Let $(V,q)$ be a vector bundle on a smooth projective curve $X$ together with a quadratic form $q: \mathrm{Sym}^2(V) \ra \mathcal{O}_X$ (respectively symplectic form $q: \Lambda^2V \ra \mathcal{O}_X$). Fixing the degeneracy locus of the…

We consider compactifications of the space of triples of distinct points in projective $n$-space. One such space is a singular variety of configurations of points and lines; another is the smooth compactification of Fulton and MacPherson;…

For a reductive group $G$ over a finite field $k$, and a smooth projective curve $X/k$, we give a motivic counting formula for the number of absolutely indecomposable $G$-bundles on $X$. We prove that the counting can be expressed via the…

Mathematical instanton bundles on $ P_3$ have their analogues in rank--$2n$ instanton bundles on odd dimensional projective spaces $ P_{2n+1}$. The families of special instanton bundles on these spaces generalize the special 'tHooft bundles…

In this paper we construct certain moduli spaces, which we call moduli spaces of (principal) $F$-bundles, and study their basic properties. These spaces are associated to triples consisting of a smooth projective geometrically connected…

The Hamiltonian theory of zero-curvature equations with spectral parameter on an arbitrary compact Riemann surface is constructed. It is shown that the equations can be seen as commuting flows of an infinite-dimensional field generalization…

We develop a generalized field space geometry for higher-derivative scalar field theories, expressing scattering amplitudes in terms of a covariant geometry on the all-order jet bundle. The incorporation of spacetime and field derivative…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\ge2$ and let $N$ be the moduli space of stable rank $2$ vector bundles on $C$ of odd degree. We construct a semi-orthogonal decomposition of the bounded derived category of $N$ conjectured by…

We prove an analog of the Verlinde formula on the moduli space of semistable meromorphic G-Higgs bundles over a smooth curve for a reductive group G whose fundamental group is free. The formula expresses the graded dimension of the space of…

We construct the first example of a stable hyperholomorphic vector bundle of rank five on every hyper-K\"ahler manifold of $\mathrm{K3}^{[2]}$-type whose deformation space is smooth of dimension ten. Its moduli space is birational to a…

Let X be an irreducible 2n-dimensional holomorphic symplectic manifold. A reflexive sheaf F is very modular, if its Azumaya algebra End(F) deforms with X to every Kahler deformation of X. We show that if F is a slope-stable reflexive sheaf…

Given an $n$-tuple of positive real numbers $\alpha$ we consider the hyperpolygon space $X(\alpha)$, the hyperk\"{a}hler quotient analogue to the K\"ahler moduli space of polygons in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We prove the existence of an isomorphism…

Building on our previous joint work with A. Schmitt [7] we explain a recursive algorithm to determine the cohomology of moduli spaces of Higgs bundles on any given curve (in the coprime situation). As an application of the method we compute…

In this paper we study the relationship between two different compactifications of the space of vector bundle quotients of an arbitrary vector bundle on a curve. One is Grothendieck's Quot scheme, while the other is a moduli space of stable…

We give a construction of the moduli space of stable maps to the classifying stack B\mu_r of a cyclic group by a sequence of r-th root constructions on M_{0, n}. We prove a closed formula for the total Chern class of \mu_r-eigenspaces of…

The spectral side of the (conjectural) Betti geometric Langlands correspondence concerns sheaves on the character stack of an algebraic curve; in particular, the categories in question are manifestly invariant under deformations of the…

We prove the vanishing of a certain characteristic class of flat vector bundles when the structure groups of the bundles are contained in GL(N,Z). We do so by explicitly writing the characteristic class as an exact form on the base of the…

In this work we solve the problem of providing a Morita invariant definition of Lie and Courant algebroids over Lie groupoids. By relying on supergeometry, we view these structures as instances of vector fields on graded groupoids which are…

Using the $L^2$ norm of the Higgs field as a Morse function, we study the moduli spaces of $U(p,q)$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface. We require that the genus of the surface be at least two, but place no constraints on $(p,q)$. A key…

We compare spaces of non-singular algebraic sections of ample vector bundles to spaces of continuous sections of jet bundles. Under some conditions, we provide an isomorphism in homology in a range of degrees growing with the jet ampleness.…
