We propose a generalisation of Mori dream spaces to stacks. We show that this notion is preserved under root constructions and taking abelian gerbes. Unlike the case of Mori dream spaces, such a stack is not always given as a quotient of…
We study strong exceptional collections of line bundles on Fano toric Deligne-Mumford stacks $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbf{\Sigma}}$ with rank of Picard group at most two. We prove that any strong exceptional collection of line bundles generates the…
We compute the rational homology of the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}$ of objects in the derived category of certain smooth complex projective varieties $X$ including toric varieties, flag varieties, curves, surfaces, and some 3- and 4-folds.…
We develop some concrete methods to build Sarkisov links, starting from Mori fibre spaces. This is done by studying low rank Cox rings and their properties. As part of this development, we give an algorithm to construct explicitly the…
We introduce a sequence of isolated curve singularities, the elliptic m-fold points, and an associated sequence of stability conditions, generalizing the usual definition of Deligne-Mumford stability. For every pair of integers 0<m<n, we…
We investigate moduli stacks of pointed chains of projective lines related to the Losev-Manin moduli spaces and show that these moduli stacks coincide with certain toric stacks which can be described in terms of the Cartan matrices of root…
This work investigates the Frobenius morphism on derived categories associated with algebraic stacks in positive characteristic. Particularly, we show that in many cases sufficiently many Frobenius pushforwards of a compact generator…
In this short note, we propose a definition of complete Hurwitz schemes (and stacks) in mixed characteristic. We follow an idea of R. Pandharipande, and define the complete Hurwitz stack as a substack of stable maps of degree d of nodal…
We explain a method for calculating the cohomology of line bundles on a toric variety in terms of the cohomology of certain constructible sheaves on the polytope. We show its effective use by means of some examples.
Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group. A toric principal $G$-bundle is a principal $G$-bundle over a toric variety together with a torus action commuting with the $G$-action. Extending the Klyachko classification of toric vector bundles,…
We call a sheaf on an algebraic variety immaculate if it lacks any cohomology including the zero-th one, that is, if the derived version of the global section functor vanishes. Such sheaves are the basic tools when building exceptional…
We introduce Deligne cohomology that classifies U(1) fibre bundles over 3-manifolds endowed with connections. We show how the structure of Deligne cohomology classes provides a way to perform exact (non-perturbative) computations in U(1)…
For a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack over $\CC$, we define its associated Kodaira-Spencer differential graded Lie algebra and show that the deformation functor of the stack is isomorphic to the deformation functor of the Kodaira-Spencer…
We make some remarks about bubbling on, not necessarily proper, champs de Deligne-Mumford, i.e. compactification of the space of mappings from a given (wholly scheme like) curve, so, in particular, on quasi-projective projective varieties.…
We conjecture and prove closed-form index expressions for the cohomology dimensions of line bundles on del Pezzo and Hirzebruch surfaces. Further, for all compact toric surfaces we provide a simple algorithm which allows expression of any…
We present an algorithm for computing line bundle valued cohomology classes over toric varieties. This is the basic starting point for computing massless modes in both heterotic and Type IIB/F-theory compactifications, where the manifolds…
Let $X\to B$ be a proper flat morphism between smooth quasi-projective varieties of relative dimension $n$, and $L\to X$ a line bundle which is ample on the fibers. We establish formulas for the first two terms in the Knudsen-Mumford…
Special fibrations of toric varieties have been used by physicists, e.g. the school of Candelas, to construct dual pairs in the study of Het/F-theory duality. Motivated by this, we investigate in this paper the details of toric morphisms…
We prove a Givental-style mirror theorem for toric Deligne--Mumford stacks X. This determines the genus-zero Gromov--Witten invariants of X in terms of an explicit hypergeometric function, called the I-function, that takes values in the…
This is the companion article to the Bourbaki talk of the same name given in March 2009. The main theme of the talk and the article is to explain the interplay between homotopy theory and algebraic geometry through the Hopkins-Miller-Lurie…
