Let $G$ be a split reductive group with Weyl group $W$, root lattice $\Phi$, and $V=\mathbf{Z}\Phi\otimes_{\mathbf{Z}}\mathbf{Q}$. Let $\mathit{Br}_W^+$ denote the positive braid m…

Let $G$ be a complex, connected, reductive algebraic group, let $B_+$ and $B_-$ be opposed Borel subgroups, and let $U_+$ and $U_-$ be their unipotent radicals. Let…

Let $P$ be a special piece in the unipotent variety of a reductive algebraic group. Normality conjecture for special pieces. Every special piece $P$ is normal. This is a necessary…
