--- title: New Periodic Note Template created: 2023-03-26T11:59 updated: 2024-05-11T12:05 --- [📅 Google Calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r) --- # May 5th - When a semitoroidal compactification with semifan $\mcf$ is isomorphic to a KSBA compactification, any semifan refining $\mcf$ yields a semitoroidal compactification which corresponds to a family of stable pairs. - In particular, if the Coxeter fan refines $\mcf$, there is an associated family of stable pairs. - A generic element of $F_2$ is a branched cover of a sextic in $\PP^2$. - $\Ag$ analogue: for $M \cong \ZZ^{2g}$ a lattice, the cone $\mcc$ is that of positive definite symmetric bilinear forms $Q: M\tensor M\to \ZZ \to \RR$. Any choice of a form $Q$ defines a Voronoi and Delaunay decomposition of $\mcc^{\mathrm{rc}}$ in $M_\RR$. - Write a form as $Q\leadsto f_Q: M\to N_\RR$, then the infinite toric variety is $f_Q(\Vor Q)/f_Q(M)$ up to a shift. - The quotient $N_\RR/f_Q(M)$ is an integral-affine torus $(S^1)^g$. - Prove that toric blowups preserve charge and nontoric blowups increase the charge by one. - Describe $\Gamma(\mcx_0)$ as a simplicial complex - A subdiagram is called elliptic if the restriction of the quadratic form of $N$ to $\mathbb{R} V$ is negative definite. It is called parabolic if it negative semi-definite. Maximal parabolic means maximal by inclusion among the parabolic diagrams. - Background on Coxeter groups and hyperbolic geometry: - What is $(r, a, \delta)$ for $F_2$, where $T = A_1 \oplus U \oplus E_8^2$? This seems to be $(19, 1, 1)_1$. - ![](2024-05-11.png) - Coxeter conventions: ![](2024-05-11-1.png) - Cusp correspondences: - $F_{\En, 2}\to F_{\En}$: ![](2024-05-11-2.png) - $F_{\En, 2} \to F_{(2,2,0)}$: ![](2024-05-11-3.png) -
