We use the theory of twisted stable maps to Deligne-Mumford stacks to construct compactifications of the moduli space of pairs $(X \to C, S + F)$ where $X \to C$ is a fibered surface, $S$ is a sum of sections, $F$ is a sum of marked fibers,…
We consider moduli spaces of plane quartics marked with various structures such as Cayley octads, Aronhold heptads, Steiner complexes and G\"opel subsets and determine their cohomology. This answers a series of questions of Jesse Wolfson.…
Building on previous works by Bilu, Chambert-Loir and Loeser, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the moduli space of sections of a given family over a smooth projective curve, assuming that the generic fiber is an equivariant…
This is mostly* a non-technical exposition of the joint work arXiv:1212.0373 with Caporaso and Payne. Topics include: Moduli of Riemann surfaces / algebraic curves; Deligne-Mumford compactification; Dual graphs and the combinatorics of the…
First we solve the problem of finding minimal degree families on toric surfaces by reducing it to lattice geometry. Then we describe how to find minimal degree families on, more generally, rational complex projective surfaces.
We observe that general reducible curves in sufficiently positive linear systems on K3 surfaces are of a form that generalises Kodaira's classification of singular elliptic fibres and thus call them extended ADE curves. On such a curve $C$,…
The Hessian of a general cubic surface is a nodal quartic surface, hence its desingularisation is a K3 surface. We determine the transcendental lattice of the Hessian K3 surface for various cubic surfaces (with nodes and/or Eckardt points…
There exist natural generalizations of the real moduli space of Riemann spheres based on manipulations of Coxeter complexes. These novel spaces inherit a tiling by the graph-associahedra convex polytopes. We obtain explicit configuration…
The new compactification of moduli scheme of Gieseker-stable vector bundles with the given Hilbert polynomial on a smooth projective polarized surface (S;H), over the field k = \bar k of zero characteristic, is constructed in previous…
This note is devoted to the definition of moduli spaces of rational tropical curves with n marked points. We show that this space has a structure of a smooth tropical variety of dimension n-3. We define the Deligne-Mumford compactification…
We present a method for compactifying stacks of $\PGL_n$-torsors (Azumaya algebras) on algebraic spaces. In particular, when the ambient space is a smooth projective surface we use our methods to show that various moduli spaces are…
In this paper we describe a construction which produces classes in a compactification of the moduli space of curves. This construction extends a construction of Kontsevich which produces classes in the open moduli space from the initial…
Inspired by constructions over the complex numbers of Dolgachev and Alexeev-Engel, we define moduli stacks $\mathcal{M}_{(L,\mathcal{A})/\mathbb{Z}}$ of lattice-polarized K3 surfaces over arbitrary bases, paying particular attention to the…
Surfaces of amplitude 1 in ordinary projective space are of general type, but this need not be the case in weighted projective spaces. Indeed, there are 4 classes of quasi-smooth weighted hypersurfaces in $\mathbf{P}(1,2,a,b)$ of amplitude…
In this paper, we study the structure, deformations and the moduli spaces of complex projective surfaces admitting genus two fibrations over elliptic curves. We observe that, a surface admitting a smooth fibration as above is elliptic and…
We describe Baily-Borel, toroidal, and geometric -- using the KSBA stable pairs -- compactifications of some moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with a nonsymplectic automorphism of order $3$ and $4$ for which the fixed locus of the automorphism…
We introduce and study smooth compactifications of the moduli space of n labeled points with weights in projective space, which have normal crossings boundary and are defined as GIT quotients of the weighted Fulton-MacPherson…
We describe explicitly the geometric compactifications, obtained by adding slc surfaces $X$ with ample canonical class, for two connected components in the moduli space of surfaces of general type: Campedelli surfaces with $\pi_1(X)=\mathbb…
We consider the moduli space of log smooth pairs formed by a cubic surface and an anticanonical divisor. We describe all compactifications of this moduli space which are constructed using Geometric Invariant Theory and the anticanonical…
We describe a geometric, stable pair compactification of the moduli space of Enriques surfaces with a numerical polarization of degree 2, and identify it with a semitoroidal compactification of the period space.
