Let the complex reflection group $G(m,p,n)$ act on the unit polydisc $\mathbb D^n$ in $\mathbb C^n.$ A $\boldsymbol\Theta_n$-contraction is a commuting tuple of operators on a Hilbert space having…
Consider an algebraic action of a connected complex reductive algebraic group on a complex polarized projective variety. In this paper, we first introduce the nilpotent quotient, the quotient of the polarized projective variety by a maximal…
The theory of $\Theta$-stratifications generalizes a classical stratification of the moduli of vector bundles on a smooth curve, the Harder-Narasimhan-Shatz stratification, to any moduli problem that can be represented by an algebraic…
Motivated by the study of invariant rings of finite groups on the first Weyl algebras $A_{1}$ (\cite{AHV}) and finding interesting families of new noetherian rings, a class of algebras similar to $U(sl_{2})$ were introduced and studied by…
We build actions of Thompson group V (related to the Cantor set) and of the so-called "spheromorphism" group of Neretin, on "towers" of moduli spaces of genus zero real stable curves. The latter consist of inductive limits of spaces which…
In this article we show that the quotient of the Lubin-Tate space at infinite level by the Borel subgroup of upper triangular matrices in GL(2,Q_p) exists as a perfectoid space. As an application we show that Scholze's functor…
We prove a homological stabilization theorem for Hurwitz spaces: moduli spaces of branched covers of the complex projective line. This has the following arithmetic consequence: let l>2 be prime and A a finite abelian l-group. Then there…
In previous work, we defined certain virtual fundamental classes for special cycles on the moduli stack of Hermitian shtukas, and related them to the higher derivatives of non-singular Fourier coefficients of Siegel-Eisenstein series. In…
Motivated by constructing moduli spaces of unstable objects, we use new ideas in non-reductive GIT to construct quotients by parabolic group actions. For moduli problems with semistable moduli spaces constructed by reductive GIT, we…
Given an infinite reductive group G acting on an affine scheme X over C and a Hilbert function h: Irr G \to N_0, we construct the moduli space M_{\theta}(X) of \theta-stable (G,h)-constellations on X, which is a generalization of the…
We consider geometric invariant theory for \emph{graded additive groups}, groups of the form $\mathbb{G}_a^r\rtimes_w\mathbb{G}_m$ such that the $\mathbb{G}_m$-action on $\mathbb{G}_a^r$ is a scalar multiplication with weight…
Let $U$ be a maximal unipotent subgroup of a connected semisimple group $G$ and $U'$ the derived group of $U$. If $X$ is an affine $G$-variety, then the algebra of $U'$-invariants, $k[X]^U'$, is finitely generated and the quotient morphism…
The Stone-von Neumann Theorem is a fundamental result which unified the competing quantum mechanical models of matrix mechanics and wave mechanics. It's mechanism of proof ultimately involved the study of unitary group representations on a…
We prove (by a case-by-case analysis) a conjecture of Bernstein/Schwarzman to the effect that quotients of abelian varieties by suitable actions of (complex) reflection groups are weighted projective spaces, and show that this remains true…
For any connected complex reductive group $G$ and element $z$ of its Weyl group $W$, we use work of Lusztig and Abreu-Nigro to compute the graded $W$-character of the intersection cohomology of any closed Lusztig variety for $z$ over the…
The aim of this paper is to show that classical geometric invariant theory (GIT) has an effective analogue for linear actions of a non-reductive algebraic group $H$ with graded unipotent radical on a projective scheme $X$. Here the linear…
Building on To\"en's work on affine stacks, we develop a certain homotopy theory for schemes, which we call "unipotent homotopy theory." Over a field of characteristic $p>0$, we prove that the unipotent homotopy group schemes…
We extend the methods of geometric invariant theory to actions of non--reductive groups in the case of homomorphisms between decomposable sheaves whose automorphism groups are non--reductive. Given a linearization of the natural action of…
In [11] the authors investigated a family of quotient Hilbert modules in the Cowen-Douglas class over the unit disk constructed from classical Hilbert modules such as the Hardy and Bergman modules. In this paper we extend the results to the…
In this survey we provide an overview of some recent developments in the construction of moduli spaces using stack-theoretic techniques. We will also explain the analogue of Harder-Narasimhan stratifications for general stacks, known as…
