We prove that the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involution are rational for four deformation types. With the previous results, this establishes the rationality of those moduli spaces except two classical cases.
Let $M^{(k)}_{d}(n)$ be the manifold of $n$-tuples $(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in(\mathbb{R}^d)^n$ having non-$k$-equal coordinates. We show that, for $d\geq2$, $M^{(3)}_{d}(n)$ is rationally formal if and only if $n\leq 6$. This stands in sharp…
We explicitly determine the locations of G orbifold conformal field theories, G=Z_M, M=2,3,4,6, G=\hat D_n, n=4,5, or G the binary tetrahedral group \hat T, within the moduli space M^{K3} of N=(4,4) superconformal field theories associated…
There are $75$ moduli spaces $F_S$ of K3 surfaces with a nonsymplectic involution. We give detailed descriptions of Kulikov models for one-parameter degenerations in $F_S$. In the $50$ cases where the fixed locus of the involution has a…
We find a complete set of relations for the rational cohomology ring of the moduli space of rank three stable bundles over a Riemann surface of genus g and also show that the Pontryagin ring vanishes in degree 12g-8 and greater. The results…
We determine all the Fourier-Mukai transforms for coherent systems consisting of a vector bundle over an elliptic curve and a subspace of its global sections, showing that these transforms are indexed by the positive integers. We prove that…
Generalizing a recent construction of Yang and Yu, we study to what extent one can intersect Hassett's Noether-Lefschetz divisors $\mathcal{C}_d$ in the moduli space of cubic fourfolds $\mathcal{C}$. In particular, we exhibit arithmetic…
For many classical moduli spaces of orthogonal type there are results about the Kodaira dimension. But nothing is known in the case of dimension greater than 19. In this paper we obtain the first results in this direction. In particular the…
The moduli space of complex cubic surfaces has three different, but isomorphic, compact realizations: as a GIT quotient, as a Baily--Borel compactification of a ball quotient, and as a compactified $K$-moduli space. From all three…
We give a corrected statement of the theorem of Gurjar and Miyanishi, which classifies smooth affine surfaces of Kodaira dimension zero, whose coordinate ring is factorial and has trivial units. Denote the class of such surfaces by…
We extend some of the results obtained for subvarieties of the moduli stack of canonically polarized manifolds in "Base spaces of non-isotrivial families of smooth minimal models" (math.AG/0103122) to moduli of polarized minimal models of…
We prove that any two-dimensional moduli space of stable 2-vector bundles, in the non-filtrable range, on a primary Kodaira surface is a primary Kodaira surface. If a universal bundle exists, then the two surfaces are homeomorphic up to…
Let $(X,D)$ be a log smooth pair of dimension $n$, where $D$ is a reduced effective divisor such that the log canonical divisor $K_X + D$ is pseudo-effective. Let $G$ be a connected algebraic subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(X,D)$. We show that…
We prove that the number of curves of a fixed genus g over finite fields is a polynomial function of the size of the field if and only if g is at most 8. Furthermore, we determine for each positive genus g the smallest n such that the…
Futaki invariants of the classical moduli space of 4d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories determine whether they have a conformal fixed point in the IR. We systematically compute the Futaki invariants for a large family of 4d N=1…
The moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$ is (up to a finite \'etale cover) a complex manifold and so it makes sense to speak of its Dolbeault cohomological dimension. The conjecturally optimal bound is $g-2$. This expectation…
We study the moduli space $\mathcal{F}_{T_1}$ of quasi-trielliptic K3 surfaces of type I, whose general member is a smooth bidegree $(2,3)$-hypersurface of $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^2$. Such moduli space plays an important role in the…
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth Riemannian manifold and $\mathsf{G}$ a compact Lie group acting on $M$ effectively and by isometries. It is well known that a lower bound of the sectional curvature of $(M,g)$ is again a bound for the curvature of…
We study the moduli spaces of surface pairs $(X,D)$ admitting a log Calabi--Yau fibration $(X,D) \to C$. We develop a series of results on stable reduction and apply them to give an explicit description of the boundary of the KSBA…
The first part of this paper studied $\mathrm{GSp}_4$-type abelian varieties and the corresponding compatible systems of $\mathrm{GSp}_4$ representations. Techniques in \cite{BCGP} are applied to show that one can prove the potential…
