The moduli space $\mathcal{S}_{g, 2n}$ parametrizes pointed curves with spin structure. We prove that $\mathcal{S}_{g, 2}$, $\mathcal{S}_{g, 4}$ and $\mathcal{S}_{g, 6}$ are uniruled for particular values of $g$.

We prove a conjecture of Gavril Farkas claiming that for all integers r \geq 2 and g \geq \binom{r+2}{2} there exists a component of the locus \mathcal{S}^r_g of spin curves with a theta characteristic L such that h^0(L) \geq r+1 and…

As a continuation of the work of Freiermuth and Trautmann, we study the geometry of the moduli space of stable sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^3$ with Hilbert polynomial $4m+1$. The moduli space has three irreducible components whose generic…

We compute the cone of effective divisors on any moduli space of semistable sheaves on the plane. The computation hinges on finding a good resolution of a general stable sheaf. This resolution is determined by Bridgeland stability and…

In this article, we establish the logarithmic foundation for compactifying the moduli stacks of the gauged linear sigma model using stable log maps of Abramovich-Chen-Gross-Siebert. We then illustrate our method via the key example of…

We introduce a new technique for proving positivity of certain divisor classes on $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ and its weighted variants. Our methods give an unconditional description of the spaces of symmetric weighted pointed rational curves as log…

Moduli spaces of complete collineations are wonderful compactifications of spaces of linear maps of maximal rank between two fixed vector spaces. We investigate the birational geometry of moduli spaces of complete collineations and quadrics…

The moduli space M(r,d) of stable, rank r, degree d vector bundles on a smooth projective curve of genus g>1 is shown to be birational to M(h,0) x A, where h=hcf(r,d) and A is affine space of dimension (r^2-h^2)(g-1). The birational…

We classify the Deligne-Mumford stacks M compactifying the moduli space of smooth $n$-pointed curves of genus one under the condition that the points of M represent Gorenstein curves with distinct markings. This classification uncovers new…

We construct the moduli stack of torsors over the formal punctured disk in characteristic p > 0 for a finite group isomorphic to the semidirect product of a p-group and a tame cyclic group. We prove that the stack is a limit of separated…

We prove that moduli spaces of torsion-free sheaves on a projective smooth complex surface are irreducible, reduced and of the expected dimension, provided the expected dimension is large enough. Actually we prove more: given a line bundle…

We study the $p$-rank stratification of the moduli space $\mathcal{ASW}_{(d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_n)}$, which represents $\mathbb{Z}/p^n$-covers in characteristic $p>0$ whose $\mathbb{Z}/p^i$-subcovers have conductor $d_i$. In particular, we…

We prove that the moduli space of 2-convex embedded n-spheres in R^{n+1} is path-connected for every n. Our proof uses mean curvature flow with surgery and can be seen as an extrinsic analog to Marques' influential proof of the…

For every $n\geq 3$, we exhibit infinitely many extremal effective divisors on the moduli space of genus one curves with $n$ marked points.
