We prove that the moduli space of rational curves with cyclic action, constructed in our previous work, is realizable as a wonderful compactification of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement in a product of projective spaces. By…
We lower substantially the strength of the assumptions needed for the validity of certain results in category theory and homotopy theory which were known to follow from Vopenka's principle. We prove that the necessary large-cardinal…
Just as a symmetric surface with separating fixed locus halves into two oriented bordered surfaces, an arbitrary symmetric surface halves into two oriented symmetric half-surfaces, i.e. surfaces with crosscaps. Motivated in part by the…
Work of Hofer--Wysocki--Zehnder has shown that many spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves that arise when studying symplectic manifolds may be described as the zero set of a polyfold Fredholm section. This framework has many analytic…
In this paper we study relative Riemann-Zariski spaces attached to a morphism of schemes and generalizing the classical Riemann-Zariski space of a field. We prove that similarly to the classical RZ spaces, the relative ones can be described…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective scheme and $E$ a vector bundle on $X$. For a relative hypersurface $Y_f \subset \mathbb{P}(E)$ of degree $d$ defined by a global section $f$, we establish a functorial equivalence between the category of…
Using the F-theory realization, we identify a subclass of 6d (1,0) SCFTs whose compactification on a Riemann surface leads to N = 1 4d SCFTs where the moduli space of the Riemann surface is part of the moduli space of the theory. In…
Inspired by the log Gromov-Witten (or GW) theory of Gross-Siebert/Abramovich-Chen, we introduce a geometric notion of log J-holomorphic curve relative to a simple normal crossings symplectic divisor defined in [FMZ1]. Every such moduli…
Using a modification of the invariant Jensen forcing, we define a model of ZFC, in which, for a given $n\ge3$, there exists a lightface $\varPi^1_n$ set of reals, which is a ${\mathsf E}_0$ equivalence class, hence a countable set, and…
A conic fibration has an associated sheaf of even Clifford algebras on the base. In this paper, we study the relation between the moduli spaces of modules over the sheaf of even Clifford algebras and the Prym variety associated to the conic…
The class $\mathfrak C $ relative to countably compact topological spaces and the class $\mathfrak P$ relative to pseudocompact spaces introduced by Z. Frol\'ik are naturally generalized relative to every topological property. We provide a…
We construct a compactification of the moduli space of twisted holomorphic maps with varying complex structure and bounded energy. For a given compact symplectic manifold $X$ with a compatible complex structure and a Hamiltonian action of…
Let f: X -> Z be a separated essentially-finite-type flat map of noetherian schemes, and \delta: X --> X \times_Z X the diagonal map. The fundamental class C_f (globalizing residues) is a map from the relative Hochschild functor…
Principal affine open subsets in affine schemes are an important tool in the foundations of algebraic geometry. Given a commutative ring $R$, $\,R$-modules built from the rings of functions on principal affine open subschemes in…
We introduce a generalization of stationary set reflection which we call "filter reflection", and show it is compatible with the axiom of constructibility as well as with strong forcing axioms. We prove the independence of filter reflection…
We survey a (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces called polyfolds, and develop the analytical foundations for some of the applications of the theory. The basic feature of these new spaces, which can be finite and…
We construct new "virtually smooth" modular compactifications of spaces of maps from nonsingular curves to smooth projective toric varieties. They generalize Givental's compactifications, when the complex structure of the curve is allowed…
Motivated by applications in moduli theory, we introduce a flexible and powerful language for expressing lower bounds on relative dimension of morphisms of schemes, and more generally of algebraic stacks. We show that the theory is robust…
We study the moduli functor of flat bundles on smooth, possibly non-proper, algebraic variety $X$ (over a field of characteristic zero). For this we introduce the notion of \emph{formal boundary} of $X$, denoted by $\partial X$, which is a…
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…
