In this paper we obtain bounds on $h^0(E)$ where $E$ is a semistable bundle of rank 3 over a smooth irreducible projective curve $X$ of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. These bounds are…

We study moduli spaces of Higgs sheaves valued in line bundles and the associated Hitchin maps on surfaces. We first work out Picard groups of generic (very general) spectral varieties which holds for dimension of at least 2, i.e., a…

In a previous paper, \cite{Berndtsson}, we have studied a property of subharmonic dependence on a parameter of Bergman kernels for a family of weighted $L^2$-spaces of holomorphic functions. Here we prove a result on the curvature of a…

In this paper, we give a simple proof of a triviality criterion due to I.Biswas and J.Pedro and P.Dos Santos. We also prove a vector bundle on a homogenous space is trivial if and only if the restrictions of the vector bundle to Schubert…

For a compact smooth manifold with corners (or finite CW-complex) $X$, we can prescribe a finite set of spin or spin$^h$ manifolds (possibly with boundary) mapping into it so that every real vector bundle over $X$ is determined, up to…

For a weighted projective line X, a wide subcategory of the category coh-X of coherent sheaves over X is called c-invariant if it is closed under the grading shift of the canonical element c. We proved that a c-invariant wide subcategory of…

The purpose of this paper is to prove that one can read off the gonality sequence of a smooth projective curve from syzygies of secant varieties of the curve embedded by a line bundle of sufficiently large degree. More precisely, together…

We introduce and systematically study \emph{hierarchical filtrations} of vector bundles on smooth projective varieties. These are filtrations by saturated subsheaves of equal rank whose successive quotients are torsion sheaves supported in…

Given a holomorphic vector bundle $E:EX X$ over a compact K\"ahler manifold, one introduces twisted GW-invariants of $X$ replacing virtual fundamental cycles of moduli spaces of stable maps $f: \Sigma \to X$ by their cap-product with a…

We consider the holomorphic unramified mapping of two arbitrary finite bordered Riemann surfaces. Extending the map to the doubles $X_1$ and $X_2$ of Riemann surfaces we define the vector bundle on the second double as a direct image of the…

Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve with an involution $\sigma$. A vector bundle $E$ over $X$ is called anti-invariant if there exists an isomorphism $\sigma^*E\rightarrow E^*$. In this paper, we give a construction of the…

We define Seshadri constants for Higgs bundles on smooth projective varieties over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. This definition is inspired by and analogous to the notion of Seshadri constants for ordinary vector…

Consider $E$ a vector bundle over a smooth curve $C$. We compute the $\delta$-invariant of all ample ($\mathbb{Q}$-) line bundles on $\mathbb{P}(E)$ when $E$ is strictly Mumford semistable. We also investigate the case when one assumes that…

In this paper we present a way of computing the degree of the secant (resp., tangent) variety of a smooth projective surface, under the assumption that the divisor giving the embedding in the projective space is $3$-very ample. This method…

We generalise the Kreck-Stolz invariants s_2 and s_3 by defining a new invariant, the t-invariant, for quaternionic line bundles E over closed spin-manifolds M of dimension 4k-1 with H^3(M; \Q) = 0 such that c_2(E)\in H^4(M) is torsion. The…

Let H be a homology theory for algebraic varieties over a field k. To a complete k-variety X, one naturally attaches an ideal of the coefficient ring H(k). We show that, when X is regular, this ideal depends only on the upper Chow motive of…

We prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rank 2 semistable torsion free sheaves (with a generic polarization and any value of c_2) on a K3 or a del Pezzo surface. In the case of a K3 surface, we need to prove a result on the…

We prove two results about vector bundles on singular algebraic surfaces. First, on proper surfaces there are vector bundles of rank two with arbitrarily large second Chern number and fixed determinant. Second, on separated normal surfaces…

Tropical geometry yields good lower bounds, in terms of certain combinatorial-polyhedral optimisation problems, on the dimensions of secant varieties. In particular, it gives an attractive pictorial proof of the theorem of Hirschowitz that…

Given a rank $r$ stable bundle over a smooth irreducible projective curve $C,$ there is an associated rank $2r$ bundle over $S^2(C),$ the second symmetric power of $C.$ In this article we study the stability of this bundle. As a consequence…
