Galois Covers of Moduli of Curves

Moduli spaces of pointed curves with some level structure are studied. We prove that for so-called geometric level structures, the levels encountered in the boundary are smooth if the ambient variety is smooth, and in some cases we can describe them explicitly. The smoothness implies that the moduli space of pointed curves (over any field) admits a smooth finite Galois cover. Finally, we prove that some of these moduli spaces are simply connected.     

Irredundant and Minimal Covers of Finite Groups

A cover of a finite noncyclic group G is a family ? of proper subgroups of G whose union equals G. A cover of G is called minimal if it has minimal size, and irredundant if it does not properly contain any other cover. We classify the finite noncyclic groups all of whose irredundant covers are minimal.     

The p-Rank of Ramified Covers of Curves

In this paper we study the p-rank of Abelian prime-to-p covers of the generic r-pointed curve of genus g. There is an obvious bound on the p-rank of the cover. We show that it suffices to compute the p-rank of cyclic prime-to-p covers of the generic r-pointed curve of genus zero. In that situation, we show that, for large p, the p-rank of the cover is equal to the bound.     

Covers of elliptic curves with unique,totally ramified branch points

A well‐known and difficult problem in computational number theory and algebraic geometry is to write down equations for branched covers of algebraic curves with specified monodromy type. In this article, we present a technique for computing such covers in the case of covers of elliptic curves with unique, totally ramified branch points.     

Pure Submodules of Finite Direct Sums of Co-Purely Indecomposable Modules

A torsion-free module M of finite rank over a discrete valuation ring R with prime p is co-purely indecomposable if M is indecomposable and rank M = 1 + dim _R/pR (M/pM). Co-purely indecomposable modules are duals of pure finite rank submodules of the p-adic completion of R. Pure submodules of cpi-decomposable modules (finite direct sums of co-purely indecomposable modules) are characterized. Included are various examples and properties of these modules.     

A Note on the k-very Ampleness of Semi-stable Bundles on an Algebraic Curve

Envelopes and Covers by Modules of Finite FP-Injective Dimensions

Let R be a ring, n a fixed non-negative integer and ? the class of all left R-modules of FP-injective dimensions at most n. It is proved that all left R-modules over a left coherent ring R have ?-preenvelopes and ?-covers. Left (right) ?-resolutions and the left derived functors of Hom are used to study the FP-injective dimensions of modules and rings.

Liftings of Galois Covers of Smooth Curves

Let (C,G) be a smooth irreducible projective curve of genus g over an algebraically closed field k of chararacteristic p>0 and G be a finite group of automorphisms of C. It is well known that here, contrary to the characteristic 0 case, Hurwitz's bound |G| 84(g-1) doesn't hold in general; in such cases this gives an obstruction to obtaining a smooth galois lifting of (C,G) to characteristic 0. We shall give new obstructions of local nature to the lifting problem, even in the case where G is abelian. In the case where the inertia groups are p ae-cyclic with a 2 and (e,p)=1, we shall prove that smooth galois liftings exist over W(k)[ ].

Torsion-Free Sheaves and Moduli of Generalized Spin Curves

This article treats compactifications of the space of generalized spin curves. Generalized spin curves, or r-spin curves, are pairs (X,L) with X a smooth curve and L a line bundle whose rth tensor power is isomorphic to the canonical bundle of X. These are a natural generalization of 2-spin curves (algebraic curves with a theta-characteristic), which have been of interest recently, in part because of their applications to fermionic string theory. Three different compactifications over Z[1/r], all using torsion-free sheaves, are constructed. All three yield algebraic stacks, one of which is shown to have Gorenstein singularities that can be described explicitly, and one of which is smooth. All three compactifications generalize constructions of Deligne and Cornalba done for the case when r=2.     

Average Root Numbers for a Nonconstant Family of Elliptic Curves

We give some examples of families of elliptic curves with nonconstant j-invariant where the parity of the (analytic) rank is not equidistributed among the fibres.     

Special Points on the Product of Two Modular Curves

We prove, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis for imaginary quadratic fields, the following special case of a conjecture of Oort, concerning Zarsiski closures of sets of CM points in Shimura varieties. Let X be an irreducible algebraic curve in C², containing infinitely many points of which both coordinates are j-invariants of CM elliptic curves. Suppose that both projections from X to C are not constant. Then there is an integer m 1such that X is the image, under the usual map, of the modular curve Y₂0(m). The proof uses some number theory and some topological arguments.     

Affine and projective lines over one-dimensional semilocal domains

We characterize those partially ordered sets that can occur as the spectra of polynomial rings over one-dimensional semilocal (Noetherian) domains. We also determine the posets that can occur as projective lines over one-dimensional semilocal domains.

     

Representations of Finite Posets Over Discrete Valuation Rings

Given a discrete valuation ring R, a non-negative integer m, and a finite partially ordered set S, the representation type of a category rep(S*, R, m) of finite rank free R-module representations of S is characterized in terms of S and m. As an application, representation types of some categories of torsion-free abelian groups of finite rank are determined.     

Singularities of Toric Varieties Associated with Finite Distributive Lattices

With each finite lattice L we associate a projectively embedded scheme V(L); as Hibi has shown, the lattice D is distributive if and only if V(D) is irreducible, in which case it is a toric variety. We first apply Birkhoff's structure theorem for finite distributive lattices to show that the orbit decomposition of V(D) gives a lattice isomorphic to the lattice of contractions of the bounded poset of join-irreducibles of D. Then we describe the singular locus of V(D) by applying some general theory of toric varieties to the fan dual to the order polytope of P: V(D) is nonsingular along an orbit closure if and only if each fibre of the corresponding contraction is a tree. Finally, we examine the local rings and associated graded rings of orbit closures in V(D). This leads to a second (self-contained) proof that the singular locus is as described, and a similar combinatorial criterion for the normal link of an orbit closure to be irreducible.     

Completeness of Normal Rational Curves

The completeness of normal rational curves, considered as (q + 1)-arcs in PG(n, q), is investigated. Previous results of Storme and Thas are improved by using a result by Kovács. This solves the problem completely for large prime numbers q and odd nonsquare prime powers q = p ^2h+1 with p prime, , where p ₀(h) is an odd prime number which depends on h.     

The Theory of Finite Models without Equal Sign

In this paper, it is the first time ever to suggest that we study the model theory of all finite structures and to put the equal sign in the same situtation as the other relations. Using formulas of infinite lengths we obtain new theorems for the preservation of model extensions, submodels, model homomorphisms and inverse homomorphisms. These kinds of theorems were discussed in Chang and Keisler＇s Model Theory, systematically for general models, but Gurevich obtained some different theorems in this direction for finite models. In our paper the old theorems manage to survive in the finite model theory. There are some differences between into homomorphisms and onto homomorphisms in preservation theorems too. We also study reduced models and minimum models. The characterization sentence of a model is given, which derives a general result for any theory T to be equivalent to a set of existential-universal sentences. Some results about completeness and model completeness are also given.
