Classification results for Lagrangian fibrations
[ Abstract ]
A Lagrangian fibration on a holomorphic symplectic manifold or variety is one whose general fibre is an abelian variety that is Lagrangian with respect to the symplectic form. Examples were constructed by Beauville/Mukai whose fibres are Jacobians of curves, and by Markushevich-Tikhomirov, Arbarella-Sacca-Ferretti, Matteini, S-Shen, and Brakkee-Camere-Grossi-Pertusi-Sacca-Viktorova whose fibres are Prym varieties of curves with involutions. In all of these examples the family of curves is a linear system on a K3 surface, suggesting the question: is this always the case? Markushevich answered this affirmatively in the genus two case: if the relative compactified Jacobian of a family of genus two curves is a Lagrangian fibration then the curves all lie on a K3 surface, and the Lagrangian fibration is a Beauville-Mukai system. In this talk I will describe our generalization of this result to higher genus, and also to relative Prym varieties of genus three covers with involutions (joint work with Xuqiang Qin).

Towards a quantization of the Kirwan map via Fourier transform
[ Abstract ]
Quantum cohomology ring is a deformation of the ordinary cohomology ring defined using counts of rational curves (genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants). In this talk, I will propose a Fourier transform for the quantum cohomology of smooth projective GIT quotients, viewed as a quantum analogue of the Kirwan map in ordinary cohomology. I will present several examples where this Fourier transform can be constructed and discuss some applications. This talk is based on ongoing work.

Cohomology of moduli spaces of curves
[ Abstract ]
Moduli spaces of stable pointed curves have been much studied but still we know surprisingly little about their cohomology. In this talk, I will discuss some recent progresses based on techniques from combinatorics and probability theory as well as the algebraic geometry of wall crossings in the stack of maps.
