We address the prime geodesic theorem in arithmetic progressions, and resolve conjectures of Golovchanski\u{\i}-Smotrov (1999). In particular, we prove that the traces of closed geodesics on the modular surface do not equidistribute in the…
For noetherian schemes of finite dimension over a field of characteristic exponent $p$, we study the triangulated categories of $\mathbf{Z}[1/p]$-linear mixed motives obtained from cdh-sheaves with transfers. We prove that these have many…
We review the recent proof of the N.Takahashi's conjecture on genus $0$ Gromov-Witten invariants of $(\mathbb{P}^2, E)$, where $E$ is a smooth cubic curve in the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. The main idea is the use of the…
We start developing a notion of reciprocity sheaves, generalizing Voevodsky's homotopy invariant presheaves with transfers which were used in the construction of his triangulated categories of motives. We hope reciprocity sheaves will…
The moduli space of stable relative maps to the projective line combines features of stable maps and admissible covers. We prove all standard Gromov-Witten classes on these moduli spaces of stable relative maps have tautological…
In the present paper, we study a new kind of anabelian phenomenon concerning the smooth pointed stable curves in positive characteristic. It shows that the topological structures of moduli spaces of curves can be understood from the…
We discuss analogs of Faber's conjecture for two nested sequences of partial compactifications of the moduli space of smooth curves. We show that their tautological rings are one-dimensional in top degree but do not satisfy Poincare…
Topos theory occupies a singular place in contemporary mathematics: born from Grothendieck's algebraic geometry, it has emerged as a unifying language for geometry, topology, algebra, and logic. This book offers a progressive introduction…
We study, using the language of log schemes, the problem of extending biextensions of smooth commutative group schemes by the multiplicative group. This was first considered by Grothendieck in SGA 7. We show that this problem admits a…
This is mostly* a non-technical exposition of the joint work arXiv:1212.0373 with Caporaso and Payne. Topics include: Moduli of Riemann surfaces / algebraic curves; Deligne-Mumford compactification; Dual graphs and the combinatorics of the…
In this article, we study quasimaps to moduli spaces of sheaves on a $K3$ surface $S$. We construct a surjective cosection of the obstruction theory of moduli spaces of quasimaps. We then establish reduced wall-crossing formulas which…
We build a connection between topology of smooth 4-manifolds and the theory of topological modular forms by considering topologically twisted compactification of 6d (1,0) theories on 4-manifolds with flavor symmetry backgrounds. The…
In this article, we study the deformation theory of locally free sheaves and Hitchin pairs over a nodal curve. As a special case, the infinitesimal deformation of these objects gives the tangent space of the corresponding moduli spaces,…
We introduce a new method for ``twisting'' relative equivalences of derived categories of sheaves on two spaces over the same base. The first aspect of this is that the derived categories of sheaves on the spaces are twisted. They become…
Recently, many authors have embraced the study of certain properties of modules such as projectivity, injectivity and flatness from an alternative point of view. This way, Durgun has introduced absolutely pure domains of modules as a mean…
Summary of main work 1999-2012
We describe recent work on the arithmetic properties of moduli spaces of stable vector bundles and stable parabolic bundles on a curve over a global field. In particular, we describe a connection between the period-index problem for Brauer…
It is well known that numerical quantities arising from the theory of D-modules are related to invariants of singularities in birational geometry. This paper surveys a deeper relationship between the two areas, where the numerical…
We consider the Grothendieck--Teichm\"uller group under a new aspect. Using real algebraic geometry and web theory we show that it preserves dihedral symmetry relations, present in the fundamental groupoids of configuration spaces of marked…
We prove a sheaf-theoretic derived-category generalization of Greenlees-May duality (a far-reaching generalization of Grothendieck's local duality theorem): for a quasi-compact separated scheme X and a "proregular" subscheme Z---for…
