Comments welcome!", "categories": [ "math.RT", "math.AG" ], "abstract": "We introduce a natural analogue of Steinberg's cross-section in the loop group of an unramified reductive group $\\mathbf G$. We show this loop Steinberg's cross-section provides a simple geometric model for the poset $B(\\mathbf G)$ of Frobenius-twisted conjugacy classes (referred to as Newton strata) of the loop group. As an application, we confirm a conjecture by Ivanov on loop Delgine-Lusztig varieties of Coxeter type. This geometric model also leads to new and direct proofs of several classical results, including the converse to Mazur's inequality, Chai's length formula on $B(\\mathbf G)$, and a key combinatorial identity in the study affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties with finite Coxeter parts.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-24T04:33:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "newton strata", "loop group", "study affine deligne-lusztig varieties", "simple geometric model", "finite coxeter parts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
