This paper is the first in a series of four papers aiming to describe the (almost integral) Chow ring of $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_3$, the moduli stack of stable curves of genus $3$. In this paper, we introduce the moduli stack…

Models of cylinders in the oscillatory flow can be found virtually everywhere in the marine industry, such as pump towers experiencing sloshing load in a LNG ship liquid tank. However, compared to the problem of a cylinder in the uniform…

We establish the minimal model theory for normal pairs along log canonical locus in the complex analytic setting. This is the complex analytic analog of the previous result by the author.

We show that if the rotation set of a homeomorphism of the torus is stable under small perturbations of the dynamics, then it is a convex polygon with rational vertices. We also show that such homeomorphisms are $C^0$-generic and have…

We define a geometrically meaningful compactification of the moduli space of smooth plane curves, which can be calculated explicitly. The basic idea is to regard a plane curve D in P^2 as a pair (P^2,D) of a surface together with a divisor,…

We construct a smooth algebraic stack of tuples consisting of genus two nodal curves, simple effective divisors away from the nodes, and twisted fields. It provides a desingularization of the moduli of genus two stable maps to projective…

We formulate a stable reduction conjecture that extends Deligne-Mumford's stable reduction to higher dimensions and provide a simple proof that it holds in large characteristic, assuming two standard conjectures of the Minimal Model…

We study the stable behaviour of discrete dynamical systems where the map is convex and monotone with respect to the standard positive cone. The notion of tangential stability for fixed points and periodic points is introduced, which is…

We study compact stable embedded minimal surfaces whose boundary is given by two collections of closed smooth Jordan curves in close planes of Euclidean 3-space. Our main result is a classification of these minimal surfaces, under certain…

Semi-log canonical varieties are a higher-dimensional analogue of stable curves. They are the varieties appearing as the boundary $\Delta$ of a log canonical pair $(X,\Delta)$, and also appear as limits of canonically polarized varieties in…

We investigate the evaporation of a two-dimensional droplet on a solid surface. The solid is flat but with smooth chemical variations that lead to a space-dependent local contact angle. We perform a detailed bifurcation analysis of the…

We describe the final log canonical model of the moduli space of stable curves of genus four. We prove that the rational map from $\bar{M}_4$ to this model contracts the Petri and the boundary divisors and flips the hyperelliptic locus. As…

We develop a stability theory for contractive local IFSs on compact metric spaces. Unlike the classical global setting, local systems may exhibit a richer symbolic and geometric structure, including code spaces that are not of finite type…

We study the full stable pair theory --- with descendents --- of the Calabi-Yau 3-fold $X=K_S$, where $S$ is a surface with a smooth canonical divisor $C$. By both $\mathbb C^*$-localisation and cosection localisation we reduce to stable…

The aim of this paper is to study all the natural first steps of the minimal model program for the moduli space of stable pointed curves. We prove that they admit a modular interpretation and we study their geometric properties. As a…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathrm{R}^2$, and let $\mathrm{DT}(P)$ denote its Euclidean Delaunay triangulation. We introduce the notion of an edge of $\mathrm{DT}(P)$ being {\it stable}. Defined in terms of a parameter $\alpha>0$, a…

Using pagoda flop transitions between smooth projective threefolds, a relation is derived between the Euler numbers of moduli spaces of stable pairs which are scheme-theoretically supported on a fixed singular space curve and Euler numbers…

We provide a geometric construction of a sequence of modular blowups of the Artin stack parameterizing pre-stable pairs consisting of a genus-two nodal curve and a smooth divisor. The resulting stack locally diagonalizes the tautological…

We investigate the emergence of complex dynamics in a system of coupled dissipative kicked rotors and show that critical transitions can be understood via bifurcations of simple states. We study multistability and bifurcations in the single…

The existence and dynamical role of particular unstable Navier-Stokes solutions (exact coherent structures) is revealed in laboratory studies of weak turbulence in a thin, electromagnetically-driven fluid layer. We find that the dynamics…
