Stratifications and iterative differential equations are analogues in positive characteristic of complex linear differential equations. There are few explicit examples of stratifications. The main goal of this paper is to construct…
We determine explicit birational models over Q for the modular surfaces parametrising pairs of N-congruent elliptic curves in all cases where this surface is an elliptic surface. In each case we also determine the rank of the Mordell-Weil…
We compute the Picard group of the moduli stack of elliptic curves and its canonical compactification over general base schemes.
We compute various types of iterated integrals of Eisenstein-Kronecker forms that are constructed from the Kronecker theta function. Furthermore, we relate the generating series of Gromov-Witten invariants of elliptic curves to these…
In generalized complex geometry, we revisit linear subspaces and submanifolds that have an induced generalized complex structure. We give an expression of the induced structure that allows us to deduce a smoothness criteria, we dualize the…
These informal notes are an expanded version of lectures on the moduli space of elliptic curves given at Zhejiang University in July, 2008. Their goal is to introduce and motivate basic concepts and constructions (such as orbifolds and…
These are the lecture notes from my portion of a mini-course for the summer school "Building Bridges 3" that was held in Sarajevo during July 2016. My lectures covered the Katz definition of modular forms, a family of forms defined from…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this paper we study two certain modular curves which parameterize families of elliptic curves which are directly (resp. reverse) 6-congruent to $E$ together with the explicit…
We study compactifications of the moduli space of a plane cubic curve marked by \(n\) labeled points up to projective equivalence via Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). Specifically, we provide a complete description of the GIT walls and…

This paper studies linear generalised complex structures over vector bundles, as a generalised geometry version of holomorphic vector bundles. In an adapted linear splitting, a linear generalised complex structure on a vector bundle $E\to…
The space of smooth genus 0 curves in projective space has a natural smooth compactification: the moduli space of stable maps, which may be seen as the generalization of the classical space of complete conics. In arbitrary genus, no such…
Elliptic curves play a natural and important role in elliptic cohomology. In earlier work with I. Kriz, thes elliptic curves were interpreted physically in two ways: as corresponding to the intersection of M2 and M5 in the context of (the…
We compute equations for the families of elliptic curves 9-congruent to a given elliptic curve. We use these to find infinitely many non-trivial pairs of 9-congruent elliptic curves over Q, i.e. pairs of non-isogenous elliptic curves over Q…
Let $E:y^2=(x-e_1)(x-e_2)(x-e_3)$ be a nonconstant elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$, where $e_j\in \mathbb{Z}[t]$. We describe a method for finding a specialization $t\mapsto t_0\in\mathbb{Q}$ such that the specialization homomorphism is…
We construct a smooth algebraic stack of tuples consisting of genus two nodal curves, simple effective divisors away from the nodes, and twisted fields. It provides a desingularization of the moduli of genus two stable maps to projective…
In this survey article, we summarise the known results towards the conjecture: elliptic curves over totally real number fields are modular. For understanding these recent results in the literature, we present some necessary background along…
Exploiting the affinity between stable generalized complex structures and symplectic structures, we explain how certain constructions coming from symplectic geometry can be performed in the generalized complex setting. We introduce…
We prove that all elliptic curves defined over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of a real quadratic field are modular under the assumption that the algebraic part of the central value of a twisted $L$-function is a $p$-adic unit. Our…
This paper deals with generalized elliptic integrals and generalized modular functions. Several new inequalities are given for these and related functions.
