Abstract The main result of this paper is the statement that the Hodge theoretic Donaldson–Thomas invariant for a quiver with zero potential and a generic stability condition agrees with the compactly supported intersection cohomology of the closure of the stable locus inside the associated coarse moduli space of semistable quiver representations. In fact, we prove an even stronger result relating the Donaldson–Thomas “function” to the intersection complex. The proof of our main result relies on a relative version of the integrality conjecture in Donaldson–Thomas theory. This will be the topic of the second part of the paper, where the relative integrality conjecture will be proven in the motivic context.

In this paper the moduli space of Higgs pairs over a fixed smooth projective curve with extra formal data is defined and is endowed with a scheme structure. We introduce a relative version of the Krichever map using a fibration of Sato Grassmannians and show that this map is injective. This, together with the characterization of the points of the image of the Krichever map, allows us to prove that this moduli space is a closed subscheme of the product of the moduli of vector bundles (with formal extra data) and a formal anologue of the Hitchin base. This characterization also provides us with a method for explicitly computing KP-type equations that describe the moduli space of Higgs pairs. Finally, for the case where the spectral cover is totally ramified at a fixed point of the curve, these equations are given in terms of the characteristic coefficients of the Higgs field.

We survey recent progress in the study of moduli of vector bundles on higher-dimensional base manifolds. In particular, we discuss an algebro-geometric construction of an analogue for the Donaldson–Uhlenbeck compactification and explain how to use moduli spaces of quiver representations to show that Gieseker–Maruyama moduli spaces with respect to two different chosen polarizations are related via Thaddeus-flips through other “multi-Gieseker”-moduli spaces of sheaves. Moreover, as a new result, we show the existence of a natural morphism from a multi-Gieseker moduli space to the corresponding Donaldson–Uhlenbeck moduli space.

The representation space X(G) = Hom (π, G)/G of the fundamental group π of a Riemann surface Σ of genus g ≥ 2 is the symplectic reduction of the extended moduli space defined in [6]. Using this description, we study the local structure of X(G) and show that the assumptions of the splitting theorem [11, Theorem 7.7] are satisfied. Hence the middle perversity intersection cohomology is canonically isomorphic to a subspace of the equivariant cohomology [Formula: see text] which can be computed quite explicitly. The case when G = SU(2) is discussed in detail.

AbstractWe situate the noncrossing partitions associated with a finite Coxeter group within the context of the representation theory of quivers. We describe Reading’s bijection between noncrossing partitions and clusters in this context, and show that it extends to the extended Dynkin case. Our setup also yields a new proof that the noncrossing partitions associated with a finite Coxeter group form a lattice. We also prove some new results within the theory of quiver representations. We show that the finitely generated, exact abelian, and extension-closed subcategories of the representations of a quiver Q without oriented cycles are in natural bijection with the cluster tilting objects in the associated cluster category. We also show that these subcategories are exactly the finitely generated categories that can be obtained as the semistable objects with respect to some stability condition.

The purpose of this paper is to describe a method for computing homotopy groups of the space of α-stable representations of a quiver with fixed dimension vector and stability parameter α. The main result is that the homotopy groups of this space are trivial up to a certain dimension, which depends on the quiver, the choice of dimension vector, and the choice of parameter. As a corollary we also compute low dimensional homotopy groups of the moduli space of α-stable representations of the quiver with fixed dimension vector, and apply the theory to the space of non-degenerate polygons in three-dimensional Euclidean space.

Abstract Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus $2$ . Following a method by O’Grady, we construct a semismall desingularisation $\tilde {\mathcal {M}}_{Dol}^G$ of the moduli space $\mathcal {M}_{Dol}^G$ of semistable G-Higgs bundles of degree 0 for $G=\mathrm {GL}(2,\mathbb {C}), \mathrm {SL}(2,\mathbb {C})$ . By the decomposition theorem of Beilinson, Bernstein and Deligne, one can write the cohomology of $\tilde {\mathcal {M}}_{Dol}^G$ as a direct sum of the intersection cohomology of $\mathcal {M}_{Dol}^G$ plus other summands supported on the singular locus. We use this splitting to compute the intersection cohomology of $\mathcal {M}_{Dol}^G$ and prove that the mixed Hodge structure on it is pure, in analogy with what happens to ordinary cohomology in the smooth case of coprime rank and degree.

AbstractWe show that the degree of Gauss maps on abelian varieties is semicontinuous in families, and we study its jump loci. As an application we obtain that in the case of theta divisors this degree answers the Schottky problem. Our proof computes the degree of Gauss maps by specialization of Lagrangian cycles on the cotangent bundle. We also get similar results for the intersection cohomology of varieties with a finite morphism to an abelian variety; it follows that many components of Andreotti–Mayer loci, including the Schottky locus, are part of the stratification of the moduli space of ppav’s defined by the topological type of the theta divisor.

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.
