We use function field analytic number theory to establish the irreducibility and dimension of the moduli space that parameterises morphisms of fixed degree from $\mathbb{P}^2$ to an arbitrary smooth hypersurface of sufficiently small…
The moduli space of degree $d$ morphisms on $\mathbb{P}^1$ has received much study. McMullen showed that, except for certain families of Latt\`es maps, there is a finite-to-one correspondence (over $\mathbb{C}$) between classes of morphisms…
Let ${\mathbb C}[x_1,\dots,x_n]_{d+1}$ be the vector space of homogeneous forms of degree $d+1$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$, with $n,d\ge 2$. In earlier articles by J. Alper, M. Eastwood and the author, we introduced a morphism, called $A$, that…
We study the locus of smooth hypersurfaces inside the Hilbert scheme of a smooth projective complex variety. In the spirit of scanning, we construct a map to a continuous section space of a projective bundle, and show that it induces an…
Let $d\ge 3$, $n\ge 2$. The object of our study is the morphism $\Phi$, introduced in earlier articles by J. Alper, M. Eastwood and the author, that assigns to every homogeneous form of degree $d$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$ for which the…
The theory of moduli of morphisms on P^n generalizes the study of rational maps on P^1. This paper proves three results about the space of morphisms on P^n of degree d > 1, and its quotient by the conjugation action of PGL(n+1). First, we…
We study the link between a compact hypersurface in $\P^{n+1}$ and the set of all its tangent planes. In this context, we identify $\P^{n+1}$ to the set of linear subspaces of codimension one by orthogonal complementarity. This gives rise…
We study the variation of linear sections of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$. We completely classify all plane curves, necessarily singular, whose line sections do not vary maximally in moduli. In higher dimensions, we prove that the family…
We construct a combinatorial moduli space closely related to the KSV-compactification of the moduli space of bordered marked Riemann surfaces. The open part arises from symmetric metric ribbon graphs. The compactification is obtained by…
There is a canonical isomorphism between the coarse moduli spaces of somooth hyperelliptic curves of genus g and binary forms of degree 2g+2 with nonzero discriminant. In this paper, we study the extension of this isomorphism to the…
We compactify the classical moduli variety of compact Riemann surfaces by attaching moduli of (metrized) graphs as boundary. The compactifications do not admit the structure of varieties and patch together to form a big connected moduli…
The goal of this paper is to construct a compactification of the moduli space of degree $d \ge 5$ surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$, i.e. a parameter space whose interior points correspond to (equivalence classes of) smooth surfaces in…
This paper investigates the stratification of the discriminant hypersurface associated with a univariate polynomial via the number of its distinct complex roots. We introduce two novel approaches different from the one based on…
We study compactifications of the moduli space of a plane cubic curve marked by \(n\) labeled points up to projective equivalence via Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). Specifically, we provide a complete description of the GIT walls and…
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 study various compactifications of moduli space of Newton maps. Mainly, we focus on GIT compactifiaction and Deligne-Mumford compactification. Then we explore the relations among these compactifications.
We define a geometrically meaningful compactification of the moduli space of smooth plane curves, which can be calculated explicitly. The basic idea is to regard a plane curve D in P^2 as a pair (P^2,D) of a surface together with a divisor,…
There is a canonical identification, due to the author, of a convex real projective structure on an orientable surface of genus g and a pair consisting of a conformal structure together with a holomorphic cubic differential on the surface.…
The space of smooth curves admits a beautiful compactification by the moduli space of Deligne-Mumford stable curves. In this paper, we undertake a systematic investigation of alternate modular compactifications of the space of smooth…
We use geometric invariant theory (GIT) to construct a large class of compactifications of the moduli space M_{0,n}. These compactifications include many previously known examples, as well as many new ones. As a consequence of our GIT…
