We describe moduli spaces of invariant generalized complex structures and moduli spaces of invariant generalized K\"ahler structures on maximal flag manifolds under $B$-transformations. We give an alternative description of the moduli space…

We study the moduli space of four dimensional ordinary Lie algebras, and their versal deformations. Their classification is well known; our focus in this paper is on the deformations, which yield a picture of how the moduli space is…

We study spaces and moduli spaces of Riemannian metrics with non-negative Ricci or non-negative sectional curvature on closed and open manifolds. We construct, in particular, the first classes of manifolds for which these moduli spaces have…

In this paper, we study certain moduli spaces of vector bundles on the blowup of the projective plane in at least 10 very general points. Moduli spaces of sheaves on general type surfaces may be nonreduced, reducible and even disconnected.…

Given a maximal geodesic lamination $\lambda$ on a closed oriented surface $S$ of genus $g$, the space of $d$-pleated surfaces with pleating locus $\lambda$ is an open subset of $\mathrm{Hom}(\pi_1(S),\mathsf{PGL}_d(\mathbb{C}))$ obtained…

The object of this note is the moduli spaces of cubic fourfolds (resp., Gushel-Mukai fourfolds) which contain some special rational surfaces. Under some hypotheses on the families of such surfaces, we develop a general method to show the…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 3$ and $S$ a finite subset of $X$. Let $\xi$ be fixed a holomorphic line bundle over $X$ of degree $d$. Let $\mathcal{M}_{pc}(r, d, \alpha)$ (respectively, $\mathcal{M}_{pc}(r, \alpha,…

We say that a tiling separates discs of a packing in the Euclidean plane, if each tile contains exactly one member of the packing. It is a known elementary geometric problem to show that for each locally finite packing of circular discs,…

We construct a new compactification of the moduli space of maps from pointed nonsingular projective stable curves to a nonsingular projective variety with prescribed ramification indices at the points. It is shown to be a proper…

Imposing additional constraints on low-rank optimization has garnered growing interest. However, the geometry of coupled constraints hampers the well-developed low-rank structure and makes the problem intricate. To this end, we propose a…
