The main subject of this work is the difference between the coarse moduli space and the stack of hyperelliptic curves. We compute their Picard groups, giving explicit description of the generators. We get an application to the…
We demonstrate the construction of Poisson structures via Lie algebroids on moduli spaces of twisted stable Higgs bundles over stacky curves. The construction provides new examples of Poisson structures on such moduli spaces. Special…
In general, Hurwitz numbers count branched covers of the Riemann sphere with prescribed ramification data, or equivalently, factorisations in the symmetric group with prescribed cycle structure data. In this paper, we initiate the study of…
This paper studies compactifications of moduli spaces involving closed Riemann surfaces. The first main result identifies the homeomorphism types of these compactifications. The second main result introduces orbicell decompositions on these…
The Eisenstein-Picard modular surface $M$ is the quotient space of the complex hyperbolic plane by the modular group $\rm PU(2,1; \mathbb{Z}[\omega])$. We determine the global topology of $M$ as a 4-orbifold.
Moduli spaces of compact stable $n$-pointed curves carry a hierarchy of cohomology classes of top dimension which generalize the Weil-Petersson volume forms and constitute a version of Mumford classes. We give various new formulas for the…
We define the logarithmic tautological rings of the moduli spaces of Deligne-Mumford stable curves (together with a set of additive generators lifting the decorated strata classes of the standard tautological rings). While these algebras…
We study the moduli space of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations with $N$ spinors on a compact Riemann surface. These moduli spaces arise in a program to define a new enumerative invariant of 3-manifolds. They are also of independent…
Riemann Existence Theorems for Galois covers of Mumford curves by Mumford curves are stated and proven. As an application, all finite groups are realised as full automorphism groups of Mumford curves in characteristic zero.
In this paper we find an explicit formula for the number of topologically different ramified coverings $C\to\CP^1$ (C is a compact Riemann surface of genus g) with only one complicated branching point in terms of Hodge integrals over the…
We have studied irreducible Hom-Lie algebroid connections for Hom-bundle and prove that the H-gauge theoretic moduli space has a Hausdorff Hilbert manifold structure. This work generalizes some known results about simple semi-connections…
In this article, we study the topology and bifurcations of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3$ of cubic Newton maps. It's a subspace of the moduli space of cubic rational maps, carrying the Riemann orbifold structure $(\mathbb{\widehat{C}},…
A complete description of the Alexander modules of knotted $n$-manifolds in the sphere $S^{n+2}$, $n\geq 2$, and irreducible Hurwitz curves is given. This description is applied to investigate properties of the first homology groups of…
We compute the stable cohomology of moduli spaces of hyperelliptic curves of a fixed genus embedded on a fixed Hirzebruch surface. We also describe these moduli spaces of embedded hyperelliptic curves in terms of moduli spaces of pointed…
We construct moduli stacks of two-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of a p-adic local field, and relate their geometry to the weight part of Serre's conjecture for GL(2).
This article is concerned with moduli spaces of connections on bundles on Riemann surfaces, where the structure group of the bundle may vary in different regions of the surface. Here we will describe such moduli spaces as complex symplectic…
Using the orbicell decomposition of the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces studied previously, a chain complex based on semistable ribbon graphs is constructed which is an extension of Konsevich's graph…
We investigate the universal Jacobian of degree n line bundles over the Hurwitz stack of double covers of P^1 by a curve of genus g. Our main results are: the construction of a smooth, irreducible, universally closed (but not separated)…
This is the text of a talk to the study week on \emph{Modular forms and Galois representations} held in Luminy, 1997. We give a survey of $p$-adic modular forms, as developped by Serre, Katz, Hida, Wiles, Coleman and others...
We construct global Kuranishi charts for moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic maps of arbitrary genus with boundary on an embedded Lagrangian submanifold. We then build the geometric foundations required for obtaining compatible chain-level…
