Recall that the moduli space of smooth (that is, stable) cubic curves is isomorphic to the quotient of the upper half plane by the group of fractional linear transformations with integer coefficients. We establish a similar result for…
Analogous to Weil-Petersson quasicircles, we investigate infinite circle patterns in the Euclidean plane parameterized by discrete harmonic functions of finite Dirichlet energy. The space of such circle patterns forms an…
We consider the space $\mathcal M$ of ordered quadruples of distinct points in the boundary of complex hyperbolic $n$-space, $\ch{n},$ up to its holomorphic isometry group ${\rm PU}(n,1).$ One of the important problems in complex hyperbolic…
Let $\cM_{g,n}$ be the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. From a complex perspective, moduli space is hyperbolic. For example, $\cM_{g,n}$ is abundantly populated by immersed holomorphic disks of constant…
The relation between the uniformizing equation of the complex hyperbolic structure on the moduli space of marked cubic surfaces and an Appell-Lauricella hypergeometric system in nine variables is clarified.
By a result of W.~P. Thurston, the moduli space of flat metrics on the sphere with $n$ cone singularities of prescribed positive curvatures is a complex hyperbolic orbifold of dimension $n-3$. The Hermitian form comes from the area of the…
We compute and analyse the moduli space of those real projective structures on a hyperbolic 3-orbifold that are modelled on a single ideal tetrahedron in projective space. Parameterisations are given in terms of classical invariants,…
A symplectic form is called hyperbolic if its pull-back to the universal cover is a differential of a bounded one-form. The present paper is concerned with the properties and constructions of manifolds admitting hyperbolic symplectic forms.…
We study moduli spaces of certain sextic curves with a singularity of multiplicity 3 from both perspectives of Deligne-Mostow theory and periods of K3 surfaces. In both ways we can describe the moduli spaces via arithmetic quotients of…
Let f be a newform, as specified by its Hecke eigenvalues, on a Shimura curve X. We describe a method for evaluating f. The most interesting case is when X arises as a compact quotient of the hyperbolic plane, so that classical q-expansions…
In this paper we study the homogeneous Kaehler manifolds (h.K.m.) which can be Kaehler immersed into finite or infinite dimensional complex space forms. On one hand we completely classify the h.K.m. which can be Kaehler immersed into a…
We explicitly describe a structure of a regular cell complex $K(L)$ on the moduli space $M(L)$ of a planar polygonal linkage $L$. The combinatorics is very much related (but not equal) to the combinatorics of the permutahedron. In…
We prove that there are relative $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,q)$-character varieties of the punctured sphere which are compact, totally non-hyperbolic and contain a dense representation. This work fills a remaining case of the results of N. Tholozan…
Following an earlier paper on the differential-geometric structure of the moduli space of special Lagrangian submanifolds in a Calabi-Yau manifold, we follow an analogous approach for compact complex Lagrangian submanifolds of a…
We develop a natural and geometric way to realize the hyperbolic plane as the moduli space of marked genus 1 Riemann surfaces. To do so, a metric is defined on the Teichm\"uller space of the torus, inspired by Thurston's Lipschitz metric…
The moduli space metric and its Kahler potential for well-separated non-Abelian vortices are obtained in U(N) gauge theories with N Higgs fields in the fundamental representation.
This is the second of two articles that describe the moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic, multiply punctured spheres in R x (S^1 x S^2) as defined by a certain natural pair of almost complex structure and symplectic form. The first article…
After a review of the general properties of holomorphic spheres in complex surfaces we describe the local geometry in the vicinity of a CP^1 embedded with a negative normal bundle. As a by-product, we build (asymptotically locally…
The moduli space of solutions to the vortex equations on a Riemann surface are well known to have a symplectic (in fact K\"{a}hler) structure. We show this symplectic structure explictly and proceed to show a family of symplectic (in fact,…
Singular and sectional hyperbolic sets are the objects of the extension of the classical Smale Hyperbolic Theory to flows having invariant sets with singularities accumulated by regular orbits within the set. It is by now well-known that…
