We prove that any abelian surface defined over $\Q$ of $GL_2$-type having quaternionic multiplication and good reduction at 3 is modular. We generalize the result to higher dimensional abelian varieties with ``sufficiently many…

We formulate a question regarding uniform versions of "large Galois image properties" for modular abelian varieties of higher dimension, generalizing the well-known case of elliptic curves. We then answer our question affirmatively in the…

In this paper we study the sections of the canonical line bundle on the moduli space of parabolic semistable vector bundles with trivial determinant and fixed parabolic structure of type $\underline{\lambda}=(\lambda_1,..., \lambda_s)$…

Studying degenerations of moduli spaces of semistable principal bundles on smooth curves leads to the problem of constructing and studying moduli spaces on singular curves. In this note, we will see that the moduli spaces of…

We determine the cone of nef divisors on the Voronoi compactification A_g^* of the moduli space A_g of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension g for genus g=2,3. As a corollary we obtain that the spaces A_g^*(n) with level-n…

The moduli space of abelian surfaces with polarisation of type (1,t) and a bilevel structure is of general type if t is odd and at least 17.

Following Deligne and Mumford we construct a coarse moduli space of smooth curves with non-abelian level structure, involving higher order commutators. We prove that its Deligne-Mumford compactification is smooth over an open part of…

The degree of irrationality of a projective variety $X$ is defined to be the smallest degree rational dominant map to a projective space of the same dimension. For abelian surfaces, Yoshihara computed this invariant in specific cases, while…

Let $O_F$ be the ring of integers of a totally real field $F$ of degree $g$. We study the reduction of the moduli space of separably polarized abelian $O_F$-varieties of dimension $g$ modulo $p$ for a fixed prime $p$. The invariants and…

In this paper, we study rank 2 (quasi) parabolic bundles over the Riemann sphere with an effective divisor and these moduli spaces. First we consider a criterium when a parabolic bundle admits a unramified irregular singular parabolic…

It has long been known that to a complex cubic surface or threefold one can canonically associate a principally polarized abelian variety. We give a construction which works for cubics over an arithmetic base. This answers, away from the…

We study cyclic covering morphisms from $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ to moduli spaces of unpointed stable curves of positive genus or compactified moduli spaces of principally polarized abelian varieties. Our main application is a construction of new…

Consider a family f:A --> U of g-dimensional abelian varieties over a quasiprojective manifold U. Suppose that the induced map from U to the moduli scheme of polarized abelian varieties is generically finite and that there is a projective…

We determine the base space of the Kuranishi family of some complete intersection in the product of an abelian variety and a projective space. As a consequence we obtain new examples of obstructed irregular surfaces with ample canonical…

Let S be a minimal complex surface of general type with irregularity q>=2 and let C be an irreducible curve of geometric genus g contained in S. Assume that C is "Albanese defective", i.e., that the image of C via the Albanese map does not…

We study the Albanese image of a compact K\"ahler manifold whose geometric genus is one. We prove that if the Albanese map is not surjective, then the manifold maps surjectively onto an ample divisor in some abelian variety, and in many…

The strata of the moduli spaces of Abelian differentials are non-homogenous spaces carrying natural bi-algebraic structures. Partly inspired by the case of homogenous spaces carrying bi-algebraic structures (such as torii, Abelian varieties…

There is a canonical identification, due to the author, of a convex real projective structure on an orientable surface of genus g and a pair consisting of a conformal structure together with a holomorphic cubic differential on the surface.…

The paper is devoted to highlighting several novel aspects of the moduli space of curves of genus 13, the first genus g where phenomena related to K3 surfaces no longer govern the birational geometry of M_g. We compute the class of the…

The Jacobian varieties of smooth curves fit together to form a family, the universal Jacobian, over the moduli space of smooth marked curves, and the theta divisors of these curves form a divisor in the universal Jacobian. In this paper we…
