We prove that any vector bundle computing the rank-two Clifford index of a smooth projective algebraic curve is linearly semistable. We also identify conditions under which such bundles become linearly stable, thereby addressing a question…

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…

In previous works, the authors investigated the relationships between linear stability of a generated linear series $|V|$ on a curve $C$, and slope stabillity of the vector bundle $M_{V,L} := \ker (V \otimes \mathcal{O}_C \to L)$. In…

We show the stability of certain syzygies of line bundles on curves, which we call transforms, and are kernels of the evaluation map on subspaces of the space of global sections. For the transforms constructed, we prove the existence of…

The dimension of spaces of global sections for line bundles on semistable curves parametrized by the compactified Picard scheme is studied. The theorem of Riemann is shown to hold. The theorem of Clifford is shown to hold in the following…

This is the author's 2008 thesis from the University of Chicago. We generalize the notion of the Clifford index to an arbitrary very ample line bundle and show how it determines when a curve and its various secant varieties have…

Let $X$ be a semistable curve and $L$ a line bundle whose multidegree is uniform, i.e., in the range between those of the structure sheaf and the dualizing sheaf of $X$. We establish an upper bound for $h^0(X,L)$, which generalizes the…

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…

We study the Clifford type inequality for a particular type of curves $C_{2,2,5}$, which are contained in smooth quintic threefolds. This allows us to prove some stronger Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequalities for Chern characters of stable…

Using Bridgeland stability conditions we give sufficient criteria for a stable vector bundle on a surface to remain stable when restricted to a curve. We give a stronger criterion when the vector bundle is a general vector bundle on the…

Let C be a smooth projective curve with genus g>1 and Clifford index c(C) and let L be a line bundle on C generated by its global sections. The morphism i:C -->P(H^0(L))=P is well-defined and i*T is the restriction to C of the tangent…

We study some examples of Bridgeland-Douglas stability conditions on triangulated categories. From one side we give a complete description of the stability manifolds for smooth projective curves of positive genus. From the other side we…

Let f :S\to B be a non locally trivial fibred surface. We prove a lower bound for the slope of f depending increasingly from the relative irregularity of f and the Clifford index of the general fibres.

In this paper, we study the $(k,l)$-stable vector bundles over non-singular projective curve $X$ of genus $g\geq 2,$ its relation with stability and Segre invariants. For rank 2 and 3, we give an explicit description and relation of…

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…

We study the stability of coassociative 4-folds with conical singularities under perturbations of the ambient G_2 structure by defining an integer invariant of a coassociative cone which we call the stability index. The stability index of a…

We show that the locally free sheaf of locally exact differentials on a smooth projective curve of genus at least two over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p is a stable vector bundle. This answers a question of Raynaud.

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…

The purpose of this paper is to explore the geometry and establish the slope stability of tautological vector bundles on Hilbert schemes of points on smooth surfaces. By establishing stability in general we complete a series of results of…

We extend the notion of Clifford index to reduced curves with planar singularities by considering rank 1 torsion free sheaves. We investigate the behaviour of the Clifford index with respect to the combinatorial properties of the curve and…
