Let $X$ be a smooth Fano manifold equipped with a `` nice '' $n$-blocks collection in the sense of \cite{cm2} and $\mathcal {F}$ a coherent sheaf on $X$. Assume that $X$ is Fano and that all blocks are coherent sheaves. Here we prove that…

Let $C \subset P^{g-1}$ be a smooth canonical curve of genus $g \geq 3$. The purpose of this article is to further develop a method to classify varieties having $C$ as their curve section, using Gaussian map computations. In a previous…

We continue the study, begun by the second author in math.AG/0701889, of secant defective manifolds having "simple entry loci". We prove that such manifolds are rational and describe them in terms of tangential projections. Using also our…

We prove the Bloch conjecture : $ c_2(E) \in H^4_\cald (X,\bbz(2))$ is torsion for holomorphic rank two vector bundles $E$ with an integrable connection over a complex projective variety $X$. We prove also the rationality of the…

In this paper we study the connection between rigid sheaves and separable-exceptional objects on Fano varieties over arbitrary fields. We give criteria for a rigid vector bundle on a Fano variety to be the direct sum of…

We give a proof of Mukai's Theorem on the existence of certain exceptional vector bundles on prime Fano threefolds. To our knowledge this is the first complete proof in the literature. The result is essential for Mukai's biregular…

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 carry out a Painlev\'e analysis to find the cases where the cohomogeneity one steady Ricci soliton equation can be integrable. We concentrate on two classes of solitons: warped products and complex line bundles over a Fano K\"ahler…

Chains of minimal degree rational curves have been used as an important tool in the study of Fano manifolds. Their own geometric properties, however, have not been studied much. The goal of the paper is to introduce an infinitesimal method…

Let $G$ be a connected algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth projective $G$-variety. In this paper, we prove a sufficient criterion to determine the bigness of the tangent bundle $TX$ using the moment map $\Phi_X^G:T^*X\rightarrow…

A conjecture of Manin predicts the asymptotic distribution of rational points of bounded height on Fano varieties. In this paper we use conic bundles to obtain correct lower bounds or a wide class of surfaces over number fields for which…

Many examples of rank two bundles on ${\bf P}^4$ are constructed in positive characteristic. Construction depends on constructing certain special bundles on ${\bf P}^3$ which is shown to be equivalent to constructing bundles on ${\bf P}^4$…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a general Fano complete intersection of type $(d_1,\dots, d_k)$. If at least one $d_i$ is greater than $2$, we show that $X$ contains rational curves of degree $e \leq n$ with balanced normal bundle. If all…

In this paper, we investigate higher order minimal families $H_i$ of rational curves associated to Fano manifolds $X$. We prove that $H_i$ is also a Fano manifold if the Chern characters of $X$ satisfy some positivity conditions. We also…

It is proved that an homogeneous toric bundles over a flag manifold G^\C/P admits a Kaehler-Ricci solitonic metric if and only if it is Fano. In particular, an homogeneous toric bundle of this kind is Kaehler-Einstein if and only if it is…

In view of Mori theory, rational homogenous manifolds satisfy a recursive condition: every elementary contraction is a rational homogeneous fibration and the image of any elementary contraction also satisfies the same property. In this…

We give a cohomological classification of vector bundles of rank $2$ on a smooth affine threefold over an algebraically closed field having characteristic unequal to $2$. As a consequence we deduce that cancellation holds for rank $2$…

S. Kov\'acs proposed a conjecture on rigidity results induced by ample subsheaves of some exterior power of tangent bundles for projective manifolds. We verify the conjecture in the case of second exterior products under a rank condition.…

We propose Gamma Conjectures for Fano manifolds which can be thought of as a square root of the index theorem. Studying the exponential asymptotics of solutions to the quantum differential equation, we associate a principal asymptotic class…

We classify equivariant topological complex vector bundles over real projective plane under a compact Lie group (not necessarily effective) action. It is shown that nonequivariant Chern classes and isotropy representations at (at most)…
