Blown-up toric surfaces with non-polyhedral effective cone

AM Castravet, A Laface, J Tevelev… - Journal für die reine und …, 2023 - degruyter.com
We construct projective toric surfaces whose blow-up at a general point has a non-
polyhedral pseudo-effective cone. As a consequence, we prove that the pseudo-effective …

Alternate compactifications of moduli spaces of curves

M Fedorchuk, DI Smyth - arXiv preprint arXiv:1012.0329, 2010 - arxiv.org
We give an informal survey, emphasizing examples and open problems, of two
interconnected research programs in moduli of curves: the systematic classification of …

Keel's base point free theorem and quotients in mixed characteristic

J Witaszek - Annals of Mathematics, 2022 - projecteuclid.org
We develop techniques of mimicking the Frobenius action in the study of universal
homeomorphisms in mixed characteristic. As a consequence, we show a mixed …

Square-tiled surfaces and rigid curves on moduli spaces

D Chen - arXiv preprint arXiv:1003.0731, 2010 - arxiv.org
This work is motivated by two central questions in the birational geometry of moduli spaces
of curves--Fulton's conjecture and the effective cone of $\bar M_g $. We study the algebro …

sln Level 1 Conformal Blocks Divisors on M̄0,n

M Arap, A Gibney, J Stankewicz… - International …, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study a family of semiample divisors on the moduli space ̄\mathcalM_0,n that come
from the theory of conformal blocks for the Lie algebra sl_n and level 1. The divisors we …

Higher-level conformal blocks divisors on

V Alexeev, A Gibney, D Swinarski - Proceedings of the Edinburgh …, 2014 - cambridge.org
We study a family of semi-ample divisors on the moduli space of n-pointed genus 0 curves
given by higher-level conformal blocks. We derive formulae for their intersections with a …

Extreme Divisors on M‾ 0, 7 and Differences over Characteristic 2

MD Sikirić, E Jovinelly - Michigan Mathematical Journal, 2024 - projecteuclid.org
We find 101,052 new extreme divisors on M0, 7 (in 31 S7-orbits) and millions of extreme nef
curves over characteristic 0. Over characteristic 2, we identify two more S7-orbits of extreme …

NONVANISHING OF CONFORMAL BLOCKS DIVISORS ON

P Belkale, A Gibney, S Mukhopadhyay - Transformation Groups, 2016 - Springer
We introduce and study the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions under
which a conformal blocks divisor on M¯ 0, n M _ 0, n is nonzero, solving the problem …
