We clarify the undecided case $c_2 = 3$ of a theorem of Ein, Hartshorne and Vogelaar [Math. Ann. 259 (1982), 541--569] about the restriction of a stable rank 3 vector bundle with $c_1 = 0$ on the projective 3-space to a general plane. It…
We study different notions of slope of a vector bundle over a smooth projective curve with respect to ampleness and affineness in order to apply this to tight closure problems. This method gives new degree estimates from above and from…
We show that there exists a cubic threefold defined by an invertible polynomial that, when quotiented by the maximal diagonal symmetry group, has a derived category which does not have a full exceptional collection consisting of line…
The moduli space of slope-stable vector bundles on a normal projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$ is stratified with respect to the decomposition type. On a smooth projective curve of genus at…
We systematically analyze a broad class of dual heterotic and F-theory models that give four-dimensional supergravity theories, and compare the geometric constraints on the two sides of the duality. Specifically, we give a complete…
We study sets of commuting reflection functors in the derived category of sheaves on Calabi-Yau varieties. We show that such a collection is determined by a set of mutually orthogonal spherical objects. We also show that when the spherical…
Complex supermanifold structures being deformations of the exterior algebra of a holomorphic vector bundle, have been parametrized by orbits of a group on non-abelian cohomology by P. Green. For the case of odd dimension $4$ and $5$ an…
This paper concerns the explicit construction of extremal Kaehler metrics on total spaces of projective bundles, which have been studied in many places. We present a unified approach, motivated by the theory of hamiltonian 2-forms (as…
The preprints arXiv:math/0610728 and arXiv:math/0612451 are withdrawn due to a problem with Theorem 2.2 in arXiv:math/0610728. The theorem claims that for certain triangulated categories with finitely many indecomposable objects, the…
Let $Q_i(i=1,2)$ be $2g$ dimensional quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^{2g+1}$ and let $Y$ be the smooth intersection $Q_1\cap Q_2$. We associate the linear subspace in $Y$ with vector bundles on the hyperelliptic curve $C$ of genus $g$ by the left…
Let E be an elementary abelian p-group of rank r and let k be a field of characteristic p. We introduce functors F_i from finitely generated kE-modules of constant Jordan type to vector bundles over projective space of dimension r-1. The…
A plane curve C defined by a homogeneous polynomial satisfying Laplace's equation appears canonically as the vanishing of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms. As a consequence there is a natural semi-stable rank two…
We prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with a K\"ahler metric of negative holomorphic sectional curvature has ample canonical line bundle. In dimensions greater than three, we prove that, under equal assumptions, the nef…
In this paper we propose and investigate in full generality new notions of (continuous, non-isometric) symmetry on hyperk\"ahler spaces. These can be grouped into two categories, corresponding to the two basic types of continuous…
We construct a Fourier--Mukai transform for smooth complex vector bundles $E$ over a torus bundle $\pi:M \to B,$ the vector bundles being endowed with various structures of increasing complexity. At a minimum, we consider vector bundles $E$…
We show that the category of projective modules over a graded commutative ring admits a triangulation with respect to module suspension if and only if the ring is a finite product of graded fields and exterior algebras on one generator over…
Let $X$ be a normal, connected and projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. It is known that a vector bundle $V$ on $X$ is essentially finite if and only if it is trivialized by a proper surjective morphism $f:Y\to X$. In…
In this paper, we study smooth complex projective varieties $X$ such that some exterior power $\bigwedge^r T_X$ of the tangent bundle is strictly nef. We prove that such varieties are rationally connected. We also classify the following two…
Complex structure moduli of a Calabi-Yau threefold in $N=1$ supersymmetric heterotic compactifications can be stabilized by holomorphic vector bundles. The stabilized moduli are determined by a computation of Atiyah class. In this paper, we…
Supersymmetric heterotic string models, built from a stable holomorphic vector bundle $V$ on a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$, usually come with many vector bundle moduli whose stabilisation is a difficult and complex task. It is therefore of…
