In this note, using methods introduced by Hacon, McKernan and Xu, we study the accumulation points of volumes of varieties of log general type. First, we show that, if the set of boundary coefficients $\Lambda$ is DCC, closed under limits…

The cohomology of the moduli spaces of stable bundles M(n,d), of coprime rank n and degree d, over a Riemann surface (of genus g > 1) have been intensely studied over the past three decades. We prove in this paper that the Pontryagin ring…

We provide a general framework to study convergence properties of families of maps. For manifolds $M$ and $N$ where $M$ is equipped with a volume form $\mathcal{V}$ we consider families of maps in the collection $\{(\phi, B) : B \subset M,…

We study the renormalized volume of asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein (AHE in short) manifolds $(M,g)$ when the conformal boundary $\pl M$ has dimension $n$ even. Its definition depends on the choice of metric $h_0$ on $\partial M$ in the…

In this paper we prove two results concerning the classification of Siegel modular threefolds. Let A_{1,d}(n) be the moduli space of abelian surfaces with a (1,d)-polarization and a full level-n structure and let A_{1,d}^{lev}(n) be the…

Let G be a finite group of complex n by n unitary matrices generated by reflections acting on C^n. Let R be the ring of invariant polynomials, and \chi be a multiplicative character of G. Let \Omega^\chi be the R-module of \chi-invariant…

In this paper, we study Monge's problem on Riemannian manifolds $(M, g)$ with positive sectional curvature. Assuming that the source and target measures are absolutely continuous with respect to the Riemannian volume measure, we generalize…

We study a graded vector space of polynomials associated to a square matrix, defined by a finite difference condition along the rows. We show this space coincides with one defined by directional derivatives, and prove it is…

We introduce the notion of volume of the representation variety of a finitely presented discrete group in a compact Lie group using the push-forward measure associated to a map defined by a presentation of the discrete group. We show that…

We prove (Theorem~1.5) that there exists a constant $\Lambda > 0$ so that if $M$ is a $(\mu,d)$-generic complete hyperbolic 3-manifold of volume $\vol[M] < \infty$ and $\Sigma \subset M$ is a Heegaard surface of genus $g(\Sigma) > \Lambda…

On a smooth $n$-manifold $M$ with $n \geq 3$, we study pairs $(g,T)$ consisting of a Riemannian metric $g$ and a unit length closed vector field $T$. Motivated by how Ricci solitons generalize Einstein metrics via a distinguished vector…

We give a ``physics proof'' of a conjecture made by the first author at Strings 2005, that the moduli spaces of certain conformal field theories are finite volume in the Zamolodchikov metric, using an RG flow argument.

We relate the theory of moduli spaces $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,\mathcal{A}}$ of stable weighted curves of genus $0$ to the equivariant topology of complex Grassmann manifolds $G_{n,2}$, with the canonical action of the compact torus…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $\{\omega_p\}_{p=1}^{\infty}$ be the volume spectrum of $(M,g)$. We will show that $\omega_{k+m+1}\leq \omega_k+\omega_m+W$ for all $k,m\geq 0$, where $\omega_0=0$ and $W$ is the one-parameter…

Let $M$ be a compact oriented three-manifold whose interior is hyperbolic of finite volume. We prove a variation formula for the volume on the variety of representations of $M$ in $\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb C)$. Our proof follows the…

By a recent result of Viehweg, projective manifolds with ample canonical class have a coarse moduli space, which is a union of quasiprojective varieties. In this paper, we prove that there are manifolds with ample canonical class that lie…

Let $p$ be a prime, let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $n$ be a positive integer. We construct equivalences of categories between continuous $p$-adic representations of the $n$-fold product of the absolute Galois group…

For closed and oriented hyperbolic surfaces, a formula of Witten establishes an equality between two volume forms on the space of representations of the surface in a semisimple Lie group. One of the forms is a Reidemeister torsion, the…

We deduce explicit formulae for the intrinsic volumes of an ellipsoid in $\mathbb R^d$, $d\ge 2$, in terms of elliptic integrals. Namely, for an ellipsoid ${\mathcal E}\subset \mathbb R^d$ with semiaxes $a_1,\ldots, a_d$ we show that…

In a previous paper we showed that for every polarization on an abelian variety there is a dual polarization on the dual abelian variety. In this note we extend this notion of duality to families of polarized abelian varieties. As a main…
