We study the positivity properties of the projectivization of a parabolic bundle over a smooth complex projective curve. The generators of its N\'eron--Severi group are computed, and the positive cone is determined. In particular, we…

We confirm Beauville's conjecture that claims that if the p-th exterior power of the tangent bundle of a smooth projective variety contains the p-th power of an ample line bundle, then the variety is either the projective space or the…

Let $X$ be a projective variety and let $C$ be a rational normal curve on $X$. We compute the normal bundle of $C$ in a general complete intersection of hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree in $X$. As a result, we establish the…

In this paper, we classify irregular threefolds with numerically trivial canonical divisors in positive characteristic. For such a variety, if its Albanese dimension is not maximal, then the Albanese morphism will induce a fibration which…

A $k$-very ample line bundle L on a Del Pezzo Surface is numerically characterized. We find that the set of the exceptional curves and effective divisors with selfintersection zero, $\cal S$, plays a very important rule in checking the…

Ran proved that smooth codimension 2 varieties in ${\bf P}^{m+2}$ are $j$-normal if $(j+1)(3j-1)\le m-1$, in this paper we extend this result to small codimension projective varieties. Let $X$ be a r codimension subvariety of $\pro$, we…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety. A recent conjecture of S. Kov\'acs states that if t\ he $p^{\text{th}}$-exterior power of the tangent bundle $T_X$ contains the $p^{\text{th}}$-exterior power of an ample vector bundle, then…

Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…

In this short note, we consider the conjecture that the log canonical divisor (resp. the anti-log canonical divisor) $K_X + \Delta$ (resp. $-(K_X + \Delta)$) on a pair $(X, \Delta)$ consisting of a complex projective manifold $X$ and a…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and let $(L, \varphi)$ be a pseudo-effective line bundle on $X$. We first define a notion of numerical dimension of pseudo-effective line bundles with singular metrics, and then discuss the properties…

We show that positivity of the CM line associated to a family of polarised varieties is intimately related to the stability of its members. We prove that the CM line is nef on any curve which meets the stable locus, and that it is…

Let $\pi\,:\, X \,\longrightarrow\, Y$ be a finite morphism of smooth projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We study the necessary and sufficient criteria for $\pi$ such that there exists a…

We study real double covers of $\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^2$ branched over a $(2,2)$-divisor, which have the structure of a conic bundle threefold with smooth quartic discriminant curve via the second projection. In each isotopy class of…

In this note we address the following kind of question: let X be a smooth, irreducible, projective surface and D a divisor on X$satisfying some sort of positivity hypothesis, then is there some multiple of D depending only on X which is…

We show that if a family of complex varieties over a base B admits a section when restricted to a very general curve in B, then the family must contain a subfamily of rationally connected varieties dominating B. As an application, we deduce…

Consider the scheme parametrizing non-constant morphisms from a fixed projective curve to a projective surface. There is a rational map between this scheme and the Chow variety of $1$-cycles on the surface. We prove that, if the curve is…

We introduce a notion of ampleness for subschemes of higher codimension using the theory of q-ample line bundles. We also investigate certain geometric properties satisfied by ample subvarieties, e.g. the Lefschetz hyperplane theorems and…

In this paper, we investigate, for varieties over $\mathbb C$ with trivial group of $0$-cycles, the gap between essential $\mathrm{CH}_0$-dimension $2$ and essential $\mathrm{CH}_0$-dimension $0$. In particular, we present sufficient (and…

We prove the existence of a projective good moduli space of principal $\mathcal{G}$-bundles under nonconnected reductive group schemes $\mathcal{G}$ over a smooth projective curve $C$. We also prove that the moduli stack of…

A plane curve on a the projective space over a field of characteristic zero is free if its associated sheaf T of tangent vector fields tangent is a free module. Relatively few free curves are known. Here we prove that a divisor consisting…
