We construct moduli spaces of representations of quivers over arbitrary schemes and show how moduli spaces of pointed curves of genus zero like the Grothendieck-Knudsen moduli spaces $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ and the Losev-Manin moduli spaces…

Abstract. In this article, we provide an algorithm to compute the number of moduli of a germ of curve which is an union of germs of smooth curves in the complex plane.

Assume you are given a finite configuration $\Gamma$ of disjoint rectifiable Jordan curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The Plateau-Douglas problem asks whether there exists a minimizer of area among all compact surfaces of genus at most $p$ which…

Let $C$ be a general canonical curve of genus $g$ defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. We prove that if $g \notin \{4,6\}$, then the normal bundle of $C$ is semistable. In particular, if $g \equiv 1$ or…

In the 80's M. Cornalba and J. Harris discovered a relation among the Hodge class and the boundary classes in the Picard group with rational coefficients of the moduli space of stable, hyperelliptic curves. They proved the relation by…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity and $C$ be an $R$-coalgebra. The ring $R$ is clean if every $ r\in R $ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent element of $R$. An $R$-module $M$ is clean if the endomorphism ring of $M$ over $R$ is…

We prove that for every integers $g, h\geq 2, n \geq 3$, for all but finitely many prime numbers $p$, for every field $k$ of characteristic $0$ or $p$, every separable family of smooth projective curves of genus $h$ over $\mathcal{A}_g(n)…

In 1883, Darboux gave a local classification of isothermic surfaces with one family of planar curvature lines using complex analytic methods. His choice of real reduction cannot contain tori. We classify isothermic tori with one family of…

We compute the topological monodromy of every family of complete intersection curves. Like in the case of plane curves previously treated by the second-named author, we find the answer is given by the $r$-spin mapping class group associated…

Over a family $\mathbb X$ of genus $g$ complete curves, which gives the degeneration of a smooth curve into one with nodal singularities, we build a moduli space which is the moduli space of ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb C)$ bundles over the generic…

We classify quadruples $(M,g,m,\tau)$ in which $(M,g)$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold of complex dimension $m>2$ with a nonconstant function $\tau$ on $M$ such that the conformally related metric $g/\tau^2$, defined wherever $\tau\ne 0$, is…

The Morse-Smale complex is an important tool for global topological analysis in various problems of computational geometry and topology. Algorithms for Morse-Smale complexes have been presented in case of piecewise linear manifolds.…

A theorem of Harald Bohr (1914) states that if f is a holomorphic map from the unit disc into itself, then the sum of absolute values of its Taylor expansion is less than 1 for |z|<1/3. The bound 1/3 is optimal. This result has been…

We describe the invariants of plane quartic curves -- nonhyperelliptic genus 3 curves in their canonical model -- as determined by Dixmier and Ohno, with application to the classification of curves with given structure. In particular, we…

In this paper we classify curves of genus two over a perfect field k of characteristic two. We find rational models of curves with a given arithmetic structure for the ramification divisor and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…

The study of evolutes of plane curves goes back at least to Huygens, and was continued and extended to space curves by Monge, Darboux, and others. Salmon studied projective curves and surfaces and their evolutes and gave many enumerative…

We construct the first non-trivial examples of complete families of non-degenerate smooth space curves, and show that the base of such a family cannot be a rational curve. Both results rely on the study of the strong semistability of…

Consider the moduli space M^0 of arrangements of n hyperplanes in general position in projective (r-1)-space. When r=2 the space has a compactification given by the moduli space of stable curves of genus 0 with n marked points. In higher…

Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface. Fix a positive integer r and two nonnegative integers d_p and d_z. Consider all pairs of the form (F, f), where F is a holomorphic vector bundle on X of rank r and degree d_z-d_p, and f :…

We define a proper moduli stack for degree $p$ covers $f:Y \to \cX$ where $\cX$ is a twisted stable curve in the sense of [5] and [4], and $Y$ is a stable curve which via $f$ is a torsor over $\cX$ under a finite flat group scheme $\cG \to…
