In this paper we answer a question posed by Horikawa in 1978, who showed that the above moduli space is composed of 11 locally closed strata building up 4 irreducible components and having at most 3 connected components. We prove that the…
After introducing some motivations for this survey, we describe a formalism to parametrize a wide class of algebraic structures occurring naturally in various problems of topology, geometry and mathematical physics. This allows us to define…

We construct the moduli space of r-jets at a point of Riemannian metrics on a smooth manifold. The construction is closely related to the problem of classification of jet metrics via differential invariants. The moduli space is proved to be…
We continue the analysis of the geometry of generic Minkowski $\mathcal{N} = 1$, $D = 4$ flux compactifications in M-theory using exceptional generalised geometry, including the calculation of the infinitesimal moduli spaces. The…
Recently Andrei Teleman considered instanton moduli spaces over negative definite four-manifolds $X$ with $b_2(X) \geq 1$. If $b_2(X)$ is divisible by four and $b_1(X) =1$ a gauge-theoretic invariant can be defined; it is a count of flat…
The moduli space ${\rm M}_{d}$, of complex rational maps of degree $d \geq 2$, is a connected complex orbifold which carries a natural real structure, coming from usual complex conjugation. Its real points are the classes of rational maps…
We study the moduli space of four dimensional ordinary Lie algebras, and their versal deformations. Their classification is well known; our focus in this paper is on the deformations, which yield a picture of how the moduli space is…
The moduli space of regular stable maps with values in a complex manifold admits naturally the structure of a complex orbifold. Our proof uses the methods of differential geometry rather than algebraic geometry. It is based on Hardy…
We give an informal survey, emphasizing examples and open problems, of two interconnected research programs in moduli of curves: the systematic classification of modular compactifications of $M_{g,n}$, and the study of Mori chamber…
The CR $\delta$-invariant for CR-submanifolds was introduced in a recent article [B. Y. Chen, An optimal inequality for CR-warped products in complex space forms involving CR $\delta$-invariant, Internat. J. Math. 23} (2012), no. 3, 1250045…
E. Cartan's method of moving frames is applied to 3-dimensional manifolds $M$ which are CR-embedded in 5-dimensional real hyperquadrics $Q$ in order to classify $M$ up to CR symmetries of $Q$ given by the action of one of the Lie groups…
Multi-scale differentials were constructed by M.~Bainbridge, D.~Chen, Q.~Gendron, S.~Grushevsky, and M.~M\"oller, from the viewpoint of flat and complex geometry, for the purpose of compactifying moduli spaces of curves together with a…
We study the moduli space of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations with $N$ spinors on a compact Riemann surface. These moduli spaces arise in a program to define a new enumerative invariant of 3-manifolds. They are also of independent…
We study moduli spaces of twisted maps to a smooth pair in arbitrary genus, and give geometric explanations for previously known comparisons between orbifold and logarithmic Gromov--Witten invariants. Namely, we study the space of twisted…

In this paper, we study the moduli space of all complex 5-dimensional Lie algebras, realizing it as a stratification by orbifolds, which are connected by jump deformations. The orbifolds are given by the action of finite groups on very…
The moduli dependence of $(2,2)$ superstring compactifications based on Calabi--Yau hypersurfaces in weighted projective space has so far only been investigated for Fermat-type polynomial constraints. These correspond to Landau-Ginzburg…
