Let C be an ACM (projectively normal) nondegenerate smooth curve in projective 3-space, and suppose C is general in its Hilbert scheme - this is irreducible once the postulation is fixed. Answering a question posed by Peskine, we show the…

We extend the results of Pareschi on the constancy of the gonality and Clifford index of smooth curves in a complete linear system on Del Pezzo surfaces of degrees $\geq 2$ to the case of Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1, where we explicitly…

Let $C$ be a curve with two smooth components and a single node. Let $\mathcal{U}_C(r,w,\chi)$ be the moduli space of $w$-semistable classes of depth one sheaves on $C$ having rank $r$ on both components and Euler characteristic $\chi$. In…

We develop a categorical analogue of Clifford theory for strongly graded rings over graded fusion categories. We describe module categories over a fusion category graded by a group $G$ as induced from module categories over fusion…

Let $F\subseteq\mathbb P ^{a+1}$ be a non-degenerate $K3$ surface of degree $2a$, where $a\ge2$. In this paper we deal with Ulrich bundles on $F$ of rank $2$. We deal with their stability and we construct $K3$ surfaces endowed with families…

There is strong evidence for the belief that `almost all' finite semigroups, whether we consider multiplication operations on a fixed set or their isomorphism classes, are nilpotent of index 3 (3-nilpotent for short). The only known method…

Let $C$ be a curve of genus at least three defined over a number field, and let $r$ be the rank of the rational points of its Jacobian. Under mild hypotheses on $r$, recent results by Katz, Rabinoff, Zureick-Brown, and Stoll bound the…

In order to prove new existence results in Brill-Noether theory for rank-2 vector bundles with fixed special determinant, we develop foundational definitions and results for limit linear series of higher-rank vector bundles. These include…

A conic fibration has an associated sheaf of even Clifford algebras on the base. In this paper, we study the relation between the moduli spaces of modules over the sheaf of even Clifford algebras and the Prym variety associated to the conic…

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.

Generalizing the Martens theorem for line bundles over a curve $C$, we obtain upper bounds on the dimension of the Brill--Noether locus $B^k_{n, d}$ parametrizing stable bundles of rank $n \ge 2$ and degree $d$ over $C$ with at least $k$…

This paper replaces the previous longer version and focuses on the specialty $2$ case. More precisely, in this paper we address the Brill-Noether theory for rank-two, degree $d$ stable bundles of speciality $2$ on a general $\nu$-gonal…

The Clifford Hierarchy has been a central topic in quantum computation due to its strong connections with fault-tolerant quantum computation, magic state distillation, and more. Nevertheless, only sections of the hierarchy are fully…

Let $k$ be a number field and $\mathcal{E}$ an elliptic curve defined over the function field $k(T)$ given by an equation of the form $y^2 = a_3x^3 + a_2x^2 + a_1x + a_0$, where $a_i \in k[T]$ and $deg(a_i) \leq 2$. We explore the conic…

We classify (possibly non commutative) algebras of low rank over a domain R. We first review results for algebras of rank 2 and for finite-dimensional division algebras over the real numbers. These results motivate us to consider which…

We study ACM bundles on cubic threefolds by using derived category techniques. We prove that the moduli space of stable Ulrich bundles of any rank is always non-empty by showing that it is birational to a moduli space of semistable torsion…

The aim of this paper is to classify indecomposable rank 2 arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) bundles on compete intersection Calabi-Yau (CICY) threefolds and prove the existence of some of them. New geometric properties of the curves…

We establish for smooth projective real curves the equivalent of the classical Clifford inequality known for complex curves. We also study the cases when equality holds.

Let $(M,g)$ be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature $(p,q)$. We construct mutually quasi-inverse equivalences between the groupoid of bundles of weakly-faithful complex Clifford modules on $(M,g)$ and the groupoid of reduced complex…

Let X be a curve over a number field K with genus g>=2, $\pp$ a prime of O_K over an unramified rational prime p>2r, J the Jacobian of X, r=rank J(K), and $\scrX$ a regular proper model of X at $\pp$. Suppose r<g. We prove that…
