We review and elaborate on certain aspects of the connections between instanton counting in maximally supersymmetric gauge theories and the computation of enumerative invariants of smooth varieties. We study in detail three instances of…

For a Fano manifold of pseudo-index at least 3 and $c_1^2-2c_2$ nef, we show irreducibility of certain spaces of curves on the Fano manifold implies the manifold is a union of rational surfaces.

In this paper we give a splitting criterion for uniform vector bundles on Fano manifolds covered by lines. As a consequence, we classify low rank uniform vector bundles on Hermitian symmetric spaces and Fano bundles of rank two on…

We prove the boundedness theorem for Fano threefolds with log-terminal singularities of any fixed index. This is an improvement of our earlier result, where we required additionally that the variety is Q-factorial, with Picard number 1. The…

A conjecture of Batyrev and Manin relates arithmetic properties of varieties with ample anticanonical class to geometric invariants; in particular, counting functions defined by metrized ample line bundles and the corresponding asymptotics…

This paper is devoted to the theory of symplectic instanton bundles on an odd dimensional projective space ${\mathbb P}^{2n+1}$ with $n\ge 2$. We study the 't Hooft instanton bundles introduced by Ottaviani and a new family of instanton…

In this note we examine a natural concept of a curve on a supermanifold and the subsequent notion of the jet of a curve. We then tackle the question of geometrically defining the higher order tangent bundles of a supermanifold. Finally we…

A V_{12} Fano threefold is a smooth Fano threefold X of index 1 with Pic X = Z and (-K_X)^3=12. We show that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on any V_{12} threefold X admits a semiorthogonal decomposition consisting of two…

We investigate birational boundedness of Fano varieties and Fano fibrations. We establish an inductive step towards birational boundedness of Fano fibrations via conjectures related to boundedness of Fano varieties and Fano fibrations. As…

Let $M$ be a smooth Fano threefold such that a canonical extension of the tangent bundle is an affine manifold. We show that $M$ is rational homogeneous.

In this note we establish a new Fujita-type effective bound for the base point freeness of adjoint line bundles on a compact complex projective manifold of complex dimension $n$. The bound we obtain (approximately) differs from the linear…

In this paper we derive a list of all the possible indecomposable normalized rank--two vector bundles without intermediate cohomology on the prime Fano threefolds and on the complete intersection Calabi Yau threefolds, say $V$, of Picard…

We prove that the Fano variety of lines of a generic cubic fourfold containing a plane is isomorphic to a moduli space of twisted stable complexes on a K3 surface. On the other hand, we show that the Fano varieties are always birational to…

The Hodge Conjecture is equivalent to a statement about conditions under which a complex vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety admits a holomorphic structure. I advertise a class of abelian four-folds due to Mumford where…

Using monads, we construct a large class of stable bundles of rank 2 and 3 on 3-fold hypersurfaces, and study the set of all possible Chern classes of stable vector bundles.
