For complex connected, reductive, affine, algebraic groups $G$, we give a Lie-theoretic characterization of the semistability of principal $G$-co-Higgs bundles on the complex projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$ in terms of the simple roots of a…

The spaces of point configurations on the projective line up to the action of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb K)$ and its maximal torus are canonically compactified by the Grothdieck-Knudsen and Losev-Manin moduli spaces $\overline M_{0,n}$ and…

In this note, we prove that for any finite dimensional vector space $V$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, and for any finite subgroup $G$ of $GL(V)$ which is either solvable or is generated by pseudo reflections such that the $|G|$ is…

We construct a new compactification of the moduli space H_g of smooth hyperelliptic curves of genus g. We compare our compactification with other well-known remarkable compactifications of H_g .

Let G be a complex semi-simple group, X a Riemann surface, M_G the moduli space of principal G-bundles on X. When G is simply-connected, there exists a closed formula expressing the dimension of the space H^0(M_G,L) for any line bundle L on…

In this paper, we study all ways of constructing modular compactifications of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ of $n$-pointed smooth algebraic curves of genus $g$ by allowing markings to collide. We find that for any such…

When considered as a Deligne-Lusztig variety, the Drinfeld half space $\Omega_V$ over a finite field $k$ has a compactification whose boundary divisor is normal crossing and which can be obtained by successively blowing-up projective space…

For a complex reductive group G acting linearly on a complex affine space V with respect to a character, we show two stratifications of V associated to this action (and a choice of invariant inner product on the Lie algebra of the maximal…

Projective structures on topological surfaces support the structure of 2d CFTs with a degree of technical simplification. We propose a complex analytic space $\mathcal{P}_g$ biholomorphic to $T^*_{(1,0)} \mathcal{M}_g$ as a candidate moduli…

It is known that some GIT compactifications associated to moduli spaces of either points in the projective line or cubic surfaces are isomorphic to Baily-Borel compactifications of appropriate ball quotients. In this paper, we show that…

We construct a good compactification of the variety of irreducible projective plane curves of degree n with d nodes and no other singularities.

If G is a complex semisimple algebraic group, we characterize the normality and the smoothness of its simple linear compactifications, namely those equivariant GxG-compactifications which possess a unique closed orbit and which arise in a…

Gallardo and Routis constructed compactifications of the moduli space of $n$ labeled points in $\mathbb{P}^d$ by assigning weights to points, generalizing Hassett's weighted compactifications of $M_{0,n}$ to higher-dimensional projective…

For a smooth projective unitary representation of a locally convex Lie group G, the projective space of smooth vectors is a locally convex Kaehler manifold. We show that the action of G on this space is weakly Hamiltonian, and lifts to a…

In the simplest compactification, we discuss the intermediate unification in M-theory on $S^1/Z_2$, and point out that we can push the eleven dimension Planck scale to the TeV range if the gauge coupling in the hidden sector is super weak,…

For $r \geq 1$ and $\mathbf{n} \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq0}^r\setminus\{\mathbf{0}\}$, we construct a proper complex variety $\overline{2M}_{\mathbf{n}}$. $\overline{2M}_{\mathbf{n}}$ is locally toric, and it is equipped with a forgetful map…

In this paper, we shall introduce two monoids. One is called a PM-monoid which contains the symmetric group, the other is called a braid PM-monoid which contains the braid group. We shall develop the theory of PM-monoids and that of braid…

We provide a natural smooth projective compactification of the space of algebraic maps from the projective line to the projective space of dimension n by adding a divisor with simple normal crossings.

This is a little investigation into the classification of complexes of direct sums of line bundles on projective spaces. We consider complexes on projective k-space Pk : O_Pk(-1)^a --> O_Pk^b --> O_Pk(1)^c, with the first map injective and…

We study the moduli space of triples $(C, L_1, L_2)$ consisting of quartic curves $C$ and lines $L_1$ and $L_2$. Specifically, we construct and compactify the moduli space in two ways: via geometric invariant theory (GIT) and by using the…
