The theory of $\Theta$-stratifications generalizes a classical stratification of the moduli of vector bundles on a smooth curve, the Harder-Narasimhan-Shatz stratification, to any moduli problem that can be represented by an algebraic…

Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible complex algebraic variety of dimension $n$ and $L$ a very ample line bundle on $X$. Given a toric degeneration of $(X,L)$ satisfying some natural technical hypotheses, we construct a deformation $\{J_s\}$ of…

We introduce an generalization of the theta divisor to the theory of holomorphic triples on a smooth projective curve $X$. We show that a given triple $T=(E_1 \to E_0)$ is $\alpha$-semistable iff there exists an orthogonal tripe $S=(F_1 \to…

Using tropical geometry we propose a mirror construction for monomial degenerations of Calabi-Yau varieties in toric Fano varieties. The construction reproduces the mirror constructions by Batyrev for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and by Batyrev…

There are two canonical projective structures on any compact Riemann surface of genus at least two: one coming from the uniformization theorem, and the other from Hodge theory. They produce two (different) families of projective structures…

We prove that a 1-dimnl family of abelian varieties with an ample sheaf defining principal polarization can be canonically compactified (after a finite base change) to a projective family with an ample sheaf. We show that the central fiber…

We obtain results that relate Donaldson-Futaki type invariants (that is, the numerical invariants used to define K-stability for general polarised manifolds) for a toric polarised manifold and for a compactification of its mirror…

We give a canonical basis of theta functions for the Cox ring of two dimensional Looijenga pairs with affine interior, with structure constants naive counts of k-analytic disks in the total space of the universal deformation of the mirror…

The main result of this note is an effective uniform bound for the number of deformation types of certain nonisotrivial families of canonically polarized manifolds. It extends the author's earlier such bound for the classical Shafarevich…

We establish a relationship between mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces and Arnold's strange duality for K3 surfaces. We compute various examples of mirror families. Among them the mirror moduli family for the moduli space of degree 2n…

Let $k$ be a commutative ring, $A$ a commutative $k$-algebra and $D$ the filtered ring of $k$-linear differential operators of $A$. We prove that: (1) The graded ring $\gr D$ admits a canonical embedding $\theta$ into the graded dual of the…

This article is based on lecture notes prepared for the August 2006 Cologne Summer School. The first part contains background material and references for beginners. The second (and main) part is a survey of the current status in the theory…

For each Fano threefold, we construct a family of Landau-Ginzburg models which satisfy many expectations coming from different aspects of mirror symmetry; they are log Calabi-Yau varieties with proper potential maps; they admit open…

We show that Martin Olsson's compactification of moduli space of polarized abelian varieties in \cite{ols08} can be interpreted in terms of KSBA stable pairs. We find that there is a canonical set of divisors $S(K_2)$ associated with each…

We study genus zero wall-crossing for a family of moduli spaces introduced recently by Fan-Farvis-Ruan. The family has a wall and chamber structure relative to a positive rational parameter. For a Fermat quasi-homogeneous polynomial W (not…

Integrals of characteristic classes of tautological sheaves on the Hilbert scheme of points on a surface frequently arise in enumerative problems. We use the K-theoretic Donaldson-Thomas theory of certain toric Calabi-Yau threefolds to…

We give a complete theta expression of a pair of Hermitian modular forms as an inverse period mapping of lattice polarized $K3$ surfaces. Our result gives a non-trivial relation among moduli of $K3$ surfaces, theta functions and the finite…

We consider families ${\cal F}(\Delta)$ consisting of complex $(n-1)$-dimensional projective algebraic compactifications of $\Delta$-regular affine hypersurfaces $Z_f$ defined by Laurent polynomials $f$ with a fixed $n$-dimensional Newton…

We prove a lower bound on the Calabi functional for degenerations of polarized varieties, involving the difference of CM degrees between generically isomorphic families. This may be viewed as a discretely valued version of Donaldson's lower…
