The context of this thesis is derived categories in algebraic geometry and geo- metric quotients. Specifically, we prove the embedding of the derived category of a smooth curve of genus greater than one into the derived category of the moduli space of semistable pairs over the curve. We also describe closed cover conditions under which the composition of a pullback and a pushforward induces a fully faithful functor. To prove our main result, we give an exposition of how to think of general Geometric Invariant Theory quotients as quotients by the multiplicative group.

In this thesis, we report three preprints [Li17a] [Li17b] and [HL17] the author wrote (the last one was written jointly with D. Hansen) during his pursuing of PhD at Columbia. We study smooth proper rigid varieties which admit formal models whose special fibers are projective. The main theorem asserts that the identity components of the associated rigid Picard varieties will automatically be proper. Consequently, we prove that non-archimedean Hopf varieties do not have a projective reduction. The proof of our main theorem uses the theory of moduli of semistable coherent sheaves. Combine known structure theorems for the relevant Picard varieties, together with recent advances in p-adic Hodge theory, We then prove several related results on the low-degree Hodge numbers of proper smooth rigid analytic varieties over p-adic fields.

The thesis mainly studies two problems in Algebraic Geometry and Hodge Theory. The first problem deals with the geometric realizations of certain Hermitian symmetric domains as moduli space of algebraic varieties, notably the Abelian varieties and Calabi-Yau varieties. The study of the first problem occupies most of the thesis. In section 1.3; we study the second problem, namely, the L2 Higgs cohomology of polarized variation of Hodge structures over Hermitian symmetric domains. / Sheng Mao. / "December 2005." / Advisers: Shing-Tung Yau; Nai-Chung Conan Leung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-11, Section: B, page: 6442. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2005. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 108-113). / Electronic reproduction.
