From
Alexander Murray Wright primarily studies the dynamics of the GL(2,R) action on Hodge bundle over the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. Orbit closures of this action are varieties parameterizing Abelian differentials on Riemann surfaces whose Jacobians have special properties, such as large endomorphism algebras and torsion packets related to the Abelian differential.
