In this paper we study abstract group homomorphisms between the groups of rational points of linear algebraic groups which are not necessarily reductive. One of our main goal is to obtain results on homomorphisms from the groups of rational…

We find the automorphism group of the moduli space of parabolic bundles on a smooth curve (with fixed determinant and system of weights). This group is generated by: automorphisms of the marked curve, tensoring with a line bundle, taking…

The Torelli group of a compact non-orientable Klein surface is the subgroup of the modular group consisting of the mapping classes that act trivially on the first homology group of the surface. We prove that if a surface has genus at least…

We consider the moduli space of vector bundles of rank $n$ and degree $ng$ over a fixed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$. We use the explicit parametrization in terms of the Tyurin data. In the moduli space there is a "non-abelian" Theta…

For any non-principal polarisation $D$, we explicitly construct $D$-polarised abelian variety $A$, such that its dual abelian variety is not (abstractly) isomorphic to $A$. For $\dim(A)>3$ the construction includes examples with submaximal…

We show for the moduli space of rank-2 coherent sheaves on an algebraic surface that there exists a 'dual' moduli space. This dual space allows a construction of the first one without using the GIT construction. Furthermore, we obtain a…

I prove the existence, and describe the structure, of moduli space of pairs $(p,\Theta)$ consisting of a projective variety $P$ with semiabelian group action and an ample Cartier divisor on it satisfying a few simple conditions. Every…

We give a characterizaton of smooth ample Hypersurfaces in Abelian Varieties and also describe an irreducible connected component of their moduli space: it consists of the Hypersurfaces of a given polarization type, plus the iterated…

The moduli space of abelian surfaces with polarisation of type (1,6) and a bilevel structure has positive Kodaira dimension. By contrast, Mukai has shown that the moduli space of bilevel-t abelian sufaces is rational for t=2,3,4,5.

We prove that the moduli space A_{11}^{lev} of (1,11) polarized abelian surfaces with level structure of canonical type is birational to Klein's cubic hypersurface: a^2b+b^2c+c^2d+d^2e+e^2a=0 in P^4. Therefore, A_{11}^{lev} is unirational…

We study the Picard groups of moduli spaces of smooth complex projective curves that have a group of automorphisms with a prescribed topological action. One of our main tools is the theory of symmetric mapping class groups. In the first…

Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth projective algebraic curve of genus $g \geq 2$ over the ground field $\bc$ and let $G$ be a semisimple simply connected algebraic group. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of semistable and…

We prove that the moduli space ${\mathcal A}_{g,\Gamma_0(p)}\otimes \bar {\mathbb F}_p$ of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g$ with a $\Gamma_0(p)$-level structure in characteristic $p$ has $2^g$ irreducible…

We study endomorphisms of abelian varieties and their action on the l-adic Tate modules. We prove that for every endomorphism one may choose a basis of each Tate module such that the corresponding matrix has rational entries and does not…

In this paper, we investigate the existence of an elementary abelian closure in characteristic not $2$ for biquadratic extensions. We discover that it exists for any non-cyclic extension. We make use of it to obtain a classification for…

In this paper we study the maximal extension $\Gamma_t^*$ of the subgroup $\Gamma_t$ of $\operatorname{Sp}_4 (\bq)$ which is conjugate to the paramodular group. The index of this extension is $2^{\nu(t)}$ where $\nu(t)$ is the number of…

Let X' be the toroidal compactification of the quotient of the complex 2-ball by a torsion free lattice G of SU(2,1). We say that X'is co-abelian if there is an abelian surface, birational to X'. The present work can be viewed as an…

We investigate topological T-duality in the framework of non-abelian gerbes and higher gauge groups. We show that this framework admits the gluing of locally defined T-duals, in situations where no globally defined ("geometric") T-duals…

Suppose $G$ is a finite group acting on an Abelian variety $A$ such that the coarse moduli space $A/G$ is smooth. Using the recent classification result due to Auffarth, Lucchini Arteche, and Quezada, we construct an orbifold semiorthogonal…

In this paper, we classify the possible group structures on the set of $R$-valued points of an abelian variety, where $R$ is any real closed field. We make use of a family of abelian varieties that, in effect, allows one to quantify over…
