Dense PGL-orbits in products of Grassmannians

In this paper, we find some necessary and sufficient conditions on the dimension vector $\underline{\bf{d}} = (d_1,..., d_k; n)$ so that the diagonal action of $\mathbb{P}GL(n)$ on $\prod_{i=1}^k Gr(d_i;n)$ has a dense orbit. Consequently, we obtain some algorithms for finding dense and sparse dimension vectors and classify dense dimension vectors with small length or size. We also characterize the dense dimension vectors of the form $(d,d,..., d; n)$.

The ample cone of moduli spaces of sheaves on the plane

Fix a Chern character of a stable sheaf on the plane. Assume either the rank is at most 6 or the rank and first Chern class are coprime and the discriminant is sufficiently large. We use recent results of Bayer and Macri on Bridgeland stability to compute the ample cone of the moduli space of Gieseker semistable sheaves with the given Chern character. We recover earlier results, such as those by Stromme and Yoshioka, as special cases.

Extremal higher codimension cycles on moduli spaces of curves

We show that certain geometrically defined higher codimension cycles are extremal in the effective cone of the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ of stable genus $g$ curves with $n$ ordered marked points. In particular, we prove that codimension two boundary strata are extremal and exhibit extremal boundary strata of higher codimension. We also show that the locus of hyperelliptic curves with a marked Weierstrass point in $\overline{\mathcal M}_{3,1}$ and the locus of hyperelliptic curves in $\overline{\mathcal M}_4$ are extremal cycles. In addition, we exhibit infinitely many extremal codimension two cycles in $\overline{\mathcal M}_{1,n}$ for $n\geq 5$ and in $\overline{\mathcal M}_{2,n}$ for $n\geq 2$.

The effective cone of the moduli space of sheaves on the plane

We compute the cone of effective divisors on any moduli space of semistable sheaves on the plane. The computation hinges on finding a good resolution of a general stable sheaf. This resolution is determined by Bridgeland stability and arises from a well-chosen Beilinson spectral sequence. The existence of a good choice of spectral sequence depends on remarkable number-theoretic properties of the slopes of exceptional bundles.

Interpolation, Bridgeland stability and monomial schemes in the plane

Given a zero-dimensional scheme Z, the higher-rank interpolation problem asks for the classification of slopes of vector bundles cohomologically orthogonal to the ideal sheaf of Z. In this paper, we solve this problem for all zero-dimensional monomial schemes in the projective plane. As a corollary, we obtain detailed information on the stable base loci of divisors on the Hilbert scheme of points on the plane. We prove the correspondence between walls in the Bridgeland stability manifold and walls in the Mori chamber decomposition of the effective cone conjectured by Arcara-Bertram-Coskun-Huizenga for monomial schemes. We determine the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of ideal sheaves of monomial schemes for suitable Bridgeland stability conditions and, as a consequence, obtain a new resolution better suited for cohomology computations than other standard resolutions such as the minimal free resolution.

Flexibility of Schubert classes

In this note, we discuss the flexibility of Schubert classes in homogeneous varieties. We give several constructions for representing multiples of a Schubert class by irreducible subvarieties. We sharpen [R, Theorem 3.1] by proving that every positive multiple of an obstructed class in a cominuscule homogeneous variety can be represented by an irreducible subvariety.

Fano manifolds of index n-1 and the cone conjecture

The Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture predicts that the actions of the automorphism group on the effective nef cone and the pseudo-automorphism group on the effective movable cone of a klt Calabi-Yau pair $(X, Δ)$ have finite, rational polyhedral fundamental domains. Let $Z$ be an $n$-dimensional Fano manifold of index $n-1$ such that $-K_Z = (n-1) H$ for an ample divisor $H$. Let $Γ$ be the base locus of a general $(n-1)$-dimensional linear system $V \subset |H|$. In this paper, we verify the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for the blow-up of $Z$ along $Γ$.

The Minimal Model Program for the Hilbert Scheme of Points on P^2 and Bridgeland Stability

In this paper, we study the birational geometry of the Hilbert scheme of n points on P^2. We discuss the stable base locus decomposition of the effective cone and the corresponding birational models. We give modular interpretations to the models in terms of moduli spaces of Bridgeland semi-stable objects. We construct these moduli spaces as moduli spaces of quiver representations using G.I.T. and thus show that they are projective. There is a precise correspondence between wall-crossings in the Bridgeland stability manifold and wall-crossings between Mori cones. For n at most 9, we explicitly determine the walls in both interpretations and describe the corresponding flips and divisorial contractions.

Singularities of generalized Richardson varieties

Richardson varieties play an important role in intersection theory and in the geometric interpretation of the Littlewood-Richardson Rule for flag varieties. We discuss three natural generalizations of Richardson varieties which we call projection varieties, intersection varieties, and rank varieties. In many ways, these varieties are more fundamental than Richardson varieties and are more easily amenable to inductive geometric constructions. In this paper, we study the singularities of each type of generalization. Like Richardson varieties, projection varieties are normal with rational singularities. We also study in detail the singular loci of projection varieties in Type A Grassmannians. We use Kleiman's Transversality Theorem to determine the singular locus of any intersection variety in terms of the singular loci of Schubert varieties. This is a generalization of a criterion for any Richardson variety to be smooth in terms of the nonvanishing of certain cohomology classes which has been known by some experts in the field, but we don't believe has been published previously.

Hilbert scheme of a pair of codimension two linear subspaces

We study the component H_n of the Hilbert scheme whose general point parameterizes a pair of codimension two linear subspaces in P^n for n > 2. We show that H_n is smooth and isomorphic to the blow-up of the symmetric square of G(n-2,n) along the diagonal. Further H_n intersects only one other component in the full Hilbert scheme, transversely. We determine the stable base locus decomposition of its effective cone and give modular interpretations of the corresponding models, hence conclude that H_n is a Mori dream space.

Towards Mori's program for the moduli space of stable maps

We introduce and compute the class of a number of effective divisors on the moduli space of stable maps $\bar M_{0,0}(P^{r},d)$, which, for small d, provide a good understanding of the extremal rays and the stable base locus decomposition for the effective cone. We also discuss various birational models that arise in Mori's program, including the Hilbert scheme, the Chow variety, the space of $k$-stable maps, the space of branchcurves and the space of semi-stable sheaves.

Stable Base Locus Decompositions of Kontsevich Moduli Spaces

In this paper, we determine the stable base locus decomposition of the Kontsevich moduli spaces of degree two and three stable maps to Grassmannians. This gives new examples of the decomposition for varieties with Picard rank three. We also discuss the birational models that correspond to the chambers in the decomposition.
