Obstruction Criteria For Modular Deformation Problems, Jeffrey Hatley Jr
Obstruction Criteria For Modular Deformation Problems, Jeffrey Hatley Jr
Doctoral Dissertations
For a cuspidal newform f of weight k at least 3 and a prime p of the associated number field Kf, the deformation problem for its associated mod p Galois representation is unobstructed for all primes outside some finite set. Previous results gave an explicit bound on this finite set for f of squarefree level; we modify this bound and remove the squarefree hypothesis. We also show that if the p-adic deformation problem for f is unobstructed, then f is not congruent mod p to a newform of lower level.

Boundary Divisors In The Moduli Space Of Stable Quintic Surfaces, Julie Rana
Doctoral Dissertations
I give a bound on which singularities may appear on KSBA stable surfaces for a wide range of topological invariants, and use this result to describe all stable numerical quintic surfaces, i.e. stable surfaces with K^2= 5, p_g=4, and q=0, whose unique non Du Val singularity is a Wahl singularity. Quintic surfaces are the simplest examples of surfaces of general type and the question of describing their moduli is a long-standing question in algebraic geometry. I then extend the deformation theory of Horikawa to the log setting in order to describe the boundary divisor of the moduli space of KSBA …
