Motivated by S-duality modularity conjectures in string theory, we define new invariants counting a restricted class of 2-dimensional torsion sheaves, enumerating pairs $Z\subset H$ in a Calabi-Yau threefold X. Here H is a member of a…

We investigate stable operations in supersingular elliptic cohomology using isogenies of supersingular elliptic curves over finite fields. Our main results provide a framework in which we give a conceptually simple proof of an elliptic…

Let X be a K3 surface with an involution g which has non-empty fixed locus X^g and acts non-trivially on a non-zero holomorphic 2-form. We shall construct all such pairs (X, g) in a canonical way, from some better known double coverings of…

Given a smooth curve X of genus g we compute de dimension of the family of curves C which have an involution over X. Moreover we distinguish when the curve C is hyperelliptic.

Recall that a non-singular planar quartic is a canonically embedded non-hyperelliptic curve of genus three. We say such a curve is symmetric if it admits non-trivial automorphisms. The classification of (necessarily finite) groups appearing…

We prove $p$-adic uniformization for Shimura curves attached to the group of unitary similitudes of certain binary skew hermitian spaces $V$ with respect to an arbitrary CM field $K$ with maximal totally real subfield $F$. For a place $v|p$…

The rational cohomology of the moduli space of rank two, odd degree stable bundles over a curve (of genus g > 1) has been studied intensely in recent years and in particular the invariant subring generated by Newstead's generators alpha,…

This paper is the second in a series of four papers aiming to describe the (almost integral) Chow ring of $\Mbar_3$, the moduli stack of stable curves of genus $3$. In this paper, we introduce the moduli stack $\Htilde_g^r$ of hyperelliptic…

In classical invariant theory, the Gr\"obner base of the ideal of syzygies and the normal forms of polynomials of invariants are two core contents. To improve the performance of invariant theory in symbolic computing of classical geometry,…

In this paper, we give a new genus-3 topological recursion relation for Gromov-Witten invariants of compact symplectic manifolds. This formula also applies to intersection numbers on moduli spaces of spin curves. A by-product of the proof…

We give a parametrization of square roots of the ideal class of the inverse different of rings defined by binary forms in terms of the orbits of a coregular representation. This parametrization, which can be construed as a new integral…

When the genus $g$ is even, we extend the computation of mod 2 cohomological invariants of $\mathcal{H}_g$ to non algebraically closed fields, we give an explicit functorial description of the invariants and we completely describe their…

We design efficient algorithms to evaluate modular equations of Siegel and Hilbert type for abelian surfaces over number fields or finite fields using complex approximations. Their output is provably correct when the associated graded ring…

The skein algebra of an oriented $3$-manifold is a classical limit of the Kauffman bracket skein module and gives the coordinate ring of the $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$-character variety. In this paper we determine the quotient of a polynomial ring…

We construct a scalar invariant of flat principal 2-bundles over 3-manifolds, with structure 2-group $\mathcal{G}$, from an involutory Hopf algebra graded by $\mathcal{G}$. Expressing $\mathcal{G}$ in terms of a crossed module $\chi$ and…

We study unit groups of rings of the form $\mathbb{F}_2[x,y]/(y^2 + gy + h)$, for $g, h \in \mathbb{F}_2[x]$ -- in particular, the question of (non)triviality of such unit groups. Up to automorphisms of $\mathbb{F}_2[x,y]$ we classify such…

We give a geometric perspective on the algebra of Drinfeld modular forms for congruence subgroups $\Gamma\leq \GL_2(\bbF_q[T]).$ In particular, we describe an isomorphism between the section ring of a line bundle on the stacky modular curve…

Let $X$ be a K3 surface, and $H$ its primitive polarization of the degree $H^2=2rs$, $r,s\ge 1$. The moduli space of sheaves over $X$ with the isotropic Mukai vector $(r,H,s)$ is again a K3 surface, $Y$. In math.AG/0206158, math.AG/0304415…

The rational cohomology ring of A_3, the moduli space of abelian 3-folds is computed. This is isomorphic to the the rational cohomology ring of the group Sp_3(Z) of 6x6 integral symplectic matrices. The main ingredients in the computation…

Let $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $S$ be the closed surface of genus $nk$. A copy of the braid group on $2k+2$ strands modulo its center is found inside $\mathrm{Mod}(S)$, provided $n\geq 3$. In particular, for $k=1$ the class of the…
