Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$. We consider principal bundles over a $k$-scheme with reductive structure group (not necessarily of finite type). It is showm in particular that for $k$ algebraically closed there exists on any…

In this paper we show that a simplicial complex can be determined uniquely up to isomorphism by its barycentric subdivision or comparability graph. At the end, it is summarized several algebraic, combinatorial and topological invariants of…

In this paper we consider the singularities of the varieties parameterizing stable vector bundles of fixed rank and degree with sections on a smooth curve of genus at least two. In particular, we extend results of Y. Laszlo, and of the…

The signature of a surface bundle over a surface is known to be divisible by 4. It is also known that the signature vanishes if the fiber genus is less than or equal to 2 or the base genus is less than or equal to 1. In this article, we…

We prove that smooth 1-dimensional topological field theories over a manifold are equivalent to vector bundles with connection. The main novelty is our definition of the smooth 1-dimensional bordism category, which encodes cutting laws…

There is a long-standing conjecture which states that every uniform algebraic vector bundle of rank $r<2n$ on the $n$-dimensional projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ is homogeneous. This…

For a variety over certain topological rings $R$, like $\mathbb{Z}_p$ or $\mathbb{C}$, there is a well-studied way to topologize the $R$-points on the variety. In this paper, we generalize this definition to algebraic stacks. For an…

Let $Y \to B$ be a relative smooth projective curve over an affine integral base scheme $B$ of positive characteristic. We provide for all prime characteristics example classes of vector bundles $\mathcal{S}$ over $Y$ such that…

We give equivalent descriptions for the augmented and diminished base loci of vector bundles in characteristic zero. We show that these base loci behave well under pullback, tensor product, and direct sum. Pathological behavior is observed…

A principal bundle over the connected sum of two manifolds need not be diffeomorphic or even homotopy equivalent to a non-trivial connected sum of manifolds. We show however that the homology of the total space of a bundle formed a pullback…

Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are surfaces of finite topological type, where $X$ has genus $g\geq 6$ and $Y$ has genus at most $2g-1$; in addition, suppose that $Y$ is not closed if it has genus $2g-1$. Our main result asserts that every…

In this article we deduce criteria for the splitting and the triviality of vector bundles, by restricting them to partially ample divisors. This allows to study the problem of splitting on the total space of fibre bundles. The statements…

We study moduli spaces of vector bundles on a two-dimensional neighbourhood $Z_k$ of an irreducible curve $\ell = CP^1$ with $\ell^2 = -k$ and give an explicit construction of these moduli as stratified spaces. We give sharp bounds for the…

Consider a fiber bundle in which the total space, the base space and the fiber are all symplectic manifolds. We study the relations between the quantization of these spaces. In particular, we discuss the geometric quantization of a vector…

In this paper we generalise the theory of real vector bundles to a certain class of non-Hausdorff manifolds. In particular, it is shown that every vector bundle fibred over these non-Hausdorff manifolds can be constructed as a colimit of…

We investigate the minimal singularities of metrics on a big line bundle $L$ over a projective manifold when the stable base locus $Y$ of $L$ is a submanifold of codimension $r\geq 1$. Under some assumptions on the normal bundle and a…

We introduce Dolbeault cohomology valued characteristic classes of Higgs bundles over complex manifolds. Flat vector bundles have characteristic classes lying in odd degree de Rham cohomology and a theorem of Reznikov says that these must…

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 show that except two special cases, the sphere bundle of a vector bundle over a simply connected $4$-manifold splits after looping. In particular, this implies that though there are infinitely many inequivalent sphere bundles of a given…

Let X and X' be compact Riemann surfaces of genus at least 3, and let G and G' be nonabelian reductive complex groups. If one component M_G^d(X) of the moduli space for semistable principal G-bundles over X is isomorphic to another…
