We use a graph to define a new stability condition for algebraic moduli spaces of rational curves. We characterize when the tropical compactification of the moduli space agrees with the theory of geometric tropicalization. The…

We construct a moduli space of stable pairs over a smooth projective variety, parametrizing morphisms from a fixed coherent sheaf to a varying sheaf of fixed topological type, subject to a stability condition. This generalizes the notion…

We sharpen our previous results on the g and n such that the moduli space of curves of genus g with n marked points is of general type.

This is the first in a pair of papers developing a framework for the application of logarithmic structures in the study of singular curves of genus $1$. We construct a smooth and proper moduli space dominating the main component of…

We show that every smooth toric variety (and many other algebraic spaces as well) can be realized as a moduli space for smooth, projective, polarized varieties. Some of these are not quasi--projective. This contradicts a recent paper…

It is shown that moduli spaces of complete families of compact complex hypersurfaces in complex manifolds often come equipped canonically with projective structures satisfying some natural integrability conditions.

A holomorphic triple over a compact Riemann surface consists of two holomorphic vector bundles and a holomorphic map between them. After fixing the topological types of the bundles and a real parameter, there exist moduli spaces of stable…

We prove a general criterion for an algebraic stack to admit a good moduli space. This result may be considered as a weak analog of the Keel-Mori theorem, which guarantees the existence of a coarse moduli space for a separated…

We discuss some examples of geometrically meaningful rational self-maps of moduli space of curves of low genus and homogeneous forms.

We relate the theory of moduli spaces $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,\mathcal{A}}$ of stable weighted curves of genus $0$ to the equivariant topology of complex Grassmann manifolds $G_{n,2}$, with the canonical action of the compact torus…

We study compactifications of the moduli space of a plane cubic curve marked by \(n\) labeled points up to projective equivalence via Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). Specifically, we provide a complete description of the GIT walls and…

Let $C$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve defined over $\mathbb{R}$ such that $C(\mathbb{R}) = \emptyset$. Let $r>0$ and $d$ be integers which are coprime. Let $L$ be a line bundle on $C$ which corresponds to an…

Projective duality identifies the moduli spaces $\mathbf{B}_n$ and $\mathbf{X}(3,n)$ parametrizing linearly general configurations of $n$ points in $\mathbb{P}^2$ and $n$ lines in the dual $\mathbb{P}^2$, respectively. The space…

We prove moduli spaces of semistable parabolic bundles and generalized parabolic sheaves with fixed determinant on a smooth projective curve are globally $F$-regular type.

The moduli space $\mathcal{S}_{g, 2n}$ parametrizes pointed curves with spin structure. We prove that $\mathcal{S}_{g, 2}$, $\mathcal{S}_{g, 4}$ and $\mathcal{S}_{g, 6}$ are uniruled for particular values of $g$.

On a polarised surface, solutions of the Vafa-Witten equations correspond to certain polystable Higgs pairs. When stability and semistability coincide, the moduli space admits a symmetric obstruction theory and a $\mathbb C^*$ action with…

In this article, we study the smoothness of the moduli space of finite quiver vector bundles over the smooth complex projective curves.

We construct a new compactification of the moduli space of maps from pointed nonsingular projective stable curves to a nonsingular projective variety with prescribed ramification indices at the points. It is shown to be a proper…

Families of stable curves of genus $\gamma$ over a smooth curve $C$ correspond to morphisms from $C$ to the moduli stack of stable curves $\bar{\cal M}_\gamma$. It is natural to compactify the corresponding moduli problem using stable maps…
