Degenerations of Abelian Differentials

چکیده
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 and meromorphic differentials extends to distinguish twisted canonical divisors in the locus of stable pointed curves of pseudocompact type. We also justify whether zeros and poles on general curves in a stratum of differentials can be Weierstrass points. Moreover, we classify twisted canonical divisors on curves with at most two nodes in the minimal stratum in genus three. Our techniques combine algebraic geometry and flat geometry. Their interplay is a main flavor of the paper.

Signature Defects and Eta Functions of Degenerations of Abelian Varieties
In this paper, we will calculate the eta functions for torus bundles over S 1 which arise from boundaries of degenerations of Abelian varieties when the local monodromies are unipotent or have nite orders. By using the special values of the eta functions, we obtain the signature defects for such degenerations.
متن کاملDegenerations of ( 1 , 3 ) abelian surfaces and Kummer surfaces
We study degenerations of Kummer surfaces associated to certain divisors in Nieto’s quintic threefold and show how they arise from boundary components of a suitable toroidal compactification of the corresponding Siegel modular threefold. The aim of this paper is to study the degenerations of an interesting class of Kummer surfaces in P in terms of degenerations of the corresponding abelian surf...
متن کاملMultiple Saddle Connections on Flat Surfaces and the Principal Boundary of the Moduli Spaces of Quadratic Differentials
We describe typical degenerations of quadratic differentials thus describing “generic cusps” of the moduli space of meromorphic quadratic differentials with at most simple poles. The part of the boundary of the moduli space which does not arise from “generic” degenerations is often negligible in problems involving information on compactification of the moduli space. However, even for a typical ...
متن کاملThe Euler Characteristic Formula for Logarithmic Minimal Degenerations of Surfaces with Kodaira Dimension Zero and its application
In this paper, the Euler characteristic formula for projective logarithmic minimal degenerations of surfaces with Kodaira dimension zero over a 1-dimensional complex disk is proved under a reasonable assumption and as its application, the singularity of logarithmic minimal degenerations are determined in the abelian or hyperelliptic case. By globalizing this local analysis of singular fibres vi...
متن کاملGenus Two Veech Surfaces Arising from General Quadratic Differentials
We study Veech surfaces of genus 2 arising from quadratic differentials that are not squares of abelian differentials. We prove that all such surfaces of type (2, 2) and (2, 1, 1) are arithmetic. In (1, 1, 1, 1) case, we reduce the question to abelian differentials of type (2, 2) on hyperelliptic genus 3 surfaces with singularities at Weierstrass points, and we give an example of a non-arithmet...
