We study pairs of finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain and their corresponding matrix representations. We introduce equivalence relations for such pairs and determine invariants and canonical forms.

The purpose of these notes is to give an introduction to Deligne-Mumford stacks and their moduli spaces, with emphasis on the moduli problem for curves. The paper has 4 sections. In section 1 we discuss the general problem of constructing a…

Let $g$ be a principal modulus with rational Fourier coefficients for a discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ between $\Gamma(N)$ or $\Gamma_0(N)^\dag$ for a positive integer $N$. Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field. We give…

We construct a moduli space of polarised manifolds which admit a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric. We show that this space admits a natural K\"ahler metric.

We give a geometrical characterization of the ideal of quadrics containing a canonical curve with an involution. This implies to study involutions of rational normal scrolls and Veronese surfaces.

A class of Cantor-type spaces and related geometric structures are discussed.

An introduction to moduli spaces of representations of quivers is given, and results on their global geometric properties are surveyed. In particular, the geometric approach to the problem of classification of quiver representations is…

A new class of integrable mappings and chains is introduced. Corresponding $(1+2)$ integrable systems invariant with respect to such discrete transformations are presented in an explicit form. Their soliton-type solutions are constructed in…

We construct (in significant generality) moduli spaces representing the functor of morphisms from a scheme into a solvable algebraic group.

We introduce the main concepts and announce the main results in a theory of tensor products for module categories for a vertex operator algebra. This theory is being developed in a series of papers including hep-th 9309076 and hep-th…

We consider the space of germs of Fedosov structures at a point, together with the group of origin-preserving diffeomorphisms acting on it. We calculate dimensions of moduli spaces of $k$-jets of generic structures and construct Poincar\'e…

We construct minimal smooth models of coarse moduli schemes of rational Drinfeld modules of rank 4 as well as their smooth compactifications.

These expository notes are based on a series of lectures given at the May 2018 Snowbird workshop, Crossing the Walls in Enumerative Geometry. We give an introductory treatment of the notion of a virtual fundamental class in algebraic…

We associate canonical virtual motives to definable sets over a field of characteristic zero. We use this construction to show that very general p-adic integrals are canonically interpolated by motivic ones.

We explore methods for constructing normal forms of indecomposable quiver representations. The first part of the paper develops homological tools for recursively constructing families of indecomposable representations from indecomposables…

The stable rationality of components of the moduli space of (unparametrized) rational curves in projective $n$-space with fixed normal bundle is proved, provided these components dominate the moduli space of immersed rational curves in the…

In this paper we compute the discrete fundamental groups of warped cones. As an immediate consequence, this allows us to show that there exist coarsely simply-connected expanders and superexpanders. This also provides a strong coarse…

We define kappa classes on moduli spaces of KSBA stable varieties and pairs, generalizing the Miller-Morita-Mumford classes on moduli of curves, and compute them in some cases where the virtual fundamental class is known to exist, including…

We shall prove that a moduli space of flat irreducible Lie algebroid connections over a compact manifold has locally a natural structure of a smooth differentiable space. This is a generalization of some well known results for the moduli…

Given a generically smooth stable curve over a discrete valuation ring such that its special fibre is irreducible with one double point, we construct a moduli stack over that descrete valuation ring which is a model for the moduli stack of…
