Constructs projective moduli spaces for Calabi-Yau pairs.

We construct a nonsmoothable Z\times Z-action on the connected sum of an Enriques surface and S^2\times S^2, such that each of generators is smoothable. We also construct a nonsmoothable self-homeomorphism on an Enriques surface.

The quotients $Y=X/conj$ by the complex conjugation $conj\: X\to X$ for complex rational and Enriques surfaces $X$ defined over $\R$ are shown to be diffeomorphic to connected sums of $\barCP2$, whenever $Y$ are simply connected.

We survey our recent new results on the geometry of Teichmuller and moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces and Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Survey on rational curves on complex surfaces, highlighting different approaches.

Generalizing the well-known Shafarevich hyperbolicity conjecture, it has been conjectured by Viehweg that a quasi-projective manifold that admits a generically finite morphism to the moduli stack of canonically polarized varieties is necessarily of log general type. Given a quasi-projective threefold Y that admits a no…

The paper proves a smooth Birman-Hilden theorem for hyperkähler manifolds.

We study the change of moduli spaces of Gieseker-semistable torsion free rank-$2$ sheaves on algebraic surfaces as we vary the polarizations. When the surfaces are rational with an effective anti-canonical divisor, the moduli spaces are linked by a series of flips (blowups and blowdowns). Using these results, we comput…

Study topological hyperbolicity of moduli spaces of elliptic surfaces.

We study branched covering spaces in several contexts, proving that under suitable circumstances the cover satisfies the same upper curvature bounds as the base space. The first context is of a branched cover of an arbitrary metric space that satisfies Alexandrov's curvature condition CAT(k), over an arbitrary complete…

Study of K-moduli of prime Fano threefolds of genus twelve, proving boundary purely divisorial.

We present methods to construct interesting surfaces of general type via $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing of a singular surface obtained from an elliptic surface. By applying our methods to special Enriques surfaces, we construct new examples of a minimal surface of general type with $p_g=0$, $π_1=\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{…

Global rigidity theorem for curve to abelian variety maps.

Given a one parameter flat family of polarized algebraic varieties, we show that any K-stable limit is unique. In particular, moduli spaces of K-stable polarized varieties are automatically Hausdorff when they exist. We also give a characterization of K-stable limits in terms of the CM line bundle, and some application…

In this paper, we study the Chern classes on the moduli space of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. We prove that the integrations of the invariants of the curvature of the Weil-Petersson metric are finite. In some special cases, they are even rational numbers.

The study shows boundedness and constructs a moduli space for Calabi-Yau fibrations.

We study null Sasakian structures in dimension five. First, based on a result due to Kollár [Ko], we improve a result by Boyer, Galicki and Matzeu in [BGM] and prove that simply connected manifolds diffeomorphic to $# k(S^2\times S^3)$ admit null Sasaki $η$-Einstein structures if and only if $k\in \{3,..., 21\}$. After…

In a family of compact, canonically polarized, complex manifolds the first variation of the lengths of closed geodesics is computed. As an application, we show the coincidence of the Fenchel-Nielsen and Weil-Petersson symplectic forms on the Teichmueller spaces of compact Riemann surfaces in a purely geometric way. The…

Given any compact Riemann surface $C$, there is a canonical meromorphic 2--form $\widehatη$ on $C\times C$, with pole of order two on the diagonal $Δ\, \subset\, C\times C$, constructed in \cite{cfg}. This meromorphic 2--form $\widehatη$ produces a canonical projective structure on $C$. On the other hand the uniformiza…

In this paper, we give an expression and some estimates of the curvature tensor of the Hodge metric over the moduli space of a polarized Calabi-Yau threefold. The symmetricity of the Yukawa coupling is also studied. In the last section of this paper, an extra restriction of the limiting Hodge structure for the degenera…

We prove that the CM line bundle is ample on the proper moduli space which parametrizes KSBA stable varieties.

We compactify the classical moduli variety $A_g$ of principally polarized abelian varieties of complex dimension $g$ by attaching the moduli of flat tori of real dimensions at most $g$ in an explicit manner. Equivalently, we explicitly determine the Gromov-Hausdorff limits of principally polarized abelian varieties. Th…

Operads help quantify polygon spaces, proving dimensions equal.

In this paper, we construct a completion of the moduli space for polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds by using Ricci-flat Kähler-Einstein metrics and the Gromov-Hausdorff topology, which parameterizes certain Calabi-Yau varieties. We then study the algebro-geometric perperties and the Weil-Petersson geometry of such completi…

We study the classification of smooth toroidal compactifications of nonuniform ball quotients in the sense of Kodaira and Enriques. Moreover, several results concerning the Riemannian and complex algebraic geometry of these spaces are given. In particular we show that there are compact complex surfaces which admit Riem…

The paper proves geometrical finiteness for automorphism groups of K3 surfaces and related varieties.

In this article, we prove that a quotient of a K3 surface by a free Z_2+Z_2 action does not admit any metric of positive scalar curvature. This shows that the scalar flat anti self-dual metrics (SF-ASD) on this manifold can not be obtained from a family of metrics for which the scalar curvature changes sign, contrary t…

We prove that the first Chern form of the moduli space of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds, with the Hodge metric or the Weil-Petersson metric, represent the first Chern class of the canonical extensions of the tangent bundle to the compactification of the moduli space with normal crossing divisors.

In this paper, we generalize the polar transforms of spacelike isothermic surfaces in $Q^4_1$ to n-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian space forms $Q^n_r$. We show that there exist $c-$polar spacelike isothermic surfaces derived from a spacelike isothermic surface in $Q^n_r$, which are into $S^{n+1}_r(c)$, $H^{n+1}_{r-1}(c)$…

Modulo trivial exceptions, we show that smoothly nontrivial symplectic sums of symplectic 4-manifolds along surfaces of positive genus are never rational or ruled, and we enumerate each case in which they have Kodaira dimension zero (i.e., are blowups of symplectic 4-manifolds with torsion canonical class). In particul…

The classification of class VII surfaces is a very difficult classical problem in complex geometry. It is considered by experts to be the most important gap in the Enriques-Kodaira classification table for complex surfaces. The standard conjecture concerning this problem states that any minimal class VII surface with $…

We establish an unexpected relation among the Weil-Petersson metric, the generalized Hodge metrics and the BCOV torsion. Using this relation, we prove that certain kind of moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds do not admit complete subvarieties. That is, there is no complete family for certain class of polari…

This paper deals with skew ruled surfaces in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$ which are equipped with polar normalizations, that is, relative normalizations such that the relative normal at each point of the ruled surface lies on the corresponding polar plane. We determine the invariants of a such normalized ruled …

We study possible real structures in the space of solutions to the quantum differential equation. We show that, under mild conditions, a real structure in orbifold quantum cohomology yields a pure and polarized tt^*-geometry near the large radius limit. We compute an example of P^1 which is pure and polarized over the …

We give a simple sufficient condition for K-stability of polarized del Pezzo surfaces and for the existence of a constant scalar curvature Kahler metric in the Kahler class corresponding to the polarization.

Study extends gauge-theoretic invariant to higher-dimensional Kahler surfaces and calculates homotopy groups.

We prove the conjecture of Oort that a compact subvariety of the moduli space of principally polarized Abelian varieties of genus g has codimension strictly greater than g, for g > 2, in characteristic zero

In this paper, we represent the Hodge metric in terms of the Weil-Petersson metric and its Ricci curvature on the moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau threefolds.

In this paper, we proved the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem on moduli space of polarized Kahler manifolds. Using our results, we proved the rationality of the Chern-Weil forms (with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric) on CY moduli. As an application in physics, by the Ashok-Douglas theory, counting the number of flux com…
