Review text

Let \(G\) be a split reductive algebraic group over the real numbers \(\mathbb{R}\) and denote by \(G_{\geq0}\) the semi-subgroup of totally positive elements of \(G\) [as defined in: \textit{G. Lusztig}, Prog. Math. 123, 531-568 (1994; Zbl 0845.20034)]. The first result of the paper shows that the combinatorics which is necessary to describe the relation between the two parameterizations of the canonical basis of a \(G\)-module, coming from regarding it either as a highest or lowest weight module, also appears in the geometry of \(G_{\geq0}\) over \(\mathbb{R}(\epsilon)\), where \(\epsilon\) is an indeterminate. The second result is that \(G_{\geq0}\) can be defined by explicit inequalities, provided by certain canonical basis elements. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0857.00012].
