Let $F_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p=2,3$. We give the number of irreducible polynomials $x^m+a_{m-1}x^{m-1}+...+a_0\in\F_q[x]$ with $a_{m-1}$ and $a_{m-3}$ prescribed for any given $m$ if $p=2$, and with $a_{m-1}$ and $a_1$…
We find that the first Hurwitz triplet possesses two distinct arithmetic structures. As Shimura curves $X_1$, $X_2$, $X_3$, whose levels are with norm 13. As non-congruence modular curves $Y_1$, $Y_2$, $Y_3$, whose levels are 7. Both of…
In this paper we study the geometry of the Severi varieties parametrizing curves on the rational ruled surface $\fn$. We compute the number of such curves through the appropriate number of fixed general points on $\fn$, and the number of…
We obtain a recursive formula for the number of rational degree $d$ curves in $\mathbb{P}^3$, whose image lies in a $\mathbb{P}^2$, passing through $r$ lines and $s$ points, where $r + 2s = 3d+2$. This can be viewed as a family version of…
We compute the Picard group of the moduli stack of elliptic curves and its canonical compactification over general base schemes.
Double Hurwitz numbers enumerate branched covers of $\mathbb{CP}^1$ with prescribed ramification over two points and simple ramification elsewhere. In contrast to the single case, their underlying geometry is not well understood. In…
Let $X\to \mathbb P^2$ be the elliptic Calabi-Yau threefold given by a general Weierstrass equation. We answer the enumerative question of how many discrete rational curves lie over lines in the base, proving part of a conjecture by Huang,…
Let X be a K3 surface with a primitive ample divisor H, and let $\beta=2[H]\in H_2(X, \mathbf Z)$. We calculate the Gromov-Witten type invariants $n_{\beta}$ by virtue of Euler numbers of some moduli spaces of stable sheaves. Eventually, it…
This paper is devoted to the classification of connected components of Prym eigenform loci in the strata H(2,2)^odd and H(1,1,2) in the Abelian differentials bundle in genus 3. These loci, discovered by McMullen are GL^+(2,R)-invariant…
In characteristic $p>0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, we compute the number of nonplanar rational curves of arbitrary degrees on a smooth Hermitian surface of degree $q+1$ under the assumption that the curves have a parametrization given by…
On a weighted projective surface $\mathbb{P}(a,b,c)$ with $\min(a,b,c)\leq 4$, we compute lower bounds for the {\em effective threshold} of an ample divisor, in other words, the highest multiplicity a section of the divisor can have at a…
If the theta-null divisor $\Theta_{\rm null}$ is moved to the Prym moduli space through the diagram $\mathcal{S}_{g}^{+}\rightarrow\mathcal{M}_{g}\leftarrow\mathcal{R}_{g}$, it splits into two irreducible components $\mathcal{P}_{\rm\!…
In this paper we study the geometry of GIT configurations of $n$ ordered points on $\mathbb{P}^1$ both from the the birational and the biregular viewpoint. In particular, we prove that any extremal ray of the Mori cone of effective curves…
For each proper divisor d of (r^2-r+1), r being a power of a prime, maximal curves over a finite field with r^2 elements covered by the Hermitian curve of genus 1/2((r^2-r+1)/d-1) are constructed.
Using limit linear series and a result controlling degeneration from separable maps to inseparable maps, we give a formula for the number of self-maps of the projective line with ramification to order e_i at general points P_i, in the case…
We compute the rational Chow class of the locus of genus 2 curves admitting a d-to-1 map to a genus 1 curve, recovering a result of Faber-Pagani when d=2. The answer exhibits quasi-modularity properties similar to those in the Gromov-Witten…
We construct several modular compactifications of the Hurwitz space $H^d_{g/h}$ of genus $g$ curves expressed as $d$-sheeted, simply branched covers of genus $h$ curves. These compactifications are obtained by allowing the branch points of…
We give an explicit description of fundamental domains associated to the $p$-adic uniformisation of families of Shimura curves of discriminant $Dp$ and level $N\geq 1$, for which the one-sided ideal class number $h(D,N)$ is $1$. The…
The purpose of this note is to suggest an analogue for genus 2 curves of part of Gross and Zagier's work on elliptic curves. Experimentally, for genus 2 curves with CM by a quartic CM field K, it appears that primes dividing the…
We consider for $d\geq 1$ the graded commutative $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra $\mathcal{A}(d):=H^*(\operatorname{Hilb}^d(\mathbb{C}^2);\mathbb{Q})$, which is also connected to the study of generalised Hurwitz spaces by work of the first author.…
