In this paper, we investigate the geometry of the moduli space of curves by using the curvature properties of direct image sheaves of vector bundles. We show that the moduli space $(M_g, \omega_{WP})$ of curves with genus $g>1$ has…

We classify the singularities in the unframed Nakajima quiver varieties associated with extended Dynkin quivers and the corresponding minimal imaginary root with a small restriction on the parameter and use this to construct a number of…

In these lectures I review the general structure of electric--magnetic duality rotations in every even space--time dimension. In four dimensions, which is my main concern, I discuss the general issue of symplectic covariance and how it…

Let $ E \xrightarrow[\text{}]{\pi} B$ be an oriented circle bundle over an oriented closed surface $B$. A quasisection is a smooth surface ${Q}$ (either closed or bordered) mapped by a generic smooth mapping $q$ to $E$ such that $\pi\circ…

We consider the self-dual vortex equations on a positive line bundle L --> M over a compact Kaehler manifold of arbitrary dimension. When M is simply connected, the moduli space of vortex solutions is a projective space. When M is an…

In this article, we construct differential modular forms for compact Shimura curves over totally real fields bigger than rational of non-zero integral weights that is not classical (of order zero) generalizing the construction of Buium [8].

We study semicontinuous maps on varieties of modules over finite-dimensional algebras. We prove that truncated Euler maps are upper or lower semicontinuous. This implies that $g$-vectors and $E$-invariants of modules are upper…

A Q-manifold is a supermanifold equipped with an odd vector field that squares to zero. The notion of the modular class of a Q-manifold -- which is viewed as the obstruction to the existence of a Q-invariant Berezin volume -- is not well…

We construct Nakajima's quiver varieties of type A in terms of affine Grassmannians of type A. This gives a compactification of quiver varieties and a decomposition of affine Grassmannians into a disjoint union of quiver varieties.…

We use the theory of cubic structures to give a fixed point Riemann-Roch formula for the equivariant Euler characteristics of coherent sheaves on projective flat schemes over Z with a tame action of a finite abelian group. This formula…

This paper studies the noncommutative singularity theory of the double $A_n$ quiver $Q_n$ (with a single loop at each vertex), with applications to algebraic geometry and representation theory. We give various intrinsic definitions of a…

Quiver varieties have recently appeared in various different areas of Mathematics such as representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras and quantum groups, instantons on 4-manifolds, and resolutions Kleinian singularities. In this paper, we…

We study quasi-modular pseudometric spaces as asymmetric refinements of modular metric structures. To each such space we associate canonical forward and backward quasi-uniformities and the corresponding directional topologies. We introduce…

In this paper we introduce and study the Euler characteristic associated with algebraic modules generated by arbitrary elements of certain noncommutative polyballs. We provide several asymptotic formulas and prove some of its basic…

We study the moduli space of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations with $N$ spinors on a compact Riemann surface. These moduli spaces arise in a program to define a new enumerative invariant of 3-manifolds. They are also of independent…

We generalize the notions of the Futaki invariant and extremal vector field of a compact K\"ahler manifold to the general almost-Kahler case and show the periodicity of the extremal vector field when the symplectic form represents an…

We unify problems about the equivariant geometry of symmetric quiver representation varieties, in the finite type setting, with the corresponding problems for symmetric varieties $GL(n)/K$ where $K$ is an orthogonal or symplectic group. In…

We settle a long-standing question about the hypermultiplet moduli spaces of the heterotic strings on ALE singularities. These heterotic backgrounds are specified by the singularity type, an instanton number, and a (nontrivial) flat…

We study Le Potier's strange duality conjecture on $\mathbb{P}^2$. We show the conjecture is true for the pair ($W(2,0,2),~M(d,0)$) with $d>0$, where $W(2,0,2)$ is the moduli space of semistable sheaves of rank 2, zero first Chern class and…
