Proof of the Knop conjecture
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 59 (2009) no. 3, pp. 1105-1134.

In this paper we prove the Knop conjecture asserting that two smooth affine spherical varieties with the same weight monoid are equivariantly isomorphic. We also state and prove a uniqueness property for (not necessarily smooth) affine spherical varieties.

Dans cet article nous prouvons la conjecture de Knop qui affirme que deux variétés affines sphériques lisses avec le même monoïde des poids sont isomorphes de manière équivariante. On énonce et prouve également une propriété d’unicité pour des variétés affines sphériques non nécessairement lisses.
