%0 Journal Article %T Spherical subgroups of Kac-Moody groups and transitive actions on spherical varieties %A Guido Pezzini %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X We define and study a class of spherical subgroups of a Kac-Moody group. In analogy with the standard theory of spherical varieties, we introduce a combinatorial object associated with such a subgroup, its homogeneous spherical datum, and we prove that it satisfies the same axioms as in the finite-dimensional case. Our main tool is a study of varieties that are spherical under the action of a connected reductive group L, and come equipped with a transitive action of a group containing L as a Levi subgroup. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.3347v2
