We give an effective infinitesimal Torelli theorem for cyclic covers of G/P, where G is a simple algebraic group and P is a maximal parabolic subgroup.

We describe the intersection of the Torelli locus $j(\mathcal{M}_4^{ct}) = \mathcal{J}_4$ with Newton and Ekedahl-Oort strata related to the supersingular locus in characteristic two. We show that the locus of supersingular Jacobians…

We prove an equivalence between the infinitesimal Torelli theorem for top forms on a hypersurface contained inside a Grassmannian $\mathbb G$ and the theory of adjoint volume forms presented in L. Rizzi, F. Zucconi, "Generalized adjoint…

We consider the generic Green conjecture on syzygies of a canonical curve, and particularly the following reformulation thereof: {\it For a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g$ in characteristic 0, the condition ${\rm Cliff} C>l$ is…

We show that every component of the locus of smooth supersingular curves of genus $4$ in characteristic $p>2$ has a trivial generic automorphism group. As a result, we prove Oort's conjecture about automorphism groups of supersingular…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive $p$-adic group and let $\theta$ be an automorphism of $G$ of order at most two. Suppose $\pi$ is an irreducible smooth representation of $G$ that is taken to its dual by $\theta$. The space $V$ of $\pi$ then…

Given a compact K\"ahler manifold, the Infinitesimal Torelli problem asks whether the differential of the period map of a Kuranishi family is injective. Unlike the classical Torelli theorem for curves, there is a negative answer for example…

We prove that, given the isomorphism class of the parabolic Deligne-Hitchin moduli space over a smooth projective curve, we can recover the isomorphism class of the curve and the parabolic points.

We generalize Abel's classical theorem on linear equivalence of divisors on a Riemann surface. For every closed submanifold $M^d \subset X^n$ in a compact oriented Riemannian $n$--manifold, or more generally for any $d$--cycle $Z$ relative…

We prove that any smooth projective geometrically connected non-isotrivial curve of genus $g\ge 2$ over a one-dimensional function field of any characteristic has at most $16g^2+32g+124$ torsion points for any Abel-Jacobi embedding of the…

In this paper we prove results on Birkhoff and Oseledets genericity along certain curves in the space of affine lattices and in moduli spaces of translation surfaces. We also prove applications of these results to dynamical billiards,…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$. We present an explicit algorithm that, given the invariants of a generic homogeneous polynomial $f$ under the linear action of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ or $\mathrm{SL}_n$, returns a polynomial differing from…

Let l be a prime and G a pro-l group with torsion-free abelianization. We produce group-theoretic analogues of the Johnson/Morita cocycle for G -- in the case of surface groups, these cocycles appear to refine existing constructions when…

We prove a Torelli theorem for the moduli space of semistable parabolic Higgs bundles over a smooth complex projective algebraic curve under the assumption that the parabolic weight system is generic. When the genus is at least two, using…

To a pair $(A,s)$ consisting of a smooth, cyclic $A_\infty$-algebra $A$ and a splitting $s$ of the Hodge filtration on its Hochschild homology Costello (2005) associates an invariant which conjecturally generalizes the total descendant…

We denote by $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,r}$ the Hilbert scheme of smooth curves, which is the union of components whose general point corresponds to a smooth irreducible and non-degenerate curve of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in $\PP^r$. In this note,…

The Margulis invariant is a function defined on a group of Lorentzian transformations $G$ acting on Minkowski space $\R^{2,1}$, that contains no elliptic elements. The spectrum of $G$ is the sequence of values of the Margulis invariant for…

A genus one curve of degree 5 is defined by the 4 x 4 Pfaffians of a 5 x 5 alternating matrix of linear forms on P^4. We describe a general method for investigating the invariant theory of such models. We use it to explain how we found our…

This is the second paper in a series on intrinsic Donaldson-Thomas theory, a framework for studying the enumerative geometry of general algebraic stacks. In this paper, we present the construction of Donaldson-Thomas invariants for general…

On a smooth closed oriented 4-manifold $M$ with a smooth action by a finite group $G$, we show that a $G$-monopole class gives the $L^2$-estimate of the Ricci curvature of a $G$-invariant Riemannian metric, and derive a topological…
