It was recently determined exactly through how many general points a nondegenerate curve with nonspecial hyperplane section can pass. This gives rise to a method of constructing reducible curves $C_1 \cup_\Gamma C_2 \to \mathbb{P}^r$ with…
We prove that for every integer $t\geq 1$, the class of intersection graphs of curves in the plane each of which crosses a fixed curve in at least one and at most $t$ points is $\chi$-bounded. This is essentially the strongest…
We completely describe the Brill-Noether theory for curves in the primitive linear system on generic abelian surfaces, in the following sense: given integers $d$ and $r$, consider the variety $V^r_d(|H|)$ parametrizing curves $C$ in the…
Understanding when an abstract complex curve of given genus comes equipped with a map of fixed degree to a projective space of fixed dimension is a foundational question; and Brill--Noether theory addresses this question via linear series,…
We show that the wall crossing bijections between simples of the category O of the rational Cherednik algebras reduce to particular crystal isomorphisms which can be computed by a simple combinatorial procedure on multipartitions of fixed…
Let $C$ be a curve of genus $g\geq 2$. A coherent system on $C$ consists of a pair $(E,V)$ where $E$ is an algebraic vector bundle of rank $n$ and degree $d$ and $V$ is a subspace of dimension $k$ of sections of $E$. The stability of the…
Let (S,H) be a polarized K3 surface, $E$ be a coherent sheaf on S and W be a linear subspace in the space of global sections H^0(S,E). If we are lucky, there is an exact sequence 0 -> W tensor O -> E -> E' -> 0, which gives a correspondence…
We construct a space classifying divisor classes of a fixed degree on all tropical curves of a fixed combinatorial type and show that the function taking a divisor class to its rank is upper semicontinuous. We extend the definition of the…
Let n,d be positive integers, with d even (say d=2e). Let X_(n,d) denote the locus of degree d hypersurfaces in P^n which consist of two e-fold hyperplanes. We bound the regularity of the ideal of this variety. Moreover, we show that this…
A fundamental problem in fault-tolerant quantum computation is the tradeoff between universality and dimensionality, exemplified by the the Bravyi-K\"onig bound for $n$-dimensional topological stabilizer codes. In this work, we extend…
We consider two systems of curves $(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_m)$ and $(\beta_1,...,\beta_n)$ drawn on a compact two-dimensional surface $M$ with boundary. Each $\alpha_i$ and each $\beta_j$ is either an arc meeting the boundary of $M$ at its two…
We extend B. Hassett's theory of weighted stable pointed curves ([Has03]) to weighted stable maps. The space of stability conditions is described explicitly, and the wall-crossing phenomenon studied. This can be considered as a non-linear…
We prove that the normal bundle of a general Brill-Noether curve of genus $g \geq 1$ and degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$ is semistable if $g=1$ or $g\geq \left \lceil \frac{5r}{2}\right\rceil r(r-1)$, or $d$ is larger than an explicit function…
We give a physical explanation of the Kontsevich-Soibelman wall-crossing formula for the BPS spectrum in Seiberg-Witten theories. In the process we give an exact description of the BPS instanton corrections to the hyperkahler metric of the…
We prove that the Jacobian of a general curve C of genus g=2a+1, with g>4, can be realized as a Prym-Tyurin variety for the Brill-Noether curve W^1_{a+2}(C). As a consequence of this result we are able to compute the class of the sum of the…
We extend the ideas of Friedman and Qin (Flips of moduli spaces and transition formulae for Donaldson polynomial invariants of rational surfaces) to find the wall-crossing formulae for the Donaldson invariants of algebraic surfaces with…
A graph is \emph{fan-crossing free} if it has a drawing in the plane so that each edge is crossed by independent edges, that is the crossing edges have distinct vertices. On the other hand, it is \emph{fan-crossing} if the crossing edges…
We describe the closure of the strata of abelian differentials with prescribed type of zeros and poles, in the projectivized Hodge bundle over the Deligne-Mumford moduli space of stable curves with marked points. We provide an explicit…
We show that the Hilbert scheme of curves and Le Potier's moduli space of stable pairs with one dimensional support have a common GIT construction. The two spaces correspond to chambers on either side of a wall in the space of GIT…
We investigate a new lattice of generalised non-crossing partitions, constructed using the geometry of the complex reflection group $G(e,e,r)$. For the particular case $e=2$ (resp. $r=2$), our lattice coincides with the lattice of simple…
