We present a discrete theory for modeling developable surfaces as quadrilateral meshes satisfying simple angle constraints. The basis of our model is a lesser known characterization of developable surfaces as manifolds that can be…

In this article we construct the arithmetic Satake compactification of the Drinfeld moduli schemes of arbitrary rank over the ring of integers of any global function field away from the level structure, and show that the universal family…

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…

The object of this note is the moduli spaces of cubic fourfolds (resp., Gushel-Mukai fourfolds) which contain some special rational surfaces. Under some hypotheses on the families of such surfaces, we develop a general method to show the…

In this paper we make an initial study on type D moduli spaces in positive characteristic $p\neq 2$, where we allow $p$ ramified in the definite quaternion algebra. We classify the isogeny classes of $p$-divisible groups with additional…

We provide two examples of smooth projective surfaces of tame CM type, by showing that any parameter space of isomorphism classes of indecomposable ACM bundles with fixed rank and determinant on a rational quartic scroll in projective…

We exhibit a smooth compactification of the moduli space of elliptic curves in a product of projective spaces with tangency along a subset of its toric boundary divisors. This is a Vakil--Zinger type of desingularization for maps to a…

We give an effective algorithm to determine the endomorphism ring of a Drinfeld module, both over its field of definition and over a separable or algebraic closure thereof. Using previous results we deduce an effective description of the…

By proving a particular case of a conjecture of Drezet, we show that a component of the Maruyama scheme of the semi-stable sheaves on the projective space $\PP^n$ of rank n and Chern polynomial $(1+t)^{n+2}$ is isomorphic to the Kronecher…

In this article we establish the following results: Let $(X, B)$ be a dlt pair, where $X$ is a $\mathbb Q$-factorial K\"ahler $4$-fold -- (i) if $X$ is compact and $K_X+B\sim_{\mathbb Q} D\geq 0$ for some effective $\mathbb Q$-divisor, then…

We give the algebraic and topological description of the moduli spaces of flat metrics for the 4-dimensional closed flat manifolds with two or three generators in their holonomy.

We construct a sequence of modular compactifications of the space of marked trigonal curves by allowing the branch points to coincide to a given extent. Beginning with the standard admissible cover compactification, the sequence first…

We resolve pathological wall-crossing phenomena for moduli spaces of sheaves on higher-dimensional base manifolds. This is achieved by considering slope-semistability with respect to movable curves rather than divisors. Moreover, given a…

We develop some methods to construct normal crossing varieties whose dual complexes are two-dimensional, which are smoothable to Calabi--Yau threefolds. We calculate topological invariants of smoothed Calabi--Yau threefolds and show that…

Let M be a projective fine moduli space of stable sheaves on a smooth projective variety X with a universal family E. We prove that in four examples, E can be realized as a complete flat family of stable sheaves on M parametrized by X,…

The moduli spaces of stable surfaces serve as compactifications of the moduli spaces of canonical models of smooth surfaces in the same way the moduli spaces of stable curves compactify the moduli spaces of smooth curves. However, the…

We use Khovanov-Rozansky gl(N) link homology to define invariants of oriented smooth 4-manifolds, as skein modules constructed from certain 4-categories with well-behaved duals. The technical heart of this construction is a proof of the…

Let $F$ be a function field over $\mathbb{F}_q$, $A$ its ring of regular functions outside a place $\infty$ and $\mathfrak{p}$ a prime ideal of $A$. First, we develop Hida theory for Drinfeld modular forms of rank $r$ which are of slope…

We continue the analysis of the geometry of generic Minkowski $\mathcal{N} = 1$, $D = 4$ flux compactifications in M-theory using exceptional generalised geometry, including the calculation of the infinitesimal moduli spaces. The…

We prove that the Poincare' polynomial of the moduli space of smooth genus 4 curves is 1+t^2+t^4+t^5. We show this by producing a stratification of the space, such that all strata are geometric quotients of complements of discriminants.
