In this note we extend the concept height on projective spaces to that of weighted height on weighted projective spaces and show how such a height can be computed. We prove some of the basic properties of the weighted height and show how it…

We present a proof of Thue-Siegel-Roth's Theorem (and its more recent variants, such as those of Lang for number fields and that "with moving targets" of Vojta) as an application of Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). Roth's Theorem is…

Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) produces quotients of algebraic varieties by reductive groups. If the variety is projective, this quotient depends on a choice of polarisation; by work of Dolgachev-Hu and Thaddeus, it is known that two…

We investigate local and global weighted heights a-la Weil for weighted projective spaces via Cartier and Weil divisors and extend the definition of weighted heights on weighted projective spaces from arXiv:1902.06563 to weighted varieties…

We present a Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) construction which allows us to construct good projective degenerations of Hilbert schemes of points for simple degenerations. A comparison with the construction of Li and Wu shows that our GIT…

For a smooth, projective complex variety, we introduce several mixed Hodge structures associated to higher algebraic cycles. Most notably, we introduce a mixed Hodge structure for a pair of higher cycles which are in the refined normalized…

In this paper we study heights on quotient varieties in the sense of Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). We generalise a construction of Burnol and we generalise diverse lower bounds of the height of semi-stable points due to Bost, Zhang,…

The wall-and-chamber structure of the dependence of the reductive GIT quotient on the choice of linearisation is well known. In this article, we first give a brief survey of recent results in non-reductive GIT, which apply when the…

This is an expository paper in which we define projective GIT quotients and introduce toric varieties from this perspective. It is intended primarily for readers who are learning either invariant theory or toric geometry for the first time.

We study the Griffiths heights associated to the middle-dimensional cohomology of pencils of projective hypersurfaces, by comparing them to heights defined by means of geometric invariant theory (GIT). Kato and Koshikawa have conjectured a…

We use geometric invariant theory (GIT) to construct a large class of compactifications of the moduli space M_{0,n}. These compactifications include many previously known examples, as well as many new ones. As a consequence of our GIT…

We expose in detail the principle that the relative geometric invariant theory of equivariant morphisms is related to the GIT for linearizations near the boundary of the $G$-effective ample cone. We then apply this principle to construct…

Let $K$ be a number field, $\OK$ be its ring of integers. We introduce the notion of compactified representation of $GL_N(\OK)$ and, we see how to associate to a hermitian vector bundle $\E$ over $\Spec(\OK)$ and a compactified…

We survey the role played by GIT in the study of moduli spaces, with an emphasis on the birational geometry of GIT quotients.

This survey intends to present the basic notions of Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) through its paradigmatic application in the construction of the moduli space of holomorphic vector bundles. Special attention is paid to the notion of…

We provide a geometric-combinatorial model for the category of coherent sheaves on the weighted projective line of type (2,2,n) via a cylindrical surface with n marked points on each of its upper and lower boundaries, equipped with an order…

We suggest to endow Mumford's GIT quotient scheme with a stack structure, by replacing Proj(-) of the invariant ring with its stack theoretic analogue. We analyse the stacks resulting in this way from classically studied invariant rings,…

This is an expository article on the techniques of quantization as they are applied to Gromov-Witten theory and related areas.

For any finite group $G$, the equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of $[\mathbb{C}^r/G]$ can be viewed as a certain twisted Gromov-Witten invariants of the classifying stack $\mathcal{B} G$. In this paper, we use Tseng's orbifold quantum…

We introduce the graded bialgebra deformations, which explain Andruskiewitsch-Schneider's liftings method. We also relate this graded bialgebra deformation with the corresponding graded bialgebra cohomology groups, which is the graded…
