Spin and Hyperelliptic Structures of Log Twisted Differentials

چکیده
Using stable log maps, we introduce log twisted differentials extending the notion of abelian differentials to the Deligne-Mumford boundary of stable curves. The moduli stack of log twisted differentials provides a compactification of the strata of abelian differentials. The open strata can have up to three connected components, due to spin and hyperelliptic structures. We prove that the spin parity can be distinguished on the boundary of the log compactification. Moreover, combining the techniques of log geometry and admissible covers, we introduce log twisted hyperelliptic differentials, and prove that their moduli stack provides a toroidal compactification of the hyperelliptic loci in the open strata.

Degenerations of Abelian Differentials
Consider degenerations of Abelian differentials with prescribed number and multiplicity of zeros and poles. Motivated by the theory of limit linear series, we define twisted canonical divisors on pointed nodal curves to study degenerate differentials, give dimension bounds for their moduli spaces, and establish smoothability criteria. As applications, we show that the spin parity of holomorphic...
متن کاملMeromorphic Differentials with Twisted Coefficients on Compact Riemann Surfaces
This note is to concern a generalization to the case of twisted coefficients of the classical theory of Abelian differentials on a compact Riemann surface. We apply the Dirichlet’s principle to a modified energy functional to show the existence of differentials with twisted coefficients of the second and third kinds under a suitable assumption on residues. 1 Main results and discussion Let X be...
متن کاملOn the WDVV Equation and M-Theory
A wide class of Seiberg–Witten models constructed by M -theory techniques and described by non-hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces are shown to possess an associative algebra of holomorphic differentials. This is a first step towards proving that also these models satisfy the Witten–Dijkgraaf–Verlinde–Verlinde equation. In this way, similar results known for simpler Seiberg–Witten models (described ...
متن کاملWDVV Equations from Algebra of Forms
A class of solutions to the WDVV equations is provided by period matrices of hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces, with or without punctures. The equations themselves reflect associativity of explicitly described multiplicative algebra of (possibly meromorphic) 1-differentials, which holds at least in the hyperelliptic case. This construction is direct generalization of the old one, involving the rin...
متن کاملAffine Geometry of Strata of Differentials
Affine varieties among all algebraic varieties have simple structures. For example, an affine variety does not contain any complete algebraic curve. In this paper we study affine related properties of strata of k-differentials on smooth curves which parameterize sections of the k-th power of the canonical line bundle with prescribed orders of zeros and poles. We show that if there is a prescrib...
