We give a proof of the Gromov compactness theorem using the language of stable curves (i.e. cusp-curve of Gromov, or stable maps of Kontsevich and Manin) in general setting: An almost complex structure on a target manifold is only…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective algebraic variety. Given a line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ over $X$ and an integer $r>1$ one defines the stack $\sqrt[r]{\mathcal{L}/X}$ of $r$-th roots of $\mathcal{L}$. Motivated by Gromov-Witten theoretic…

In this note, we show that the solution to the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface system in any codimension is unique in the space of distance-decreasing maps. This follows as a corollary of the following stability theorem: if a…

This paper contains the details and complete proofs of our earlier announcement in math.AG/9907004 . We construct a general semiregularity map for algebraic cycles as asked for by S. Bloch in 1972. The existence of such a semiregularity map…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let f:X-->S be a flat, projective morphism of k-schemes of finite type with integral geometric fibers. We prove existence of a projective relative moduli space for semistable…

Using log geometry, we study smoothability of genus zero twisted stable maps to stacky curves relative to a collection of marked points. One application is to smoothing semi-log canonical fibered surfaces with marked singular fibers.

Here I give a direct proof that smooth curves with distinct marked points are asymptotically Hilbert stable with respect to a wide range of parameter spaces and linearizations. This result can be used to construct the coarse moduli space of…

This paper analyzes the representation theoretic stability, in the sense of Thomas Church and Benson Farb, of the rank-selected homology of the Boolean lattice and the partition lattice, proving sharp uniform representation stability bounds…

The purpose of this paper is to explore the geometry and establish the slope stability of tautological vector bundles on Hilbert schemes of points on smooth surfaces. By establishing stability in general we complete a series of results of…

We study the moduli spaces which classify smooth surfaces along with a complex line bundle. There are homological stability and Madsen--Weiss type results for these spaces (mostly due to Cohen and Madsen), and we discuss the cohomological…

In [31,32,33] the Gauss-Bonnet formulas for coherent tangent bundles over compact oriented surfaces (without boundary) were proved. We establish the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for coherent tangent bundles over compact oriented surfaces with…

We introduce a new moduli stack $\mathscr{E}_{g,n}$ of ``equinormalized curves," closely related to the moduli space of all reduced, connected algebraic curves. We construct a stratification $\bigsqcup_\Gamma \mathscr{E}_\Gamma$ of…

The representability theorem for stacks, due to Artin in the underived setting and Lurie in the derived setting, gives conditions under which a stack is representable by an $n$-geometric stack. In recent work of Ben-Bassat, Kelly, and…

We prove a general criterion for an algebraic stack to admit a good moduli space. This result may be considered as a weak analog of the Keel-Mori theorem, which guarantees the existence of a coarse moduli space for a separated…

We will present proofs for two conjectures stated in arXiv:1808.08073. The first one is that for an arbitrary manifold $W$, the homotopy classes of proper maps $W\times\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^{k+n}$ stabilise as $n\to\infty$, and the…

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…

In this paper we give a construction of algebraic (Artin) stacks endowed with a modular map onto the moduli stack of n-pointed stable curves of genus g, for g greater than 2. These stacks are smooth, irreducible and have dimension 4g-3+n,…

In this note we prove that the Torelli, Prym and Spin-Torelli morphisms, as well as covering maps between moduli stacks of projective curves can not be deformed. The proofs use properties of the Fujita decomposition of the Hodge bundle of…

Given a maximal order $D$ of a central division algebra over a global function field $F$, we prove an explicit sufficient condition for moduli stacks of $D^\times$-shtukas to be proper over a finite field in terms of the local invariants of…

The primary goal of this paper is to find a homotopy theoretic approximation to moduli spaces of holomorphic maps Riemann surfaces into complex projective space. There is a similar treatment of a partial compactification of these moduli…
