An expansion is developed for the Weil-Petersson Riemann curvature tensor in the thin region of the Teichm¨uller and moduli spaces. The tensor is evaluated on the gradients of geodesiclengths for disjoint geodesics. A precise lower bound for sectional curvature in terms of the surface systole is presented. The curvature tensor expansion is applied to establish continuity properties at the frontier strata of the augmented Teichm¨uller space. The curvature tensor has the asymptotic product structure already observed for the metric and covariant derivative. The product structure is combined with the earlier negative sectional curvature results to establish a classification of asymptotic flats. Furthermore, tangent subspaces of more than half the dimension of Teichm¨uller space contain sections with a definite amount of negative curvature. Proofs combine estimates for uniformization group exponential-distance sums and potential theory bounds.

In 1999, Dar conjectured if there is a stronger version of the celebrated Brunn-Minkowski inequality. However, as pointed out by Campi, Gardner, and Gronchi in 2011, this problem seems to be open even for planar o-symmetric convex bodies. In this paper, we give a positive answer to Dar’s conjecture for all planar convex bodies. We also give the equality condition of this stronger inequality. For planar o-symmetric convex bodies, the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality was established by B¨or¨oczky, Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang in 2012. It is stronger than the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality, for planar o-symmetric convex bodies. Gaoyong Zhang asked if there is a general version of this inequality. Fortunately, the solution of Dar’s conjecture, especially, the definition of “dilation position”, inspires us to obtain a general version of the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality. As expected, this inequality implies the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality for all planar convex bodies.

We study the moduli stack of degree 0 semistable G-bundles on an irreducible curve E of arithmetic genus 1, where G is a connected reductive group. Our main result describes a partition of this stack indexed by a certain family of connected reductive subgroups H of G (the E-pseudo-Levi subgroups), where each stratum is computed in terms of bundles on H together with the action of the relative Weyl group. We show that this result is equivalent to a Jordan–Chevalley theorem for such bundles equipped with a framingat a fixed basepoint. In the case where E has a single cusp (respectively, node), this gives a new proof of the Jordan–Chevalley theorem for the Lie algebra g (respectively, group G). We also provide a Tannakian description of these moduli stacks and use it to show that if E is an ordinary elliptic curve, the collection of framed unipotent bundles on E is equivariantly isomorphic to the unipotent cone in G. Finally, we classify the E-pseudo-Levi subgroups using the Borel–de Siebenthal algorithm, and compute some explicit examples.
