We present a simplified formulation of open intersection numbers, as an alternative to the theory initiated by Pandharipande, Solomon and Tessler. The relevant moduli spaces consist of Riemann surfaces (either with or without boundary) with…

We look at sequences of positive integers that can be realized as degree sequences of iterates of rational dominant maps of smooth projective varieties over arbitrary fields. New constraints on the degree growth of endomorphisms of the…

We study compactifications of the moduli space of a plane cubic curve marked by \(n\) labeled points up to projective equivalence via Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). Specifically, we provide a complete description of the GIT walls and…

To any nodal curve $C$ is associated the degree class group, a combinatorial invariant which plays an important role in the compactification of the generalised Jacobian of $C$ and in the construction of the N\'eron model of the Picard…

Under some assumptions, we compute the Picard group of moduli of stable sheaves on Abelian surfaces. Considering relative moduli spaces, it is sufficient to consider the moduli of stable sheaves on the product of elliptic curves. By using…

In this note, we consider rational cuspidal plane curves having exactly one cusp whose complements have logarithmic Kodaira dimension two. We classify such curves with the property that the strict transforms of them via the minimal embedded…

We study moduli spaces of stable objects in the Kuznetsov components of Fano threefolds. We prove a general non-emptiness criterion for moduli spaces, which applies to the cases of prime Fano threefolds of index $1$, degree $10 \leq d \leq…

We develop a theory for stable maps to curves with divisible ramification. For a fixed integer $r>0$, we show that the condition of every ramification locus being divisible by $r$ is equivalent to the existence of an $r$th root of a…

We determine the convergence regions of certain local integrals on the moduli spaces of curves in neighborhoods of fixed stable curves in terms of the combinatorics of the corresponding graphs.

Inspired by the log Gromov-Witten (or GW) theory of Gross-Siebert/Abramovich-Chen, we introduce a geometric notion of log J-holomorphic curve relative to a simple normal crossings symplectic divisor defined in [FMZ1]. Every such moduli…

Kontsevich introduced certain ribbon graphs as cell decompositions for combinatorial models of moduli spaces of complex curves with boundaries in his proof of Witten's conjecture. In this work, we define four types of generalised Kontsevich…

We prove irreducible components of moduli spaces of semistable representations of skewed-gentle algebras, and more generally, clannish algebras, are isomorphic to products of projective spaces. This is achieved by showing irreducible…

This is the first paper in the sequence devoted to derived category of moduli spaces of curves of genus $0$ with marked points. We develop several approaches to describe it equivariantly with respect to the action of the symmetric group…

These are lecture notes of a C.I.M.E. course I gave at Cetraro, June 6-11 2005. The theory described is the version of Chen-Ruan's Gromov-Witten theory of orbifolds developed by Graber, Vistoli and me in the algebraic setting, but with…

The classical Severi degree counts the number of algebraic curves of fixed genus and class passing through points in a surface. We express the Severi degrees of CP1 x CP1 as matrix elements of the exponential of a single operator M on Fock…

We show that the moduli spaces of stable sheaves on projective schemes admit certain non-commutative structures, which we call quasi NC structures, generalizing Kapranov's NC structures. The completion of our quasi NC structure at a closed…

We introduce a natural generalization of twisted maps, called \emph{warped maps}. While twisted maps play an important role in the study of Deligne--Mumford stacks, warped maps are better suited for studying Artin stacks. Heuristically,…

We consider the interplay of point counts, singular cohomology, \'etale cohomology, eigenvalues of the Frobenius and the Grothendieck ring of varieties for two families of varieties: spaces of rational maps and moduli spaces of marked,…

In this paper, we prove that for a regular polynomial endomorphism of positive degree on $\mathbb{P}^2$, a family of curves containing a Zariski dense set of periodic curves is invariant under some iterate of the endomorphism. The setting…

We consider maps between commutative groups and their functional degrees. These degrees are defined based on a simple idea -- the functional degree should decrease if a discrete derivative is taken. We show that the maps of finite…
