We study character varieties arising as moduli of representations of an orientable surface group into a reductive group $G$. We first show that if $G/Z$ acts freely on the representation variety, then both the representation variety and the…

Globally irreducible nodes (i.e. nodes whose branches belong to the same irreducible component) have mild effects on the most common topological invariants of an algebraic curve. In other words, adding a globally irreducible node (simple…

We investigate a novel geometric Iwasawa theory for $\mathbf{Z}_p$-extensions of function fields over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ by replacing the usual study of $p$-torsion in class groups with the study of $p$-torsion…

We study branched covers of curves with specified ramification points, under a notion of equivalence derived from linear series. In characteristic 0, no non-constant families of covers with fixed ramification points exist. In positive…

This is the continuation of the article by the author that proves a broader class of families admitting the theorem of restriction of sections other than Abelian varieties and gives new examples of pseudo-N\'eron models. In this work, we…

The intersection numbers for p spin curves of the moduli space M(g,n) are considered for D type by a matrix model. The asymptotic behavior of the large genus g limit and large p limit are derived. The remarkable features of the cases of p=…

In this paper we will use a particular non-commutative scheme to, among other things, study the ramification properties of the field of $p$-torsion points on an elliptic curve and its reduction properties. Also, we show that this…

In this paper we generalize the Deuring theorem on a reduction of elliptic curve with complex multiplication. More precisely, for an Abelian variety $A$, arising after reduction of an Abelian variety with complex multiplication by a CM…

Let $k$ be a field. Let $X/k$ be a stable curve whose geometric irreducible components are smooth rational curves. Taking Stein factorization of its normalization, we get a conic. We show the conic is non-split in certain cases. As an…

We study some integral model of P.E.L. Shimura varieties of type A for ramified primes. Precisely, we look at the Pappas-Rapoport model (or splitting model) of some unitary Shimura varieties for which there is ramification in the degree 2…

We give restrictions on the existence of families of curves on smooth projective surfaces $S$ of nonnegative Kodaira dimension all having constant geometric genus $g \geq 2$ and hyperelliptic normalizations. In particular, we prove a…

In this paper we consider a generalization of a well known result by Veronese about rational normal curves. More precisely, given a collection of linear spaces in $\PP^n$ we study the existence of rational normal curves intersecting each…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\geq 3$ and let $\eta$ be an odd theta characteristic on it such that $h^0(C,\eta) = 1$. Pick a point $p$ from the support of $\eta$ and consider the one-dimensional linear system $|\eta +…

The Hirota variety parameterizes solutions to the KP equation arising from a degenerate Riemann theta function. In this work, we study in detail the Hirota variety arising from a rational nodal curve. Of particular interest is the…

We determine the stable reduction at $p$ of all three point covers of the projective line with Galois group ${\rm SL}_2(p)$. As a special case, we recover the results of Deligne and Rapoport on the reduction of the modular curves $X_0(p)$…

This is the first in a series of papers in which we study the n-Selmer group of an elliptic curve, with the aim of representing its elements as genus one normal curves of degree n. The methods we describe are practical in the case n=3 for…

We derive recursive equations for the characteristic numbers of rational nodal plane curves with at most one cusp, subject to point conditions, tangent conditions and flag conditions, developing techniques akin to quantum cohomology on a…

We study rational curves on general Fano hypersurfaces in projective space, mostly by degenerating the hypersurface along with its ambient projective space to reducible varieties. We prove results on existence of low-degree rational curves…

We begin with a comprehensive discussion of the punctual Hilbert scheme of the regular two-dimensional local ring in terms of the Gr\"obner cells. These schemes are the most degenerate fibers of the Grothendieck-Deligne norm map (the…

We develop a new general method for computing the decomposition type of the normal bundle to a projective rational curve. This method is then used to detect and explain an example of a Hilbert scheme that parametrizes all the rational…
