We study birational maps among 1) the moduli space of semistable torsion sheaves of Hilbert polynomial $4m+2$ on a smooth quadric surface, 2) the moduli space of semistable torsion sheaves of Hilbert polynomial $m^{2}+3m+2$ on…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $N$ an integer prime to $p$. We show that the operator $U_p$ on the space of cuspidal modular forms of level $pN$ and weight two is semi-simple. It follows from this that the Hecke algebra acting on the space…

Following Bayer and Macr\`{i}, we study the birational geometry of singular moduli spaces $M$ of sheaves on a K3 surface $X$ which admit symplectic resolutions. More precisely, we use the Bayer-Macr\`{i} map from the space of Bridgeland…

In this paper we find the number of homogeneous polynomials of degree d such that they vanish on cuspidal modular forms of even weight $m\geq 2$ that form a basis for $S_m(\Gamma_0(N))$. We use these cuspidal forms to embedd $X_0(N)$ to…

Let $R$ be a standard graded Noetherian algebra over an infinite field $K$ and $M$ a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-graded $R$-module. Then for any graded ideal $I\subseteq R_+$ of $R$, we show that there exist integers $e_1\geq e_2$ such…

Let $f:X\to X$ be a non-isomorphic (i.e., $\text{deg } f>1$) surjective endomorphism of a smooth projective threefold $X$. We prove that any birational minimal model program becomes $f$-equivariant after iteration, provided that $f$ is…

We investigate the birational geometry (in the sense of Mori's program) of the moduli space of rank 2 semistable parabolic vector bundles on a rational curve. We compute the effective cone of the moduli space and show that all birational…

Let A^2 be the affine plane over a field K of characteristic 0. Birational morphisms of A^2 are mappings A^2 \to A^2 given by polynomial mappings \phi of the polynomial algebra K[x,y] such that for the quotient fields, one has K(\phi(x),…

Let E be a rank two vector bundle on a scheme X. The following three structures are shown to be equivalent : a) A primitive quadratic map q: E --> L, with values in an invertible module L. b) A double covering f: Y --> X endowed with an…

We study the birational geometry of moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on the projective plane via Bridgeland stability conditions. We show that the entire MMP of their moduli spaces can be run via wall-crossing. Via a description of the…

We study the moduli surface for pairs of elliptic curves together with an isomorphism between their N-torsion groups. The Weil pairing gives a "determinant" map from this moduli surface to (Z/NZ)*; its fibers are the components of the…

In this paper, we prove that the group $\mathrm{Aut}_\mathbb{Q}(X)$ of numerically trivial automorphisms are uniformly bounded for smooth projective threefolds $X$ of general type which either satisfy $q(X)\geq 3$ or have a Gorenstein…

For every supersingular $K3$ surface $X$ in characteristic 2, there exists a homogeneous polynomial $G$ of degree 6 such that $X$ is birational to the purely inseparable double cover of a projective plane defined by $w^2=G$. We present an…

We use the description of the Picard modular surface for discriminant $-3$ as a moduli space of curves of genus $3$ to generate all vector-valued Picard modular forms from bi-covariants for the action of ${GL}_2$ on the space of pairs of…

We study both the "large" and "small" U-duality charge orbits of extremal black holes appearing in D = 5 and D = 4 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity theories with symmetric scalar manifolds. We exploit a formalism based on cubic Jordan algebras…

We classify projective plane nonsingular curves admitting a 3-term presentation; they exist in any degree, generally constitute 5 birational families and are defined over rational numbers. The Belyi functions on all these curves are…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective $n$-fold such that $q(X)=0$ and $L$ a globally generated, big line bundle on $X$ such that $h^0(K_X+(n-2)L) >0$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjoint systems $|K_X+kL|$ to be birational…

A simple proof of Ramanujan's formula for the Fourier transform of the square of the modulus of the Gamma function restricted to a vertical line in the right half-plane is given. The result is extended to vertical lines in the left…

In this paper, we introduce modular polynomials for the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(M)$ when $ X_0(M) $ has genus zero and therefore the polynomials are defined by a Hauptmodul of $ X_0(M) $. We show that the intersection number of two…

We consider spaces of modular forms attached to definite orthogonal groups of low even rank and nontrivial level, equipped with Hecke operators defined by Kneser neighbours. After reviewing algorithms to compute with these spaces, we…
