We constructed a projective moduli space of semistable torsion free sheaves with `fixed determinant' on a reducible curve. When a family of smooth curves degenerates to the reducible curve, our moduli space is a degeneration of the moduli…

This is the first paper in the sequence devoted to derived category of moduli spaces of curves of genus $0$ with marked points. We develop several approaches to describe it equivariantly with respect to the action of the symmetric group…

We compute some Gromov-Witten invariants of the moduli space of odd degree rank two stable vector bundles over a Riemann surface of any genus. Next we find the first correction term for the quantum product of this moduli space and hence get…

We define a class of numerical semigroups S, which we call Castelnuovo semigroups, and study the subvariety $M^S_{g,1}$ of $M_{g,1}$ consisting of marked smooth curves with Weierstrass semigroup S. We determine the number of irreducible…

The aim of this paper is to study some modular contractions of the moduli space of stable pointed curves. These new moduli spaces, which are modular compactifications of the moduli space of smooth pointed curves, are related with the…

We analyze Weierstrass cycles and tautological rings in moduli space of smooth algebraic curves and in moduli spaces of integral algebraic curves with embedded disks with special attention to moduli spaces of curves having genus $\leq 6$.…

There is a well-known stratification of the moduli space $M_g$ of Deligne-Mumford stable curves of genus $g$ by the loci of stable curves with a fixed number $i$ of nodes, where $i \le 3g-3$. The associated moduli stack ${\cal M}_g$ admits…

In this paper, we study the moduli space of unipotent Weil-Deligne representations valued in a split reductive group $G$ and characterise which irreducible components are smooth. We apply the smoothness results proved to show that a certain…

We construct a proper moduli space which is a Deligne-Mumford stack parametrising quasimaps relative to a simple normal crossings divisor in any genus using logarithmic geometry. We show this moduli space admits a virtual fundamental class…

Let G be a split connected reductive group over a finite field F_q, and N its maximal unipotent subgroup. V. Drinfeld has introduced a remarkable partial compactification of the moduli stack of N-bundles on a smooth projective curve X over…

A previous result of the authors with Chaput and Perrin states that the union of all rational curves of fixed degree passing through a Schubert variety in a homogeneous space G/P is again a Schubert variety. In this paper we identify this…

We give bounds for the cohomology of constructible sheaves on the moduli stacks M_{g,n} over the complex field. This enables us recover Harer's bound for the virtual cohomological dimension of the associated mapping class groups as well the…

Consider the configuration spaces of manifolds. We give a precise formula for the integral cohomological dimension (the degree of top non-trivial integral cohomology group) of unordered configuration spaces of manifolds with non-trivial…

We determine the action of the product of symmetric groups on the cohomology of certain moduli of weighted pointed rational curves. The moduli spaces that we study are of stable rational curves with m+n marked points where the first m…

We prove the existence of quasi-projective coarse moduli spaces parametrising certain complete flags of subschemes of a fixed projective space $\mathbb{P}(V)$ up to projective automorphisms. The flags of subschemes being parametrised are…

We show that $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$, the moduli space of smooth curves of genus $g$ together with $n$ marked points, is unirational for $g=12$ and $2 \leq n\leq 4$ and for $g=13$ and $1 \leq n \leq 3$, by constructing suitable dominant…

We continue the investigation of curves of type p,q started in [KKW]. We study the space of such curves and the space of nodal curves with prescribed Weierstra\ss semigroup. A necessary and sufficient criterion for a numerical semigroup to…

We give an upper bound on the codimension in $M_{g,1}$ of the variety $M^S_{g,1}$ of marked curves $(C,p)$ with a given Weierstrass semigroup. The bound is a combinatorial quantity which we call the effective weight of the semigroup; it is…

It is a long-established and heavily-used fact that the integral cohomology ring of the Deligne-Mumford moduli space of (complex) rational curves is the polynomial ring on the boundary divisors modulo the ideal generated by the obvious…

We study the motive of the moduli spaces of semistable rank two vector bundles over an algebraic curve. When the degree is odd the moduli space is a smooth projective variety, we obtain the absolute Hodge motive of this, and in particular…
