Over the last few years, wall-crossing for Bridgeland stability conditions has led to a large number of results in algebraic geometry, particular on birational geometry of moduli spaces. We illustrate some of the methods behind these result…

We extend results on generic strange duality for K3 surfaces by showing that the proposed isomorphism holds over an entire Noether-Lefschetz divisor in the moduli space of quasipolarized K3s. We interpret the statement globally as an…

Given a curve $C$ that is a degree $k$ cover $C \to \mathbb{P}^1$ totally ramified at two points $p$ and $q$, we can seek to understand the space of degree $d$ line bundles on $C$ with prescribed ramification at $p$ and $q$. The…

Brill-Noether theory of curves has played a crucial role in the study of curves and their moduli since the 19th century, and has been extensively studied by several authors. Clifford's theorem provides a starting point in determining the…

Let $f\colon C \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ be a degree $k$ genus $g$ cover. The stratification of line bundles $L \in \mathrm{Pic}^d(C)$ by the splitting type of $f_*L$ is a refinement of the stratification by Brill-Noether loci $W^r_d(C)$.…

Let C be a smooth projective curve over the field of the complex numbers. We consider Brill-Noether loci over the moduli of maps from C to the Grassmannian G(m,n) and the corresponding Quot schemes of quotients of a trivial vector bundle on…

These notes will give an introduction to the theory of K3 surfaces. We begin with some general results on K3 surfaces, including the construction of their moduli space and some of its properties. We then move on to focus on the theory of…

Given an ample line bundle L on a K3 surface S, we study the slope stability with respect to L of rank-3 Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundles associated with complete, base point free nets of type g^2_d on curves C in the linear system |L|. When d is…

We develop a theory of twistor spaces for supersingular K3 surfaces, extending the analogy between supersingular K3 surfaces and complex analytic K3 surfaces. Our twistor spaces are obtained as relative moduli spaces of twisted sheaves on…

We construct coarse moduli spaces for `Brill-Noether pairs'. Such a pair consists of a torsion-free sheaf $E$ over an algebraic curve $X$ and a vector subspace $\Lambda$ of its space of sections $H^0(E)$. The construction works for an…

The geometry of divisors on algebraic curves has been studied extensively over the years. The foundational results of this Brill-Noether theory imply that on a general curve, the spaces parametrizing linear series (of fixed degree and…

Using the isomorphism between the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces of genus 14 and the moduli space of special cubic fourfolds of discriminant 26, we establish the rationality of the universal K3 surface of genus 14. Precisely, we show…

The notion of constant cycle curves on K3 surfaces is introduced. These are curves that do not contribute to the Chow group of the ambient K3 surface. Rational curves are the most prominent examples. We show that constant cycle curves…

We present a Prym analogue of Lazarsfeld's result that curves on general polarized K3 surfaces verify the Brill-Noether Theorem, or equivalently, that their canonical embedding has no unexpected secants. We show that the Prym-canonical…

Let $\mathfrak B_g$ denote the moduli space of primitively polarized $K3$ surfaces $(S,H)$ of genus $g$ over $\mathbb C$. It is well-known that $\mathfrak B_g$ is irreducible and that there are only finitely many rational curves in $|H|$…
