An Algorithm to compute the Kronecker cone and other moment cones

We describe a new algorithm that computes the minimal list of inequalities for the moment cone of any representation of a complex reductive group, with implementation details for two fundamental cases: the Kronecker cone (governing the asymptotic support of Kronecker coefficients) and the fermionic cone. These correspond to the actions of ${\mathrm GL}\_{d\_1}({\mathbb C})\times\cdots\times {\mathrm GL}\_{d\_s}({\mathbb C})$ on ${\mathbb C}^{d\_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes {\mathbb C}^{d\_s}$ and ${\mathrm GL}\_d({\mathbb C})$ on $\bigwedge^r{\mathbb C}^d$, respectively. An implementation for these two cases in Python-Sage is available at https://ea-icj.github.io/. Our work overcomes the fundamental limitations that previously restricted such computations to cases like ${\mathbb C}^4\otimes{\mathbb C}^4\otimes{\mathbb C}^4$. The state-of-the-art method by Vergne-Walter faced two major bottlenecks: one from combinatorial geometry in finite-dimensional vector spaces, and another from deciding whether certain dominant morphisms are birational - a problem in effective algebraic geometry that lacked a direct algorithmic solution. We surmount these obstacles by: a novel use of Weyl group actions to master combinatorial complexity, and an original algorithm for deciding birationality that replaces previous workarounds relying on convex geometry. Our approach allow us to tackle problems at a new scale. We compute the minimal list of 5,333 (up to $\mathfrak S\_3$) inequalities for the Kronecker cone ${\mathbb C}^6\otimes{\mathbb C}^6\otimes{\mathbb C}^6$ in 2 hours. Furthermore, a parallel implementation computes the 64,792 (up to $\mathfrak S\_3$) inequalities for ${\mathbb C}^7\otimes{\mathbb C}^7\otimes{\mathbb C}^7$ in 188 hours.

On the automorphisms of the Drinfel'd double of a Borel Lie subalgebra

Let ${\mathfrak g}$ be a complex simple Lie algebra with Borel subalgebra ${\mathfrak b}$. Consider the semidirect product $I{\mathfrak b}={\mathfrak b}\ltimes{\mathfrak b}^*$, where the dual ${\mathfrak b}^*$ of ${\mathfrak b}$, is equipped with the coadjoint action of ${\mathfrak b}$ and is considered as an abelian ideal of $I{\mathfrak b}$. We describe the automorphism group ${\operatorname{Aut}}(I{\mathfrak b})$ of the Lie algebra $I{\mathfrak b}$. In particular we prove that it contains the automorphism group of the extended Dynkin diagram of ${\mathfrak b}$. In type $A_n$, the dihedral subgroup was recently proved to be contained in ${\operatorname{Aut}}(I{\mathfrak b})$ by Dror Bar-Natan and Roland Van Der Veen in arXiv:2002.00697 (where $I{\mathfrak b}$ is denoted by $I{\mathfrak u}_n$). Their construction is handmade and they ask for an explanation: this note fully answers the question.

Parabolic Conjugation and Commuting Varieties

We consider the conjugation-action of an arbitrary upper-block parabolic subgroup of the general linear group on the variety of nilpotent matrices in its Lie algebra. Lie-theoretically, it is natural to wonder about the number of orbits of this action. We translate the setup to a representation-theoretic one and obtain a finiteness criterion which classifies all actions with only a finite number of orbits over an arbitrary infinite field. These results are applied to commuting varieties and nested punctual Hilbert schemes.
