The study of the mapping class group Mod(S) is a classical topic that is experiencing a renaissance. It lies at the juncture of geometry, topology, and group theory. This book explains as many important theorems, examples, and techniques as possible, quickly and directly, while at the same time giving full details and keeping the text nearly self-contained. The book is suitable for graduate students. It begins by explaining the main group-theoretical properties of Mod(S), from finite generation by Dehn twists and low-dimensional homology to the Dehn–Nielsen–Baer–theorem. Along the way, central objects and tools are introduced, such as the Birman exact sequence, the complex of curves, the braid group, the symplectic representation, and the Torelli group. The book then introduces Teichmüller space and its geometry, and uses the action of Mod(S) on it to prove the Nielsen-Thurston classification of surface homeomorphisms. Topics include the topology of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, the connection with surface bundles, pseudo-Anosov theory, and Thurston's approach to the classification.

Abstract We study codimension one holomorphic distributions on the projective three-space, analyzing the properties of their singular schemes and tangent sheaves. In particular, we provide a classification of codimension one distributions of degree at most 2 with locally free tangent sheaves and show that codimension one distributions of arbitrary degree with only isolated singularities have stable tangent sheaves. Furthermore, we describe the moduli space of distributions in terms of Grothendieck’s Quot-scheme for the tangent bundle. In certain cases, we show that the moduli space of codimension one distributions on the projective space is an irreducible, nonsingular quasi-projective variety. Finally, we prove that every rational foliation and certain logarithmic foliations have stable tangent sheaves.

We consider versal deformations of 0|3-dimensional L∞ algebras, also called strongly homotopy Lie algebras, which correspond precisely to ordinary (non-graded) three-dimensional Lie algebras. The classification of such algebras is well-known, although we shall give a derivation of this classification using an approach of treating them as L∞ algebras. Because the symmetric algebra of a three-dimensional odd vector space contains terms only of exterior degree less than or equal to three, the construction of versal deformations can be carried out completely. We give a characterization of the moduli space of Lie algebras using deformation theory as a guide to understanding the picture.

Connection 1-forms on principal fiber bundles with arbitrary structure groups are considered, and a characterization of gauge-equivalent connections in terms of their associated holonomy groups is given. These results are then applied to invariant connections in the case where the symmetry group acts transitively on fibers, and both local and global conditions are derived which lead to an algebraic procedure for classifying orbits in the moduli space of these connections. As an application of the developed techniques, explicit solutions for SU (2) × SU (2)-symmetric connections over S2 × S2, with SU(2) structure group, are derived and classified into non-gauge-related families, and multi-instanton solutions are identified.

AbstractWe study the action of the horocycle flow on the moduli space of abelian differentials in genus two. In particular, we exhibit a classification of a specific class of probability measures that are invariant and ergodic under the horocycle flow on the stratum ℋ(1,1).

AbstractWe construct six infinite series of families of pairs of curves (X,Y ) of arbitrarily high genus, defined over number fields, together with an explicit isogeny from the Jacobian of X to the Jacobian of Y splitting multiplication by 2, 3 or 4. For each family, we compute the isomorphism type of the isogeny kernel and the dimension of the image of the family in the appropriate moduli space. The families are derived from Cassou-Noguès and Couveignes’ explicit classification of pairs (f,g) of polynomials such that f(x1)−g(x2) is reducible.Supplementary materials are available with this article.

Abstract We study smoothing of pencils of curves on surfaces with normal crossings. As a consequence we show that the canonical divisor of $\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{g,n}$ is not pseudoeffective in some range, implying that $\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{12,6}$ , $\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{12,7}$ , $\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{13,4}$ and $\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{14,3}$ are uniruled. We provide upper bounds for the Kodaira dimension of $\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{12,8}$ and $\overline {\mathcal {M}}_{16}$ . We also show that the moduli space of $(4g+5)$ -pointed hyperelliptic curves $\overline {\mathcal {H}}_{g,4g+5}$ is uniruled. Together with a recent result of Schwarz, this concludes the classification of moduli of pointed hyperelliptic curves with negative Kodaira dimension.

It is well known that the moduli space of stable rank 2 vector bundles on ℙ2 of the fixed topological type is an irreducible smooth variety ([1], and [8]). There are also many known results on the classification of stable rank 2 vector bundles on ℙ3 with “small” Chern classes.

We classify orbifold geometries which can be interpreted as moduli spaces of four-dimensional \mathcal{N}\geq 3𝒩≥3 superconformal field theories up to rank 2 (complex dimension 6). The large majority of the geometries we find correspond to moduli spaces of known theories or discretely gauged version of them. Remarkably, we find 6 geometries which are not realized by any known theory, of which 3 have an \mathcal{N}=2𝒩=2 Coulomb branch slice with a non-freely generated coordinate ring, suggesting the existence of new, exotic \mathcal{N}=3𝒩=3 theories.
