A construction of the Deligne–Mumford orbifold

چکیده
The Deligne–Mumford moduli space is the space M̄g,n of isomorphism classes of stable nodal Riemann surfaces of arithmetic genus g with n marked points. A marked nodal Riemann surface is stable if and only if its isomorphism group is finite. We introduce the notion of a universal unfolding of a marked nodal Riemann surface and show that it exists if and only if the surface is stable. A natural construction based on the existence of universal unfoldings endows the Deligne–Mumford moduli space with an orbifold structure. We include a proof of compactness. Our proofs use the methods of differential geometry rather than algebraic geometry.

The Orbifold Chow Ring of a Toric Deligne-mumford Stack
Generalizing toric varieties, we introduce toric Deligne-Mumford stacks which correspond to combinatorial data. The main result in this paper is an explicit calculation of the orbifold Chow ring of a toric Deligne-Mumford stack. As an application, we prove that the orbifold Chow ring of the toric Deligne-Mumford stack associated to a simplicial toric variety is a flat deformation of (but is not...

متن کاملTwisted Jet, Motivic Measure and Orbifold Cohomology
We introduce the notion of twisted jet. For a DeligneMumford stack X of finite type over an algebraically closed field k, a twisted ∞-jet on X is a representable morphism D → X such that D is a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack with the coarse moduli space Spec k[[t]]. We study the motivic measure on the space of the twisted ∞-jets on a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack. As an application, we prove that ...
متن کاملNote on Orbifold Chow Ring of Semi-projective Toric Deligne-mumford Stacks
We prove a formula for the orbifold Chow ring of semi-projective toric DM stacks, generalizing the orbifold Chow ring formula of projective toric DM stacks by BorisovChen-Smith. We also consider a special kind of semi-projective toric DM stacks, the Lawrence toric DM stacks. We prove that the orbifold Chow ring of a Lawrence toric DM stack is isomorphic to the orbifold Chow ring of its associat...
متن کاملFROBENIUS ACTION ON l-ADIC ORBIFOLD COHOMOLOGY
We extend the definition of orbifold (Chen-Ruan) cohomology to tame Deligne-Mumford stacks over fields of positive characteristic and prove that a modified version of the Frobenius action preserves the product. We conjecture a relationship between the arithmetic information contained by this action and the zeta function of a crepant resolution of the coarse moduli space (when each exist).
