In characteristic zero, we construct a canonical, functorial resolution algorithm by weighted blow-ups that strictly preserves the normal crossings (nc) locus, effectively answering Kollar's problem. Operating in full generality, our…
Given a complex smooth algebraic variety X, we compute the generating function of the stringy motives of its symmetric powers as a function of motive of X. In dimension two we recover the Goettsche formulas for Hilbert schemes. We use the…
We compute the Chow rings with integral coefficients of moduli stacks of minimal Weierstrass fibrations over the projective line. For each integer $N\geq 1$, there is a moduli stack $\mathcal{W}^{\mathrm{min}}_N$ parametrizing minimal…
We derive explicit expressions for the generating functions of refined Vafa-Witten invariants $\Omega(\gamma,y)$ of $\mathbb{P}^2$ of arbitrary rank $N$ and for their non-holomorphic modular completions. In the course of derivation we also…
For a simple normal crossing variety $X$, we introduce the concepts of prelog Chow ring, saturated prelog Chow group, as well as their counterparts for numerical equivalence. Thinking of $X$ as the central fibre in a (strictly) semistable…
In this paper we study properties of the Chow ring of rational homogeneous varieties of classical type, more concretely, effective zero divisors of low codimension, and a related invariant called effective good divisibility. This…
We study a family of polynomials whose values express degrees of Schubert varieties in the generalized complex flag manifold G/B. The polynomials are given by weighted sums over saturated chains in the Bruhat order. We derive several…
Our previous papers introduce topological notions of normal crossings symplectic divisor and variety, show that they are equivalent, in a suitable sense, to the corresponding geometric notions, and establish a topological smoothability…
We generalize the construction of a moduli space of semistable pairs parametrizing isomorphism classes of morphisms from a fixed coherent sheaf to any sheaf with fixed Hilbert polynomial under a notion of stability to the case of projective…
Suppose that f:V->W is an embedding of closed oriented manifolds whose normal bundle has the structure of a complex vector bundle. It is well known in both complex and symplectic geometry that one can then construct a manifold W' which is…
We characterize all fields of definition for a given coherent sheaf over a projective scheme in terms of projective modules over a finite-dimensional endomorphism algebra. This yields general results on the essential dimension of such…
In this note we calculate elliptic genus in various examples of twisted chiral de Rham complex on two dimensional toric compact manifolds and Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric manifolds. At first the elliptic genus is calculated for the…
We compute the integral Chow ring of the quotient stack $[(\mathbb{P}^1)^n/PGL_2]$, which contains $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$ as a dense open, and determine a natural $\mathbb{Z}$-basis for the Chow ring in terms of certain ordered incidence…
For a toric Deligne-Mumford (DM) stack, we can consider a certain generalization of the Frobenius endomorphism. For such an endomorphism on a two-dimensional toric DM stack, we show that the push-forward of the structure sheaf generates the…
In the first part of the paper, we give an explicit algorithm to compute the (genus zero) Gromov-Witten invariants of blow-ups of an arbitrary convex projective variety in some points if one knows the Gromov-Witten invariants of the…
Let $f : X \rightarrow B$ be a proper flat dominant morphism between two smooth quasi-projective complex varieties $X$ and $B$. Assume that there exists an integer $l$ such that all closed fibres $X_b$ of $f$ satisfy $CH_j(X_b) = \Q$ for…
We derive Glynn's formula from Ryser's formula for the permanent. We further establish via an orbital argument that Glynn's formula yields an optimal row-homogeneous Chow-decomposition of the permanent. We introduce a method for…
Open-closed Deligne--Mumford field theories are chain-level field theories based on moduli spaces of stable curves with boundary. We associate to a relatively spin embedded Lagrangian $L \subset (X,\omega)$ such an open-closed DMFT. It…
The enumerative geometry of r-th roots of line bundles is the subject of Witten's conjecture and occurs in the calculation of Gromov-Witten invariants of orbifolds. It requires the definition of the suitable compact moduli stack and the…
In this paper we introduce the stack of polarized twisted conics and we use it to give a new point of view on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_2$. In particular, we present a new and independent approach to the computation of the integral Chow ring…
