| Cycle-Level Intersection Theory for Toric Varieties This paper addresses the problem of constructing a
cycle-level intersection theory for toric varieties.
We show that by making one global choice,
we can determine a cycle representative
for the intersection of an equivariant Cartier divisor with an invariant
cycle on a toric variety. For a toric variety
defined by a fan in $N$, the choice consists of giving an
inner product or a complete flag for $M_\Q=
\Qt \Hom(N,\mathbb{Z})$, or more
generally giving for each cone $\s$ in the fan a linear subspace of
$M_\Q$ complementary to $\s^\perp$, satisfying certain compatibility
conditions.
We show that these intersection cycles have properties analogous to the
usual intersections modulo rational equivalence.
If $X$ is simplicial (for instance, if $X$ is non-singular),
we obtain a commutative ring structure
to the invariant cycles of $X$ with rational
coefficients. This ring structure determines cycles representing
certain characteristic classes of the toric variety.
We also discuss
how to define intersection cycles that require no choices,
at the expense of increasing
the size of the coefficient field.

| Reflection Subquotients of Unitary Reflection Groups Let $G$ be a finite group generated by (pseudo-) reflections in a
complex vector space and let $g$ be any linear transformation which
normalises $G$. In an earlier paper, the authors showed how to
associate with any maximal eigenspace of an element of the coset
$gG$, a subquotient of $G$ which acts as a reflection group on the
eigenspace. In this work, we address the questions of
irreducibility and the coexponents of this subquotient, as well as
centralisers in $G$ of certain elements of the coset. A criterion
is also given in terms of the invariant degrees of $G$ for an
integer to be regular for $G$. A key tool is the investigation of
extensions of invariant vector fields on the eigenspace, which
leads to some results and questions concerning the geometry of
intersections of invariant hypersurfaces.
