Based on Teichm\"uller theory, we construct a degenerating family $\overline{Y}_g^{orb} \rightarrow \overline{M}_g^{orb}$ over the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space with the natural orbifold structure such that any…

We study spherical Schubert varieties in the affine Grassmannian. These Schubert varieties have a natural conjectural modular description due to Finkelberg-Mirkovi\'c. This modular description is easily seen to be set-theoretically correct,…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra. For a regular element $x$ in $\mathfrak{g}$ and a Hessenberg space $H\subseteq \mathfrak{g}$, we consider a regular Hessenberg variety $X(x,H)$ in the flag variety associated with…

Let F be a finite family of graphs. In the F-Deletion problem, one is given a graph G and an integer k, and the goal is to find k vertices whose deletion results in a graph with no minor from the family F. This may be regarded as a…

We consider an explicitly solvable model (formulated in the Riemannian geometry terms) for a stationary wave process in a specific thin domain with the Dirichlet boundary conditions on the boundary of the domain. The transition from the…

We prove that many normal subgroups of the extended mapping class group of a surface with punctures are geometric, that is, that their automorphism groups and abstract commensurator groups are isomorphic to the extended mapping class group.…

We give two kinds of generalizations of Arakelov type inequalities for higher dimensional families. These results give higher dimensional generalizations (in both fibers and bases) of the weakly boundedness in Par\v{s}in-Arakelov's…

On a group $G$, a filtration by normal subgroups is referred to as a normal series. If subsequent quotients are abelian, the filtration is referred to as an \emph{abelian-quotient normal series}, or `AQ normal series' for short. In this…

We study the behavior of real-normalized (RN) meromorphic differentials on Riemann surfaces under degeneration. We determine all possible limits of RN differentials in degenerating sequences of smooth curves, and describe the limit in terms…

In global supersymmetric Wess-Zumino models with minimal K\"ahler potentials, F-type supersymmetry breaking always yields instability or continuous degeneracy of non-supersymmetric vacua. As a generalization of the original O'Raifeartaigh's…

We prove that a normal variety contains finitely many maximal quasi-projective open subvarieties. As a corollary, we obtain the following generalization of the Chevalley-Kleiman projectivity criterion : a normal variety is quasi-projective…

We investigate in this paper the so-called pointed Shafarevich problem for families of primitive symplectic varieties. More precisely, for any fixed pointed curve $(B, 0)$ and any fixed primitive symplectic variety $X$, among all locally…

We study the local geometry of the pullback of a variety via a finite holomorphic map. In particular, we are looking for properties of $V = F^{-1}(W)$ such that if $V$ has the property $A$, then $W$ must have the property $A$. We show that…

In this paper we study the following problem. Let $A$ be a fixed graph, and let $\hom(G,A)$ denote the number of homomorphisms from a graph $G$ to $A$. Furthermore, let $v(G)$ denote the number of vertices of $G$, and let $\mathcal{G}_d$…

We investigate families of graphs and graphons (graph limits) that are defined by a finite number of prescribed subgraph densities. Our main focus is the case when the family contains only one element, i.e., a unique structure is forced by…

We study the structure of Jacobians of geometrically reduced curves over arbitrary (i. e., not necessarily perfect) fields. We show that, while such a group scheme cannot in general be decomposed into an affine and an Abelian part as over…

We give new homotopy theoretic criteria for deciding when a fibration with homotopy finite fibers admits a reduction to a fiber bundle with compact topological manifold fibers. The criteria lead to a new and unexpected result about…

We give a simplified proof (in characteristic zero) of the decomposition theorem for complex projective varieties with klt singularities and numerically trivial canonical bundle. The proof rests in an essential way on most of the partial…

We introduce a "limiting Frobenius structure" attached to any degeneration of projective varieties over a finite field of characteristic p which satisfies a p-adic lifting assumption. Our limiting Frobenius structure is shown to be…

Let T -> S be a finite flat morphism of degree two between regular integral schemes of dimension at most two (and with 2 invertible), having regular branch divisor D. We establish a bijection between Azumaya quaternion algebras on T and…
