On GIT quotients of Hilbert and Chow schemes of curves
2011
The aim of this note is to announce some results on the GIT problem for the Hilbert and Chow scheme of curves of degree d and genus g in P^{d-g}, whose full details will appear in a subsequent paper. In particular, we extend the previous results of L. Caporaso up to d>4(2g-2) and we observe that this is sharp. In the range 2(2g-2)<d<7/2(2g-2), we get a complete new description of the GIT quotient. As a corollary, we get a new compactification of the universal Jacobian over the moduli space of pseudo-stable curves.
On the Oort conjecture for Shimura varieties of unitary and orthogonal types
2014
In this paper we study the Oort conjecture on Shimura subvarieties contained generically in the Torelli locus in the Siegel modular variety $\mathcal{A}_g$. Using the poly-stability of Higgs bundles on curves and the slope inequality of Xiao on fibred surfaces, we show that a Shimura curve $C$ is not contained generically in the Torelli locus if its canonical Higgs bundles contains a unitary Higgs subbundle of rank at least $(4g+2)/5$. From this we prove that a Shimura subvariety of $\mathbf{SU}(n,1)$-type is not contained generically in the Torelli locus when a numerical inequality holds, which involves the genus $g$, the dimension $n+1$, the degree $2d$ of CM field of the Hermitian space,…
On symplectically rigid local systems of rank four and Calabi–Yau operators
2013
AbstractWe classify all Sp4(C)-rigid, quasi-unipotent local systems and show that all of them have geometric origin. Furthermore, we investigate which of those having a maximal unipotent element are induced by fourth order Calabi–Yau operators. Via this approach, we reconstruct all known Calabi–Yau operators inducing an Sp4(C)-rigid monodromy tuple and obtain closed formulae for special solutions of them.
Functional equations of the dilogarithm in motivic cohomology
2009
We prove relations between fractional linear cycles in Bloch's integral cubical higher Chow complex in codimension two of number fields, which correspond to functional equations of the dilogarithm. These relations suffice, as we shall demonstrate with a few examples, to write down enough relations in Bloch's integral higher Chow group CH^2(F,3) for certain number fields F to detect torsion cycles. Using the regulator map to Deligne cohomology, one can check the non-triviality of the torsion cycles thus obtained. Using this combination of methods, we obtain explicit higher Chow cycles generating the integral motivic cohomology groups of some number fields.
The associated graded module of the test module filtration
2017
We show that each direct summand of the associated graded module of the test module filtration $\tau(M, f^\lambda)_{\lambda \geq 0}$ admits a natural Cartier structure. If $\lambda$ is an $F$-jumping number, then this Cartier structure is nilpotent on $\tau(M, f^{\lambda -\varepsilon})/\tau(M, f^\lambda)$ if and only if the denominator of $\lambda$ is divisible by $p$. We also show that these Cartier structures coincide with certain Cartier structures that are obtained by considering certain $\mathcal{D}$-modules associated to $M$ that were used to construct Bernstein-Sato polynomials. Moreover, we point out that the zeros of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial $b_{M,f}$ attached to an \emph{$F$-…
Complexity of gauge bounded Cartier algebras
2019
We show that a gauge bounded Cartier algebra has finite complexity. We also give an example showing that the converse does not hold in general.Communicated by Graham J. Leuschke
Chern classes of the moduli stack of curves
2005
Here we calculate the Chern classes of ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_{g,n}$, the moduli stack of stable n-pointed curves. In particular, we prove that such classes lie in the tautological ring.
The Period Isomorphism
2017
The aim of this section is to define well-behaved isomorphisms between singular and de Rham cohomology of algebraic varieties.
On the slope of hyperelliptic fibrations with positive relative irregularity
2016
Let $f:\, S \to B$ be a locally non-trivial relatively minimal fibration of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g\geq 2$ with relative irregularity $q_f$. We show a sharp lower bound on the slope $\lambda_f$ of $f$. As a consequence, we prove a conjecture of Barja and Stoppino on the lower bound of $\lambda_f$ as an increasing function of $q_f$ in this case, and we also prove a conjecture of Xiao on the ampleness of the direct image of the relative canonical sheaf if $\lambda_f<4$.
The Oort conjecture on Shimura curves in the Torelli locus of curves
2014
Oort has conjectured that there do not exist Shimura curves contained generically in the Torelli locus of genus-$g$ curves when $g$ is large enough. In this paper we prove the Oort conjecture for Shimura curves of Mumford type and Shimura curves parameterizing principally polarized $g$-dimensional abelian varieties isogenous to $g$-fold self-products of elliptic curves for $g>11$. We also prove that there do not exist Shimura curves contained generically in the Torelli locus of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g>7$. As a consequence, we obtain a finiteness result regarding smooth genus-$g$ curves with completely decomposable Jacobians, which is related to a question of Ekedahl and Serre.
