HSE Scientists Train Neural Network to 'Hear' Faults in Electric Motors
Researchers at the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new method—the Signature-Guided Data Augmentation (SGDA) framework—that achieves 99% accuracy in motor fault detection and 86% accuracy in fault classification. The application of this approach can reduce industrial equipment repair costs, minimise downtime, and improve production safety. The study results have been published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.

'The Humanities Serve as a Conscience'
Maria Mizernaia studies Soviet literature and the history of book publishing. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, she discusses plans to publish a novel about besieged Leningrad, AI-provoked reflections on what it means to be human, and how novels can help satisfy our dopamine hunger.

Is It Possible to Predict a Citys Life Based on the Shape of Its Neighbourhoods?
Is it possible to predict, based on the configuration of streets and buildings, where a café will open or where traffic congestion will occur? Participants in the Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Urban Processes research and study group use open data and machine learning to identify universal patterns. Alexander Sheludkov and Eduard Somov discuss the purpose of comparing cities, the need for new forms of urban statistics, and how open data is transforming approaches to urban studies.

Spherical Varieties

P. 3–24.
M. Brion, R. Devyatov, D. Fratila, V. Tsanov

The present constitutes the lecture notes from a mini course at the Summer School ”Structures in Lie Representation Theory” from Bremen in August 2009.

The aim of these lectures is to describe algebraic varieties on which an algebraic group acts and the orbit structure is simple. The methods that will be used come from algebraic geometry, and representation theory of Lie algebras and algebraic groups.

We begin by presenting fundamental results on homogeneous varieties under (possibly non-linear) algebraic groups. Then we turn to the class of log homogeneous varieties, recently introduced in [7] and studied further in [8]; here the orbits are the strata defined by a divisor with normal crossings. In particular, we discuss the close relationship between log homogeneous varieties and spherical varieties, and we survey classical examples of spherical homogeneous spaces and their equivariant completions.

Орбиты сферических представлений и двойственность Пясецкого
Shunin D., Математический сборник 2026 Т. 217 № 3 С. 135–160
Dual representations V and V* of a complex connected algebraic group G simultaneously have either infinitely or finitely many orbits. Whenever the latter holds, the orbits in V and V* are in a bijective correspondence called Pyasetskii duality. We obtain a complete description of this duality in the case of spherical representations. ...

Двойственность Гейла и конус численно эффективных дивизоров на сферических многообразиях
Zhgoon V., Математические заметки 2026 Т. 119 № 1 С. 149–156
В последнее время внимание специалистов привлекло применение двойственности Гей- ла к задачам торической геометрии. Например, в работе М.Н.Шенгелии [1], в терминах двойственности Гейла было проинтерпретировано описание конуса численно эффектив- ных дивизоров (Nef-конус) на полном торическом многообразии с веером, состоящим из рациональных симплициальных конусов. Описание этого конуса, которое обычно исполь- зовалось в обзорах и лекциях, сводится ...

On the Existence of B -Root Subgroups on Affine Spherical Varieties
R. S. Avdeev, V. S. Zhgoon, Doklady Mathematics 2022 Vol. 105 No. 2 P. 51–55
Let X be an irreducible affine algebraic variety that is spherical with respect to an action of a connected reductive group G. In this paper, we provide sufficient conditions, formulated in terms of weight combinatorics, for the existence of one-parameter additive actions on X normalized by a Borel subgroup B⊂G. As an application, we prove ...

Multiple flag varieties
Smirnov E., Journal of Mathematical Sciences 2020 Vol. 248 No. 3 P. 338–373
This paper is a review of results on multiple flag varieties, i.e., varieties of the form G/P1×· · ·×G/Pr. We provide a classification of multiple flag varieties of complexity 0 and 1 and results on the combinatorics and geometry of B-orbits and their closures in double cominuscule flag varieties. We also discuss questions of finiteness for the ...

Delta-invariants for Fano varieties with large automorphism groups
Aleksei Golota, / Series arXiv "math". 2019.
For a polarized variety (X,L) and a closed connected subgroup G⊂Aut(X,L) we define a G-invariant version of the δ-threshold. We prove that for a Fano variety (X,−KX) and a connected subgroup G⊂Aut(X) this invariant characterizes G-equivariant uniform K-stability. We also use this invariant to investigate G-equivariant K-stability of some Fano varieties with large groups of ...

Merging divisorial with colored fans
Altmann K., Kiritchenko V., Petersen L., Michigan Mathematical Journal 2015 Vol. 64 P. 3–38
Given a spherical homogeneous space G/H of minimal rank, we provide a simple procedure to describe its embeddings as varieties with torus action in terms of divisorial fans. The torus in question is obtained as the identity component of the quotient group N/H, where N is the normalizer of H in G. The resulting Chow ...

Chern classes of reductive groups and an adjunction formula
Kiritchenko V., Annales de l'Institut Fourier 2006 Vol. 56 No. 4 P. 1225–1256
In this paper, I construct noncompact analogs of the Chern classes of equivariant vector bundles over complex reductive groups. For the tangent bundle, these Chern classes yield an adjunction formula for the Euler characteristic of complete intersections in reductive groups. When a complete intersection is a curve, this formula gives an explicit answer for the ...

Equivariant cobordism of flag varieties and of wonderful symmetric varieties
Kiritchenko Valentina, Krishna A., Transformation Groups 2013 Vol. 18 No. 2 P. 391–413
We obtain an explicit presentation for the equivariant cobordism ring of a complete flag variety. An immediate corollary is a Borel presentation for the ordinary cobordism ring. Another application is an equivariant Schubert calculus in cobordism. We also describe the rational equivariant cobordism rings of wonderful symmetric varieties of minimal rank. ...

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group acting on an irreducible normal algebraic variety $X$. We give a slightly improved version of  Local Structure Theorems obtained by Knop and Timashev, which describe the action of some parabolic subgroup of $G$ on an open subset of  $X$. We also extend various results of Vinberg and Timashev ...
