This mainly expository text translates into stack language the proof of King and Schofield for the rationality of moduli schemes of vector bundles on a curve in the coprime case. An appendix summarizes some basic properties of the relevant…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ over the complex numbers. Fix $n\geq 2$, and an integer $d$. A pair $(E,\phi)$ over $X$ consists of an algebraic vector bundle $E$ of rank $n$ and degree $d$ over $X$ and a section…
We introduce real-valued $(p,q)$-forms on weighted metric graphs with boundary similar to Lagerberg forms on polyhedral spaces. We compute the Dolbeault cohomology and prove Poincar\'e duality. Using Thuillier's thesis, the skeleton of a…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve genus $G$ (as elaborated in \ref{main1}), over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristics. Let $\cH$ {\em be a tamely ramified absolutely simple, simply connected connected group…
Twenty years ago, Mumford initiated the systematic study of the cohomology ring of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. Around the same time, Harer proved that the homology of the mapping class groups of oriented surfaces is independent of…
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $2$. Following a method by O' Grady, we construct a semismall desingularization $\tilde{\mathcal{M}}_{Dol}^G$ of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{Dol}^G$ of semistable $G$-Higgs bundles of degree…
We show that a certain locus inside the moduli space $M_g$ of hyperbolic surfaces, given by surfaces with "sufficiently many" short geodesics, is a classifying space of the handlebody mapping class group. A consequence of the construction…
We describe the action of the different Frobenius morphisms on the cohomology ring of the moduli stack of algebraic vector bundles of fixed rank and determinant on an algebraic curve over a finite field in characteristic p and analyse…
We compute the rational homology of the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}$ of objects in the derived category of certain smooth complex projective varieties $X$ including toric varieties, flag varieties, curves, surfaces, and some 3- and 4-folds.…
The Ricci curvature equations are a central subject of study in geometry. However, in the smooth real case, their linear analysis is often confined to settings in which the background metric is Einstein. In this paper, we establish…
In this article, we prove the Hodge conjecture for a desingularization of the moduli space of rank 2, semi-stable, torsion-free sheaves with fixed odd degree determinant over a very general irreducible nodal curve of genus at least 2. We…
We introduce a theory of cohomological invariants with mod $p^r$ coefficients for algebraic stacks in characteristic $p$. Using these new tools we complete the computation of the Brauer group and cohomological invariants of the stack of…
This article treats the Picard group of the moduli (stack) of r-spin curves and its compactification. Generalized spin curves, or r-spin curves are a natural generalization of 2-spin curves (algebraic curves with a theta-characteristic),…
Holomorphic principal G-bundles over a complex manifold M can be studied using non-abelian cohomology groups H^1(M,G). On the other hand, if M=\Sigma is a closed Riemann surface, there is a correspondence between holomorphic principal…
The Dolbeault resolution of the sheaf of holomorphic vector fields $Lie$ on a complex manifold $M$ relates $Lie$ to a sheaf of differential graded Lie algebras, known as the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis algebra $g$. We establish - following B. L.…
We develop the technique of weight truncation in the context of wall-crossings in birational cobordisms, parallel to that in [HL15, BFK19]. More precisely, for each such wall-crossing, we embed the bounded above derived category of coherent…
We disprove Hitchin's conjecture to the effect that for a generic complex structure on a simply connected spin complex surface the square root of the canonical bundle has no more cohomology then is predicted by the Riemann--Roch theorem.…
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\ge2$ and let $N$ be the moduli space of stable rank $2$ vector bundles on $C$ of odd degree. We construct a semi-orthogonal decomposition of the bounded derived category of $N$ conjectured by…
We propose a conjectural semiorthogonal decomposition for the derived category of the moduli space of stable rank 2 bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree, independently formulated by Narasimhan. We discuss some evidence for, and…
We give a detailed proof of T. Willwacher's theorem arXiv:1009.1654 which links the cohomology of the full graph complex fGC to the cohomology of the deformation complex of the operad GER, governing Gerstenhaber algebras. We also present…
