We will finish the sketch of the proof of existence of a geometrically meaningful compactification of the moduli space of canonically polarized smooth varieties.

Characteristic classes of Flat bundles on smooth algebraic varieties are defined in various cohomology theories. We consider the de Rham cohomology, the Deligne cohomology and the rational Chow groups and study the classes. We focus on the special...

In 1991, Witten proposed a famous conjecture (solved by Kontsevich) related the intersection theory of Deligne-Mumford moduli space to KDV-integrable hierearchy. To generalize his conjecture, Witten proposed a remarkable PDE based any...
