    Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mathematics, 2005.Includes bibliographical references (p. 113-116).We study the tautological classes of the Kontsevich-Manin moduli spaces of genus 0 stable maps to SL flag varieties. We prove that the rational cohomology and rational Chow rings of these spaces are isomorphic and that they are generated by tautological classes. In the case when the target is a projective space, we present a second proof of this result in the spirit of Gromov-Witten theory by making use of a suitable torus action. In addition, we explicitly describe a Bialynicki-Birula stratification of the Kontsevich-Manin spaces in terms of the Gathmann-Li spaces of relative stable morphisms. Finally, we analyze the small codimension classes on the space of maps to arbitrary flag varieties. We obtain an explicit description of the Picard groups. We formulate a conjecture about relations between the tautological generators, which we check in low codimension.by Dragos Nicolae Oprea.Ph.D

    Big and Nef Tautological Vector Bundles over the Hilbert Scheme of Points

    We study tautological vector bundles over the Hilbert scheme of points on surfaces. For each -trivial surface, we write down a simple criterion ensuring that the tautological bundles are big and nef, and illustrate it by examples. In the 3 case, we extend recent constructions and results of Bini, Boissière, and Flamini from the Hilbert scheme of 2 and 3 points to an arbitrary number of points. Among the -trivial surfaces, the case of Enriques surfaces is the most involved. Our techniques apply to other smooth projective surfaces, including blowups of 3s and minimal surfaces of general type, as well as to the punctual Quot schemes of curves.We are grateful to G. Bini, S. Boissiere, and F. Flamini for correspondence related to [7]; their paper served as motivation for this work. We thank A. Marian and R. Pandharipande for collaboration that led to [25, 26, 27, 33]. We thank the referees for their careful reading of the manuscript and for their comments.

    We show that the rational cohomology classes on the moduli spaces of genus zero stable maps to S L SL flag varieties are tautological.</p
