Regularity of Totally Nonnegative Wonderful Compactification

Xuhua He, Kaitao Xie

Let $G$ be a split real semisimple group of adjoint type. We prove that the cellular decomposition of the totally nonnegative part of its wonderful compactification is a regular CW…

Total positivity in twisted flag varieties

Xuhua He, Kaitao Xie

Let $G$ be a Kac-Moody group, split over $R$ . The totally nonnegative part of $G$ and its (ordinary) flag variety $G / B^{+}$ was introduced by Lusztig. It is known that the to…

Theta Positivity in Lagrangian Grassmannian

Kaitao Xie

We study the theta nonnegative part of Lagrangian Grassmannian. We show that it admits an orbital decomposition and is homeomorphic to a closed ball. We compare it with other posit…

Total positivity for matroid Schubert varieties

Xuhua He, Connor Simpson, Kaitao Xie

We define the totally nonnegative matroid Schubert variety $Y_{V}$ of a linear subspace $V \subset R^{n}$ . We show that $Y_{V}$ is a regular CW complex homeomor…

Regularity of Unipotent Elements in Total Positivity

Haiyu Chen, Kaitao Xie

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group split over R. We show that every unipotent element in the totally nonnegative monoid of G is regular in some Levi subgroups, confirming a con…
