    No full text
    We construct explicitly a finite cover of the moduli stack of compact Riemann surfaces with a given group of symmetries by a smooth quasi-projective variety

    Orbifold Cohomology of ADE-singularities

    No full text
    In Chapter 1 we collect some basic definitions on orbifolds, morphisms of orbifolds and orbifold vector bundles. In Chapter 3 we first review the definition of orbifold cohomology ring for a complex orbifold, then we state the cohomological crepant resolution conjecture as given by Ruan in [52]. In Chapter 4 we define orbifolds with transversal ADE-singularities, see Definition 4.2.5. Then we give a description of the twisted sectors in general. Finally we specialize to orbifolds with transversal A_n-singularities and, under the technical assumption of trivial monodromy, we compute the orbifold cohomology ring. In Chapter 5 we study the crepant resolution. We first show that any variety with transversal ADE-singularities Y has a unique crepant resolution p : Z --> Y, Proposition 5. 2 .1. Then we restrict our attention to the case of transversal An-singularities and trivial monodromy and we give an explicit description of the cohomology ring of Z. Chapter 6 contains the computations of the Gromov-Witten invariants of Z in the A_n case. We also give a description of the quantum corrected cohomology ring of Z. In Chapter 7 we prove Ruan's conjecture in the Ai case and, in the A2 case with minor modifications

    Automorphisms of rational manifolds of positive entropy with Siegel disks

    No full text
    Using McMullen’s rational surface automorphisms, we construct projective rational manifolds of higher dimension admitting automorphisms of positive entropy with arbitrarily high number of Siegel disks and those with exactly one Siegel disk

    The fundamental group of a quotient of a product of curves

    No full text
    We prove a structure theorem for the fundamental group of the quotient X of a product of curves by the action of a finite group G and, hence, for that of any resolution of the singularities of X

    Dihedral Galois covers of algebraic varieties and the simple cases

    No full text
    In this article we investigate the algebra and geometry of dihedral covers of smooth algebraic varieties. To this aim we first describe the Weil divisors and the Picard group of divisorial sheaves on normal double covers. Then we provide a structure theorem for dihedral covers, that is, given a smooth variety Y, we describe the algebraic “building data” on Y which are equivalent to the existence of such covers π:X→Y. We introduce then two special very explicit classes of dihedral covers: the simple and the almost simple dihedral covers, and we determine their basic invariants. For the simple dihedral covers we also determine their natural deformations. In the last section we give an application to fundamental groups

    Irreducibility of the space of dihedral covers of the projective line of a given numerical type

    No full text
    We show in this paper that the set of irreducible components of the family of Galois coverings of \bP1\bC with Galois group isomorphic to \Dn is in bijection with the set of possible numerical types. In this special case the numerical type is the equivalence class (for automorphisms of \Dn) of the function which to each conjugacy class \sC in \Dn associates the number of branch points whose local monodromy lies in the class \sC
