A stratification of moduli of arbitrarily singular curves

This paper introduces a new moduli stack of "equinormalized curves" and establishes a stratification indexed by generalized dual graphs, where each stratum is described as a fiber bundle over a quotient of products of classical moduli spaces with explicitly computable fibers, thereby providing a detailed geometric characterization of the moduli of reduced curves with arbitrary singularities.

The Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for nef and big classes

This paper establishes a complete proof of the Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for nef and big classes by introducing the concepts of adapted closed positive (1,1)(1,1)-currents and TT-adapted Hermitian-Yang-Mills metrics, thereby proving that a holomorphic vector bundle is slope polystable if and only if it admits such a metric, a result that extends to singular settings and yields new insights into projective flatness and the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality.

Dimers and Beauville integrable systems

This paper proves that for the standard triangle polygon (corresponding to the toric surface P2\mathbb{P}^2), the spectral transform establishes a birational isomorphism between the Goncharov-Kenyon cluster integrable system and the Beauville integrable system by showing that it intertwines their respective Poisson structures, thereby demonstrating that Beauville integrable systems admit cluster algebra structures.

Non-abelian Hodge correspondence over singular Kähler spaces

This paper extends the non-abelian Hodge correspondence to compact Kähler spaces with klt singularities by establishing an equivalence between polystable Higgs bundles and semi-simple flat bundles on regular loci and proving a descent theorem for Higgs bundles along resolutions, ultimately yielding a quasi-uniformization theorem for projective klt varieties satisfying the orbifold Miyaoka-Yau equality.

Gibbs polystability of Fano manifolds, stability thresholds and symmetry breaking

This paper extends the probabilistic construction of Kähler-Einstein metrics to Fano manifolds with non-discrete automorphism groups by introducing Gibbs polystability and symmetry-breaking via moment map constraints, conjecturing its equivalence to metric existence and the emergence of unique metrics in the large-N limit, while proving these results for log Fano curves and deriving a strengthened logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality with optimal stability constants.

Birational Invariants from Hodge Structures and Quantum Multiplication

This paper introduces "Hodge atoms," new birational invariants constructed by combining rational Gromov-Witten invariants with Hodge theory via F-bundles, which are used to prove the irrationality of very general cubic fourfolds, reprove the equality of Hodge numbers for birational Calabi-Yau manifolds, and provide new obstructions to rationality over non-algebraically closed fields.

On 7-adic Galois representations for elliptic curves over Q\mathbb{Q}

This paper advances Mazur's Program B for elliptic curves over Q\mathbb{Q} by proving that the genus-69 modular curve Xns+(49)X_{ns}^+(49) has no non-CM rational points, a result achieved by linking these points to solutions of a generalized Fermat equation and reducing the complete classification of 7-adic Galois representations to finding rational points on a single plane quartic.
