In this paper the moduli space of Higgs pairs over a fixed smooth projective curve with extra formal data is defined and it is endowed with a scheme structure. We introduce a relative version of the Krichever map using a fibration of Sato…
In this note, we use the method of [3] to give a simple proof of famous Witten conjecture. Combining the coefficients derived in our note and this method, we can derive more recursion formulas of Hodge integrals.
The present article studies the class of Einstein-Hermitian harmonic maps of constant Kaehler angle from the projective line into quadrics. We provide a description of their moduli spaces up to image, and gauge-equivalence using the…
By associating to a curve C of genus g=2k and a pencil of degree d=k+1 the so-called trace curve (resp. the reduced trace curve) we define a rational map from the Hurwitz space of admissible covers of genus g=2k and degree d=k+1 to a moduli…
In this paper we give a new proof of the ELSV formula. First, we refine an argument of Okounkov and Pandharipande in order to prove (quasi-)polynomiality of Hurwitz numbers without using the ELSV formula (the only way to do that before used…
We construct a moduli space of stable maps with fields associated to a triple $(X,E,s)$ of a projective variety (or a DM stack with projective moduli space) a vector bundle and a section. We show the class coincides up to a sign with the…
We study the stable pair theory on toric surfaces and determine the virtual tangent space over the fixed point loci. Further, we present a program to compute the virtual Euler characteristic, illustrated by the case of the projective plane.…
We study spin Hurwitz numbers, which count ramified covers of the Riemann sphere with a sign coming from a theta characteristic. These numbers are known to be related to Gromov-Witten theory of K\"ahler surfaces and to representation theory…
We prove a remarkable formula for Hodge integrals conjectured by Marino and Vafa based on large N duality, using functorial virtual localization on certain moduli spaces of relative stable morphisms.
Kottwitz's conjecture describes the contribution of a supercuspidal represention to the cohomology of a local Shimura variety in terms of the local Langlands correspondence. A natural extension of this conjecture concerns Scholze's more…
It is known that the main component of the Kontsevich's moduli space of elliptic stable maps is singular. There are two different desingularizations. One is Vakil-Zinger's desingularization and the other is the moduli space of logarithmic…
The goal of this article is to define a linearized or depth-graded version $\mathfrak{lkv}$, and a closely related elliptic version $\mathfrak{krv}_{ell}$, of the Kashiwara-Vergne Lie algebra $\mathfrak{krv}$ originally constructed by…
We interpret the degrees which arise in Tevelev's study of scattering amplitudes in terms of moduli spaces of Hurwitz covers. Via excess intersection theory, the boundary geometry of the Hurwitz moduli space yields a simple recursion for…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over the complex numbers. To every representation $\rho\colon \GL(r)\lra \GL(V)$ of the complex general linear group on the finite dimensional complex vector space $V$ which satisfies the assumption that…
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…
Inductive formulas for the Betti numbers of the moduli spaces of stable holomorphic vector bundles of coprime rank and degree over a fixed Riemann surface of genus at least two were obtained by Harder, Narasimhan, Desale and Ramanan using…
We consider a variant of the ring of components of Hurwitz spaces introduced by Ellenberg, Venkatesh and Westerland. By focusing on Hurwitz spaces classifying covers of the projective line, the resulting ring of components is commutative,…
We show how the Abel-Jacobi map provides all the principal properties of an ample family of integrable mechanical systems associated to hyperelliptic curves. We prove that derivative of the Abel-Jacobi map is just the St\"{a}ckel matrix,…
The moduli space of stable relative maps to the projective line combines features of stable maps and admissible covers. We prove all standard Gromov-Witten classes on these moduli spaces of stable relative maps have tautological…
In this article we give a totally new proof of the integral localization formula for equivariantly closed differential forms (Theorem 7.11 in [BGV]). We restate it here as Theorem 2. This localization formula is very well known, but the…
