Essential dimension of moduli of curves and other algebraic stacks

Patrick Brosnan, Zinovy Reichstein, Angelo Vistoli (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In this paper we consider questions of the following type. Let $k$ be a base field and $K / k$ be a field extension. Given a geometric object $X$ over a field $K$ (e.g. a smooth curve of genus $g$ ), what is the least transcendence degree of a field of definition of $X$ over the base field $k$ ? In other words, how many independent parameters are needed to define $X$ ? To study these questions we introduce a notion of essential dimension for an algebraic stack. Using the resulting theory, we give a complete...

Moduli of smoothness of functions and their derivatives

Z. Ditzian, S. Tikhonov (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Relations between moduli of smoothness of the derivatives of a function and those of the function itself are investigated. The results are for $L_{p} (T)$ and $L_{p} [- 1, 1]$ for 0 < p < ∞ using the moduli of smoothness $ω^{r} {(f, t)}_{p}$ and $ω_{φ}^{r} {(f, t)}_{p}$ respectively.

Bounds on the denominators in the canonical bundle formula

Enrica Floris (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this work we study the moduli part in the canonical bundle formula of an lc-trivial fibration whose general fibre is a rational curve. If $r$ is the Cartier index of the fibre, it was expected that $12 r$ would provide a bound on the denominators of the moduli part. Here we prove that such a bound cannot even be polynomial in $r$ , we provide a bound $N (r)$ and an example where the smallest integer that clears the denominators of the moduli part is $N (r) / r$ . Moreover we prove that even locally the denominators...

Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of curves

Gilberto Bini, John Harer (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $M_{g}^{n}$ be the moduli space of $n$ -pointed Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ . Denote by $\bar{M_{g}^{n}}$ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of $M_{g}^{n}$ . In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the ordinary Euler characteristic of $\bar{M_{g}^{n}}$ for any $g$ and $n$ such that $n > 2 - 2 g$ .

Singularities of theta divisors and the geometry of $𝒜_{5}$

Gavril Farkas, Samuele Grushevsky, Salvati R. Manni, Alessandro Verra (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study the codimension two locus $H$ in $𝒜_{g}$ consisting of principally polarized abelian varieties whose theta divisor has a singularity that is not an ordinary double point. We compute the class $[H] \in C H^{2} (𝒜_{g})$ for every $g$ . For $g = 4$ , this turns out to be the locus of Jacobians with a vanishing theta-null. For $g = 5$ , via the Prym map we show that $H \subset 𝒜_{5}$ has two components, both unirational, which we describe completely. We then determine the slope of the effective cone of $\bar{𝒜_{5}}$ and show that the component $\bar{N_{0}^{'}}$ of the Andreotti-Mayer...

The KSBA compactification for the moduli space of degree two $K 3$ pairs

Radu Laza (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Inspired by the ideas of the minimal model program, Shepherd-Barron, Kollár, and Alexeev have constructed a geometric compactification for the moduli space of surfaces of log general type. In this paper, we discuss one of the simplest examples that fits into this framework: the case of pairs $(X, H)$ consisting of a degree two $K 3$ surface $X$ and an ample divisor $H$ . Specifically, we construct and describe explicitly a geometric compactification ${\bar{P}}_{2}$ for the moduli of degree two $K 3$ pairs. This compactification...

Polarizations of Prym varieties for Weyl groups via abelianization

Herbert Lange, Christian Pauly (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $π : Z \to X$ be a Galois covering of smooth projective curves with Galois group the Weyl group of a simple and simply connected Lie group $G$ . For any dominant weight $λ$ consider the curve $Y = Z / Stab (λ)$ . The Kanev correspondence defines an abelian subvariety $P_{λ}$ of the Jacobian of $Y$ . We compute the type of the polarization of the restriction of the canonical principal polarization of $Jac (Y)$ to $P_{λ}$ in some cases. In particular, in the case of the group $E_{8}$ we obtain families of Prym-Tyurin varieties. The main idea is...

An index inequality for embedded pseudoholomorphic curves in symplectizations

Michael Hutchings (2002)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $Σ$ be a surface with a symplectic form, let $φ$ be a symplectomorphism of $Σ$ , and let $Y$ be the mapping torus of $φ$ . We show that the dimensions of moduli spaces of embedded pseudoholomorphic curves in $ℝ \times 𝕐$ , with cylindrical ends asymptotic to periodic orbits of $φ$ or multiple covers thereof, are bounded from above by an additive relative index. We deduce some compactness results for these moduli spaces. This paper establishes some of the foundations for a program with Michael Thaddeus, to...

Multiple end solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation in $ℝ^{2}$

Michał Kowalczyk, Yong Liu, Frank Pacard (2013-2014)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Similarity:

An entire solution of the Allen-Cahn equation $Δ u = f (u)$ , where $f$ is an odd function and has exactly three zeros at $\pm 1$ and $0$ , e.g. $f (u) = u (u^{2} - 1)$ , is called a $2 k$ end solution if its nodal set is asymptotic to $2 k$ half lines, and if along each of these half lines the function $u$ looks (up to a multiplication by $- 1$ ) like the one dimensional, odd, heteroclinic solution $H$ , of $H^{''} = f (H)$ . In this paper we present some recent advances in the theory of the multiple end solutions. We begin with the description of the moduli space...

Chen–Ruan Cohomology of $ℳ_{1, n}$ and ${\bar{ℳ}}_{1, n}$

Nicola Pagani (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this work we compute the Chen–Ruan cohomology of the moduli spaces of smooth and stable $n$ -pointed curves of genus $1$ . In the first part of the paper we study and describe stack theoretically the twisted sectors of $ℳ_{1, n}$ and ${\bar{ℳ}}_{1, n}$ . In the second part, we study the orbifold intersection theory of ${\bar{ℳ}}_{1, n}$ . We suggest a definition for an orbifold tautological ring in genus $1$ , which is a subring of both the Chen–Ruan cohomology and of the stringy Chow ring.

Soluble Groups with Many Černikov Quotients

Silvana Franciosi, Francesco de Giovanni (1985)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti

Similarity:

Si studiano i gruppi risolubili non di Černikov a quozienti propri di Černikov. Nel caso periodico tali gruppi sono tutti e soli i prodotti semidiretti $H\ltimes N$ con $N$ $p$ -gruppo abeliano elementare infinito e $H$ gruppo irriducibile di automorfismi di $N$ che sia infinito e di Černikov. Nel caso non periodico invece si riconduce tale studio a quello dei moduli a quozienti propri artiniani su un gruppo risolubile finito, e si fornisce una caratterizzazione di tali moduli.

$𝒟$ -bundles and integrable hierarchies

David Ben-Zvi, Thomas Nevins (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study the geometry of $𝒟$ -bundles—locally projective $𝒟$ -modules—on algebraic curves, and apply them to the study of integrable hierarchies, specifically the multicomponent Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) and spin Calogero–Moser (CM) hierarchies. We show that KP hierarchies have a geometric description as flows on moduli spaces of $𝒟$ -bundles; in particular, we prove that the local structure of $𝒟$ -bundles is captured by the full Sato Grassmannian. The rational, trigonometric, and elliptic solutions...

An alternative description of the Drinfeld $p$ -adic half-plane

Stephen Kudla, Michael Rapoport (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We show that the Deligne formal model of the Drinfeld $p$ -adic half-plane relative to a local field $F$ represents a moduli problem of polarized $O_{F}$ -modules with an action of the ring of integers in a quadratic extension $E$ of $F$ . The proof proceeds by establishing a comparison isomorphism with the Drinfeld moduli problem. This isomorphism reflects the accidental isomorphism of ${SL}_{2} (F)$ and $SU (C) (F)$ for a two-dimensional split hermitian space $C$ for $E / F$ .

Fields of moduli of three-point $G$ -covers with cyclic $p$ -Sylow, II

Andrew Obus (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

We continue the examination of the stable reduction and fields of moduli of $G$ -Galois covers of the projective line over a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic $(0, p)$ , where $G$ has a $p$ -Sylow subgroup $P$ of order $p^{n}$ . Suppose further that the normalizer of $P$ acts on $P$ via an involution. Under mild assumptions, if $f : Y \to ℙ^{1}$ is a three-point $G$ -Galois cover defined over $\bar{ℚ}$ , then the $n$ th higher ramification groups above $p$ for the upper numbering of the (Galois closure of...

Singularities of $2 Θ$ -divisors in the jacobian

Christian Pauly, Emma Previato (2001)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We consider the linear system $| 2 Θ_{0} |$ of second order theta functions over the Jacobian $J C$ of a non-hyperelliptic curve $C$ . A result by J.Fay says that a divisor $D \in | 2 Θ_{0} |$ contains the origin $𝒪 \in J C$ with multiplicity $4$ if and only if $D$ contains the surface $C - C = {𝒪 (p - q) ∣ p, q \in C} \subset J C$ . In this paper we generalize Fay’s result and some previous work by R.C.Gunning. More precisely, we describe the relationship between divisors containing $𝒪$ with multiplicity $6$ , divisors containing the fourfold $C_{2} - C_{2} = {𝒪 (p + q - r - s) ∣ p, q, r, s \in C}$ , and divisors singular along $C - C$ , using...

Brill–Noether loci for divisors on irregular varieties

Margarida Mendes Lopes, Rita Pardini, Pietro Pirola (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We take up the study of the Brill-Noether loci $W^{r} (L, X) : = {η \in {Pic}^{0} (X) | h^{0} (L \otimes η) \geq r + 1}$ , where $X$ is a smooth projective variety of dimension $> 1$ , $L \in Pic (X)$ , and $r \geq 0$ is an integer. By studying the infinitesimal structure of these loci and the Petri map (defined in analogy with the case of curves), we obtain lower bounds for $h^{0} (K_{D})$ , where $D$ is a divisor that moves linearly on a smooth projective variety $X$ of maximal Albanese dimension. In this way we sharpen the results of [Xi] and we generalize them to dimension $> 2$ . In the $2$ -dimensional case...

Explicit Teichmüller curves with complementary series

Carlos Matheus, Gabriela Weitze-Schmithüsen (2013)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We construct an explicit family of arithmetic Teichmüller curves $𝒞_{2 k}$ , $k \in ℕ$ , supporting $SL (2, ℝ)$ -invariant probabilities $μ_{2 k}$ such that the associated $SL (2, ℝ)$ -representation on $L^{2} (𝒞_{2 k}, μ_{2 k})$ has complementary series for every $k \geq 3$ . Actually, the size of the spectral gap along this family goes to zero. In particular, the Teichmüller geodesic flow restricted to these explicit arithmetic Teichmüller curves $𝒞_{2 k}$ has arbitrarily slow rate of exponential mixing.

Even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces

Fabrizio Catanese, Fabio Tonoli (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We determine the possible even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces in $ℙ^{3}$ , showing in particular that their cardinalities are exactly the numbers in the set ${24, 32, 40, 56}$ . We also show that all the possible cases admit an explicit description. The methods that we use are an interplay of coding theory and projective geometry on one hand, and of homological and computer algebra on the other. We give a detailed geometric construction for the new case of an even set of 56 nodes, but the ultimate verification...

The moduli space of commutative algebras of finite rank

Bjorn Poonen (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The moduli space of rank- $n$ commutative algebras equipped with an ordered basis is an affine scheme $𝔅_{n}$ of finite type over $ℤ$ , with geometrically connected fibers. It is smooth if and only if $n \leq 3$ . It is reducible if $n \geq 8$ (and the converse holds, at least if we remove the fibers above $2$ and $3$ ). The relative dimension of $𝔅_{n}$ is $\frac{2}{27} n^{3} + O (n^{8 / 3})$ . The subscheme parameterizing étale algebras is isomorphic to ${GL}_{n} / S_{n}$ , which is of dimension only $n^{2}$ . For $n \geq 8$ , there exist algebras that are not limits of étale algebras. The dimension...

Bridgeland-stable moduli spaces for $K$ -trivial surfaces

Daniele Arcara, Aaron Bertram (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We give a one-parameter family of Bridgeland stability conditions on the derived category of a smooth projective complex surface $S$ and describe “wall-crossing behavior” for objects with the same invariants as $𝒪_{C} (H)$ when $H$ generates Pic $(S)$ and $C \in |H|$ . If, in addition, $S$ is a $K 3$ or Abelian surface, we use this description to construct a sequence of fine moduli spaces of Bridgeland-stable objects via Mukai flops and generalized elementary modifications of the universal coherent sheaf. We also discover...

On weak $i$ -homotopy equivalences of modules

Zheng-Xu He (1984)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti

Similarity:

Si definisce il gruppo di $i$ —omotopia di un singolo modulo e si introduce la nozione di equivalenza $i$ -omotopica debole. Sotto determinate condizioni per l'anello di base $\Lambda$ oppure per i moduli considerati, le equivalenze $i$ -omotopiche deboli coincidono con le equivalenze $i$ -omotopiche (forti).

Cluster ensembles, quantization and the dilogarithm

Vladimir V. Fock, Alexander B. Goncharov (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

A cluster ensemble is a pair $(𝒳, 𝒜)$ of positive spaces (i.e. varieties equipped with positive atlases), coming with an action of a symmetry group $Γ$ . The space $𝒜$ is closely related to the spectrum of a cluster algebra [12]. The two spaces are related by a morphism $p : 𝒜 \to 𝒳$ . The space $𝒜$ is equipped with a closed $2$ -form, possibly degenerate, and the space $𝒳$ has a Poisson structure. The map $p$ is compatible with these structures. The dilogarithm together with its motivic and quantum avatars plays a central...

On Zariski's theorem in positive characteristic

Ilya Tyomkin (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In the current paper we show that the dimension of a family $V$ of irreducible reduced curves in a given ample linear system on a toric surface $S$ over an algebraically closed field is bounded from above by $- K_{S} . C + p_{g} (C) - 1$ , where $C$ denotes a general curve in the family. This result generalizes a famous theorem of Zariski to the case of positive characteristic. We also explore new phenomena that occur in positive characteristic: We show that the equality $𝚍𝚒𝚖 (V) = - K_{S} . C + p_{g} (C) - 1$ does not imply the nodality of $C$ even if $C$ belongs...

Quantum Singularity Theory for $A_{(r - 1)}$ and $r$ -Spin Theory

Huijun Fan, Tyler Jarvis, Yongbin Ruan (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We give a review of our construction of a cohomological field theory for quasi-homogeneous singularities and the $r$ -spin theory of Jarvis-Kimura-Vaintrob. We further prove that for a singularity $W$ of type $A$ our construction of the stack of $W$ -curves is canonically isomorphic to the stack of $r$ -spin curves described by Abramovich and Jarvis. We further prove that our theory satisfies all the Jarvis-Kimura-Vaintrob axioms for an $r$ -spin virtual class. Therefore, the Faber-Shadrin-Zvonkine...
