A continuous map from R^m to R^N or from C^m to C^N is called k-regular if the images of any $k$ points are linearly independent. Given integers m and k a problem going back to Chebyshev and Borsuk is to determine the minimal value of N for…

We compute the integral Picard group of the moduli stack of polarized K3 surfaces of fixed degree whose singularities are at most rational double points. We also compute the integral Picard group of the stack of quasi-polarized K3 surfaces,…

Framed quiver moduli parametrize stable pairs consisting of a quiver representation and a map to a fixed graded vector space. Geometric properties and explicit realizations of framed quiver moduli for quivers without oriented cycles are…

We study the dynamics of polynomial mappings f:C^k to C^k of degree at least 2 that extend continuously to projective space P^k. Our approach is to study the dynamics near the hyperplane at infinity and then making a descent to K --- the…

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed orientable surface of genus at least two, and let $X, Y$ be distinct marked Riemann surface structures on $\Sigma$, possibly with opposite orientations. In this paper, we show that there are (exactly) countably…

We review the applications of mirror symmetry to the study of the moduli spaces of two-dimensional conformal field theories with $N{=}(2,2)$ supersymmetry, particularly those constructed from Calabi--Yau manifolds. (Lecture delivered at the…

We study framed translation surfaces corresponding to meromorphic differentials on compact Riemann surfaces, for which a horizontal separatrix is marked for each pole or zero. Such geometric structures naturally appear when studying flat…

We study some interesting hypersurfaces that naturally arise when studying the period map on the moduli space of hypersurfaces, in the context of Sung Gi Park's recent work on studying the GIT moduli space of hypersurfaces via the minimal…

We describe a geometric compactification of the moduli stack of left invariant complex structures on a fixed real Lie group or a fixed quotient. The extra points are CR structures transverse to a real foliation.

The problem of how to assess cross-modality medical image synthesis has been largely unexplored. The most used measures like PSNR and SSIM focus on analyzing the structural features but neglect the crucial lesion location and fundamental…

Let $V\subset\R^m$ be a centrally symmetric convex body and let $V^*\subset\R^m$ be its polar. We prove limit relations between the sharp constants in the multivariate Markov-Bernstein-Nikolskii type inequalities for algebraic polynomials…

The geometry of the moduli space of stable spin curves is studied, with emphasis on its combinatorial properties. In this context, the standard graph theoretic framework is not just a book-keeping device: some purely combinatorial results…

Given a compact set K in the plane, which contains no triple of points forming a vertical and a horizontal segment, and a continuous real-valued map f on K, we give a construction of real-valued continuous maps of one variable g,h such that…

We study periods in an integral basis near all possible singularities in one-dimensional complex structure moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau threefolds. Near large complex structure points these asymptotic periods are well understood in terms of…

The role of the normalized modularity matrix in finding homogeneous cuts will be presented. We also discuss the testability of the structural eigenvalues and that of the subspace spanned by the corresponding eigenvectors of this matrix. In…

We introduce a higher rank analog of the Pandharipande-Thomas theory of stable pairs on a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$. More precisely, we develop a moduli theory for frozen triples given by the data $O^r(-n)\rightarrow F$ where $F$ is a sheaf…

This is a continuation of prior work of the author on cosection localization for d-manifolds. We construct reduced virtual fundamental classes for derived manifolds with surjective cosections and cosection localized virtual fundamental…

In (1+1)-d CFTs, the 4-point function on the plane can be mapped to the pillow geometry and thereby crossing symmetry gets translated into a modular property. We use these modular features to derive a universal asymptotic formula for OPE…

We use a relative Fourier-Mukai transform on elliptic K3 surfaces $X$ to describe mirror symmetry. The action of this Fourier-Mukai transform on the cohomology ring of $X$ reproduces relative T-duality and provides an infinitesimal isometry…

We establish cosection localization and vanishing results for virtual fundamental classes of derived manifolds, combining the theory of derived differential geometry by Joyce with the theory of cosection localization by Kiem-Li. As an…
