In this survey we give a brief introduction to, and review the progress made in the last decade in understanding the geometry of the moduli spaces A_g of principally polarized abelian varieties and its compactifications. Topics surveyed…

We consider minimal compactifications of the complex affine plane. Minimal compactifications of the affine plane with at most log canonical singularities are classified. Moreover, every minimal compactification of the affine plane with at…

By a recent result of Viehweg, projective manifolds with ample canonical class have a coarse moduli space, which is a union of quasiprojective varieties. In this paper, we prove that there are manifolds with ample canonical class that lie…

We determine the maximal dimension of compact subvarieties of $\mathcal{A}_g$, the moduli space of complex principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g$, and the maximal dimension of a compact subvariety through a very general…

Let $\mathcal{A}_g$ denote the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g \ge 3.$ In this paper we prove the connectedness of the singular sublocus of $\mathcal{A}_g$ consisting of those abelian varieties which…

We prove the Ax-Lindemann theorem for the coarse moduli space $\mathcal{A}_{g}$ of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g\ge 1$, and affirm the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture unconditionally for $\mathcal{A}_{g}$ for $g\le 6$.

We survey old and new results about the cohomology of the moduli space $A_g$ of principally polarized abelian varieties of genus $g$ and its compactifications. The main emphasis lies on the computation of the cohomology for small genus and…

Let $\mathcal{A}_g$ be the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties. We study the problem of counting the number of principal polarizations modulo the natural action of the automorphism group of the abelian variety on a very…

Let $\mathcal{A}_g$ be the moduli space over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of $g$-dimensional principally polarised abelian varieties, where $p$ is a prime. We show that if $g$ is even and $p\geq 5$, then every geometric generic member in the…

We compute the top-weight rational cohomology of $A_g$ for $g=5$, $6$, and $7$, and we give some vanishing results for the top-weight rational cohomology of $A_8, A_9,$ and $ A_{10}$. When $g=5$ and $g=7$, we exhibit nonzero cohomology…

We show that mixed-characteristic and equi-characteristic small deformations of 3-dimensional canonical (resp. terminal) singularities with perfect residue field of characteristic $p>5$ are canonical (resp. terminal). We discuss…

Let L --> X be a complex line bundle over a compact connected Riemann surface. We consider the abelian vortex equations on L when the metric on the surface has finitely many point degeneracies or conical singularities and the line bundle…

Let $G$ be a complex linear algebraic group which is simple of adjoint type. Let $\overline G$ be the wonderful compactification of $G$. We prove that the tangent bundle of $\overline G$ is stable with respect to every polarization on…

For a stable curve of genus $g\geq 2$ and simple Lie algebra of type A or C, we show that the conformal blocks algebra $\mathcal{A}$ on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_g$ is finitely generated and establish an explicit connection to Schmitt and…

In a previous paper we showed that for every polarization on an abelian variety there is a dual polarization on the dual abelian variety. In this note we extend this notion of duality to families of polarized abelian varieties. As a main…

We shall investigate index 1 covers of 2-dimensional log terminal singularities. The main result is that the index 1 cover is canonical if the characteristic of the base field is different from 2 or 3. We also give some counterexamples in…

We compactify the classical moduli variety $A_g$ of principally polarized abelian varieties of complex dimension $g$ by attaching the moduli of flat tori of real dimensions at most $g$ in an explicit manner. Equivalently, we explicitly…

We prove that the affine cone over a general primitively polarised K3 surface of genus g is smoothable if and only if g\le 10 or g=12. We also give several examples of singularities with special behaviour, such as surfaces whose affine cone…

In this paper the authors consider a certain toroidal compactification of the moduli space of degenerations of (1,p)-polarized abelian surfaces with (canonical) level structure. Using Hodge theory we give a proof that a degenerate abelian…

We prove Oort's conjecture that generically on the supersingular locus of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties of genus g and in characteristic p, the automorphism group of the universal principally polarized abelian…
