The main purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual approach to understanding the extension of the Prym map from the space of admissible double covers of stable curves to different toroidal compactifications of the moduli space of…
Chow rings of toric varieties, which originate in intersection theory, feature a rich combinatorial structure of independent interest. We survey four different ways of computing in these rings, due to Billera, Brion, Fulton--Sturmfels, and…
We discuss some aspects of heterotic-Type I duality. We focus on toroidal compactification, with special attention for the topology of the gauge group, and the topology of the bundle. We review the arguments leading to a classification of…
We provide the dictionary between four-dimensional gauged supergravity and type II compactifications on $\mathbb{T}^6$ with metric and gauge fluxes in the absence of supersymmetry breaking sources, such as branes and orientifold planes.…
In this paper, we construct good toroidal and minimal compactifications in the sense of Lan-Stroh for integral models of abelian-type Shimura varieties. We start with finding suitable types of cusp labels and cone decompositions which are…
The Torelli map $t\colon \mathcal{M}^{ct}_g \to \mathcal{A}_g$ is far from an immersion for $g\geq 3$: the self-fiber product of the Torelli map for $g\geq 3$ has several components with nontrivial intersections. We give a stratification of…
Classical Hodge theory endows the square integrable cohomology of a Shimura variety X with values in a locally homogeneous polarized variation of Hodge structure E with a natural Hodge decomposition. The theory of Morihiko Saito does the…
We study intersection theory and Chern classes of reflexive sheaves on normal varieties. In particular, we define generalization of Mumford's intersection theory on normal surfaces to higher dimensions. We also define and study the second…
We establish the duality between the torus knot superpolynomials or the Poincar\'e polynomials of the Khovanov homology and particular condensates in $\Omega$-deformed 5D supersymmetric QED compactified on a circle with 5d Chern-Simons(CS)…
We show that if $\mathcal{A} \subset {[n] \choose n/2}$ with measure bounded away from zero and from one, then the $\Omega(\sqrt{n})$-iterated upper shadows of $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{A}^c$ intersect in a set of positive measure. This…
We review the problems associated with Matrix compactifications on T^6.
We classify the smallest finite volume complex hyperbolic surfaces with cusps which admit smooth toroidal compactifications and which are not birational to a bi-elliptic surface. Remarkably, there is only one such surface which appears to…
In this paper, we develop the general intersection theory of nef b-divisors, extending the movable intersection theory. We define a notion of restricted volume of b-divisors and prove a quantitative version of the monotonicity of the…
Motivated by recent proposals relating non-supersymmetric Type 0A theory to M-theory compactified on a singular wedge geometry, we study an M-theory compactification on a seven-manifold with G_2 structure, realized as a deformed K3…
This is a summary of arXiv:0806.3458, where the low energy effective theory of type IIA AdS_4 N=1 flux compactifications on nilmanifolds and cosets has been analyzed. We compute the superpotential, the K\"ahler potential and the mass…
We argue that there are two distinct classes of type I compactification to four dimensions on any space. These two classes are distinguished in a mysterious way by the presence (or absence) of a discrete 6-form potential. In simple…
We present some recent results in Fibrewise General Topology with special regard to the theory of Tychonoff compactifications of mappings. Several open problems are also proposed.
In this thesis we study sets of points in the plane and their Voronoi diagrams, in particular when the points coincide. We bring together two ways of studying point sets that have received a lot of attention in recent years: Voronoi…
These notes contain a brief introduction to the construction of toric Calabi--Yau hypersurfaces and complete intersections with a focus on issues relevant for string duality calculations. The last two sections can be read independently and…
We define an elementary relatively $\mathbb Z/4$ graded Lagrangian-Floer chain complex for restricted immersions of compact 1-manifolds into the pillowcase, and apply it to the intersection diagram obtained by taking traceless $SU(2)$…
