This paper initiates a study of Hodge integrals on moduli spaces of pseudostable curves. We prove an explicit comparison formula that allows one to effectively compute any pseudostable Hodge integral in terms of intersection numbers on…

Given two matroids $\mathcal{M}_1 = (V, \mathcal{I}_1)$ and $\mathcal{M}_2 = (V, \mathcal{I}_2)$ over an $n$-element integer-weighted ground set $V$, the weighted matroid intersection problem aims to find a common independent set $S^{*} \in…

We give an explicit formula for the difference between the standard and reduced genus-one Gromov-Witten invariants. Combined with previous work on geometric properties of the latter, this paper makes it possible to compute the standard…

Let $M=G/H$ be a Riemannian homogeneous space, where $G$ is a compact Lie group with closed subgroup $H$. Classical intersection theory states that the de Rham cohomology ring of $M$ describes the signed count of intersection points of…

In this paper we present a way of computing a lower bound for genus of any smooth representative of a homology class of positive self-intersection in a smooth four-manifold $X$ with second positive Betti number $b_2^+(X)=1$. We study the…

We show that every forward complete Finsler manifold of infinite fundamental group and not homotopy-equivalent to $S^1$ has infinitely many geometrically distinct geodesics joining any given pair of points $p$ and $q$. In the special case…

We explain how to compute top-dimensional intersections of psi-classes on moduli spaces of m-stable curves. On the moduli spaces of Deligne-Mumford stable pointed curves of genus one, these intersection numbers are determined by two…

For a rank one Lie group G and a Zariski dense and geometrically finite subgroup $\Gamma$ of G, we establish equidistribution of holonomy classes about closed geodesics for the associated locally symmetric space. Our result is given in a…

In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the Futaki invariants of complete intersections. The result is new in the case where the variety is smooth or has orbifold singularities.

Oriented loops on an orientable surface are, up to equivalence by free homotopy, in one-to-one correspondence with the conjugacy classes of the surface's fundamental group. These conjugacy classes can be expressed (not uniquely in the case…

In this article, we construct a Hecke-equivariant Chow motive whose realizations equal intersection cohomology of Siegel threefolds with regular algebraic coefficients. As a consequence, we are able to define Grothendieck motives for Siegel…

We compute the intersection cohomology of the moduli spaces $M_{r,d}$ of semistable vector bundles having rank $r$ and degree $d$ over a curve. We do this by relating the Hodge-Deligne polynomial of the intersection cohomology of $M_{r,d}$…

The purpose of this talk is to present an (apparently) new way to look at the intersection complex of a singular variety over a finite field, or, more generally, at the intermediate extension functor on pure perverse sheaves, and an…

In this paper we calculate the elliptic genus of certain complete intersections in products of projective spaces. We show that it is equal to the elliptic genus of the Landau-Ginzburg models that are, according to Hori and Vafa, mirror…

We prove a generalized version of the Morse index theorem for geodesics endowed with a non positive definite metric tensor (semi-Riemannian manifolds). We apply the result to obtain lower estimates on the number of geodesics joining two…

In a 1992 paper, Witten gave a formula for the intersection pairings of the moduli space of flat $G$-bundles over an oriented surface, possibly with markings. In this paper, we give a general proof of Witten's formula, for arbitrary…

We prove an explicit formula for the arithmetic intersection number of diagonal cycles on GSpin Rapoport-Zink spaces in the minuscule case. This is a local problem arising from the arithmetic Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for orthogonal…

Around 2000 Kudla presented conjectures about deep relations between arithmetic intersection theory, Eisenstein series and their derivatives, and special values of Rankin $L-$series. The aim of this text is to work out the details of an old…

We provide formulas for the degrees of the projections of the locus of square matrices with given rank from linear spaces spanned by a choice of matrix entries. The motivation for these computations stem from applications to `matrix…

We observe that certain equivariant intersection numbers of Chern characters of tautological sheaves on Hilbert schemes for suitable circle actions can be computed using the Bloch-Okounkov formula, hence they are related to Gromov-Witten…
