Let $Y$ be a smooth, projective curve of genus $g\geq 1$ over the complex numbers. Let $H^0_{d,A}(Y)$ be the Hurwitz space which parametrizes coverings $p:X \to Y$ of degree $d$, simply branched in $n=2e$ points, with monodromy group equal…

Consider the 1-dimensional Hurwitz space parameterizing covers of P^1 branched at four points. We study its intersection with divisor classes on the moduli space of curves. As an application, we calculate the slope of the Teichmuller curve…

In this short note we prove the unirationality of Hurwitz spaces of 6-gonal curves of genus $g$ with $5\leq g\leq 28$ or $g=30,31,33,35,36,40,45$. Key ingredient is a liaison construction in $\PP^1 \times \PP^2$. By semicontinuity, the…

Motivated by the problem of finding algebraic constructions of finite coverings in commutative algebra, the Steinitz realization problem in number theory, and the study of Hurwitz spaces in algebraic geometry, we investigate the vector…

Inside the projectivized $k$-th Hodge bundle, we construct a collection of divisors obtained by imposing vanishing at a Brill-Noether special point. We compute the classes of the closures of such divisors in two ways, using incidence…

Generalizing work done by Miyaoka and others in the case of divisors and of curves, we compute the cones of effective cycles of arbitrary dimension on a projective bundle over a complex projective curve in terms of the numerical data in an…

Fix a smooth projetive curve $\mathcal {C}$ of genus $g\geq 2$ and a line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ on $\mathcal{C}$ of degree $d$. Let $M:= \mathcal{SU}_{\mathcal{C}}(r, \mathcal{L})$ be the moduli space of stable vector bundles on…

We produce an example of a rigid, but not infinitesimally rigid smooth compact complex surface with ample canonical bundle using results about arrangements of lines inspired by work of Hirzebruch, Kapovich and Millson, Manetti and Vakil.

We study "pure-cycle" Hurwitz spaces, parametrizing covers of the projective line having only one ramified point over each branch point. We start with the case of genus-0 covers, using a combination of limit linear series theory and group…

We study the complex-analytic geometry of semi-positive holomorphic line bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds. In one of our main results, for a $\mathbb{Q}$-effective line bundle satisfying a natural torsion-type assumption, we show the…

In this paper we consider a canonical compactification of Hitchin's moduli space of stable Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree over a Riemann surface, producing a projective variety by gluing in a divisor at infinity. We give…

We prove a homological characterization of $Q$-manifolds bundles over $C$-spaces. This provides a partial answer to Question QM22 from \cite{w}.

We prove an effective upper bound on the number of effective sections of a hermitian line bundle over an arithmetic surface. It is an effective version of the arithmetic Hilbert--Samuel formula in the nef case. As a consequence, we obtain…

Affine varieties among all algebraic varieties have simple structures. For example, an affine variety does not contain any complete algebraic curve. In this paper we study affine related properties of strata of $k$-differentials on smooth…

We determine the effective cone of the Quot scheme parametrizing all rank r, degree d quotient sheaves of the trivial bundle of rank n on P^1. More specifically, we explicitly construct two effective divisors which span the effective cone,…
