We study the behavior of the Gieseker space of semistable torsion-free sheaves of rank r and fixed c_1, c_2 on a non-singular projective surface as the polarization varies. It is shown that the ample cone admits a locally finite chamber…

Using methods from the theory of commutative graded Banach algebras, we obtain a generalization of the two dimensional Borsuk-Ulam theorem as follows: Let $\phi:S^{2} \rightarrow S^{2}$ be a homeomorphism of order n and $\lambda\neq 1$ be…

We study a higher order conformally coupled scalar tensor theory endowed with a covariant geometric constraint relating the scalar curvature with the Gauss-Bonnet scalar. It is a particular Horndeski theory including a canonical kinetic…

Quadric bundles on a compact Riemann surface X generalise orthogonal bundles and arise naturally in the study of the moduli space of representations of $\pi_1(X)$ in Sp(2n,R). We prove some basic results on the moduli spaces of quadric…

We produce an equality between the Gromov-Witten invariants of the moduli space M of rank two odd degree stable vector bundles over a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ and the Donaldson invariants of the algebraic surface $\Sigma \times P^1$. We…

The classical Mazur-Ulam theorem establishes that every surjective isometry between normed real vector spaces is an affine transformation. In various applied mathematical settings, however, one encounters maps that preserve distances not…

We first give an exposition of how the Polyakov path integral for the bosonic string produces a natural mapping class group invariant measure, $d(Poly)$, on the Teichm\"uller space of Riemann surfaces of each fixed genus. The description of…

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus at least two over the complex numbers. A pair (E,\phi) over X consists of an algebraic vector bundle E over X and a holomorphic section \phi of E. There is a concept of stability for pairs which…

We study the compactly supported rational cohomology of configuration spaces of points on wedges of spheres, equipped with natural actions of the symmetric group and the group $Out(F_g)$ of outer automorphisms of the free group. These…

Three geometric formulations of the Hamiltonian structure of the macroscopic Maxwell equations are given: one in terms of the double de Rham complex, one in terms of L2 duality, and one utilizing an abstract notion of duality. The final of…

We show that moduli spaces of transversely cut-out (perturbed) pseudo-holomorphic curves in an almost complex manifold carry canonical relative smooth structures ("relative to the moduli space of domain curves"). The main point is that…

In the present paper, we study a new kind of anabelian phenomenon concerning the smooth pointed stable curves in positive characteristic. It shows that the topological structures of moduli spaces of curves can be understood from the…
