Speaker: Xin Jin (Boston College)Title: Multiplicative universal centralizer: Bruhat stratification, cluster structure and applicationsAbstract: The universal centralizer of a complex reductive group plays an important role in geometric representation theory. Aside from the standard group scheme structure, it possesses a natural Bruhat decomposition (and consequently a ''parabolic induction" structure) that makes the geometry quite explicit, and has many applications.The multiplicative version of the universal centralizer possesses a similar feature but has much richer (and more complicated) algebraic geometric structures. I will talk about recent results on several geometric features of the multiplicative universal centralizer. These include (a complete description of) a natural Bruhat stratification and the cluster structure on it. I will also talk about several applications. This is based on joint work with Ben Webster.
