Moduli Spaces associated with Singularities

Project description

Geometric properties of new types of moduli spaces

The field of algebraic geometry is one of the oldest and most important of modern mathematics, having enabled the solution of many problems that were unsolved for centuries. In addition, it has found practical application in fields including physics, theoretical computer science, cryptography, coding theory and robotics. Moduli theory is a special topic in algebraic geometry that attempts not only to describe geometric objects but also how they can be deformed, and it is of particular relevance to theoretical physics. The EU-funded ModSingLDT project is developing novel descriptions of important classes of moduli spaces that promise to elucidate relationships not previously described.

Objective

The aim of this project is to investigate enumerative invariants of the Hilbert schemes parametrizing zero-dimensional subschemes of some basic classes of surface singularities as well as of its higher rank analogues, and find connections between these enumerative invariants and the Chern-Simons theories on the links of the singularities. This question will open brand new relations between algebraic and topological invariants of these singularities.

The main tool to approach the problem will be to develop representations of vertex algebras on the cohomologies or derived categories of these moduli spaces conjecturally giving rise to analogues of the Nekrasov parition function on the singularities. Then we will use recent new developements about a specific motivic measure with values in the Grothendieck ring of geometric dg categories to prove some simplification of the aimed correspondence. In the end we will raise these simplified results to the general level.

This project will allow the researcher to broaden his area of expertise as well as to develop new directions in his research lines. He will complement his knowledge in low-dimensional topology at one of the most prestigious research institutes and under the guidance of one of the worldwide leaders in this field.
