One of the key objects used in Ngo's proof of the fundamental lemma is the group scheme of universal centralizers associated to a split reductive group G. In this talk, we'll discuss forthcoming work, joint with Victor Ginzburg, which describes the coordinate ring of the group scheme of universal centralizers in terms of the root datum of G using Demazure (or divided […]

In this talk, we model each voter’s input as a relation on a set of alternatives, allowing pairwise comparisons to include strict preferences, ties, or incomparability. This perspective gives a common framework for median procedures and scoring methods, including several familiar […]
