We construct small desingularizations of moduli spaces of semistable quiver representations for indivisible dimension vectors using deformations of stabilites and a dimension estimate for nullcones. We apply this construction to several…

We describe the GIT compactification for the moduli space of smooth quintic surfaces in projective space. In particular, we show that a normal quintic surface with at worst an isolated double point or a minimal elliptic singularity is…

This is a survey article for the mathematical theory of Witten's Gauged Linear Sigma Model, as developed recently by the authors. Instead of developing the theory in the most general setting, in this paper we focus on the description of the…

The wall-and-chamber structure of the dependence of the reductive GIT quotient on the choice of linearisation is well known. In this article, we first give a brief survey of recent results in non-reductive GIT, which apply when the…

This is an expository paper in which we define projective GIT quotients and introduce toric varieties from this perspective. It is intended primarily for readers who are learning either invariant theory or toric geometry for the first time.

We discuss selected topics on the topology of moduli spaces of curves and maps, emphasizing their relation with Gromov--Witten theory and integrable systems.

We construct new moduli spaces of quiver representations with multiplicities, i.e. over rings of truncated power series. This includes moduli of framed representations and analogues of Nakajima quiver varieties. Our construction relies on…

Many moduli spaces are constructed as quotients of group actions; this paper surveys the classical theory, as well as recent progress and applications. We review geometric invariant theory for reductive groups and how it is used to…

This article is based in part on lecture notes prepared for the summer school "The Geometry, Topology and Physics of Moduli Spaces of Higgs Bundles" at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore in July…

We study the deformations of the minimally elliptic surface singularity $N_{16}$. A standard argument reduces the study of the deformations of $N_{16}$ to the study of the moduli space of pairs $(C,L)$ consisting of a plane quintic curve…

In [arXiv:2008.04625] the authors constructed a classifying space for polystable holomorphic vector bundles on a compact K\"ahler manifold using analytic GIT theory. The aim of this article is to show that this classifying space taken in…

In these notes, we introduce various approaches (GIT, Hodge theory, and KSBA) to constructing and compactifying moduli spaces. We then discuss the pros and cons for each approach, as well as some connections between them.

These lecture notes consist of an introduction to moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, with a strong emphasis placed on examples related to the theory of quiver representations. The goal is to provide the background necessary to understand…

We investigate the relationship between Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) heights and weighted heights, with a focus on their interaction in weighted projective spaces and their application to binary forms. Building on the weighted height…

We introduce and study smooth compactifications of the moduli space of n labeled points with weights in projective space, which have normal crossings boundary and are defined as GIT quotients of the weighted Fulton-MacPherson…

We provide a sketch of the GIT construction of the moduli spaces for the three classes of connections: the class of meromorphic connections with fixed divisor of poles $D$ and its subclasses of integrable and integrable logarithmic…

To every oriented tree, we associate a moduli problem for sheaves over a projective manifold $X$. We define the corresponding notion of semistability and establish the existence of moduli spaces. Applying the results to the tree *->*, we…

We study various compactifications of moduli space of Newton maps. Mainly, we focus on GIT compactifiaction and Deligne-Mumford compactification. Then we explore the relations among these compactifications.

We study compactifications of the moduli space of unordered points in the plane via variation of GIT quotients of their corresponding Hilbert scheme. Our VGIT considers linearizations outside the ample cone and within the movable cone. For…

We discuss the GIT moduli of semistable pairs consisting of a cubic curve and a line on the projective plane. We study in some detail this moduli and compare it with another moduli suggested by Alexeev. It is the moduli of pairs (with no…
