We introduce the notion of Atiyah class of a generalized holomorphic vector bundle, which captures the obstruction to the existence of generalized holomorphic connections on the bundle. As in the classical holomorphic case, this Atiyah…

This work seeks to advance the understanding of the smooth structure of the moduli space of self-dual contact instantons (SDCI) on Sasakian 7-manifolds M. A neighborhood of a smooth point of M is locally modeled on the first cohomological…

G.W. Mackey's celebrated obstruction theory for projective representations of locally compact groups was remarkably generalized by J. M. G. Fell and R. S. Doran to the wide area of saturated Banach *-algebraic bundles. Analogous obstruction…

These are notes on the theory of super Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces, aiming to collect results that are useful for a better understanding of superstring perturbation theory in the RNS formalism.

We construct moduli spaces of complex affine and dilation surfaces. Using ideas of Veech, we show that the the moduli space of affine surfaces with fixed genus and with cone points of fixed complex order is a holomorphic affine bundle over…

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…

We give an explicit quotient construction of the supermoduli space $\mathfrak{M}_{0, n_R}$ of genus zero super Riemann surfaces with $n_R \ge 4$ Ramond punctures and prove it is a Deligne-Mumford superstack. We also make an explicit…

The paper is devoted to the study of the orientability of the moduli spaces of real pseudoholomorphic curves in real symplectic manifolds. We begin by extending the results we obtained in \cite{article1}. Namely, we consider a complex…

A holomorphic triple over a compact Riemann surface consists of two holomorphic vector bundles and a holomorphic map between them. After fixing the topological types of the bundles and a real parameter, there exist moduli spaces of stable…

The main result of this paper is the construction of a family of superintegrable Hamiltonian systems on moduli spaces of flat connections on a principle $G$-bundle on a surface. The moduli space is a Poisson variety with Atiyah-Bott Poisson…

In this article we introduce the notion of a 'good model' in order to study the higher obstructions of complex supermanifolds. We identify necessary and sufficient conditions for such models to exist. Illustrations over Riemann surfaces are…

We investigate the moduli spaces of one- and two-dimensional sheaves on projective K3 and abelian surfaces that are semistable with respect to a nongeneral ample divisor with regard to the symplectic resolvability. We can exclude the…

We construct a smooth Deligne-Mumford compactification for the moduli space of curves with an m-tuple of spin structures using line bundles on quasi-stable curves as limiting objects, as opposed to line bundles on stacky curves. For all m,…

Supersymmetric curves are the analogue of Riemann surfaces in super geometry. We establish some foundational results about complex Deligne-Mumford superstacks, and we then prove that the moduli superstack of supersymmetric curves is a…

The purpose of this note is to announce our proof of the Atiyah-Jones conjecture concerning the topology of the moduli spaces of based SU(2)-instantons over S^4. Full details and proofs appear in our paper [BHMM1].

We extend our previous analysis of Riemannian four-manifolds M admitting rigid supersymmetry to N=1 theories that do not possess a U(1)_R symmetry. With one exception, we find that M must be a Hermitian manifold. However, the presence of…

We consider all complex projective manifolds X that satisfy at least one of the following three conditions: 1. There exists a pair $(C ,\varphi)$, where $C$ is a compact connected Riemann surface and $\varphi : C\to X$ a holomorphic map,…

Mirror symmetry suggests that on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold moduli spaces of stable bundles, especially those with degree zero and indivisible Chern class, might be smooth (i.e. unobstructed, though perhaps of too high a dimension). This is…

We give a universal approach to the deformation-obstruction theory of objects of the derived category of coherent sheaves over a smooth projective family. We recover and generalise the obstruction class of Lowen and Lieblich, and prove that…

Any supermanifold diffeomorphic to one whose structure sheaf is the sheaf of sections of a~vector bundle over the underlying manifold is called split. Gaw\c{e}dzki (1977) and Batchelor (1979) were the first to prove that any smooth…
