In this paper we determine the group of rational automorphisms of binary cubic and quartic forms with integer coefficients and non-zero discriminant in terms of certain quadratic covariants of cubic and quartic forms. This allows one to…
A Fano problem is an enumerative problem of counting $r$-dimensional linear subspaces on a complete intersection in $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a field of arbitrary characteristic, whenever the corresponding Fano scheme is finite. A classical…
A question of Griffiths-Schmid asks when the monodromy group of an algebraic family of complex varieties is arithmetic. We resolve this in the affirmative for the class of algebraic surfaces known as Atiyah-Kodaira manifolds, which have…
This paper provides some technical results needed in "Formalism for Relative Gromov-Witten Invariants." We study line-bundles on the moduli stacks of relative stable and rubber maps that are used to define relative Gromov-Witten invariants…
First we give a complex ball uniformization of the moduli space of 8 ordered points on the projective line by using the theory of periods of K3 surfaces. Next we give a projective model of this moduli space by using automorphic forms on a…
The monodromy group is an invariant for parameterized systems of polynomial equations that encodes structure of the solutions over the parameter space. Since the structure of real solutions over real parameter spaces are of interest in many…
For every field $k$ of characteristic zero, we determine the groups that act as automorphisms on a smooth cubic surface over $k$. We also determine the groups that act on $k$-rational, stably $k$-rational, or $k$-unirational smooth cubic…
We introduce moduli spaces of colored graphs, defined as spaces of non-degenerate metrics on certain families of edge-colored graphs. Apart from fixing the rank and number of legs these families are determined by various conditions on the…
We give an explicit presentation of the integral Chow ring of a stack of smooth plane cubics. We also determine some relations in the general case of hypersurfaces of any dimension and degree.
We introduce local invariants of algebraic spaces and stacks which measure how far they are from being a scheme. Using these invariants, we develop mostly topological criteria to determine when the moduli space of a stack is a scheme. As an…
We study systems involving vector bundles and logarithmic connections on Riemann surfaces and linear algebra data linking their residues. This generalizes representations of deformed preprojective algebras. Our main result is the existence…
The variations of Hodge structures of weight one associated to square-tiled surfaces naturally generate interesting subgroups of integral symplectic matrices called Kontsevich--Zorich monodromies. In this paper, we show that arithmetic…
We will define and study (moduli) spaces of deformations of irregular classes on Riemann surfaces, which provide an intrinsic viewpoint on the `times' of irregular isomonodromy systems in general. Our aim is to study the deeper…
The moduli space of cubic surfaces in complex projective space is known to be isomorphic to the quotient of the complex 4-ball by a certain arithmetic group. We apply Borcherds' techniques to construct automorphic forms for this group and…
This paper is a sequel to [He7]. There a notion of marking of isolated hypersurface singularities was defined, and a moduli space $M_\mu^{mar}$ for marked singularities in one $\mu$-homotopy class of isolated hypersurface singularities was…
Let X be a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve over a field k. We describe the algebra of endomorphisms of indecomposable unstable vector bundles over X of rank 2 and degree d. Fixing some numerical invariants, namely the…
Oda's problem, which deals with the fixed field of the universal monodromy representation of moduli spaces of curves and its independence with respect to the topological data, is a central question of anabelian arithmetic geometry. This…
Moduli of vector bundles on stacky curves behave similarly to moduli of vector bundles on curves, except there are additional numerical invariants giving many different notions of stability. We apply the existence criterion for good moduli…
We study the moduli spaces which classify smooth surfaces along with a complex line bundle. There are homological stability and Madsen--Weiss type results for these spaces (mostly due to Cohen and Madsen), and we discuss the cohomological…
The geometry of the moduli space of stable spin curves is studied, with emphasis on its combinatorial properties. In this context, the standard graph theoretic framework is not just a book-keeping device: some purely combinatorial results…
