We define graded hyper-algebras of vector-valued Siegel modular forms, which allow us to study tensor products of the latter. We also define vector-valued Hecke operators for Siegel modular forms at all places of ${\mathbb Q}$, acting on…

We show how the tangent bundle decomposition generated by a system of ordinary differential equations may be generalized to the case of a system of second order PDEs `of connection type'. Whereas for ODEs the decomposition is intrinsic, for…

This article lays the foundations for the study of modular forms transforming with respect to representations of Fuchsian groups of genus zero. More precisely, we define geometrically weighted graded modules of such modular forms, where the…

We recall first the analytic theory of the Hilbert modular varieties of level $\Gamma_1(\mathfrak{c},\mathfrak{n})$ and their compactifications. We construct arithmetic toroidal compactifications of the universal Hilbert-Blumenthal abelian…

This is the second paper in a series of papers aimed at providing a geometric construction of modular functors and topological quantum field theories from conformal field theory building on the constructions in [TUY] and [KNTY]. We give a…

Runge's method is a tool to figure out integral points on curves effectively in terms of height. This method has been generalised to varieties of any dimension, unfortunately its conditions of application are often too restrictive. In this…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ over the complex numbers. Fix $n\geq 2$, and an integer $d$. A pair $(E,\phi)$ over $X$ consists of an algebraic vector bundle $E$ of rank $n$ and degree $d$ over $X$ and a section…

We compute some Hodge and Betti numbers of the moduli space of stable rank $r$ degree $d$ vector bundles on a smooth projective curve. We do not assume $r$ and $d$ are coprime. In the process we equip the cohomology of an arbitrary…

This article is based in part on lecture notes prepared for the summer school "The Geometry, Topology and Physics of Moduli Spaces of Higgs Bundles" at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore in July…

We study the motive of the moduli spaces of semistable rank two vector bundles over an algebraic curve. When the degree is odd the moduli space is a smooth projective variety, we obtain the absolute Hodge motive of this, and in particular…

We study properties of the module of vector fields tangent to a given germ of curve in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}^{2}$. As a consequence, we obtain a conjectural algorithm to compute the generic dimension of its moduli space. For some…

This paper studies modular forms of rank four and level one. There are two possiblities for the isomorphism type of the space of modular forms that can arise from an irreducible representation of the modular group of rank four, and we…

Computing the cohomology of the tensor product of two vector bundles is central in the study of their moduli spaces and in applications to representation theory, combinatorics and physics. These computations play a fundamental role in the…

We study the curvature of the moduli space M_g of curves of genus g with the Siegel metric induced by the period map. We give an explicit formula for the holomorphic sectional curvature of M_g along a Schiffer variation at a point P on the…

In this survey, we review recent developments in extending Hodge theory to differential forms with values in bundles equipped with singular metrics, based on joint work with Ya Deng, Christopher D. Hacon, and Mihai P\u{a}un.

We bound from below the complexity of the top Chern class of the Hodge bundle in the Chow ring of the moduli space of curves: no formulas in terms of classes of degrees 1 and 2 can exist. As a consequence of the Torelli map, the 0-section…

We classify the three-dimensional representations of the modular group that are reducible but indecomposable, and their associated spaces of holomorphic vector-valued modular forms. We then demonstrate how such representations may be…

Let SU_X(n,L) be the moduli space of rank n semistable vector bundles with fixed determinant L on a smooth projective genus g>1 curve X. Let SU_X^s(n,L) denote the open subset parameterizing stable bundles. We show that for small i, the…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $2$. Following a method by O' Grady, we construct a semismall desingularization $\tilde{\mathcal{M}}_{Dol}^G$ of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{Dol}^G$ of semistable $G$-Higgs bundles of degree…

We calculate the Euler characteristics of all of the Teichmuller curves in the moduli space of genus two Riemann surfaces which are generated by holomorphic one-forms with a single double zero. These curves can all be embedded in Hilbert…
