Let $M$ be a complete nonsingular fine moduli space of modules over an algebra $S$. A set of conditions is given for the Chow ring of $M$ to be generated by the Chern classes of certain universal bundles occurring in a projective resolution…

In the moduli space $\mathcal{R}_g$ of double \'etale covers of curves of a fixed genus $g$, the locus of covers of curves with a semicanonical pencil decomposes as the union of two divisors $\mathcal{T}^e_g$ and $\mathcal{T}^o_g$. Adapting…

We describe the Chow rings of moduli spaces of ordered configurations of points on the projective line for arbitrary (sufficiently generic) stabilities. As an application, we exhibit such a moduli space admitting two small…

For every fixed genus $g\geq 1$, we consider all quadruples $Q=(w_0,w_1,w_2,d)\in\mathbb{Z}^4_{>0}$ with the property that any smooth degree-$d$ curve embedded in the weighted projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2(w_0,w_1,w_2)$ has genus $g$. We…

We study Shimura curves of PEL type in the space of polarised abelian varieties $A^{\delta}_p$ generically contained in the ramified Prym locus. We generalise to ramified double covers, the construction done in [10] in the unramified case…

In this paper we determine the structure of the Chow ring of the Delaunay-Voronoi compactification $\tilde{\cal A}_3$ of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian threefolds. This compactification was introduced by Namikawa and…

Given the Prym variety of an \'etale double cover one can define analogues of the classical Brill-Noether loci on Jacobians of curves. Recent work by Lahoz and Naranjo shows that the Brill-Noether locus $V^2$ completely determines the…

We construct positive-genus analogues of Welschinger's invariants for many real symplectic manifolds, including the odd-dimensional projective spaces and the renowned quintic threefold. In some cases, our invariants provide lower bounds for…

We study BPS states which arise in compactifications of M-theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds. In particular, we are interested in the spectrum of the particles obtained by wrapping M2-brane on a two-cycle in the CY manifold X. We compute the…

This article investigates the Hodge theory of the moduli space of genus $g$ curves with $n$ marked points, establishing new connections between Schur-Weyl duality for $\mathfrak{sp}_{g}$ and higher Abel-Jacobi invariants. We develop a…

The original proof of the Gromov's non-squeezing theorem [Gro85] is based on pseudo-holomorphic curves. The central ingredient is the compactness of the moduli space of pseudo-holomorphic spheres in the symplectic manifold…

In this paper we compute the integral Chow ring of the moduli stack $\mathcal{R}_2$ of Prym pairs of genus 2 with integral coefficients.

We prove a new system of relations in the tautological ring of the moduli space of curves involving stable rooted trees with level structure decorated by the top Chern class of the Hodge bundle and $\Omega$-classes and double ramification…

We define the logarithmic tautological rings of the moduli spaces of Deligne-Mumford stable curves (together with a set of additive generators lifting the decorated strata classes of the standard tautological rings). While these algebras…

Let $G$ be a simple simply-connected connected linear algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$. We proved a $2$-birational Torelli theorem for the moduli space of semistable principal $G$-bundles over a smooth curve of genus $\geq 3$, which says…

We prove that the ramified Prym map $\mathcal P_{g, r}$ which sends a covering $\pi:D\longrightarrow C$ ramified in $r$ points to the Prym variety $P(\pi):=\text{Ker}(\text{Nm}_{\pi})$ is an embedding for all $r\ge 6$ and for all $g(C)>0$.…

Let U be a smooth quasi-projective variety over a field k that is finite, the algebraic closure of a finite field or algebraically closed of characteristic 0. Let X be a suitable projective compactification of U, and D an effective divisor…

In this paper for each $n\ge g\ge 0$ we consider the moduli stack $\widetilde{\mathcal U}^{ns}_{g,n}$ of curves $(C,p_1,\ldots,p_n,v_1,\ldots,v_n)$ of arithmetic genus $g$ with $n$ smooth marked points $p_i$ and nonzero tangent vectors…

We examine the logarithmic Gromov-Witten cycles of a toric variety relative to its full toric boundary. The cycles are expressed as products of double ramification cycles and natural tautological classes in the logarithmic Chow ring of the…

We compute the rational cohomology ring of \bar R_2, the (compactified) moduli space of Prym curves of genus 2. We also recompute the rational cohomology ring of \bar S_2, the moduli space of spin curves of genus 2, thereby correcting some…
