Let M and N be even-dimensional oriented real manifolds, and $u:M \to N$ be a smooth mapping. A pair of complex structures at M and N is called u-compatible if the mapping u is holomorphic with respect to these structures. The quotient of…

In 2006, Kenyon and Okounkov computed the moduli space of Harnack curves of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$. We generalize to any projective toric surface some of the techniques used there. More precisely, we show that the moduli…

We prove that the existence of a divisor of degree $3$ and Baker-Norine rank at least $1$ on a $3$-edge connected tropical curve is equivalent to the existence of a non-degenerate harmonic morphism of degree $3$ from a tropical modification…

In this paper we study the ample cone of the moduli space $\mgn$ of stable $n$-pointed curves of genus $g$. Our motivating conjecture is that a divisor on $\mgn$ is ample iff it has positive intersection with all 1-dimensional strata (the…

Let $X[n]$ be the Fulton-MacPherson compactification of the configuration space of $n$ ordered points on a smooth projective variety $X$. We prove that if either $n\neq 2$ or $\dim(X)\geq 2$, then the connected component of the identity of…

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…

The stack $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ of stable curves and its coarse moduli space $\overline{M}_{g,n}$ are defined over $\mathbb{Z}$, and therefore over any field. Over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, Hacking…

For $g\ge 2$ and $n\ge 0$, let $\mathcal{H}_{g,n}\subset \mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ denote the complex moduli stack of $n$-marked smooth hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$. A normal crossings compactification of this space is provided by the theory…

We find a sharp bound for the order of the automorphism group of a stable curve of genus $g$ with $3g-3$ nodes, and a sharp bound for the order of the automorphism group of such a curve with all smooth components. Combined with the results…

We study moduli spaces of rational graphically stable tropical curves and a refinement given by radial alignment. Given a complete multipartite graph $\Gamma$, the moduli space of radially aligned $\Gamma$-stable tropical curves can be…

The moduli space $\mathcal{S}_{g, 2n}$ parametrizes pointed curves with spin structure. We prove that $\mathcal{S}_{g, 2}$, $\mathcal{S}_{g, 4}$ and $\mathcal{S}_{g, 6}$ are uniruled for particular values of $g$.

In the last years the biregular automorphisms of the Deligne-Mumford's and Hassett's compactifications of the moduli space of n-pointed genus g smooth curves have been extensively studied by A. Bruno and the authors. In this paper we give a…

The moduli space $M_g^{trop}$ of tropical curves of genus $g$ is a generalized cone complex that parametrizes metric vertex-weighted graphs of genus $g$. For each such graph $\Gamma$, the associated canonical linear system $\vert…

We compute the $S_n$-equivariant rational homology of the tropical moduli spaces $\Delta_{2,n}$ for $n\leq 8$ using a cellular chain complex for symmetric $\Delta$-complexes in Sage.

Let ${mathcal M}_g^n$ be the moduli space of n-pointed Riemann surfaces of genus g. Denote by ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_g^n$ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of ${mathcal M}_g^n$. In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the…

We prove a formula for the ${\mathbb S}_n$-equivariant Euler characteristic of the moduli space of graphs $\mathcal{MG}_{g,n}$. Moreover, we prove that the rational ${\mathbb S}_n$-invariant cohomology of $\mathcal{MG}_{g,n}$ stabilizes for…

We study the moduli space $\mathcal{AS}_{g}$ of Artin-Schreier curves of genus $g$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. The moduli space is partitioned by irreducible strata, where each stratum…

For a classical simple and simply connected group $G$, let $\mathcal{M}_{G,\omega}$ be the moduli space of $\omega$-semistable parabolic $G$-bundles on a complex smooth projective curve of genus $g$. We prove two results in this article:…

We suggest a general method of computation of the homology of certain smooth covers $\hat{\mathcal{M}}_{g,1}(\mathbb{C})$ of moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}_{g,1}\br{\mathbb{C}}$ of pointed curves of genus $g$. Namely, we consider moduli spaces…

By an automorphism of a topological group G we mean an isomorphism of G onto itself which is also a homeomorphism. In this article, we study the automorphism group Aut(G) of a dense subgroup G of R^n, n>=1. We show that Aut(G) can be…
