Moduli Spaces and Related Topics | On Hurwitz-Severi numbers

Time:2023-12-20, Wednesday, 10:00 am

Venue:C654, Shuangqing Complex Building

Organizer:Xiang He, Chenglong Yu, Dingxin Zhang, Jie Zhou

Speaker:Boris Shapiro Stockholm University

Abstract:

For a point p in CP2 and a triple (g, d, l) of non-negative integers we define a Hurwitz–Severi number Hg,d,l as the number of generic irreducible plane curves of genus g and degree d+l having an l-fold node at p and at most ordinary nodes as singularities at the other points, such that the projection of the curve from p has a prescribed set of local and remote tangents and lines passing through nodes. Under certain conditions we express the above Hurwitz-Severi numbers via appropriate Hurwitz numbers. Several questions will be posed.

      Moduli Spaces and Related Topics | Hitchin morphism for projective varieties

      Abstract:The Hitchin morphism is a map from the moduli space of Higgs bundles to the Hitchin base, which is generally not surjective when the dimension of the variety is greater than one. Chen-Ngo introduced the concept of the spectral base, which is a closed subscheme of the Hitchin base. They conjectured that the Hitchin morphism is surjective to the spectral base and also proved that the su...
