A moduli space of stable quotients of the rank n trivial sheaf on stable curves is introduced. Over nonsingular curves, the moduli space is Grothendieck's Quot scheme. Over nodal curves, a relative construction is made to keep the torsion…

As we explain, when a positive integer $n$ is not squarefree, even over $\mathbb{C}$ the moduli stack that parametrizes generalized elliptic curves equipped with an ample cyclic subgroup of order $n$ does not agree at the cusps with the…

Recently, D. Choi obtained a description of the coefficients of the infinite product expansions of meromorphic modular forms over $\Gamma_0(N)$. Using this result, we provide some bounds on these infinite product coefficients for…

Let (C, p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_n) be a general marked curve of genus g, and q_1, q_2, ..., q_n \in P^r be a general collection of points. We determine when there exists a nondegenerate degree d map f : C \to P^r so that f(p_i) = q_i for all i.…

Exact solution to many problems in mathematical physics and quantum field theory often can be expressed in terms of an algebraic curve equipped with a meromorphic differential. Typically, the geometry of the curve can be seen most clearly…

For a positive integer $N$, let $J_0(N)$ be the Jacobian of the modular curve $X_0(N)$. In this paper we completely determine the structure of the rational cuspidal subgroup of $J_0(N)$ when the largest perfect square dividing $N$ is either…
