We construct moduli spaces of linear self-maps of projective space with marked points, up to projective equivalence. That is, we let the special linear group act simultaneously by conjugation on projective linear maps and diagonally on…

We study the behaviour of motivic zeta functions of prehomogeneous vector spaces under castling transformations. In particular we deduce how the motivic Milnor fibre and the Hodge spectrum at the origin behave under such transformations.

We determine (multi)graded Betti numbers of path ideals of lines and star graphs.

We develop an elementary method to compute spaces of equivariant maps from a homogeneous space $G/H$ of a Lie group $G$ to a module of this group. The Lie group is not required to be compact. More generally, we study spaces of invariant…

The aim of this paper is to define the structure of a ring on a graded cohomology group of a precubical set in coefficients in a ring with unit.

Looijenga has introduced new compactifications of locally symmetric varieties that give a complete understanding of the period map from the GIT moduli space of plane sextics to the Baily-Borel compactification of the moduli space polarized…

We describe three algorithms to determine the stable, semistable, and torus-polystable loci of the GIT quotient of a projective variety by a reductive group. The algorithms are efficient when the group is semisimple. By using an…

This survey intends to present the basic notions of Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) through its paradigmatic application in the construction of the moduli space of holomorphic vector bundles. Special attention is paid to the notion of…

We introduce a space of stable meromorphic differentials with poles of prescribed orders and define its tautological cohomology ring. This space, just as the space of holomorphic differentials, is stratified according to the set of…

We characterize the image of the period map for cubic fourfolds with at worst simple singularities as the complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes in the period space. It follows then that the GIT compactification of the moduli space of…

Let H_1=SL(5), H_2=SL(3), H=H_1 \times H_2. It is known that (G,V) is a prehomogeneous vector space (see [22], [26], [25], for the definition of prehomogeneous vector spaces). A non-constant polynomial \delta(x) on V is called a relative…

The purpose of this paper is to provide a way to compute the intersection cohomology of the GIT quotient of a nonsingular projective variety. We show that the middle perversity intersection cohomology of the GIT quotient $M//G$ is naturally…

We show the correspondence between left invariant flat projective structures on Lie groups and certain prehomogeneous vector spaces. Moreover by using the classification theory of prehomogeneous vector spaces, we classify complex Lie groups…

In this paper we study the moduli spaces of nodal sextic curves. We realize each irreducible component of the GIT space of sextic curves with given number of nodes as an open subspace of type IV arithmetic quotients. We then focus on the…

For all spherical homogeneous spaces G/H, where G is a simply connected semisimple algebraic group and H a connected solvable subgroup of G, we compute the spectra of the representations of G on spaces of regular sections of homogeneous…

This paper develops the pre-quantization of Lie group-valued moment maps, and establishes its equivalence with the pre-quantization of infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian loop group spaces.

We construct new compactifications with good properties of moduli spaces of maps from nonsingular marked curves to a large class of GIT quotients. This generalizes from a unified perspective many particular examples considered earlier in…

We determine cuspidal character sheaves explicitly for all (GIT) stably graded exceptional Lie algebras.

This is an expository paper in which we define projective GIT quotients and introduce toric varieties from this perspective. It is intended primarily for readers who are learning either invariant theory or toric geometry for the first time.

We construct an infinite sequence of projectively flat manifolds by using castling transformations of prehomogeneous vector spaces. We also give a classification of manifolds equipped with a flat projective structure obtained by a finite…
