Inhalt der Lehrveranstaltung:
The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to some geometric constructions in representation theory. During the first part of the lectures, I will review the necessary background from the theory of algebraic groups and I will discuss some geometry and representation theory related to flag varieties and other varieties associated to semisipmle groups. During the second part we will study the geometry of the nilpotent cone and of the Steinberg's variety. Applications to the Springer's representation of Weyl groups and to the geometry of the kleinian singularities will be discussed as well.
Tentative plan:
1. Symplectic structures, moment maps and coadjoint orbits.
2. Review of the theory of algebraic groups: Borel subgroups, maximal tori, Weyl groups, Bruhat's decomposition, etc.
3. Universal resolution of $g$, semisimple and nilpotent elements, regular elements. Chevalley theorem.
4. Nilpotent cone and Steinberg's variety. Lagrangian construction of $U (g)$ and applications to the representation theory of the Weyl groups.
5. Kleinian singularities.
