A basis for the space of generalized theta functions of level one for the spin groups, parameterized by the theta characteristics (the even theta characteristcs for the odd spin groups) on a curve, is shown to be projectively flat over the…
Over a smooth complex projective curve $C$ of genus $g$ let $\M (n,d)$ be the moduli space of semistable bundles of rank $n$ and degree $d$ on $C$, and $\SM (n,L)$, the moduli space of those bundles whose determinant is isomorphic to a…
The main aim of this paper is to develop general algebraic and cohomological tools for the study of the local geometry of moduli and parameter spaces in Algebraic Geometry, culminating in the so-called Hitchin (or KZ) (projective)…
In an earlier paper [Acta Mathematica, v. 176, 1996, 145-169, alg-geom/9505024 ] the present authors and Dennis Sullivan constructed the universal direct system of the classical Teichm\"uller spaces of Riemann surfaces of varying genus. The…
S. Axelrod and I.M. Singer constructed a compactification of the configuration space of distinct points in a Riemannian manifold V. A similar compactification for the moduli space of configurations of distinct points in the plane (mod the…
In this paper we establish the relationships between theta functions of arbitrary order and their derivatives. We generalize our previous work math.AG/0310085 and prove that for any n>1 the map sending an abelian variety to the set of Gauss…
We establish a general version of the Siegel-Sternberg linearization theorem for ultradiffentiable maps which includes the analytic case, the smooth case and the Gevrey case. It may regarded as a small divisior theorem without small divisor…
A theta surface in affine 3-space is the zero set of a Riemann theta function in genus 3. This includes surfaces arising from special plane quartics that are singular or reducible. Lie and Poincar\'e showed that theta surfaces are precisely…
This thesis is concerned with the application of operadic methods, particularly modular operads, to questions arising in the study of moduli spaces of surfaces as well as applications to the study of homotopy algebras and new constructions…
This article is based on lecture notes prepared for the August 2006 Cologne Summer School. The first part contains background material and references for beginners. The second (and main) part is a survey of the current status in the theory…
We show that a generic principally polarized abelian variety (ppav) is uniquely determined by its theta hyperplanes. These are the non-projectivized version of those studied by Caporaso and Sernesi (see math.AG/0204164), which in a sense…
We use operator algebras and operator theory to obtain new result concerning Berezin quantization of compact K\"ahler manifolds. Our main tool is the notion of subproduct systems of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, which enables all…
Let G be a connected reductive group and X be a smooth curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We show that every meromorphic G-connection on X admits a possibly degenerate oper structure; in particular, every…
We construct a new family of mod $p$ weight shifting differential operators on the Siegel threefold. In particular, we construct one operator which generalizes the classical theta cycle, whose weight shift allows for maps between…
We define a tautological projection operator for algebraic cycle classes on the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties $\mathcal{A}_g$: every cycle class decomposes canonically as a sum of a tautological and a…
The spectral decomposition for an explicit second-order differential operator $T$ is determined. The spectrum consists of a continuous part with multiplicity two, a continuous part with multiplicity one, and a finite discrete part with…
Given a closed immersion between arbitrary smooth complex projective varieties, we prove that the two operations: (1) taking the moduli space of stable sheaves, and (2) taking the deformation to the normal cone, commute in a precise sense.…
We present an explicit and computationally actionable blueprint for constructing vector-valued Siegel modular forms associated to real multiplication (RM) abelian surfaces, leveraging the theta correspondence for the unitary dual pair…
We study contractive projections, isometries, and real positive maps on algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example we find generalizations and variants of certain classical results on contractive projections on C*-algebras and…
An operator system modulo the kernel of a completely positive linear map of the operator system gives rise to an operator system quotient. In this paper, operator system quotients and quotient maps of certain matrix algebras are considered.…
