The real points of the Deligne-Knudsen-Mumford moduli space of marked points on the sphere has a natural tiling by associahedra. We extend this idea to create a moduli space tiled by cyclohedra. We explore the structure of this space,…
The modular curves serve as excellent objects for testing conjectures in arithmetic geometry. They possess a natural geometric definition in contrast with rather nontrivial structure. On the other hand, they are well-studied from the…
We prove that in a stable range, the rational cohomology of the moduli space of curves with level structures is the same as that of the ordinary moduli space of curves.
We study the moduli space of stable sheaves of Euler characteristic 1 supported on curves of bidegree (3, 3) contained in a smooth quadric surface. We show that this moduli space is rational. We compute its Betti numbers by studying the…
We construct moduli spaces of complex affine and dilation surfaces. Using ideas of Veech, we show that the the moduli space of affine surfaces with fixed genus and with cone points of fixed complex order is a holomorphic affine bundle over…
This article describes some complex-analytic aspects of the moduli space of the finite-dimensional complex representations of a finite quiver, which are stable with respect to a fixed rational weight. We construct a natural structure of a…
We connect the homotopy type of simplicial moduli spaces of algebraic structures to the cohomology of their deformation complexes. Then we prove that under several assumptions, mapping spaces of algebras over a monad in an appropriate…
It is shown that certain transformations on quiver-dimension vector pairs induce isomorphisms on the corresponding moduli spaces of quiver representations and map a stable dimension vector to a stable dimension vector. This result combined…
The moduli space of cubic surfaces in complex projective space is known to be isomorphic to the quotient of the complex 4-ball by a certain arithmetic group. We apply Borcherds' techniques to construct automorphic forms for this group and…
This note which can be viewed as a complement to Alex Postnikov's paper math.CO/0507163, presents a self-contained overview of basic properties of nested complexes and their two dual polyhedral realizations: as complete simplicial fans, and…
We survey old and new results on the existence of moduli spaces of semistable coherent sheaves both in algebraic and in complex geometry.
We present a simple algorithm for determining the extremal points in Euclidean space whose convex hull is the nth polytope in the sequence known as the multiplihedra. This answers the open question of whether the multiplihedra could be…
We define two equivalent notions of twisted stable map from a curve to a Deligne-Mumford stack with projective moduli space, and we prove that twisted stable maps of fixed degree form a complete Deligne-Mumford stack with projective moduli…
We define a moduli space of rational curves with finite-order automorphism and weighted orbits, and we prove that the combinatorics of its boundary strata are encoded by a particular polytopal complex that also captures the algebraic…
For $L \hookrightarrow X$ a Lagrangian embedding associated with a real homogeneous space, we construct the moduli space of stable holomorphic discs mapping to $(X,L)$ as an orbifold with corners equipped with a group action. Some essential…
The moduli stack of representations of a quiver, or coherent sheaves on a proper curve, carries two structures on its cohomology: a Hall algebra and braided vertex coalgebra. We show that they are compatible, by developing a formulation of…
We prove a conjecture of Ian Agol: all isometric realizations of a polyhedral surface with boundary sweep out an isotropic subset in the Kapovich-Millson moduli space of polygons isomorphic to the boundary. For a generic polyhedral disk we…
For $r \geq 1$ and $\mathbf{n} \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq0}^r\setminus\{\mathbf{0}\}$, we construct the compactified moduli space $\overline{2\mathcal{M}}_{\mathbf{n}}$ of witch curves of type $\mathbf{n}$. We equip…
We give a summary of joint work with Michael Thaddeus that realizes toroidal compactifcations of split reductive groups as moduli spaces of framed bundles on chains of rational curves. We include an extension of this work that covers Artin…
We show a few basic results about moduli spaces of semistable modules over Lie algebroids. The first result shows that such moduli spaces exist for relative projective morphisms of noetherian schemes, removing some earlier constraints. The…
