Algebraic Geometry Seminar | Ball quotients and moduli spaces

Time：2023-12-15, Friday 15:30-16:30

Venue：Zoom meeting ID: 455 260 1552 Pw: YMSC;Tsinghua West Stepping Classroom 清华西阶梯教室

Organizer：Caucher Birkar，曲三太，陈炳仪

Speaker：Klaus Hulek Universität Hannover

Abstract：

Many moduli spaces can be described as ball quotients. Examples include the Deligne-Mostow varieties, moduli of cubic surfaces and certain moduli spaces of lattice-polarized $K3$ surfaces. Here I will discuss the geometry of some of these examples, including their topology and different (partial) resolutions. I will also comment on the relationship with the Minimal Model Program. This talked is based on joint work with S. Casalaina-Martin, S. Grushewsky, R. Laza and Y. Maeda.

Moduli Spaces and Related Topics | Mixed-Spin-P fields for GIT quotients
Abstract：The theory of Mixed-Spin fields was introduced by Chang-Li-Li-Liu for the quintic threefold, aiming at studying its higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants. Chang-Guo-Li has successfully applied it to prove famous conjectures on the higher-genus Gromov-Witten invariants proposed by physicists. In this talk I will explain a generalization of the construction to more spaces. The generaliz...
