Unipotent quotients in compactified Coxeter varieties
Abstract
In this paper, we extend Lusztig's description of quotients of Coxeter varieties by unipotent radicals of parabolic subgroups, to quotients of certain open neighbourhoods in the smooth compactification of Coxeter varieties. These quotients are products of an affine space with a Coxeter variety for an associated Levi quotient, and this result holds uniformly for any connected reductive group over a finite field. As an application, we prove a conjecture of Wang computing the invariants, under the action of unipotent subgroups, of the cohomology of the Deligne-Lusztig coverings of Coxeter varieties. We also prove that derived Alvis-Curtis duality sends the compactly supported cohomology of these coverings to their ordinary cohomology.
