Courses And Research

Current Research Interest

I am currently interested in the moduli space and stack of curves and related questions in birational geometry (such as the Keel-Hassett program) as well as derived categories of these moduli spaces.


Past Research Experience

I have been interested in the results of Yogish Holla's paper Counting maximal subbundles via Gromov-Witten invariants and been trying to extend to the case of Parabolic Vector Bundles.  Briefly, the problem is to count the number of maximal degree subbundles of a general stable vector bundle on a fixed nonsingular curve. The case for usual vector bundles was achieved by Yogish Holla using a version of Gromov-Witten invariants (equivalent to the more well-known version) which is a certain intersection number on a Quot scheme. This aforementioned Quot scheme has some nice properties tailor-made for carrying out the intersection. The way to handle the parabolic vector bundle case would be to find a counter part for this Quot scheme and a counterpart for the Vafa-Intriligator formula as used by Holla in his paper.
