	Moduli space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In algebraic geometry, a moduli space is a parameter space for families of algebraic objects (such as algebraic varieties, morphisms, vector bundles).
		There is also another major question, of determining moduli for vector bundles V on a fixed algebraic variety X. When X has dimension 1 and V is a line bundle, this is the theory of the Jacobian variety of a curve.
		In applications to physics, the number of moduli of vector bundles and the closely related problem of the number of moduli of principal G-bundles has been found to be significant in gauge theory.

	Moduli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The reason is that the potential energy for moduli is constant, which can be guaranteed, for example, by supersymmetry (with sufficiently many supercharges).
		The space of possible configurations (values) of all these moduli is called the moduli space (that page gives some explanation of the original, mathematical usage).
		On the other hand, the usage of the phrase "moduli space" in mathematics is more general in the sense that the moduli describe the shape of an arbitrary algebraic variety, not necessarily a manifold relevant for compactification in string theory.

	EWM Workshop on Moduli Spaces in Mathematics and Physics
		The second step is to fix values of the discrete invariants and to try to construct a moduli space; that is, an algebraic variety (or other appropriate space in other parts of geometry) whose points correspond to the equivalence classes of the objects to be classified, in some natural way.
		Moduli spaces are one of the fundamental constructions of Algebraic Geometry and they arise in connection with classification problems.
		Roughly speaking a moduli space of stable vector bundles on an algebraic projective variety X is a scheme whose points are in ``natural bijection" to isomorphic classes of stable vector bundles on X.

	IMPRS Working Areas
		Very surprisingly, these and other more complicated moduli spaces (e.g., of vector bundles, of stable maps, etc.) were discovered in recent years to play an important role in mathematical physics, especially in the theory of quantum strings, which strives to the unification of quantum field theory and the theory of gravity.
		The gauge-theoretic moduli spaces arising in these theories are spaces of solutions of certain partial differential equations defined in terms of geometric objects such as connections and spinors, modulo a large group of gauge symmetries.
		An intensive study of gauge theoretic moduli spaces was initiated in the early eighties, with Donaldson's famous result on obstructions to the existence of smooth structures on certain classes of 4-manifolds.

		Note that moduli space can be thought of as the space of equivalence classes of complex structures on a fixed surface of genus g, where two complex structures are deemed "the same" if they are biholomorphically equivalent.
		Anyway, Teichmueller space may be defined as the space of equivalence classes of complex structures on a fixed surface of genus g, where two complex structures are counted as the same if they are biholomorphically equivalent by a diffeomorphism connected to the identity.
		By how moduli space is defined, two points in Teichmueller space define the same point in moduli space iff one is obtained from another by an element of the mapping class group.

		The moduli problem here is the prototype for moduli problems withlevel structure, meaning in this case some 'marking' of torsiongroups of points on the curve.
		There is also another major question, of determining moduli for vectorbundles V on a fixed algebraic variety X. When X hasdimension 1 and V is a line bundle, this is the theory of the Jacobianvariety of a curve.
		The basic strategy isto simplify the classification problem by adding additional data in such a way that the original moduli space is the quotient of the new one by a reductive group action.

		The first one is algebraic, and treats the case of moduli spaces of stable vector bundles on a projective curve.
		Using the Hecke cycles we prove that this is indeed the case, and we apply the same techniques to study the stability of the adjoint of the Poincaré bundle, and of the Picard bundle.
		Using the analytical description of the moduli space of stable bundles over a complex variety, we also express the deformations of the Poincaré bundle in terms of non-abelian cohomology.

	On a class of representations of the Yangian and moduli space of monopoles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A new class of infinite dimensional representations of the Yangians corresponding to a complex semisimple algebra and its Borel subalgebra is constructed.
		In particular it is shown that the underlying symplectic leaves are isomorphic to the moduli spaces of monopoles defined as the components of the space of based maps of one-dimensional complex projective space into the generalized flag manifold.
		Thus the constructed representations of the Yangian may be considered as a quantization of the moduli space of the monopoles.

		All these moduli spaces are important and interesting, but the moduli space of elliptic curves is a nice simple example when you're first trying to learn this stuff.
		Now, the quotient space H/SL(2,Z) is not a smooth manifold, because while the upper halfplane H is a manifold and the group SL(2,Z) is discrete, the action of SL(2,Z) on H is not free: i.e., certain points in H don't move when you hit them with certain elements of SL(2,Z).
		For any open set U in the moduli space, an object of S(U) is a family of elliptic curves over U, such that each elliptic curve in the family sits over the point in moduli space corresponding to its isomorphism class.

		proved that the moduli space of coassociative deformations of a compact coassociative 4-submanifold C in a G_2-manifold M is a smooth manifold of dimension equal to b^2_+(C).
		In this paper, we show that the moduli space of coassociative deformations of a noncompact, asymptotically cylindrical coassociative 4-fold C in an asymptotically cylindrical G_2-manifold M is also a smooth manifold.
		We study the moduli space of deformations of a special kind of associative submanifolds in a G_2 manifold (which we call complex associative submanifolds); and we study the moduli space of deformations of a special kind of Cayley submanifolds (which we call complex Cayley submanifolds).

		A map of the United States is, loosely speaking, a moduli space for the set of states.

		One forms a moduli space Def(M,G/H) of geometric structures on M modelled on G/H which classifies structures up to equivalence.
		When M is a closed surface, these moduli spaces carry invariant symplectic structures, and when G is compact the investigator conjectures that the symplectic measure is ergodic under the action of the mapping class group.
		When G is SL(2,R), this moduli space is related to Teichmuller space of (possibly singular) hyperbolic structures, and the investigator has used geometric structures to study the dynamics on the moduli space.

		It has to be added that although the Kähler moduli and the complex structure moduli are locally orthogonal, it may not be possible in general to define a corresponding product structure on the global moduli space.
