We prove a conjecture of Dale Peterson on positivity in the multiplication in the T-equivariant cohomology of the flag variety. The theorem follows from a more general positivity result about the equivariant cohomology of varieties with…

This is a survey of results on positivity of vector bundles, inspired by the Brunn-Minkowski and Pr\'ekopa theorems. Applications to complex analysis, K\"ahler geometry and algebraic geometry are also discussed.

A celebrated conjecture of Kobayashi and Lang says that the canonical line bundle $K_X$ of a Kobayashi hyperbolic compact complex manifold $X$ is ample. In this note we prove that $K_X$ is ample if $X$ is projective and satisfies a stronger…

Very ampleness criteria for rank 2 vector bundles over smooth, ruled surfaces over rational and elliptic curves are given. The criteria are then used to settle open existence questions for some special threefolds of low degree.

We confirm Beauville's conjecture that claims that if the p-th exterior power of the tangent bundle of a smooth projective variety contains the p-th power of an ample line bundle, then the variety is either the projective space or the…

We prove that a general complete intersection of dimension $n$, codimension $c$ and type $d_1, \dots, d_c$ in $\mathbb{P}^N$ has ample cotangent bundle if $c \geq 2n-2$ and the $d_i$'s are all greater than a bound that is $O(1)$ in $N$ and…

We prove the abundance theorem for semi log canonical surfaces in positive characteristic.

Using recent results of Bayer-Macr\`i, we compute in many cases the pseudoeffective and nef cones of the projectivised cotangent bundle of a smooth projective K3 surface. We then use these results to construct explicit families of smooth…

Our main goal in this article is to establish a quantitative version of the positivity properties of twisted relative pluricanonical bundles and their direct images. The notion of "singular Hermitian metric" on vector bundles (together with…

We introduce a notion of admissible Hermitian metrics on parabolic bundles and define positivity properties for the same. We develop Chern-Weil theory for parabolic bundles and prove that our metric notions coincide with the already…

We provide new examples of manifolds which admit a Riemannian metric with sectional curvature nonnegative, and strictly positive at one point. Our examples include the unit tangent bundles of $CP^n$, $HP^n$ and $CaP^2$, and a family of lens…

Let $L$ be a big and semipositive line bundle on a complex projective manifold $X$, and let $\theta\in c_1(L)$ be a smooth semipositive representative. In the adjoint setting $H^0(X,L^k\otimes K_X)$, we prove that Donaldson's quantized…

In this paper, we prove the abundance conjecture for threefolds over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p > 3$ in the case of numerical dimension equals to $2$. More precisely, we prove that if $(X,B)$ be a projective lc threefold pair…

A necessary and sufficient condition is given for semi-ampleness of a numerically effective (nef) and big line bundle in positive characteristic. One application is to the geometry of the universal stable curve over M_g, specifically, the…

In this paper, we extend the structure theorem for smooth projective varieties with nef tangent bundle to projective klt varieties whose tangent sheaf is either positively curved or almost nef. Specifically, we show that such a variety $X$,…

In this paper we consider various notions of positivity for distributions on complex projective manifolds. We start by analyzing distributions having big slope with respect to curve classes, obtaining characterizations of generic projective…

We prove an analogue in higher dimensions of the classical Narasimhan-Seshadri theorem for strongly stable vector bundles of degree 0 on a smooth projective variety $X$ with a fixed ample line bundle $\Theta$. As applications, over fields…

We observe that the proof of the Bogomolov stable restriction theorem can be adapted to give an ampleness criterion for globally generated rank 2 vector bundles on certain surfaces. This applies to the Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundles, to…
