We describe the Hodge theory of brilliant families of K3 surfaces. Their characteristic feature is a close link between the Hodge structures of any two fibres over points in the Noether-Lefschetz locus. Twistor deformations, the analytic…
We prove that curves in a non-primitive, base point free, ample linear system on a K3 surface have maximal variation. The result is deduced from general restriction theorems applied to the tangent bundle. We also show how to use…
The Severi variety V_{n,d} of a smooth projective surface S is defined as the subvariety of the linear system |O_S(n)|, which parametrizes curves with d nodes. We show that, for a general surface S of degree k in P^3 and for all n>k-1,…
In this paper, we give a simple description of the deformations of a map between two smooth curves with partially prescribed branching, in the cases that both curves are fixed, and that the source is allowed to vary. Both descriptions work…
In this paper we study the gonality of the normalizations of curves in the linear system $|H|$ of a general primitively polarized complex $K3$ surface $(S,H)$ of genus $p$. We prove two main results. First we give a necessary condition on…
The aim of these notes is to acquaint the reader with important objects in complex algebraic geometry: K3 surfaces and their higher-dimensional analogs, hyperk\"ahler manifolds. These manifolds are interesting from several points of view:…
Over the last few years, wall-crossing for Bridgeland stability conditions has led to a large number of results in algebraic geometry, particular on birational geometry of moduli spaces. We illustrate some of the methods behind these result…
We prove a generalization of the Brill-Noether theorem for the variety of special divisors $W^r_d(C)$ on a general curve $C$ of prescribed gonality. Our main theorem gives a closed formula for the dimension of $W^r_d(C)$. We build on…
We investigate the interplay between the moduli spaces of ample <2>-polarized IHS manifolds of type K3^[2] and of IHS manifolds of type K3^[2] with a nonsymplectic involution with invariant lattice of rank one. In particular we…
We study the geometry of a class of $n$-dimensional smooth projective varieties constructed by Schreieder for their noteworthy Hodge-theoretic properties. In particular, we realize Schreieder's surfaces as elliptic modular surfaces and…
We find an algorithm to compute the cohomology groups of spherical vector bundles on complex projective K3 surfaces, in terms of their Mukai vectors. In many good cases, we give significant simplifications of the algorithm. As an…
Explicit birational geometry of 3-folds represents a second phase of Mori theory, going beyond the foundational work of the 1980s. This paper is a tutorial and colloquial introduction to the explicit classification of Fano 3-folds (Q-Fano…
In this article we study Brill-Noether loci of moduli space of stable bundles over smooth surfaces. We define Petri map as an analogy with the case of curves. We show the non-emptiness of certain Brill-Noether loci over very general quintic…
Given a polarized variety $(X,L)$, we construct and study projections of low degree $ X\dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}(H^0(L^\vee)) \dashrightarrow \mathbb P ^n $ using the associated kernel bundles. As an application, we can show that the…
We consider the geometry of a general polarized K3 surface $(S,h)$ of genus 16 and its Fourier-Mukai partner $(S',h')$. We prove that $S^{[2]}$ is isomorphic to the moduli space $M_{S'}(2,h',7)$ of stable sheaves with Mukai vector…
Given a curve $C$ that is a degree $k$ cover $C \to \mathbb{P}^1$ totally ramified at two points $p$ and $q$, we can seek to understand the space of degree $d$ line bundles on $C$ with prescribed ramification at $p$ and $q$. The…
In an earlier paper we generalised the notion of the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic K3 surface to the Tate-Shafarevich group of a polarised K3 surface. In the present note, we complement the result by proving that the…
I give a conjectural generating function for the numbers of $\delta$-nodal curves in a linear system of dimension $\delta$ on an algebraic surface. It reproduces the results of Vainsencher for the case $\delta\le 6$ and Kleiman-Piene for…
The article revisits birational and biregular automorphisms of the Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface from the perspective of derived categories. Under the assumption that the K3 surface is generic, the birational and biregular…
We prove the Noether-Lefschetz conjecture on the moduli space of quasi-polarized K3 surfaces. This is deduced as a particular case of a general theorem that states that low degree cohomology classes of arithmetic manifolds of orthogonal…
