We study subrings in the Chow ring $\CH^*(A)_{{\Bbb Q}}$ of an abelian variety $A$, stable under the Fourier transform with respect to an arbitrary polarization. We prove that by taking Pontryagin products of classes of dimension $\leq 1$…

Covariant or invariant functions under a compact linear group can be expressed in terms of functions defined in the orbit space of the group. The semialgebraic relations defining the orbit spaces of all finite coregular real linear groups…

Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two. We compute the Chen--Ruan cohomology ring of the moduli space of stable PSL(2, C)--bundles of nontrivial second Stiefel--Whitney class over X.

For $n\leq 6$, we compute the integral Chow ring of every modular compactification of $\mathcal{M}_{1,n}$ parametrising only Gorenstein curves with smooth, distinct markings. These include the Deligne--Mumford, Schubert, and Smyth…

We construct a birational equivalence between certain quotients of s-tuples of equidimensional linear subspaces of $C^n$ and some quotients of products of square matrices modulo diagonal conjugations. In particular, we prove the rationality…

Let M be a factor of type II_\infty or II_1 having separable predual and let M-bar be the algebra of affiliated \tau-measureable operators. We characterize the commutator space [I,J] for sub-(M,M)-bimodules I and J of M-bar.

Naruki gave an explicit construction of the moduli space of marked cubic surfaces, starting from a toric variety and proceeding with blow ups and contractions. Using his result, we compute the Chow groups and the Chern classes of this…

We define kappa classes on moduli spaces of KSBA stable varieties and pairs, generalizing the Miller-Morita-Mumford classes on moduli of curves, and compute them in some cases where the virtual fundamental class is known to exist, including…

The main result of this paper amounts to a complete evaluation of the integral cohomological structure of the stable mapping class group. In particular it verifies the conjecture of D.Mumford about the rational cohomology of the stable…

The rational Chow ring A?(S[n],Q) of the Hilbert scheme S[n] parametrising the length n zero-dimensional subschemes of a toric surface S can be described with the help of equivariant techniques. In this paper, we explain the general method…

We describe a theory of logarithmic Chow rings and tautological subrings for logarithmically smooth algebraic stacks, via a generalisation of the notion of piecewise-polynomial functions. Using this machinery we prove that the double-double…

When a reductive group $G$ acts linearly on a complex projective scheme $X$ there is a stratification of $X$ into $G$-invariant locally closed subschemes, with an open stratum $X^{ss}$ formed by the semistable points in the sense of…

The Chow quotient of a toric variety by a subtorus, as defined by Kapranov-Sturmfels-Zelevinsky, coarsely represents the main component of the moduli space of stable toric varieties with a map to a fixed projective toric variety, as…

Motivated by several recent results on the geometry of the moduli spaces $\bar{\Cal M}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points, here we determine their birational structure for small values of $g$ and $n$ by exploiting…

In these notes, we give a survey of the main results of [BC] and [BW]. Our aim is to generalize the geometric classification of (one-sided) ideals of the first Weyl algebra $ A_1(C) $ (see [BW1, BW2]) to the ring $ D(X) $ of differential…

In a doubling metric measure space $(X,\rho,\mu)$ supporting a Poincar\'e inequality, we give a new characterisation of first-order Sobolev spaces by mean oscillations, and extend previous characterisations of constant functions in terms of…

For a polynomial ring S in n variables, we consider the natural action of the symmetric group S_n on S by permuting the variables. For an S_n-invariant monomial ideal I in S and j >= 0, we give an explicit recipe for computing the modules…

Given $p \in (1,\infty)$, let $(\operatorname{X},\operatorname{d},\mu)$ be a metric measure space with uniformly locally doubling measure $\mu$ supporting a weak local $(1,p)$-Poincar\'e inequality. For each $\theta \in [0,p)$, we…

We define and investigate $\alpha$-modulation spaces $M_{p,q}^{s,\alpha}(G)$ associated to a step two stratified Lie group $G$ with rational structure constants. This is an extension of the Euclidean $\alpha$-modulation spaces…
