For a partially multiplicative quandle (PMQ) $\mathcal{Q}$ we consider the topological monoid $\mathring{\mathrm{HM}}(\mathcal{Q})$ of Hurwitz spaces of configurations in the plane with local monodromies in $\mathcal{Q}$. We compute the…
We introduce partially multiplicative quandles (PMQ), a generalisation of both partial monoids and quandles. We set up the basic theory of PMQs, focusing on the properties of free PMQs and complete PMQs. For a PMQ $\mathcal{Q}$ with…
For a finite group $G$ and a conjugation-invariant subset $Q\subseteq G$, we consider the Hurwitz space $\mathrm{Hur}_n(Q)$ parametrising branched covers of the plane with $n$ branch points, monodromies in $G$ and local monodromies in $Q$.…
Let $Y$ be a smooth, projective curve of genus $g\geq 1$ over the complex numbers. Let $H^0_{d,A}(Y)$ be the Hurwitz space which parametrizes coverings $p:X \to Y$ of degree $d$, simply branched in $n=2e$ points, with monodromy group equal…
We introduce new logarithmic Hurwitz spaces $\mathcal{LH}^{\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}}_A$ and $\mathcal{LH}^{\mathbb{F}_{p}}_{A,\Xi}$ over $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_p$ respectively that in the mixed characteristic case can be considered as a…
We consider the moduli space $\mathfrak{M}_{g,n}$ of Riemann surfaces of genus $g\ge0$ with $n\ge1$ ordered and directed marked points. For $d\ge 2g+n-1$ we show that $\mathfrak{M}_{g,n}$ is homotopy equivalent to a component of the…
Given a smooth, projective curve $Y$, a point $y_0 \in Y$, a positive integer $n$, and a transitive subgroup $G$ of the symmetric group $S_{d}$ we study smooth, proper families, parameterized by algebraic varieties, of pointed degree $d$…
We prove a homological stabilization theorem for Hurwitz spaces: moduli spaces of branched covers of the complex projective line. This has the following arithmetic consequence: let l>2 be prime and A a finite abelian l-group. Then there…
We study Hurwitz spaces with regard to homological stabilization. By a Hurwitz space, we mean a moduli space of branched, not necessarily connected coverings of a disk with fixed structure group and number of branch points. We choose a…
Let $C$ be a curve in $\mathbb{P}^4$ and $X$ be a hypersurface containing it. We show how it is possible to construct a matrix factorization on $X$ from the pair $(C,X)$ and, conversely, how a matrix factorization on $X$ leads to curves…
Let $X$ be a nilpotent space such that there exists $N\geq 1$ with $H^N(X,\mathbb Q) \ne 0$ and $H^n(X,\mathbb Q)=0$ if $n>N$. Let $Y$ be a m-connected space with $m\geq N+1$ and $H^*(Y,\mathbb Q)$ is finitely generated as algebra. We…
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…
Let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring of equal characteristic $p>0$. Given a $\mathbb{Z}/p$-Galois cover of a formal disc over $R$, one can derive from it a semi-stable model for which the specializations of branch points are…
The main goal of the present paper are new formulae for degrees of strata in Hurwitz spaces of rational functions having two degenerate critical values with preimages of prescribed multiplicities. We consider the case where the…
We study the Hochschild structure of a smooth space or orbifold, emphasizing the importance of a pairing defined on Hochschild homology which generalizes a similar pairing introduced by Mukai on the cohomology of a K3 surface. We discuss…
For a given bundle $\xi \colon E \to M$ over a manifold, configuration-section spaces on $\xi$ parametrise finite subsets $z \subseteq M$ equipped with a section of $\xi$ defined on $M \smallsetminus z$, with prescribed "charge" in a…
For each connected complex reductive group G, we find a family of new examples of complex quasi-Hamiltonian G-spaces with G-valued moment maps. These spaces arise naturally as moduli spaces of (suitably framed) meromorphic connections on…
We show the simple Hurwitz space $\mathcal{H}_{g,d}$ has trivial rational Picard group for $d>g-1$ and is uniruled for $d>g+1$.
We emphasize a bridge between two areas of function theory: hilbertian M\"untz spaces and model spaces of the Hardy space of the right half plane. We give miscellaneous applications of this viewpoint to hilbertian M\"untz spaces.
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate some basic properties of mixed homogeneous Herz-Hardy spaces $H\dot{K}_{\vec{p}}^{\alpha, q}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and mixed non-homogeneous Herz-Hardy spaces $HK_{\vec{p}}^{\alpha,…
