We find a natural $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$-axiomatisation $\Sigma$ of a structure on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$ as the covering space of modular curves. The main theorem states that $\Sigma$ has a unique model in every uncountable…

In this article we prove a finiteness result on the number of log minimal models for $3$-folds in char $p>5$. We then use this result to prove a version of Batyrev's conjecture on the structure of nef cone of curves on $3$-folds in…

Multi-scale differentials were constructed by M.~Bainbridge, D.~Chen, Q.~Gendron, S.~Grushevsky, and M.~M\"oller, from the viewpoint of flat and complex geometry, for the purpose of compactifying moduli spaces of curves together with a…

We formulate a stable reduction conjecture that extends Deligne-Mumford's stable reduction to higher dimensions and provide a simple proof that it holds in large characteristic, assuming two standard conjectures of the Minimal Model…

We prove a formula which relates Euler characteristic of moduli spaces of stable pairs on local K3 surfaces to counting invariants of semistable sheaves on them. Our formula generalizes Kawai-Yoshioka's formula for stable pairs with…

For any non-simply laced Lie group $G$ and elliptic curve $\Sigma$, we show that the moduli space of flat $G$ bundles over $\Sigma$ can be identified with the moduli space of rational surfaces with $G$-configurations which contain $\Sigma$…

We show that the compactification of the moduli space of $n-$nodal curves of genus g, i.e. $\mathcal{N}_{g,n}:= \mathcal{M}_{g,2n} /G$, with $G:=(\mathbb{Z}_2)^n \rtimes S_n$, is of general type for $g \geq 24$, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$.…

In this paper, we study moduli spaces of sextic curves with simple singularities. Through period maps of K3 surfaces with ADE singularities, we prove that such moduli spaces admit algebraic open embeddings into arithmetic quotients of type…

We discuss the minimal model program for b-log varieties, which is a pair of a variety and a b-divisor, as a natural generalization of the minimal model program for ordinary log varieties. We show that the main theorems of the log MMP work…

This paper has two parts. In the first part, we review stable pairs and triples on curves, leading up to Thaddeus' diagram of flips and contractions starting from the blow-up of projective space along a curve embedded by a complete linear…

We prove that the moduli spaces of rational curves of degree at most $3$ in linear sections of the Grassmannian $Gr(2,5)$ are all rational varieties. We also study their compactifications and birational geometry.

We prove that, assuming the F-conjecture, the log canonical model of the pair $(\bar{M}_{0,n}, \sum a_i \psi_i)$ is the Hassett's moduli space of weighted pointed stable rational curves without any modification of weight coefficients. For…

We obtain a formula which relates the log canonical divisor of the ambient space with that of a subvariety of codimension 2 by using Knudsen's moduli space of pointed stable curves of genus 0.

We give an introduction to the compactification of the moduli space of surfaces of general type introduced by Koll\'ar and Shepherd-Barron and generalized to the case of surfaces with a divisor by Alexeev. The construction is an application…

We prove, under suitable conditions, that there exist wall-crossing and reduction morphisms for moduli spaces of stable log pairs in all dimensions as one varies the coefficients of the divisor.

We study sheaves E on a smooth projective curve X which are minimal with respect to the property that $h^0(E \otimes L) >0$ for all line bundles L of degree zero. We show that these sheaves define ample divisors D(E) on the Picard torus…

For a partition $lambda=\{lambda_1 \geq \lambda_2 \geq \lambda_3 \}$ of non-negative integers, we calculate the Euler characteristic of the local system $V_{\lambda}$ on the moduli space of genus 3 hyperelliptic curves using a suitable…

We study the singular homology (with field coefficients) of the moduli stack of stable n-pointed complex curves of genus g (the Deligne-Mumford compactification). Each of its irreducible boundary components determines via the…

Let $C$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve defined over $\mathbb{R}$ such that $C(\mathbb{R}) = \emptyset$. Let $r>0$ and $d$ be integers which are coprime. Let $L$ be a line bundle on $C$ which corresponds to an…

The Minimal Model Program offers natural higher-dimensional analogues of stable $n$-pointed curves and maps: stable pairs consisting of a projective variety $X$ of dimension $\ge2$ and a divisor $B$, that should satisfy a few simple…
