We construct a new compactification of the moduli space of maps from pointed nonsingular projective stable curves to a nonsingular projective variety with prescribed ramification indices at the points. It is shown to be a proper…
We construct virtual fundamental classes on nested Hilbert schemes of points and curves in complex nonsingular projective surfaces. These classes recover the virtual classes of Seiberg-Witten theory as well as the (reduced) stable theory,…
The moduli space of regular stable maps with values in a complex manifold admits naturally the structure of a complex orbifold. Our proof uses the methods of differential geometry rather than algebraic geometry. It is based on Hardy…
The moduli dependence of $(2,2)$ superstring compactifications based on Calabi--Yau hypersurfaces in weighted projective space has so far only been investigated for Fermat-type polynomial constraints. These correspond to Landau-Ginzburg…
B. Kim and the first author proved a result comparing the virtual fundamental classes of the moduli spaces of stable quasimaps and stable LG-quasimaps by studying localized Chern characters for 2-periodic complexes. In this paper, we study…
In this note, we collect mostly known formulas and methods to compute the standard and virtual Poincar\'e polynomials of the configuration spaces of the plane $\mathbb{C} \setminus k$ with $k$ deleted points and compare the answers.
Moduli spaces of stable sheaves on smooth projective surfaces are in general singular. Nonetheless, they carry a virtual class, which -- in analogy with the classical case of Hilbert schemes of points -- can be used to define intersection…
We analyze the relationship between two compactifications of the moduli space of maps from curves to a Grassmannian: the Kontsevich moduli space of stable maps and the Marian--Oprea--Pandharipande moduli space of stable quotients. We…
We introduce a new method of calculating intersections on \bar{M}_{g,n}, using localization of equivariant cohomology. As an application, we give a proof of Mirzakhani's recursion relation for calculating intersections of mixed psi and…
Given a curve over a finite field, we compute the number of stable bundles of not necessarily coprime rank and degree over it. We apply this result to compute the virtual Poincare polynomials of the moduli spaces of stable bundles over a…
The main purpose of this paper is to give an explicit description of the moduli space of semistable sheaves of rank two on a stable curve C obtained by gluing two smooth curves at a point. We prove that the moduli space is irreducible and…
We study the numerical simulation of supersymmetric models having a local Nicolai map. The mapping can be regarded as a stochastic equation and its numerical integration provides an algorithm for the simulation of the original model. In…
We compute the virtual Poincar\'e polynomials of the configuration space of $n$ ordered points on an elliptic curve with sum 0.
We propose a variation of the classical Hilbert scheme of points - the double nested Hilbert scheme of points - which parametrizes flags of zero-dimensional subschemes whose nesting is dictated by a Young diagram. Over a smooth…
We construct a natural branch divisor for equidimensional projective morphisms where the domain has lci singularities and the target is nonsingular. The method involves generalizing a divisor contruction of Mumford from sheaves to…
We construct a virtual fundamental class on the Quot scheme parametrizing quotients of a trivial bundle on a curve. We use the virtual localization formula to calculate virtual intersection numbers on Quot. As a consequence, we reprove the…
We solve the problem of equivariant mirror symmetry for O(-3)->P^2 for the (three) cases of one independent equivariant parameter. This gives a decomposition of mirror symmetry for local P^2 into that of three subspaces, each of which may…
In a $n$-dimensional Lie algebra, random numerical values are assigned by computer to $n(n-1)$ especially selected structure constants. An algorithm is then created, which calculates without ambiguity the remaining constants, obeying the…
We introduce a non-associative model for the Hilbert scheme of points in arbitrary dimension. We define a smooth ambient space, which we call the non-associative Hilbert scheme, containing the classical nested Hilbert scheme…
We prove orientation results for evaluation maps of moduli spaces of rational stable maps to del Pezzo surfaces over a field, both in characteristic $0$ and in positive characteristic. These results and the theory of degree developed in a…
