Moduli spaces of bounded local $G$-shtukas are a group-theoretic generalization of the function field analog of Rapoport and Zink's moduli spaces of $p$-divisible groups. In this article we generalize some very prominent concepts in the…
We define and study "tautological classes" in the cohomology of moduli stacks of shtukas, pursuing two directions of applications. First, we prove a formula relating the "arithmetic volume" of tautological classes to higher derivatives of…
We construct integral models for moduli spaces of shtukas with deep Bruhat-Tits level structures. We embed the moduli space of global shtukas for a deep Bruhat-Tits group scheme into the limit of the moduli spaces of shtukas for all…
For arbitrary reductive groups $G$ defined over a finite field, we decompose Newton strata in the special fiber of moduli spaces of global $G$-shtukas into a product of Rapoport-Zink spaces and Igusa varieties. This allows us to compare the…
This article provides a ``local'' complementary to the previous results concerning the local models for the moduli stacks of ``global'' $G$-shtukas. Here we study the geometry of Rapoport-Zink spaces for local $P$-shtukas by constructing…
This informal note provides some elementary examples to motivate the local structural results of [1] on the moduli space of genus one stable maps to projective space. The hope is that these examples will be helpful for graduate students to…
The Langlands Program was launched in the late 60s with the goal of relating Galois representations and automorphic forms. In recent years a geometric version has been developed which leads to a mysterious duality between certain categories…
This is the second in a sequence of articles, in which we explore moduli stacks of global G-shtukas, the function field analogs for Shimura varieties. Here G is a flat affine group scheme of finite type over a smooth projective curve C over…
In these lecture notes, we provide an introduction to the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, a fundamental concept in the theories of 2D quantum gravity, topological string theory, and matrix models. We begin by reviewing some basic results…
These notes have been prepared as reading material for the mini-course given by the author at the "2019 Graduate Summer School" at Park City Mathematics Institute - Institute for Advanced Study. We begin by introducing Higgs bundles and…
The purpose of this paper is to survey some of the important results on Langlands program, global fields, $D$-shtukas and finite shtukas which have influenced the development of algebra and number theory. It is intended to be selective…
We define Drinfeld level structures for Drinfeld shtukas of any rank and show that their moduli spaces are regular and admit finite flat level maps. In particular, the moduli spaces of Drinfeld shtukas with Drinfeld…
We define etale cohomology of the moduli spaces of mixed characteristic local shtukas so that it gives smooth representations including the case where the relevant elements of the Kottwitz set are both non-basic. Then we relate the etale…
This survey discusses hyperbolicity properties of moduli stacks and generalisations of the Shafarevich Hyperbolicity Conjecture to higher dimensions. It concentrates on methods and results that relate moduli theory with recent progress in…
Motivated by the question of constructing certain rational functions (modular units) on the moduli stack of Drinfeld shtukas, we introduce the notion of toy shtukas. We prove basic properties of the moduli scheme of toy shtukas. Analogously…
This is an informal set of lecture notes on moduli spaces of curves based on a set of lectures given at the ICTP last summer. It begins at an elementary level and discusses the genus 1 case in detail. The notes then give an informal…
We introduce the notion of modular forms, focusing primarily on the group PSL2Z. We further introduce quasi-modular forms, as wel as discuss their relation to physics and their applications in a variety of enumerative problems. These notes…
This survey provides an introduction to basic questions and techniques surrounding the topology of the moduli space of stable Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface. Through examples, we demonstrate how the structure of the cohomology ring of…
These informal notes are an expanded version of lectures on the moduli space of elliptic curves given at Zhejiang University in July, 2008. Their goal is to introduce and motivate basic concepts and constructions (such as orbifolds and…
