Modular Galois representations into GL_2(F_p) with cyclotomic determinant arise from elliptic curves for p = 2,3,5. We show (by constructing explicit examples) that such elliptic curves cannot be chosen to have conductor as small as…

Let k=F_q be a finite field of characteristic 2. A genus 3 curve C/k has many involutions if the group of k-automorphisms admits a C_2\times C_2 subgroup H (not containing the hyperelliptic involution if C is hyperelliptic). Then C is an…

In this paper, we study the moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}_{\delta,c_2}$ of stable rank-2 vector bundles on non-K\" ahler elliptic surfaces, thus giving a classification these bundles; in the case of Hopf and Kodaira surfaces, these moduli…

We show that there are no irregular Sasaki-Einstein structures on rational homology 5-spheres. On the other hand, using K-stability we prove the existence of continuous families of non-toric irregular Sasaki-Einstein structures on odd…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Let X(p^e;N) be the curve parameterizing elliptic curves with full level N structure (where p does not divide N) and full level p^e Igusa structure. By modular curve, we mean a…

We study the cohomology of an elliptic differential complex arising from the infinitesimal moduli of heterotic string theory. We compute these cohomology groups at the standard embedding, and show that they decompose into a direct sum of…

In this paper, we study holomorphic vector bundles on (diagonal) Hopf manifolds. In particular, we give a description of moduli spaces of stable bundles on generic (non-elliptic) Hopf surfaces. We also give a classification of stable rank-2…

In this paper, we study quotients of groupoids and coarse moduli spaces of stacks in a general setting. Geometric quotients are not always categorical, but we present a natural topological condition under which a geometric quotient is…

In this paper we study the local geometry of the stack of pointed $A_r$-stable curves. In particular, we analyze the deformation theory of $A_r$-stable curves and their automorphism groups in order to study the combinatorics of families of…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, $F_X:X\rightarrow X$ the absolute Frobenius morphism. Let $\M^s_X(r,d)$ be the moduli space of stable vector bundles of…

Assuming the Hasse--Weil conjecture and the generalized Riemann hypothesis for the $L$-functions of the elliptic curve, we give an upper bound of the average analytic rank of elliptic curves over the number field with a level structure such…

We compute a large number of moduli spaces of stable bundles on a general algebraic elliptic surface using a new class of Fourier-Mukai type transforms.

The geometric objects of study in this paper are K3 surfaces which admit a polarization by the unique even unimodular lattice of signature (1,17). A standard Hodge-theoretic observation about this special class of K3 surfaces is that their…

In this paper we collect some results on the obstruction spaces for rational surface singularities and minimally elliptic surface singularities. Based on the known results we calculate higher obstruction spaces for such surface…

We prove that the moduli stack of stable curves of genus g with n marked points is rigid, i.e., has no infinitesimal deformations. This confirms the first case of a principle proposed by Kapranov. It can also be viewed as a version of…

We study Mori's three-dimensional contractions $f\colon X\to Z$. It is proved that on the ``good'' model $(\bar X,\bar S)$ the exceptional divisor has no elliptic components of $Diff_{\bar S}$ with coefficients $\ge 6/7$.

We give a vanishing and classification result for holomorphic differential forms on smooth projective models of the moduli spaces of pointed K3 surfaces. We prove that there is no nonzero holomorphic k-form for 0<k<10 and for even k>19. In…

We study moduli of coherent sheaves of some given degree and positive rank on a curve. We show that there is only one nonempty open condition on families of sheaves that yields a universally closed adequate moduli space, namely, the one…

We study the universal family of odd hyperelliptic curves of genus $g \geq 1$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. We relate the heights of $\mathbb{Q}$-points of Jacobians of curves in this family to the reduction theory of the representation of…

We find equations for the higher dimensional analogue of the modular curve X_0(3) using Mumford's algebraic formalism of algebraic theta functions. As a consequence, we derive a method for the construction of genus 2 hyperelliptic curves…
