Let $X$ be an Abelian cover $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$ ramified at $mr$ points, $\lambda_1...\lambda_{mr}.$ we define a class of non positive divisors on $X$ of degree $g-1$ supported in the pre images of the branch points on $X$, such that the…

Abelian covers of $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$, with fixed Galois group $A$, are classified, as a first step, by a discrete set of parameters. Any such cover $X$, of genus $g\geq1$ say, carries a finite set of $A$-invariant divisors of degree $g-1$ on…

The main aim of this paper is to show that a cyclic cover of $\mathbb{P}^n$ branched along a very general divisor of degree $d$ is not stably rational provided that $n \ge 3$ and $d \ge n+1$. This generalizes the result of…

We study base points of the generalized Theta-divisor on the moduli space of vector bundles on a smooth algebraic curve X of genus g defined over an algebraically closed field. To do so, we use the derived categories D(Pic(X)), D(Jac(X)),…

We completely describe all Brill-Noether loci on metric graphs consisting of a chain of g cycles with arbitrary edge lengths, generalizing work of Cools, Draisma, Payne, and Robeva. The structure of these loci is determined by displacement…

In various contexts, the zeta function of an object splits into a product of $L$-functions. We categorify this product formula for quadratic covers of objects in the following contexts: quadratic extensions of number fields, ramified double…

Let $Y$ admit a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition of its derived category, and consider a cyclic cover $X\to Y$ ramified over a divisor $Z$. In a setting not considered by Kuznetsov and Perry, we define a subcategory $\mathcal{A}_Z$ of…

Let $S$ and $T$ be reduced divisors on $\mathbb{P}^2$ which have no common components, and $\Delta=S+2\,T.$ We assume $\deg\Delta=6.$ Let $\pi:X\to\mathbb{P}^2$ be a normal triple cover with branch divisor $\Delta,$ i.e. $\pi$ is ramified…

Esnault-Viehweg developed the theory of cyclic branched coverings $\tilde X\to X$ of smooth surfaces providing a very explicit formula for the decomposition of $H^1(\tilde X,\mathbb{C})$ in terms of a resolution of the ramification locus.…

We compute the classes of universal theta divisors of degrees zero and g-1 over the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of curves, with various integer weights on the points, in particular reproving a recent result of…

The paper develops the result of second Thomae theorem in hyperelliptic case. The main formula, called general Thomae formula, provides expressions for values at zero of the lowest non-vanishing derivatives of theta functions with singular…

Given a variety $Y$ with a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition of its derived category, we consider a degree $n$ cyclic cover $X \to Y$ ramified over a divisor $Z \subset Y$. We construct semiorthogonal decompositions of $\mathrm{D^b}(X)$…

We show that the theta representations on certain covers of general linear groups support certain types of unique functionals. The proof involves two types of Fourier coefficients. The first are semi-Whittaker coefficients, which generalize…

We prove some distribution results for the $k$-fold divisor function in arithmetic progressions to moduli that exceed the square-root of length $X$ of the sum, with appropriate constrains and averaging on the moduli, saving a power of $X$…

We compute the class of a divisor on M_{g,n} given as the closure of the locus of smooth pointed curves [C; x_1,..., x_n] for which \sum d_j x_j has an effective representative, where d_j are integers summing up to g-1, not all positive.…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$. Jacobi's inversion theorem states that the Abel-Jacobi map $\varphi : X^{(g)} \longrightarrow J(X)$ is surjective, where $X^{(g)}$ is the symmetric product of $X$ of degree $g$ and $J(X)$…

Let E and F be vector bundles over a complex projective smooth curve X, and suppose that 0 -> E -> W -> F -> 0 is a nontrivial extension. Let G be a subbundle of F, and D an effective divisor on X. We give a criterion for the subsheaf G(-D)…

In this article, we investigate some properties of cyclic coverings of complex surfaces of general type branched along smooth curves that are numerically equivalent to a multiple of the canonical class. The main results concern coverings of…
