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…

Consider an action of a connected compact Lie group on a compact complex manifold $M$, and two equivariant vector bundles $L$ and $E$ on $M$, with $L$ of rank 1. The purpose of this paper is to establish holomorphic Morse inequalities \`{a}…

We study geometrical properties of an Ulrich vector bundle $E$ of rank $r$ on a smooth $n$-dimensional variety $X \subseteq \mathbb P^N$. We characterize ampleness of $E$ and of $\det E$ in terms of the restriction to lines contained in…

We study the moduli spaces of self-dual instantons on CP^2 in a simple group G. When G is a classical group, these instanton solutions can be realised using ADHM-like constructions which can be naturally embedded into certain three…

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: On the one side we would like to close a gap on the classification of vector bundles over $5$-manifolds. Therefore it will be necessary to study quaternionic line bundles over $5$-manifolds which are…

We study function theory and K\"ahler geometry on total spaces of vector bundles on an elliptic curve. For rank two vector bundles of degree zero, we show that any two total spaces are biholomorphic if and only if the corresponding vector…

Let X be a projective smooth irreducible polarized variety over the field of complex numbers. Typical examples of wide extensions are vector bundles E that have a subsheaf F whose slope is much bigger than the slope of E/F, and such that F…

We employ the ADHM method to derive the moduli space of two instantons in U(1) gauge theory on a noncommutative space. We show by an explicit hyperK\"ahler quotient construction that the relative metric of the moduli space of two instantons…

We compute cup product pairings in the integral cohomology ring of the moduli space of rank two stable bundles with odd determinant over a Riemann surface using methods of Zagier. The resulting formula is related to a generating function…

In this paper we deal with a particular class of rank two vector bundles (\emph{instanton} bundles) on the Fano threefold of index one $F:=\mathbb{F}_1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$. We show that every instanton bundle on $F$ can be described as the…

We describe invariant principal and Cartan connections on homogeneous principal bundles and show how to calculate the curvature and the holonomy; in the case of an invariant Cartan connection we give a formula for the infinitesimal…

We extend the worldline instanton technique to compute the vacuum pair production rate for spatially inhomogeneous electric background fields, with the spatial inhomogeneity being genuinely two or three dimensional, both for the magnitude…

We describe the properties of instantons in lattice gauge theory when the action is a fixed point action of some renormalization group transformation. We present a theoretically consistent method for measuring topological charge using an…

We study the irreducible components of the moduli space of instanton sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^3$, that is rank 2 torsion free sheaves $E$ with $c_1(E)=c_3(E)=0$ satisfying $h^1(E(-2))=h^2(E(-2))=0$. In particular, we classify all instanton…

We propose a notion of instanton bundle (called $H$-instanton bundle) on any projective variety of dimension three polarized by a very ample divisor $H$, that naturally generalizes the ones on $\mathbb{P}^3$ and on the flag threefold…

We investigate the Gopakumar-Vafa (GV) theory of local curves, namely, the total spaces of rank two vector bundles with canonical determinant on smooth projective curves. Under a certain genericity condition on the rank two bundles, we…

In this paper we show an abundance of complete K\"ahler metrics with negative holomorphic bisectional curvature on total spaces of certain vector bundles. Assume that such total spaces are endowed with a wider class of nonpositively curved…

We derive the $s$-invariants of certain simply connected $7$-manifolds whose second homology groups are isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$. We apply the $s$-invariants to give a partial classification of simply connected total spaces of circle…

Using properties of skew-Hamiltonian matrices and classic connectedness results, we prove that the moduli space $M_{ort}^0(r,n)$ of stable rank $r$ orthogonal vector bundles on $\mathbb{P}^2$, with Chern classes $(c_1,c_2)=(0,n)$, and…

We describe explicitly the moduli spaces $M^{pst}_g(S,E)$ of polystable holomorphic structures $E$ with $\det E\cong K$ on a rank 2 vector bundle $E$ with $c_1(E)=c_1(K)$ and $c_2(E)=0$ for all minimal class VII surfaces $S$ with $b_2(S)=1$…
