We show the compactly supported motive of the moduli stack of degree $n$ rational curves on the weighted projective stack $\mathcal{P}(a,b)$ is of mixed Tate type over any base field $K$ with $\text{char}(K) \nmid a,b$ and has class…

Let G be a complex connected reductive group. The representation ring R(G) admits a canonical filtration defined in terms of the lambda-structure. We compute the associated graded ring gr R(G) (over Q) and the Chern classes of a…

We employ combinatorial techniques to present an explicit formula for the coefficients in front of Chern classes involving in the Hattori-Stong integrability conditions. We also give an evenness condition for the signature of stably…

We present a conjecture for the Chow ring of the universal moduli stack of bundles over hyperelliptic curves and prove it for rank and genus two. Consequently, we obtain explicit generators and relations to conclude that the Chow ring is…

In this paper, we study the so-called Getzler-Kapranov complexes and their relation to the cohomology of moduli stacks of curves.

The object of this paper is the notion of r-spin structure: a line bundle whose r-th power is isomorphic to the canonical bundle. Over the moduli functor M_g of smooth genus-$g$ curves, $r$-spin structures form a finite torsor under the…

In this paper, we resolve a conjecture of Khovanskii--Monin on the Chern classes of toric variety bundles. The main result is a formula for the total Chern class of the tangent bundle of a toric variety bundle in terms of the total Chern…

We define a proper moduli stack for degree $p$ covers $f:Y \to \cX$ where $\cX$ is a twisted stable curve in the sense of [5] and [4], and $Y$ is a stable curve which via $f$ is a torsor over $\cX$ under a finite flat group scheme $\cG \to…

We prove a localization formula for the moduli space of stable relative maps. As an application, we prove that all codimension i tautological classes on the moduli space of stable pointed curves vanish away from strata corresponding to…

We study the codimension n locus of curves of genus 2 with n distinct marked Weierstrass points inside the moduli space of genus 2, n-pointed curves, for n <= 6. We give a recursive description of the classes of the closure of these loci…

There is a well-known stratification of the moduli space $M_g$ of Deligne-Mumford stable curves of genus $g$ by the loci of stable curves with a fixed number $i$ of nodes, where $i \le 3g-3$. The associated moduli stack ${\cal M}_g$ admits…

Let $M(d,\chi)$ be the moduli space of semistable sheaves of rank 0, Euler characteristic $\chi$ and first Chern class $dH (d>0)$, with $H$ the hyperplane class in $\mathbb{P}^2$. We give a description of $M(d,\chi)$, viewing each sheaf as…

In this paper a number of results on cycles on the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties is presented. Results include a determination of the tautological ring, bounds on the order of torsion of the top Chern class…

The subalgebra of the tautological ring of the moduli of curves of compact type generated by the kappa classes is studied. Relations, constructed via the virtual geometry of the moduli of stable maps, are used to prove universality results…

In this thesis I give a new description for the moduli space of stable n pointed curves of genus zero and explicitly specify a natural isomorphism and inverse between them that preserves many important properties. I also give a natural…

We define a Deligne-Mumford stack X_{D,r} which depends on a scheme X, an effective Cartier divisor D\subset X, and a positive integer r. Then we show that the Abramovich-Vistoli moduli stack of stable maps into X_{D,r} provides…

We give a method to construct stable vector bundles whose rank divides the degree over curves of genus bigger than one. The method complements the one given by Newstead. Finally, we make some systematic remarks and observations in…

We provide a spectral sequence computing the extension groups of tautological bundles on symmetric products of curves. One main consequence is that, if $E\neq \mathcal O_X$ is simple, then the natural map $\operatorname*{Ext}^1(E,E)\to…

Strata of exact differentials are moduli spaces for differentials on Riemann surfaces with vanishing absolute periods. Our main result is that classes of closures of strata of exact differentials inside the moduli space of multi-scale…
