Any arrangement of hyperplanes in general position in $P^n$ can be regarded as a divisor with normal crossing. We study the bundles of logarithmic 1-forms corresponding to such divisors` from the point of view of classification of vector…

Let $S$ be a surface with $p_g(S)=0$, $q(S)=1$ and endowed with a very ample line bundle $\mathcal O_S(h)$ such that $h^1\big(S,\mathcal O_S(h)\big)=0$. We show that such an $S$ supports families of dimension $p$ of pairwise non-isomorphic,…

In this paper we construct vector bundles associated to monads on $X=\mathbb{P}^n\times\mathbb{P}^n\times\mathbb{P}^m\times\mathbb{P}^m$. We first establish the existence of such monads on $X$. Once the monads exist, the next natural…
