We treat the problem of completing the moduli space for roots of line bundles on curves. Special attention is devoted to higher spin curves within the universal Picard scheme. Two new different constructions, both using line bundles on…

This article treats the Picard group of the moduli (stack) of r-spin curves and its compactification. Generalized spin curves, or r-spin curves are a natural generalization of 2-spin curves (algebraic curves with a theta-characteristic),…

We speculate about an algebro-geometric proof of Harer's theorem on the rational Picard group of the moduli space of smooth complex curves. In particular, we refine the approach of Diaz and Edidin involving the Hurwitz space which…

Let G be an affine reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k. We determine the Picard group of the moduli stacks of principal G-bundles on any smooth projective curve over k.

Given a connected reductive algebraic group G, we investigate the Picard group of the moduli stack of principal G-bundles over an arbitrary family of smooth curves.

In this paper, we obtain explicit expressions for Pandharipande-Pixton-Zvonkine relations in the second rational cohomology of $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ and comparing the result with Arbarello-Cornalba's theorem we prove Pixton's…

In the 80's M. Cornalba and J. Harris discovered a relation among the Hodge class and the boundary classes in the Picard group with rational coefficients of the moduli space of stable, hyperelliptic curves. They proved the relation by…

We determined the Picard group of the moduli of rank two stable sheaves on an arbitrary algebraic surface up to finite index

Here we focus on the geometry of $\pdgbar$, the compactification of the universal Picard variety constructed by L. Caporaso. In particular, we show that the moduli space of spin curves constructed by M. Cornalba naturally injects into…

We construct the moduli stack of properly balanced vector bundles on semistable curves and we determine explicitly its Picard group. As a consequence, we obtain an explicit description of the Picard groups of the universal moduli stack of…

The global geometry of the moduli spaces of higher spin curves and their birational classification is largely unknown for g >= 2 and r > 2. Using quite related geometric constructions, we almost complete the picture of the known results in…

We determine the rational class and Picard groups of the moduli space of stable logarithmic maps in genus zero, with target projective space relative a hyperplane. For the class group we exhibit an explicit basis consisting of boundary…

We prove the existence of fine moduli spaces of simple coherent sheaves on families of irreducible curves. Our proof is based on the existence of a universal upper bound of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of such sheaves, which we…

Let $X$ be a smooth, complete and connected curve and $G$ be a simple and simply connected algebraic group over $\comp$. We calculate the Picard group of the moduli stack of quasi-parabolic $G$-bundles and identify the spaces of sections of…

In this paper, we regard the smooth quadric threefold $Q_{3}$ as Lagrangian Grassmannian and search for fixed rational curves of low degree in $Q_{3}$ with respect to a torus action, which is the maximal subgroup of the special linear group…

Motivated by asymptotic phenomena of moduli spaces of higher rank stable sheaves on algebraic surfaces, we study the Picard number of the moduli space of one-dimensional stable sheaves supported in a sufficiently positive divisor class on a…

Let $X$ be any smooth simply connected projective surface. We consider some moduli space of pure sheaves of dimension one on $X$, i.e. $\mhu$ with $u=(0,L,\chi(u)=0)$ and $L$ an effective line bundle on $X$, together with a series of…

In this paper we give an exposition of Dennis Johnson's work on the first homology of the Torelli groups and show how it can be applied, alone and in concert with Saito's theory of Hodge modules, to study the geometry of moduli spaces of…

We determine the rational divisor class group of the moduli spaces of smooth pointed hyperelliptic curves and of their Deligne-Mumford compactification, over the field of complex numbers.

We study the Picard groups of moduli spaces of smooth complex projective curves that have a group of automorphisms with a prescribed topological action. One of our main tools is the theory of symmetric mapping class groups. In the first…
