We determine the quantum cohomology of the moduli space of odd degree rank two stable vector bundles over a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ of any genus. This work together with dg-ga/9710029 prove that this quantum cohomology is isomorphic to the…

We introduce a simple procedure to integrate differential forms with arbitrary holomorphic poles on Riemann surfaces. It gives rise to an intrinsic regularization of such singular integrals in terms of the underlying conformal geometry.…

We classify, up to automorphism, left invariant Riemannian metrics on 4-dimensional simply connected nonunimodular Lie groups. This is equivalent to classifying, up to automorphism, inner products on 4-dimensional nonunimodular Lie…

In this work we study riemannian metrics on flag manifolds adapted to the symmetries of these homogeneous nonsymmetric spaces. We first introduce the notion of riemannian $\Gamma $-symmetric space when $\Gamma $ is a general abelian finite…

We study spaces and moduli spaces of Riemannian metrics with non-negative Ricci or non-negative sectional curvature on closed and open manifolds. We construct, in particular, the first classes of manifolds for which these moduli spaces have…

We determine the singularity category of an arbitrary finite dimensional gentle algebra $\Lambda$. It is a finite product of $n$-cluster categories of type $\mathbb{A}_{1}$. Equivalently, it may be described as the stable module category of…

Let ${mathcal M}_g^n$ be the moduli space of n-pointed Riemann surfaces of genus g. Denote by ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_g^n$ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of ${mathcal M}_g^n$. In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the…

Playing off against each other the real and complex structures, we elucidate the local structure of certain representation spaces in the world of Poisson geometry. Particular cases of these spaces arise as moduli spaces of semistable…

We compute the first, second, third, and fifth rational cohomology groups of the moduli space of stable n-pointed genus g curves, for all g and n, using (mostly) algebro-geometric techniques.

The configuration space of $k \geq 3$ ordered points in the Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb C}$ is the Torelli space ${\mathcal U}_{0,k}$; a complex manifold of dimension $k-3$. If $m,n \geq 4$ and $F:{\mathcal U}_{0,m} \to {\mathcal…

Given a 2-manifold, a fundamental question to ask is which groups can be realized as the isometry group of a Riemannan metric of constant curvature on the manifold. In this paper, we give a nearly complete classification of such groups for…

We prove results about orbit closures and equidistribution for the SL(2,R) action on the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces, which are analogous to the theory of unipotent flows. The proofs of the main theorems rely on the measure…

We show that the moduli space of positive Ricci curvature metrics on all the total spaces of $S^7$-bundles over $S^8$ which are rational homology spheres has infinitely many path components. Furthermore, we carry out the diffeomorphism…

We describe the singular locus of the compactification of the moduli space $R_{g,l}$ of curves of genus $g$ paired with an $l$-torsion point in their Jacobian. Generalising previous work for $l\le 2$, we also describe the sublocus of…

We show that the moduli space of Riemannian metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature on certain quotients of Brieskorn varieties in dimension 5 has infinitely many path components. The same is true for the corresponding moduli space of…

We obtain an exhaustive classification of totally umbilical surfaces in unimodular and non-unimodular simply-connected 3-dimensional Lie groups endowed with arbitrary left-invariant Riemannian metrics. This completes the classification of…

The generic element of the moduli space of logarithmic connections with parabolic points on holomorphic vector bundle over the Riemann sphere can be represented by a Fuchsian equation with some singularities and some apparent singularities.…

We investigate in detail the connection between harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces into the unitary group $\U(n)$ and their Grassmannian models: these are families of shift-invariant subspaces of $L^2(S^1,\C^n)$. With the help of…
