We show that the projectivization of the exceptional rank 2 vector bundle on an arbitrary smooth V14 Fano threefold after a certain natural flop turns into the projectivization of an instanton vector bundle on a smooth cubic threefold. And…

We prove that the number of indecomposable vector bundles of fixed rank r and degree d over a smooth projective curve X defined over a finite field is given by a polynomial (depending only on the pair (r,d) and the genus g of X) in the Weil…

The interest in rigid vector bundles (with respect to determinant preserving deformations) stems from various sources. From a geometric point of view, non-K\"ahler manifolds are of particular interest with respect to this problem. In this…

We provide unipotent factorizations of vector bundle automorphisms of real and complex vector bundles over smooth manifolds. This generalises work of Thurston-Wasserstein and Wasserstein for trivial vector bundles. We also address two…

We discuss the rigidity (or lack thereof) imposed by different notions of having an abundance of zero curvature planes on a complete Riemannian 3-manifold. We prove a rank rigidity theorem for complete 3-manifolds, showing that having…

We compute the Brauer group of the universal moduli stack of vector bundles on (possibly marked) smooth curves of genus at least three over the complex numbers. As consequence, we obtain an explicit description of the Brauer group of the…

We show that every bundle gerbe on a supermanifold decomposes into a bundle gerbe over the underlying manifold and a 2-form on the supermanifold. This decomposition is not canonical, but is determined by the choice of a projection map to…

We study the Saito-Ikeda infinitesimal invariant of the ccle defined by curves in their jacobians using rank (k+1) vector bundles and we give a criterion for which the higher cycle class map is not trivial. When k=2, this turns out to be…

This paper shows that on the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of fixed rank and determinant (of any degree) on a smooth curve of genus at least two, the base locus of the generalized theta divisor is large provided the rank is…

In this paper we construct indecomposable vector bundles associated to monads on Cartesian products of odd dimension projective spaces. Specifically we establish the existence of monads on…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions to specify vector bundles of conformal blocks for $\mathfrak{sl}_{2m}$ with rectangular weights which have ranks zero, one, and larger than one. First Chern classes of rank one bundles are shown…

Given a smooth totally nonholonomic distribution on a smooth manifold, we construct a singular distribution capturing essential abnormal lifts which is locally generated by vector fields with controlled divergence. Then, as an application,…

Quadric bundles on a compact Riemann surface X generalise orthogonal bundles and arise naturally in the study of the moduli space of representations of $\pi_1(X)$ in Sp(2n,R). We prove some basic results on the moduli spaces of quadric…

We find upper bounds on the essential dimension of the moduli stack of parabolic vector bundles over a curve. When there is no parabolic structure, we improve the known upper bound on the essential dimension of the usual moduli stack. Our…

We completely classify all quotient bundles of a given vector bundle on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. As consequences, we have two additional classification results: a complete classification of all vector bundles that are generated by a…

We construct smooth rational real algebraic varieties of every dimension $\ge$ 4 which admit infinitely many pairwise non-isomorphic real forms.

Let $C$ be a curve and $V \to C$ an orthogonal vector bundle of rank $r$. For $r \le 6$, the structure of $V$ can be described using tensor, symmetric and exterior products of bundles of lower rank, essentially due to the existence of…

We observe that the proof of the Bogomolov stable restriction theorem can be adapted to give an ampleness criterion for globally generated rank 2 vector bundles on certain surfaces. This applies to the Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundles, to…

In this paper we consider the complex vector spaces of holomorphic cross-sections of homogeneous holomorphic vector bundles over elliptic adjoint orbits, and provide a sufficient condition for the vector spaces to be finite dimensional in…

In this paper we characterize the rank two vector bundles on $\mathbb{P}^2$ which are invariant under the actions of the parabolic subgroups $G_p:=\mathrm{Stab}_p(\mathrm{PGL}(3))$ fixing a point in the projective plane,…
