Mirković-Vilonen cycles and polytopes

Joel Kamnitzer

doi:http://doi.org/10.4007/annals.2010.171.245

Abstract

We give an explicit description of the Mirković-Vilonen cycles on the affine Grassmannian for arbitrary complex reductive groups. We also give a combinatorial characterization of the MV polytopes. We prove that a polytope is an MV polytope if and only if it is a lattice polytope whose defining hyperplanes are parallel to those of the Weyl polytopes and whose 2-faces are rank 2 MV polytopes. As an application, we give a bijection between Lusztig’s canonical basis and the set of MV polytopes.
