We show that a proper algebraic n-dimensional scheme Y admits nontrivial vector bundles of rank n, even if Y is non-projective, provided that there is a modification containing a projective Cartier divisor that intersects the exceptional…

We consider the problem of determining all pairs (c_1, c_2) of Chern classes of rank 2 bundles that are cokernel of a skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms in 3 variables, having constant rank 2c_1 and size 2c_1+2. We completely solve the…

We improve Ottaviani's splitting criterion for vector bundles on a quadric hypersurface and obtain the equivalent of the result by Rao, Mohan Kumar and Peterson. Then we give the classification of rank 2 bundles without "inner" cohomology…

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…

Let $X$ be a smooth quartic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^3$. By the Brill-Noether theory of curves on K3 surfaces, if a rank 2 aCM bundle on $X$ is globally generated, then it is the Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle $E_{C,Z}$ associated with a smooth…

We systematically study the splitting of vector bundles on a smooth, projective variety, whose restriction to the zero locus of a regular section of an ample vector bundle splits. First, we find ampleness and genericity conditions which…

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 prove two results about vector bundles on singular algebraic surfaces. First, on proper surfaces there are vector bundles of rank two with arbitrarily large second Chern number and fixed determinant. Second, on separated normal surfaces…

Let $X$ be a ruled surface over a nonsingular curve $C$ of genus $g\geq0$. The main goal of this paper is to construct simple prioritary vector bundles of any rank $r$ on $X$ and to give effective bounds for the dimension of their module of…

By the results of the author and Chiantini in Math.AG/0110102, on a general quintic threefold $X \subset {\mathbf P}^4$ the minimum integer $p$ for which there exists a positive dimensional family of irreducible rank $p$ vector bundles on…

Clifford indices for semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective curve of genus at least 4 were defined in previous papers of the authors. In the present paper, we establish lower bounds for the Clifford indices for rank 3 bundles. As…

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 $2$…

We consider the problem of constructing matrices of linear forms of constant rank by focusing on the associated vector bundles on projective spaces. Important examples are given by the classical Steiner bundles, as well as some special…

In this paper, complex vector bundles of rank $r$ over $8$-dimensional spin$^{c}$ manifolds are classified in terms of the Chern classes of the complex vector bundles and the cohomology ring of the manifolds, where $r = 3$ or $4$. As an…

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.

We study certain moduli spaces of stable vector bundles of rank two on cubic and quartic threefolds. In many cases under consideration, it turns out that the moduli space is complete and irreducible and a general member has vanishing…

We attempt to describe the rank 2 vector bundles on a curve C which are specializations of the trivial bundle. We get a complete classifications when C is Brill-Noether generic, or when it is hyperelliptic; in both cases all limit vector…

Let $\Cal E$ be a very ample vector bundle of rank two on a smooth complex projective threefold $X$. An inequality about the third Segre class of $\Cal E$ is provided when $K_X+\det \Cal E$ is nef but not big, and when a suitable positive…

For $n\geq 3$ and $r\geq n$, we show that there are rank-$r$ vector bundles on $\mathbb{P}^n$ with arbitrary homological dimension. We apply the Bernstein-Gel'fand-Gel'fand correspondence to translate the vector bundle question into a…

We classify globally generated vector bundles on $\mathbf{P}^1 \times \mathbf{P}^1 \times \mathbf{P}^1$ with small first Chern class, i.e. $c_1= (a_1, a_2, a_3)$, $a_i \le 2$. Our main method is to investigate the associated smooth curves…
