In view of Mori theory, rational homogenous manifolds satisfy a recursive condition: every elementary contraction is a rational homogeneous fibration and the image of any elementary contraction also satisfies the same property. In this…

We prove some results on effective very ampleness and projective normality for some varieties with trivial canonical bundle. In the first part we prove an effective projective normality result for an ample line bundle on regular smooth…

Let X be a smooth, complete, toric variety. We study those curves C in X that are contractible, in the sense that there exists an equivariant morphism with connected fibers, with source X, that contracts exactly the irreducible curves that…

Bernardi and Tirabassi show the existence of full strong exceptional collections consisting of line bundles on smooth toric Fano $3$-folds under assuming Bondal's conjecture, which states that the Frobenius push-forward of the structure…

We show that the tangent bundle of a projective manifold with nef anticanonical class is generically nef. That is, its restriction to a curve cut out by general sufficiently ample divisors is a nef vector bundle. This confirms a conjecture…

Given a smooth projective toric variety $X$ of Picard rank 2, we resolve the diagonal sheaf on $X \times X$ by a linear complex of length $\dim{X}$ consisting of finite direct sums of line bundles. As applications, we prove a new case of a…

We investigate the possibility of embedding minimal abelian surfaces in smooth toric 4-folds with Picard number 2. The existence of such an embedding imposes conditions on the 4-fold, which we partly describe. On the other hand, we exhibit…

This paper proves that every projective toric variety is the fine moduli space for stable representations of an appropriate bound quiver. To accomplish this, we study the quiver $Q$ with relations $R$ corresponding to the finite-dimensional…

Let $S$ be a non-uniruled (i.e., non-birationally ruled) smooth projective surface. We show that the tangent bundle $T_S$ is pseudo-effective if and only if the canonical divisor $K_S$ is nef and the second Chern class vanishes, i.e.,…

We classify compact K\"ahler manifolds with semi-positive holomorphic bisectional and big tangent bundles. We also classify compact complex surfaces with semi-positive tangent bundles and compact complex $3$-folds of the form $P(T^*X)$…

In this note, we give a brief exposition on the differences and similarities between strictly nef and ample vector bundles, with particular focus on the circle of problems surrounding the geometry of projective manifolds with strictly nef…

We define the nef complexity of a projective variety $X$. This invariant compares $\dim X+\rho(X)$ with the sum of the coefficients of nef partitions of $-K_X$. We prove that the nef complexity is non-negative and it is zero precisely for…

We classify nef vector bundles on a smooth hyperquadric of dimension three with first Chern class two over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular, we see that they are globally generated.

We describe the effective and the big cones of a projective symmetric variety. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient combinatorial criterion for the bigness of a nef divisor on a projective symmetric variety. When the variety is…

The nef cone of a projective variety Y is an important and often elusive invariant. In this paper we construct two polyhedral lower bounds and one polyhedral upper bound for the nef cone of Y using an embedding of Y into a toric variety.…

We obtain an explicit upper bound on the torsion of the Picard group of the forms of the affine line and their regular completions. We also obtain a sufficient condition for the Picard group of the forms of the affine line to be non trivial…

Let X be a complete toric variety and let Y be a smooth projective variety with Picard number one. We prove that, if there exists a surjective morphism from X to Y, then Y is a projective space.

We prove that every topological/smooth $\T=(\C^{*})^{n}$-equivariant vector bundle over a topological toric manifold of dimension $2n$ is a topological/smooth Klyachko vector bundle in the sense of arXiv:2504.02205.

In this paper we prove the following result : if the p-th tensor power of the tangent bundle of a smooth projective variety contains the p-th power of an ample line bundle, then the variety is isomorphic either to the projective space or to…
