We study intersection cohomology of moduli spaces of semistable vector bundles on a complex algebraic surface. Our main result relates intersection Poincare polynomials of the moduli spaces to Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the surface. In…
Components of the Moduli space of sheaves on a K3 surface are parametrized by a lattice; the (algebraic) Mukai lattice. Isometries of the Mukai lattice often lift to symplectic birational isomorphisms of the collection of components. An…
It is well-known that a nonsingular minimal cubic surface is birationally rigid; the group of its birational selfmaps is generated by biregular selfmaps and birational involutions such that all relations between the latter are implied by…
Let $X$ be a K3 surface and let $\text{Spl}(r;c_1,c_2)$ be the moduli space of simple sheaves on $X$ of fixed rank $r$ and Chern classes $c_1$ and $c_2$. Under suitable assumptions, to a pair $(F,W)$ (respectively, $(F,V)$) where $F\in…
We show that birational smooth complex projective varieties with numerically effective canonical bundles along the exceptional loci have the same Betti numbers. In particular, birational smooth minimal models share the same Betti numbers.…
The semistable minimal model program is a special case of the minimal model program concerning 3-folds fibred over a curve and birational morphisms preserving this structure. We classify semistable divisorial contractions which contract the…
We propose a study of the foliations of the projective plane induced by simple derivations of the polynomial ring in two indeterminates over the complex field. These correspond to foliations which have no invariant algebraic curve nor…
We study Le Potier's strange duality conjecture for moduli spaces of sheaves over generic abelian surfaces. We prove the isomorphism for abelian surfaces which are products of elliptic curves, when the moduli spaces consist of sheaves of…
We study the geometry of the morphism between moduli spaces of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb P^{n-1}$ that sends a smooth hypersurface of degree $d+1$ to its associated hypersurface of degree $n(d-1)$. As a result, we obtain a compactification…
The paper determines the change of moduli spaces of rank $2$ sheaves on surfaces with $p_g=0$ under change of polarization and the corresponding change of the Donaldson invariants. In this revised version we have made some minor stylistic…
We investigate the structure of smooth holomorphic foliations with numerically flat tangent bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Extending earlier results on non-uniruled projective manifolds by the second and fourth authors, we show that…
Let $\Sigma$ be a closed surface, $G$ a compact Lie group, with Lie algebra $g$, and $\xi \colon P \to \Sigma$ a principal $G$-bundle. In earlier work we have shown that the moduli space $N(\xi)$ of central Yang- Mills connections, for…
We detail the construction of a weak Poisson bracket over a submanifold of a smooth manifold M with respect to a local foliation of this submanifold. Such a bracket satisfies a weak type Jacobi identity but may be viewed as a usual Poisson…
Moduli spaces of sheaves and Hilbert schemes of points have experienced a recent resurgence in interest in the past several years, due largely to new techniques arising from Bridgeland stability conditions and derived category methods. In…
A birational map from a projective space onto a not too much singular projective variety with a single irreducible non-singular base locus scheme (special birational transformation) is a rare enough phenomenon to allow meaningful and…
A conic fibration has an associated sheaf of even Clifford algebras on the base. In this paper, we study the relation between the moduli spaces of modules over the sheaf of even Clifford algebras and the Prym variety associated to the conic…
We study stacks of slope-semistable twisted sheaves on orbisurfaces with projective coarse spaces and prove that in certain cases they have many of the asymptotic properties enjoyed by the moduli of slope-semistable sheaves on smooth…
We introduce and systematically study \emph{hierarchical filtrations} of vector bundles on smooth projective varieties. These are filtrations by saturated subsheaves of equal rank whose successive quotients are torsion sheaves supported in…
We prove that moduli spaces of torsion-free sheaves on a projective smooth complex surface are irreducible, reduced and of the expected dimension, provided the expected dimension is large enough. Actually we prove more: given a line bundle…
Playing off against each other the real and complex structures, we elucidate the local structure of certain representation spaces in the world of Poisson geometry. Particular cases of these spaces arise as moduli spaces of semistable…
