This work is a PhD thesis. First we provide some general context on wonderful varieties and moduli spaces of rational curves. Working over complex numbers we prove that the moduli space of rational curves with no marked points on the…

Hooley proved that if $f\in \Bbb Z [X]$ is irreducible of degree $\ge 2$, then the fractions $\{ r/n\}$, $0<r<n$ with $f(r)\equiv 0\pmod n$, are uniformly distributed in $(0,1)$. In this paper we study such problems for reducible…

Suppose $Y$ is a smooth variety equipped with a top form. We prove a simple theorem giving a sharp lower bound on the geometric genus of a family of subvarieties of $Y$, in terms of the dimension of this family. Two elementary applications…

Given an open subset U of a projective curve Y and a smooth family f:V-->U of curves, with semi-stable reduction over Y, we show that for a sub variation of Hodge structures of rank >2 the Arakelov inequality must be strict. For families of…

Let K be a totally real Galois number field and let A be a set of elliptic curves over K. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of a finite computable set of rational primes P such that for p not in P and E in A, the…

Under an assumption of normal genericity, we show that a stable J-holomorphic curve has, in the space of homologous curves of the same genus, a locally Euclidean neighbourhood of the expected dimension given by Riemann-Roch. In dimension 4,…

In this paper, we show that Severi varieties parameterizing irreducible reduced planar curves of a given degree and geometric genus are either empty or irreducible in any characteristic. Following Severi's original idea, this gives a new…

Let $G$ be a finite group. For a fixed element $g$ in $G$ and a given subgroup $H$ of $G$, the relative $g$-noncommuting graph of $G$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is $G$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x \in…

This article is a continuation of the article with the same title (see arXiv:1003.2953v1). Let {\rm $\text{HUR}_{d,t}^{G}(\mathbb P^1)$} be the Hurwitz space of degree $d$ coverings of the projective line $\mathbb P^1$ with Galois group…

In positive characteristic, algebraic curves can have many more automorphisms than expected from the classical Hurwitz's bound. There even exist algebraic curves of arbitrary high genus g with more than 16g^4 automorphisms. It has been…

In this paper, for $1<p<\infty$, we obtain the $L^p$-boundedness of the Hilbert transform $H^{\gamma}$ along a variable plane curve $(t,u(x_1, x_2)\gamma(t))$, where $u$ is a Lipschitz function with small Lipschitz norm, and $\gamma$ is a…

Hurwitz theory provides a large variety of enumerative problems related to algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, and combinatorics. We give a general framework to approach the large genus asymptotics of Hurwitz theory using only…

A real matrix is Hurwitz if its eigenvalues have negative real parts. The following generalisation of the Bidimensional Global Asymptotic Stability Problem (BGAS) is provided: Let $X:R^2-->R^2$ be a C^1 vector field whose derivative DX(p)…

Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices, and let $J_G$ denotes the corresponding binomial edge ideal in $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots,x_n,y_1,\ldots,y_n]$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is a field. We show that if a vertex satisfies a certain degree…

Let q>1 denote an integer relatively prime to 2,3,7 and for which G=PSL(2,q) is a Hurwitz group for a smooth projective curve X defined over C. We compute the G-module structure of the Riemann-Roch space L(D), where D is an invariant…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemmanian manifold with non-empty boundary. Consider the second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem (\delta_t^2 + P(x,D))u = 0 in (0,T) x M, u(0,x) = \delta_t u(0,x) = 0 for x in M, u(t,x) = f(t,x) on…

In a previous paper, arXiv:1206.5498, we introduced a new homological invariant $\e$ for the faithful action of a finite group G on an algebraic curve. We show here that the moduli space of curves admitting a faithful action of a finite…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra. For a regular element $x$ in $\mathfrak{g}$ and a Hessenberg space $H\subseteq \mathfrak{g}$, we consider a regular Hessenberg variety $X(x,H)$ in the flag variety associated with…

We provide upper bounds on the total number of irreducible factors, and in particular irreducibility criteria for some classes of bivariate polynomials $f(x,y)$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. Our results rely on information on the…
