Spherical variety

In algebraic geometry, given a reductive algebraic group G and a Borel subgroup B, a spherical variety is a G-variety with an open dense B-orbit. It is sometimes also assumed to be normal. Examples are flag varieties, symmetric spaces and (affine or projective) toric varieties. There is also a notion of real spherical varieties. A projective spherical variety is a Mori dream space. Spherical embeddings are classified by so-called colored fans, a generalization of fans for toric varieties; this is known as Luna-Vust Theory. In his seminal paper, developed a framework to classify complex spherical subgroups of reductive groups; he reduced the classification of spherical subgroups to wonderful subgroups. He further worked out the case of groups of type A and conjectured that combinatorial objects consisting of "homogeneous spherical data" classify spherical subgroups. This is known as the Luna Conjecture.This classification is now complete according to Luna's program; see contributions of Bravi, Cupit-Foutou, Losev and Pezzini. As conjectured by Knop, every "smooth" affine spherical variety is uniquely determined by its weight monoid. This uniqueness result was proven by Losev. has been developing a program to classify spherical varieties in arbitrary characteristic. (Wikipedia).

What are the names of different types of polygons based on the number of sides

👉 Learn about polygons and how to classify them. A polygon is a plane shape bounded by a finite chain of straight lines. A polygon can be concave or convex and it can also be regular or irregular. A concave polygon is a polygon in which at least one of its interior angles is greater than 1

Pierre Py - Complex geometry and higher finiteness properties of groups

Following C.T.C. Wall, we say that a group G is of type if it has a classifying space (a K(G,1)) whose n-skeleton is finite. When n=1 (resp. n=2) one recovers the condition of finite generation (resp. finite presentation). The study of examples of groups which are of type Fn-1 but not of
