We introduce and study a new way to catagorize supersingular abelian varieties defined over a finite field by classifying them as fully maximal, mixed, or fully minimal. The type of $A$ depends on the normalized Weil numbers of $A$ and its…

Let $K$ be a number field, $A/K$ be an absolutely simple abelian variety of CM type, and $\ell$ be a prime number. We give explicit bounds on the degree over $K$ of the division fields $K(A[\ell^n])$, and when $A$ is an elliptic curve we…

In this paper we study totally geodesic subvarieties $Y \subset \mathsf{A}_g$ of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties with respect to the Siegel metric, for $g\geq 4$. We prove that if $Y$ is generically contained in…

In this paper, we study combinatorial properties of stable curves. To the dual graph of any nodal curve, it is naturally associated a group, which is the group of components of the N\'eron model of the generalized Jacobian of the curve. We…

Generalizing the Martens theorem for line bundles over a curve $C$, we obtain upper bounds on the dimension of the Brill--Noether locus $B^k_{n, d}$ parametrizing stable bundles of rank $n \ge 2$ and degree $d$ over $C$ with at least $k$…

Let S be a K3 surface and assume for simplicity that it does not contain any (-2)-curve. Using coherent systems, we express every non-simple Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle on S as an extension of two sheaves of some special type, that we refer to…

The derived category of coherent systems is an interesting triangulated category associated with a smooth, projective curve $C$. These categories admit Bridgeland stability conditions, as recently shown by Feyzbakhsh and Novik. Their…

Let $C$ be a curve of genus $g\geq 2$. A coherent system on $C$ consists of a pair $(E,V)$ where $E$ is an algebraic vector bundle of rank $n$ and degree $d$ and $V$ is a subspace of dimension $k$ of sections of $E$. The stability of the…

We show that certain divisors of Brill-Noether and Gieseker-Petri type span extremal rays of the effective cone in the moduli space of stable genus one curves with $n$ ordered marked points. In particular, they are different from the…
