Abstract

I will talk about work with Hacking, Keel and Siebert on using miror constructions to providepartial compactifications of the moduli of K3 surfaces. Starting with a one-parameter maximallyunipotent degeneration of Picard rank 19 K3 surfaces, we construct, using methods of myself and Siebert, a mirror family which is defined in a formal neiahbourhood of a union of strata of a toricvariety whose fan is defined, to first approximation, as the Mori fan of the original degenerationThis formal family may then be glued in to the moduli space of polarized k3 surfaces to obtain apartial compactification. Perhaps the most significant by-product of this construction is theexistence of theta functions in this formal neiahbourhood, certain canonical bases for sections ofpowers of the polarizing line bundle.

      Moduli Superspaces | BIMSA AG Seminar

      AbstractIn this talk l want to show that the theory of moduli spaces of stable curves and stable maps hasan interesting supergeometric generalization. Using the component field formalism we will showhow the moduli space of super J-holomorhpic curves extends the moduli space of classical Jholomorphic curves. in genus zero the moduli spaces of super stable maps and super stablecurves can then be ...
