We show that a toroidal morphism can be reduced to a weakly semistable one in a universal way if we allow families to be modified to Deligne-Mumford stacks instead of schemes.

The main goal of the present paper is two-fold. First we extend the theory of toroidal embeddings introduced by Kempf, Knudsen, Mumford and Saint-Donat to the class of toroidal varieties with stratifications (which is the main body of the…

We give a new description of the data needed to specify a morphism from a scheme to a toric Deligne-Mumford stack. The description is given in terms of a collection of line bundles and sections which satisfy certain conditions. As…

We generalize a construction of Barthel-Brasselet-Fieseler-Gabber-Kaup in the setting of complex varieties to the setting of finite type, complex algebraic stacks. Given two such stacks $\mathcal{X},\mathcal{Y}$ with affine stabilizers, and…

Suppose that $\Phi:X\to Y$ is a morphism from a 3 fold to a surface (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero). We prove that there exist sequences of blowups of nonsingular subvarieties $X_1\to X$ and $Y_1\to Y$ such that…

We compute the stringy chow ring of a general Deligne-Mumford stack of the form [X/G] for a smooth variety X and diagonalizable group scheme G, working over a base field that is not necessarily algebraically closed. We then specialize to…

We prove that a birational morphism of projective 3-folds, over a field of characteristic zero, can be made toroidal by performing a sequence of blow ups of points and nonsingular curves above the domain and target.

We prove that any hyperbolic end with particles (cone singularities along infinite curves of angles less than $\pi$) admits a unique foliation by constant Gauss curvature surfaces. Using a form of duality between hyperbolic ends with…

We study the cup product on the Hochschild cohomology of the stack quotient [X/G] of a smooth quasi-projective variety X by a finite group G. More specifically, we construct a G-equivariant sheaf of graded algebras on X whose G-invariant…

Given a split $\mathbb{P}$-functor $F:\mathcal{D}^b(X) \to \mathcal{D}^b(Y)$ between smooth projective varieties, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of the Hochschild cohomology of $X$, for it to become spherical on…

Let $X$ be a (-1)-shifted symplectic derived Deligne--Mumford stack. In this paper we introduce the Darboux stack of $X$, parametrizing local presentations of $X$ as a derived critical locus of a function $f$ on a smooth formal scheme $U$.…

Generalizing toric varieties, we introduce toric Deligne-Mumford stacks which correspond to combinatorial data. The main result in this paper is an explicit calculation of the orbifold Chow ring of a toric Deligne-Mumford stack. As an…

We establish a criterion for determining when a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack is a weighted blow-up. More precisely, given a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack $\mathcal{X}$ and a Cartier divisor $\mathcal{E} \subset \mathcal{X}$ such that (1)…

Let $X$ be a fs logarithmic scheme that is generically logarithmically smooth, and that admits a strict closed embedding into a logarithmically smooth scheme $Y$ over a field $\kk$ of characteristic zero. We construct a simple and fast…

We study varieties with a finitely generated Cox ring. In a first part, we generalize a combinatorial approach developed in earlier work for varieties with a torsion free divisor class group to the case of torsion. Then we turn to…

Building on the work of the fourth author in math.AG/9904074, we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field…

We study the Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}(S,\underline{p})$ of hyperbolic cone-surfaces of fixed topological type with marked cone singularities. Fix a combinatorial triangulation $G$, and let $\mathcal{T}(G)\subset…

We provide a stacky fan description of the total space of certain split vector bundles, as well as their projectivization, over toric Deligne-Mumford stacks. We then specialize to the case of Hirzebruch orbifold $\mathcal{H}_{r}^{ab}$…

We show that if $\phi : X \to X$ is an automorphism of a smooth projective variety and $D \subset X$ is an irreducible divisor for which the set of $d$ in $D$ with $\phi^n(d)$ in $D$ for some nonzero $n$ is not Zariski dense, then $(X,…

To any finite local embedding of Deligne--Mumford stacks $g: Y\to X$ we associate an \'etale, universally closed morphism $F_{Y/X}\to X$ such that for the complement $Y^2_X$ of the image of the diagonal $Y \to Y\times_XY$, the stack…
