It has been a long-standing problem to find an adequate definition of a Clifford index for higher rank vector bundles on curves, which should capture the complexity of the curve in its moduli space. An interesting proposal in rank 2 has…

Let $C$ be a smooth irreducible projective algebraic curve defined over the complex numbers. The notion of the Clifford index of $C$ was extended a few years ago to semistable bundles of any rank. Recent work has been focussed mainly on the…

In this paper, we determine bundles which compute the higher Clifford indices for trigonal curves.

For smooth projective curves the Clifford index is an important invariant which provides a bound for the dimension of the space of sections of a line bundle. This is the first step in distinguishing curves of the same genus. In this paper…

Two definitions of the Clifford index for vector bundles on a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g\ge4$ were introduced in a previous paper by the authors. In another paper the authors obtained results on one of these indices for bundles…

In this paper, we remove a technical hypothesis from a previous paper. This allows us to construct stable bundles of rank 2 with Clifford index significantly smaller than the classical Clifford index on suitably chosen curves of any genus…

Clifford indices for semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective curve of genus at least 4 were defined in a previous paper of the authors. The present paper studies bundles which compute these Clifford indices. We show that under…

Clifford indices for semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective curve of genus at least 4 were defined in previous papers of the authors. In the present paper, we establish lower bounds for the Clifford indices for rank 3 bundles. As…

We functorially identify similarity classes of line-bundle-valued quadratic forms on rank two vector bundles with isomorphism classes of pairs consisting of the degree zero and the degree one parts of the associated generalized Clifford…

Let $(X,H)$ be a polarized K3 surface with $\mathrm{Pic}(X) = \mathbb Z H$, and let $C\in |H|$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$. We give an upper bound on the dimension of global sections of a semistable vector bundle on $C$. This allows us…

We prove the $p$-curvature conjecture for rank two vector bundles with connection on generic curves, by combining deformation techniques for families of varieties and topological arguments.

Here we consider the product of varieties with $n$-blocks collections . We give some cohomological splitting conditions for rank 2 bundles. A cohomological characterization for vector bundles is also provided. The tools are Beilinson's type…

We develop a general theory of Clifford algebras for finite morphisms of schemes and describe applications to the theory of Ulrich bundles and connections to period-index problems for curves of genus 1.

We study vector bundles on the moduli stack of elliptic curves over a local ring R. If R is a field or a discrete valuation ring of (residue) characteristic not 2 or 3, all these vector bundles are sums of line bundles. For R the 3-local…

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…

We define the isomorphism classes of torus-equivariant rank 2 arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (aCM) vector bundles on the Veronese surface, up to a twist by the hyperplane class, and count them. Our approach makes use of Klyachko's…

We attempt to describe the rank 2 vector bundles on a curve C which are specializations of the trivial bundle. We get a complete classifications when C is Brill-Noether generic, or when it is hyperelliptic; in both cases all limit vector…

We give the classification of globally generated vector bundles of rank $2$ on a smooth quadric surface with $c_1\le (2,2)$ in terms of the indices of the bundles, and extend the result to arbitrary higher rank case. We also investigate…

In this paper we construct new examples of stable bundles of rank 2 of small degree with 4 sections on a smooth irreducible curve of maximal Clifford index. The corresponding Brill-Noether loci have negative expected dimension of…

We study a connection between two topics: Decoding of Goppa codes arising from an algebraic curve, and rank two extensions of certain line bundles on the curve.
