The moduli space of slope-stable vector bundles on a normal projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$ is stratified with respect to the decomposition type. On a smooth projective curve of genus at…
We study vector bundles on curves with rational tails and their smoothings and give a sufficient condition for the general fibre to be balanced.
We introduce a notion of equivariant vector bundles on schemes over semirings. We do this by considering the functor of points of a locally free sheaf. We prove that every toric vector bundle on a toric scheme $X$ over an idempotent…
We prove two results. First, we establish that the normal bundle of any smooth curve of genus 7 having maximal Clifford index is stable. Note that 7 is the smallest genus for which such a result could possibly hold. We then show that rank…
The geometry of divisors on algebraic curves has been studied extensively over the years. The foundational results of this Brill-Noether theory imply that on a general curve, the spaces parametrizing linear series (of fixed degree and…
When the action of a reductive group on a projective variety has a suitable linearisation, Mumford's geometric invariant theory (GIT) can be used to construct and study an associated quotient variety. In this article we describe how…
We consider the moduli space of rank two, odd degree, semi-stable Real vector bundles over a real curve, calculating the singular cohomology ring in odd and zero characteristic for most examples.
Classical Clifford theory studies the decomposition of simple $G$-modules into simple $H$-modules for some normal subgroup $H \triangleleft G$. In this paper we deal with chains of normal subgroups $1 \triangleleft G_1 \triangleleft \cdots…
In this article, we provide an overview of a one-to-one correspondence between representations of the generalized Clifford algebra $C_f$ of a ternary cubic form $f$ and certain vector bundles (called Ulrich bundles) on a cubic surface $X$.…
Two new invariants that are closely related to Milnor's curvature-torsion invariant are introduced. The first, the spiral index of a knot, captures the minimum number of maxima among all knot projections that are free of inflection points.…
This paper is the second in a series of three devoted to the smooth classification of simply connected elliptic surfaces. In this paper, we study the case where one of the multiple fibers has even multiplicity, and describe the moduli space…
We prove that every irreducible component of semi-regular loci of effective line bundles in the Picard scheme of a smooth projective variety has at worst rational singularities. This generalizes Kempf's result on rational singularities of…
The holomorphic invariants introduced by Futaki as obstruction to the asymptotic Chow semistability are studied by an algebraic-geometric point of view and are shown to be the Mumford weights of suitable line bundles on the Hilbert scheme.…
This short note is some obvious mathematical addendum to our papers on Wilson loops on polygon-like contours with circular edges \cite{Dorn:2020meb,Dorn:2020vzj}. Using the technique of osculating spheres and circles we identify the…
We estimate the dimensions of the spaces of holomorphic sections of certain line bundles to give improved lower bounds on the index of complex isotropic harmonic maps to complex projective space from the sphere and torus, and in some cases…
In this largely-expository note, we describe a class of divisors on elliptic curves that index the inflection points of linear series arising (as subspaces of holomorphic sections) from line bundles on $\mathbb{P}^1$ via pullback along the…
The purpose of these notes is to give an introduction to Deligne-Mumford stacks and their moduli spaces, with emphasis on the moduli problem for curves. The paper has 4 sections. In section 1 we discuss the general problem of constructing a…
Categorical resolutions of singularities are a replacement of resolution of singularities within the realm of triangulated categories. They allow the study of the derived category of a singular variety $X$ via a triangulated category that…
I apply the algebraic framework developed in [1] to study geometry of hyperbolic spaces in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions. The background material on projectivised Clifford algebras and their application to Cayley-Klein geometries is described in…
The classification of algebraic vector bundles of rank 2 over smooth affine fourfolds is a notoriously difficult problem. Isomorphism classes of such vector bundles are not uniquely determined by their Chern classes, in contrast to the…
