We consider the volume entropy of closed flat surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$ and area 1. We show that a sequence of flat surfaces diverges in the moduli space if and only if the volume entropy converges to infinity. Equivalently the Hausdorff…

The O(3) sigma model and abelian Higgs model in two space dimensions admit topological (Bogomol'nyi) lower bounds on their energy. This paper proposes lattice versions of these systems which maintain the Bogomol'nyi bounds. One consequence…

The moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$ is (up to a finite \'etale cover) a complex manifold and so it makes sense to speak of its Dolbeault cohomological dimension. The conjecturally optimal bound is $g-2$. This expectation…

Topological vortices in relativistic gauge theories in flat three-dimensional spacetime are investigated. We consider the symmetry $\rm{U(1)}\times...\times \rm{U(1)}$, and for each $\rm{U(1)}$ subgroup, a complex scalar field transforming…

We review recent results on the BPS multi-wall solutions in supersymmetric U(N_C) gauge theories in five dimensions with N_F(>N_C) hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Total moduli space of the BPS non-Abelian walls is found…

In this note we give a brief review of the construction of a toric variety $\mathcal{V}$ coming from a genus $g \geq 2$ Riemann surface $\Sigma^g$ equipped with a trinion, or pair of pants, decomposition. This was outlined by J. Hurtubise…

Torelli space (in genus g) is the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces of genus g together with a symplectic basis of their first homology group. It is the quotient of the genus g Teichmuller space by the Torelli group T_g and is a…

We find the moduli space of multi-solitons in noncommutative scalar field theories at large theta, in arbitrary dimension. The existence of a non-trivial moduli space at leading order in 1/theta is a consequence of a Bogomolnyi bound obeyed…

The moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties with real structure and with level $N=4m$ structure (with $m \ge 1$) is shown to coincide with the set of real points of a quasi-projective algebraic variety defined over $\mathbb…

Let ${mathcal M}_g^n$ be the moduli space of n-pointed Riemann surfaces of genus g. Denote by ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_g^n$ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of ${mathcal M}_g^n$. In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the…

Recall that the moduli space of smooth (that is, stable) cubic curves is isomorphic to the quotient of the upper half plane by the group of fractional linear transformations with integer coefficients. We establish a similar result for…

In this article we calculate the dimension of the Hilbert space of Kahler quantization of the moduli space of vortices on a Riemann surface. This dimension is given by the holomorphic Euler characteristic of the quantum line bundle.

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $D \subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. Let $\mathcal{M}(r,d,\alpha)$ denote the moduli space of stable parabolic $G$-bundles (where $G$ is a complex orthogonal or symplectic…

We discuss the K\"ahler quantization of moduli spaces of vortices in line bundles over compact surfaces $\Sigma$. This furnishes a semiclassical framework for the study of quantum vortex dynamics in the Schr\"odinger-Chern-Simons model. We…

The dependence of the Virasoro-$N$-point function on the moduli of the Riemann surface is investigated. We propose an algebraic geometric approach that applies to any hyperelliptic Riemann surface.

This article investigates the dynamical behaviours of the $n$-vortex problem with vorticity $\mathbf{\Gamma}$ on a Riemann sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ equipped with an arbitrary metric $g$. From perspectives of Riemannian geometry and symplectic…

We study the moduli space of rank 0 semistable sheaves on some rational surfaces. We show the irreducibility and stable rationality of them under some conditions. We also compute several (virtual) Betti numbers of those moduli spaces by…

Effects of Lie type noncommutativity on thermodynamic properties of a system of free identical particles are investigated. A definition for finite volume of the configuration space is given, and the grandcanonical partition function in the…

We examine moduli spaces of locally homogeneous surfaces of Type~$\mathcal{B}$ with torsion where the symmetric Ricci tensor is non-degenerate. We also determine the space of affine Killing vector fields in this context.

Several issues concerning the self-dual solutions of the Chern-Simons-Higgs model are addressed. The topology of the configuration space of the model is analysed when the space manifold is either the plane or an infinite cylinder. We study…
