Abstract The moduli space M ¯ 0, n ( ℙ 1 , 1 ) ${{\bar{M}}_{0,n}}\left( {{\mathbb{P}}^{1}},1 \right)$ of n-pointed stable maps is a Mori dream space whenever the moduli space M ¯ 0 , n + 3   of   ( n + 3 ) ${{\bar{M}}_{0,n+3}}\; \text{of} \;(n+3)$ pointed rational curves is, and M ¯ 0 , n ( ℙ 1 , 1 ) ${{\bar{M}}_{0,n}}\left( {{\mathbb{P}}^{1}},1 \right)$ is a log Fano variety for n ≤ 5.

Let$X$be a smooth projective Fano variety over the complex numbers. We study the moduli space of rational curves on$X$using the perspective of Manin’s conjecture. In particular, we bound the dimension and number of components of spaces of rational curves on$X$. We propose a geometric Manin’s conjecture predicting the growth rate of a counting function associated to the irreducible components of these moduli spaces.

AbstractIn this paper we prove that the cone of effective divisors on the Kontsevich moduli spaces of stable maps, , stabilize when r ≥ d. We give a complete characterization of the effective divisors on . They are non-negative linear combinations of boundary divisors and the divisor of maps with degenerate image.

AbstractThe moduli space $\M _{g,n}$ of n-pointed stable curves of genus g is stratified by the topological type of the curves being parameterized: the closure of the locus of curves with k nodes has codimension k. The one-dimensional components of this stratification are smooth rational curves called F-curves. These are believed to determine all ample divisors. F-conjecture A divisor on $\M _{g,n}$ is ample if and only if it positively intersects theF-curves. In this paper, proving the F-conjecture on $\M _{g,n}$ is reduced to showing that certain divisors on $\M _{0,N}$ for N⩽g+n are equivalent to the sum of the canonical divisor plus an effective divisor supported on the boundary. Numerical criteria and an algorithm are given to check whether a divisor is ample. By using a computer program called the Nef Wizard, written by Daniel Krashen, one can verify the conjecture for low genus. This is done on $\M _g$ for g⩽24, more than doubling the number of cases for which the conjecture is known to hold and showing that it is true for the first genera such that $\M _g$ is known to be of general type.

We prove that every birationally superrigid Fano variety whose alpha invariant is greater than (respectively no smaller than) $\frac{1}{2}$ is K-stable (respectively K-semistable). We also prove that the alpha invariant of a birationally superrigid Fano variety of dimension $n$ is at least $1/(n+1)$ (under mild assumptions) and that the moduli space (if it exists) of birationally superrigid Fano varieties is separated.

A curve on a projective variety is called movable if it belongs to an algebraic family of curves covering the variety. We consider when the cone of movable curves can be characterized without existence statements of covering families by studying the complete intersection cone on a family of blow-ups of complex projective space, including the moduli space of stable six-pointed rational curves and the permutohedral or Losev–Manin moduli space of four-pointed rational curves. Our main result is that the movable and complete intersection cones coincide for the toric members of this family, but differ for the non-toric member, the moduli space of six-pointed rational curves. The proof is via an algorithm that applies in greater generality. We also give an example of a projective toric threefold for which these two cones differ.

We compare the Kontsevich moduli space [Formula: see text] of stable maps to projective space with the quasi-map space ℙ( Sym d(ℂ2) ⊗ ℂn)//SL(2). Consider the birational map [Formula: see text] which assigns to an n tuple of degree d homogeneous polynomials f1, …, fn in two variables, the map f = (f1 : ⋯ : fn) : ℙ1 → ℙn-1. In this paper, for d = 3, we prove that [Formula: see text] is the composition of three blow-ups followed by two blow-downs. Furthermore, we identify the blow-up/down centers explicitly in terms of the moduli spaces [Formula: see text] with d = 1, 2. In particular, [Formula: see text] is the SL(2)-quotient of a smooth rational projective variety. The degree two case [Formula: see text], which is the blow-up of ℙ( Sym 2ℂ2 ⊗ ℂn)//SL(2) along ℙn-1, is worked out as a preliminary example.

AbstractA trisymplectic structure on a complex $2n$-manifold is a three-dimensional space ${\rm\Omega}$ of closed holomorphic forms such that any element of ${\rm\Omega}$ has constant rank $2n$, $n$ or zero, and degenerate forms in ${\rm\Omega}$ belong to a non-degenerate quadric hypersurface. We show that a trisymplectic manifold is equipped with a holomorphic 3-web and the Chern connection of this 3-web is holomorphic, torsion-free, and preserves the three symplectic forms. We construct a trisymplectic structure on the moduli of regular rational curves in the twistor space of a hyperkähler manifold, and define a trisymplectic reduction of a trisymplectic manifold, which is a complexified form of a hyperkähler reduction. We prove that the trisymplectic reduction in the space of regular rational curves on the twistor space of a hyperkähler manifold $M$ is compatible with the hyperkähler reduction on $M$. As an application of these geometric ideas, we consider the ADHM construction of instantons and show that the moduli space of rank $r$, charge $c$ framed instanton bundles on $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{3}$ is a smooth trisymplectic manifold of complex dimension $4rc$. In particular, it follows that the moduli space of rank two, charge $c$ instanton bundles on $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{3}$ is a smooth complex manifold dimension $8c-3$, thus settling part of a 30-year-old conjecture.

AbstractWe study the postcritically finite maps within the moduli space of complex polynomial dynamical systems. We characterize rational curves in the moduli space containing an infinite number of postcritically finite maps, in terms of critical orbit relations, in two settings: (1) rational curves that are polynomially parameterized; and (2) cubic polynomials defined by a given fixed point multiplier. We offer a conjecture on the general form of algebraic subvarieties in the moduli space of rational maps on ${ \mathbb{P} }^{1} $ containing a Zariski-dense subset of postcritically finite maps.
