This work is a PhD thesis. First we provide some general context on wonderful varieties and moduli spaces of rational curves. Working over complex numbers we prove that the moduli space of rational curves with no marked points on the…
We study the category whose objects are graphs of fixed genus and whose morphisms are contractions. We show that the corresponding contravariant module categories are Noetherian and we study two families of modules over these categories.…
We introduce a generalization of the notion of operad that we call a contractad, whose set of operations is indexed by connected graphs and whose composition rules are numbered by contractions of connected subgraphs. We show that many…
We compactify the moduli stack of maps from curves to certain quotient stacks $\mathcal{X}=[W/G]$ with a projective good moduli space, extending previous results from quasimap theory. For doing so, we introduce a new birational…
We study the Severi variety $V_{d,g}$ of plane curves of degree $d$ and geometric genus $g$. Corresponding to every such variety, there is a one-parameter family of genus $g$ stable curves whose numerical invariants we compute. Building on…
Let $\cM_{0,n}$ the moduli space of $n$-pointed rational curves. The aim of this note is to give a new, geometric construction of $\cM_{0,2n}^{GIT}$, the GIT compacification of $\cM_{0,2n}$, in terms of linear systems on $\PP^{2n-2}$ that…
In a previous paper we have constructed a compactification $KGl_n$ of the general linear group $Gl_n$, which in many respects is analogous to the so called wonderful compactification of adjoint semisimple algebraic groups as studied by De…
We give explicit, highly symmetric equations for the versal deformation of the singularity $L_{n+1}^n$ consisting of n+1 lines through the origin in n-dimensional affine space in generic position. These make evident that the base space of…
Many geometric learning problems require invariants on heterogeneous product spaces, i.e., products of distinct spaces carrying different group actions, where standard techniques do not directly apply. We show that, when a group $G$ acts…
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a new approach to study families of nodal curves on projective threefolds. Precisely, given $X$ a smooth projective threefold, $\E$ a rank-two vector bundle on $X$, $L$ a very ample line bundle…
We prove uniruledness of some moduli spaces $\bar{M}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points using linear systems on nonsingular projective surfaces containing the general curve of genus $g$. Precisely we show that…
We prove a new kind of homological stability theorem for automorphism groups of finitely-generated projective modules over Dedekind domains, which takes into account all possible stabilisation maps between these, rather than only…
We introduce an algebra of Schouten-commuting holomorphic polyvector fields on the moduli space of stable G-bundles over a curve by using invariant forms on the Lie algebra. The generators begin in degree three -- we prove a vanishing…
We show that the moduli space of stable rational curves with $n$ marked points has a full exceptional collection equivariant under the action of the symmetric group $S_n$ permuting the marked points. In particular, its K-group with integer…
The main theme of this work is the study of the operations that naturally exist on moduli spaces of maps $Map(S,X)$, also called the space of branes of $X$ with respect $S$. These operations will be constructed as operations on the…
We use geometric invariant theory and the language of quivers to study compactifications of moduli spaces of linear dynamical systems. A general approach to this problem is presented and applied to two well known cases: We show how both…
This is the second in a pair of papers developing a framework to apply logarithmic methods in the study of singular curves of genus $1$. This volume focuses on logarithmic Gromov--Witten theory and tropical geometry. We construct a…
We study the stable hyperelliptic locus, i.e. the closure, in the Deligne- Mumford moduli space of stable curves, of the locus of smooth hyperelliptic curves. Working on a suitable blowup of the relative Hilbert scheme (of degree 2)…
It is known that some GIT compactifications associated to moduli spaces of either points in the projective line or cubic surfaces are isomorphic to Baily-Borel compactifications of appropriate ball quotients. In this paper, we show that…
A weighted pointed curve consists of a nodal curve and a sequence of marked smooth points, each assigned a number between zero and one. A subset of the marked points may coincide if the sum of the corresponding weights is no greater than…
