We discuss criteria for a stable map of genus two and degree $4$ to the projective plane to be smoothable, as an application of our modular desingularisation of $\overline{\mathcal M}_{2,n}(\mathbb{P}^r,d)^{\text{main}}$ via logarithmic…
We will prove the relative homotopy principle for smooth maps with singularities of a given {\cal K}-invariant class with a mild condition. We next study a filtration of the group of homotopy self-equivalences of a given manifold P by…
Stack-theoretic blow-ups have proven to be efficient in resolving singularities over fields of characteristic zero. In this article, we move forward towards positive characteristic where new challenges arise. In particular, the dimension of…
We discuss phenomena of stabilization for direct images of line bundles over projective curves mapping onto the projective line, for maps of sufficiently big degree.
The aim of this article is to show that p-adic geometry of modular curves is useful in the study of p-adic properties of traces of singular moduli. In order to do so, we partly answer a question by Ono. As our goal is just to illustrate how…
For curves singularities the dimension of smoothing components in the deformation space is an invariant of the singularity, but in general the deformation space has components of different dimensions. We are interested in the question what…
Motivated by the study of heterotic string compactifications on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds, we present a procedure for testing semistability and identifying the decomposition type of degree zero holomorphic vector bundles…
We explore very stable and wobbly bundles, twisted in a particular sense by a line bundle, over complex algebraic curves of genus $1$. We verify that twisted stable bundles on an elliptic curve are not very stable for any positive twist. We…
We consider Abel maps for regular smoothing of nodal curves with values in the Esteves compactified Jacobian. In general, these maps are just rational, and an interesting question is to find an explicit resolution. We translate this problem…
The goal of the present paper is to construct a smooth compactification of the moduli superstack classifying pointed $\mathcal{N} =1$ SUSY (= $\text{SUSY}_1$) curves. This construction is based on the Abramovich-Jarvis-Chiodo…
We prove that every irreducible component of semi-regular loci of effective line bundles in the Picard scheme of a smooth projective variety has at worst rational singularities. This generalizes Kempf's result on rational singularities of…
Given any field $k$ (not necessarily perfect), we study the smoothing of a semistable Fano variety over $k$. In characteristic 0, the reduced semistable Fano degenerate fibers of Mori fibrations are classified. In positive characteristic,…
We construct a well-behaved compactification of finite covers of a stacky curve using admissible cover degenerations. Using our construction, we compactify the space of tetragonal curves on Hirzebruch surfaces. As an application, we…
We consider network topology identification subject to a signal smoothness prior on the nodal observations. A fast dual-based proximal gradient algorithm is developed to efficiently tackle a strongly convex, smoothness-regularized network…
We introduce the tautological rings of moduli stacks of twisted curves and establish some basic properties.
We define the notion of generalized logarithmic sheaves on a smooth projective surface, associated to a pair consisting of a reduced curve and some fixed points on it. We then set up the study of the Torelli property in this setting,…
Turaev's shadow can be seen locally as the Stein factorization of a stable map. In this paper, we define the notion of stable map complexity for a compact orientable 3-manifold bounded by (possibly empty) tori counting, with some weights,…
We study the Chow group of zero-cycles of smooth projective varieties over local and strictly local fields. We prove in particular the injectivity of the cycle class map to integral l-adic cohomology for a large class of surfaces with…
The purpose of this paper is to explore the geometry and establish the slope stability of tautological vector bundles on Hilbert schemes of points on smooth surfaces. By establishing stability in general we complete a series of results of…
The moduli spaces of stable surfaces serve as compactifications of the moduli spaces of canonical models of smooth surfaces in the same way the moduli spaces of stable curves compactify the moduli spaces of smooth curves. However, the…
