چکیده

In this paper it is proved that the volumes of the moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds with respect to Weil-Petersson metrics are rational numbers. Mumford introduce the notion of a good metric on vector bundle over a quasi-projective variety in [10]. He proved that the Chern forms of good metrics define classes of cohomology with integer coefficients on the compactified quasi-projective varieties by adding a divisor with normal crossings. Viehweg proved that the moduli space of CY manifolds is a quasi-projective variety. The proof that the volume of the moduli space of polarized CY manifolds are rational number is based on the facts that the L norm on the dualizing line bundle over the moduli space of polarized CY manifolds is a good metric. The Weil-Petersson metric is minus the Chern form of the L metric on the dualizing line bundle. This fact implies that the volumes of Weil-Petersson metric are rational numbers.

Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces and their Weil–Petersson volumes

Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces may be endowed with a symplectic structure via the Weil–Petersson form. Mirzakhani proved that Weil–Petersson volumes exhibit polynomial behaviour and that their coefficients store intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves. In this survey article, we discuss these results as well as some consequences and applications.

Numerical Weil-petersson Metrics on Moduli Spaces of Calabi-yau Manifolds

We introduce a simple and very fast algorithm that computes Weil-Petersson metrics on moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. Also, by using Donaldson’s quantization link between the infinite and finite dimensional G.I.T quotients that describe moduli spaces of varieties, we define a natural sequence of Kähler metrics. We prove that the sequence converges to the Weil-Petersson metric. ...

Weil-petersson Geometry on Moduli Space of Polarized Calabi-yau Manifolds

Moduli spaces of general polarized algebraic varieties are studied extensively by algebraic geometers. However, there are two classes of moduli spaces where the methods of differential geometry are equally powerful. These are the moduli spaces of curves and the moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. Both spaces are complex orbifolds. The Weil-Petersson metric is the main tool for inve...

Weil-petersson Volumes and Cone Surfaces

The moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces of genus g with n geodesic boundary components are naturally symplectic manifolds. Mirzakhani proved that their volumes are polynomials in the lengths of the boundaries by computing the volumes recursively. In this paper we give new recursion relations between the volume polynomials.

A Simple Proof of Mirzakhani’s Recursion Formula of Weil-petersson Volumes

In this paper, we give a simple proof of Mirzakhani's recursion formula of Weil-Petersson volumes of moduli spaces of curves using the Witten-Kontsevich theorem. We also briefly describe a very general recursive phenomenon in the intersection theory of moduli spaces of curves. In particular, we present several new recursion formulas for higher degree κ classes.
