While the Chow groups of 0-dimensional cycles on the moduli spaces of Deligne-Mumford stable pointed curves can be very complicated, the span of the 0-dimensional tautological cycles is always of rank 1. The question of whether a given moduli point [C,p_1,...,p_n] determines a tautological 0-cycle is subtle. Our main results address the question for curves on rational and K3 surfaces. If C is a nonsingular curve on a nonsingular rational surface of positive degree with respect to the anticanonical class, we prove [C,p_1,...,p_n] is tautological if the number of markings does not exceed the virtual dimension in Gromov-Witten theory of the moduli space of stable maps. If C is a nonsingular curve on a K3 surface, we prove [C,p_1,...,p_n] is tautological if the number of markings does not exceed the genus of C and every marking is a Beauville-Voisin point. The latter result provides a connection between the rank 1 tautological 0-cycles on the moduli of curves and the rank 1 tautological 0-cycles on K3 surfaces. Several further results related to tautological 0-cycles on the moduli spaces of curves are proven. Many open questions concerning the moduli points of curves on other surfaces (Abelian, Enriques, general type) are discussed. Comment: Published version

Abstract We show that the K-moduli spaces of log Fano pairs $\left(\mathbb {P}^1\times \mathbb {P}^1, cC\right)$ , where C is a $(4,4)$ curve and their wall crossings coincide with the VGIT quotients of $(2,4)$ , complete intersection curves in $\mathbb {P}^3$ . This, together with recent results by Laza and O’Grady, implies that these K-moduli spaces form a natural interpolation between the GIT moduli space of $(4,4)$ curves on $\mathbb {P}^1\times \mathbb {P}^1$ and the Baily–Borel compactification of moduli of quartic hyperelliptic K3 surfaces.

Recently Calabi–Yau threefolds have been studied intensively by physicists and mathematicians. They are used as physical models of superstring theory [Y] and they are one of the building blocks in the classification of complex threefolds [KMM]. These are three dimensional analogues of K3 surfaces. However, there is a fundamental difference as is to be expected. For K3 surfaces, the moduli space N of K3 surfaces is irreducible of dimension 20, inside which a countable number of families Ng with g [ges ] 2 of algebraic K3 surfaces of dimension 19 lie as a dense subset. More explicitly, an element in Ng is (S, H), where S is a K3 surface and H is a primitive ample divisor on S with H2 = 2g − 2. For a generic (S, H), Pic (S) is generated by H, so that the rank of the Picard group of S is 1. A generic surface S in N is not algebraic and it has Pic (S) = 0, but dim N = h1(S, TS) = 20 [BPV]. It is quite an interesting problem whether or not the moduli space M of all Calabi–Yau threefolds is irreducible in some sense [R]. A Calabi–Yau threefold is algebraic if and only if it is Kaehler, while every non-algebraic K3 surface is still Kaehler. Inspired by the K3 case, we define Mh,d to be {(X, H)[mid ]H3 = h, c2(X) · H = d}, where H is a primitive ample divisor on a smooth Calabi–Yau threefold X. There are two parameters h, d for algebraic Calabi–Yau threefolds, while there is only one parameter g for algebraic K3 surfaces. (Note that c2(S) = 24 for every K3 surface.) We know that Ng is of dimension 19 for every g and is irreducible but we do not know the dimension of Mh,d and whether or not Mh,d is irreducible. In fact, the dimension of Mh,d = h1(X, TX), where (X, H) ∈ Mh,d. Furthermore, it is well known that χ(X) = 2 (rank of Pic (X) − h1(X, TX)), where χ(X) is the topological Euler characteristic of X. Calabi–Yau threefolds with Picard rank one are primitive [G] and play an important role in the moduli spaces of all Calabi–Yau threefolds. In this paper we give a bound on c3 of Calabi–Yau threefolds with Picard rank 1.

We contribute to the foundations of tropical geometry with a view toward formulating tropical moduli problems, and with the moduli space of curves as our main example. We propose a moduli functor for the moduli space of curves and show that it is representable by a geometric stack over the category of rational polyhedral cones. In this framework, the natural forgetful morphisms between moduli spaces of curves with marked points function as universal curves. Our approach to tropical geometry permits tropical moduli problems—moduli of curves or otherwise—to be extended to logarithmic schemes. We use this to construct a smooth tropicalization morphism from the moduli space of algebraic curves to the moduli space of tropical curves, and we show that this morphism commutes with all of the tautological morphisms.

Abstract.We show that the image of the moduli space of stable bundles on an Enriques surface by the pull back map is a Lagrangian subvariety in the moduli space of stable bundles, which is a symplectic variety, on the covering K3 surface. We also describe singularities and some other features of it.

AbstractWe enlarge the class of Rapoport–Zink spaces of Hodge type by modifying the centers of the associated $p$-adic reductive groups. Such obtained Rapoport–Zink spaces are said to be of abelian type. The class of Rapoport–Zink spaces of abelian type is strictly larger than the class of Rapoport–Zink spaces of Hodge type, but the two type spaces are closely related as having isomorphic connected components. The rigid analytic generic fibers of Rapoport–Zink spaces of abelian type can be viewed as moduli spaces of local $G$-shtukas in mixed characteristic in the sense of Scholze.We prove that Shimura varieties of abelian type can be uniformized by the associated Rapoport–Zink spaces of abelian type. We construct and study the Ekedahl–Oort stratifications for the special fibers of Rapoport–Zink spaces of abelian type. As an application, we deduce a Rapoport–Zink type uniformization for the supersingular locus of the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces in mixed characteristic. Moreover, we show that the Artin invariants of supersingular K3 surfaces are related to some purely local invariants.

After abelian varieties, K3 surfaces are the second most interesting special class of varieties. These have a rich internal geometry and a highly interesting moduli theory. Paralleling the famous Torelli theorem, results from Mukai and Orlov show that two K3 surfaces have equivalent derived categories precisely when their cohomologies are isomorphic weighing two Hodge structures. Their techniques also give an almost complete description of the cohomological action of the group of autoequivalences of the derived category of a K3 surface. The basic definitions and fundamental facts from K3 surface theory are recalled. As moduli spaces of stable sheaves on K3 surfaces are crucial for the argument, a brief outline of their theory is presented.

AbstractWe construct new examples of solutions of the Hull–Strominger system on non-Kähler torus bundles over K3 surfaces, with the property that the connection {\nabla} on the tangent bundle is Hermite–Yang–Mills. With this ansatz for the connection {\nabla}, we show that the existence of solutions reduces to known results about moduli spaces of slope-stable sheaves on a K3 surface, combined with elementary analytical methods. We apply our construction to find the first examples of T-dual solutions of the Hull–Strominger system on compact non-Kähler manifolds with different topology.

We consider the singuralities of 2-dimensional moduli spaces of semi-stable sheaves on k3 surfaces. We show that the moduli space is normal, in particular the siguralities are rational double points. We also describe the exceptional locus on the resolution in terms of exceptional sheaves.

AbstractIn [5], Eklund showed that a general (ℤ/2ℤ)4 -invariant quartic K3 surface contains at least 320 conics. In this paper, we analyse the field of definition of those conics as well as their Monodromy group. As a result, we prove that the moduli space of (ℤ/2ℤ)4-invariant quartic K3 surface with a certain marked conic has 10 irreducible components.
