Moduli spaces of stable quotients and wall-crossing phenomena

Abstract

The moduli space of holomorphic maps from Riemann surfaces to the Grassmannian is known to have two kinds of compactifications: Kontsevich's stable map compactification and Marian-Oprea-Pandharipande's stable quotient compactification. Over a non-singular curve, the latter moduli space is Grothendieck's Quot scheme. In this paper, we give the notion of `$ε$-stable quotients' for a positive real number $ε$, and show that stable maps and stable quotients are related by the wall-crossing phenomena. We will also discuss Gromov-Witten type invariants associated to $ε$-stable quotients, and investigate them under the wall-crossing.

On the Goppa morphism

We develop a moduli-theoretic framework, over an arbitrary base field, for the classical Goppa construction of algebraic-geometric codes. We consider the moduli stack $\mathcal{LS}_{g,n,d}$ of line bundles of degree $d$ on $n$-pointed smooth projective curves of genus $g$, trivialized along the marked points, as the space of Goppa structures and show that evaluation of global sections defines a natural Goppa morphism $ \mathrm{Goppa}_{g,n,d}\colon \mathcal{LS}_{g,n,d}\longrightarrow \mathrm{Gr}(k,n)$, $k=1-g+d$, together with an extended morphism to $\mathrm{Gr}(k,n)\times \mathcal{M}_{g,n}$. Under explicit numerical hypotheses, we prove that the extended Goppa morphism is an immersion. The pullbacks of the Plücker coordinates are identified with sections of the theta line bundle on the relative Picard scheme, and the locus of non-degenerate codes for which a subset $I$ fails to be an information set is precisely the corresponding theta locus. We identify the fibers of the Goppa morphism over non-degenerate codes $C$ with moduli spaces of non-degenerate $n$-pointed genus-$g$ curves of degree $d$ in the projective space $\mathbb{P}C$ canonically determined by $C$. This yields a Hilbert-incidence description of the Goppa construction and, in a natural range, implies that $\mathrm{Goppa}_{g,n,d}$ is schematic and quasi-projective and that $\mathcal{LS}_{g,n,d}$ is a quasi-projective scheme. In genus zero, we further obtain, for $2\leq d\leq n-3$, a canonical $\mathbb{G}_m^{n-1}$-family of immersions $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}\hookrightarrow \mathrm{Gr}(d+1,n)$, which connects the Goppa morphism with the classical geometry of $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$.

Corrigendum to "The Mori fan of the Dolgachev-Nikulin-Voisin family in genus $2$" by K. Hulek and C. Liese

In this note, we correct some of the results of the paper ``The Mori fan of the Dolgachev--Nikulin--Voisin family in genus $2$'' by K.~Hulek and C.~Liese concerning the number of maximal cones in the Mori fan of the Dolgachev--Nikulin--Voisin fan in genus $2$. The errors in the original paper concern the correct enumeration of cones. The method and the main theoretical results are not affected.

Relating Different Definitions of Linear Series on Tropical Curves

We investigate relationships among several recent notions of linear series on tropical curves, including tropical linear series, strongly recursive tropical linear series of Farkas, Jensen, and Payne, and combinatorial limit linear series of Amini and Gierczak. We introduce structured and locally weakly recursive tropical linear series, showing that every locally weakly recursive tropical linear series is a combinatorial limit linear series. Consequently, every strongly recursive tropical linear series is a combinatorial limit linear series. We also obtain an equivalent characterization of combinatorial limit linear series. We establish additional extensions of these results and construct counterexamples showing that the converse implications fail for strongly recursive tropical linear series. Finally, we investigate the extent to which permutation arrays can arise as local combinatorial data of tropical linear series.
