Let $C\subset \mathbb {P}^n$ be a smooth curve and $N_C$ its normal bundle. $N_C$ satisfies strong interpolation if for all integers $s>0$ and $\lambda _i\in \{0,1,\dots ,n-1\}$, $1\le i \le s$, there are distinct points $P_1,\dots ,P_s\in…

Let (C, p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_n) be a general marked curve of genus g, and q_1, q_2, ..., q_n \in P^r be a general collection of points. We determine when there exists a nondegenerate degree d map f : C \to P^r so that f(p_i) = q_i for all i.…

This is an expanded version of the two papers "Interpolation of Varieties of Minimal Degree" and "Interpolation Problems: Del Pezzo Surfaces." It is well known that one can find a rational normal curve in $\mathbb P^n$ through $n+3$ general…

Given n general points p_1, p_2,..., p_n in P^r, it is natural to ask when there exists a curve C \subset P^r, of degree d and genus g, passing through p_1, p_2,..., p_n. In this paper, we give a complete answer to this question for curves…

Given n general points p_1, p_2,..., p_n \in P^r, it is natural to ask whether there is a curve of given degree d and genus g passing through them; by counting dimensions a natural conjecture is that such a curve exists if and only if \[n…

We observe that if we are interested primarily in degeneration arguments, there is a weaker notion of (semi)stability for vector bundles on reducible curves, which is sufficient for many applications, and does not depend on a choice of…

We study different notions of slope of a vector bundle over a smooth projective curve with respect to ampleness and affineness in order to apply this to tight closure problems. This method gives new degree estimates from above and from…

It is well known that one can find a rational normal curve in $\mathbb P^n$ through $n+3$ general points. We prove a generalization of this to higher dimensional varieties, showing that smooth varieties of minimal degree can be interpolated…

Given a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve of genus 1 defined over the field of real numbers, and a pair of integers r and d, we determine the isomorphism class of the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank r and…

We show that on a generic curve, a bundle obtained by successive extensions is stable. We compute the dimension of the set of such extensions. We use degeneration methods specializing the curve to a chain of elliptic components

A graph $G$ is $d$-degenerate if every non-null subgraph of $G$ has a vertex of degree at most $d$. We prove that every $n$-vertex planar graph has a $3$-degenerate induced subgraph of order at least $3n/4$.

A classical fact is that through any $d+3$ general points in $\mathbb{P}_\mathbb{C}^d$ there exists a unique rational normal curve of degree $d$ passing through them. We generalize this by proving the following: when $n$ is odd, for any…

On a general hypersurface of degree $d\leq n$ in $\mathbb P^n$ or $\mathbb P^n$ itself, we prove the existence of curves of any genus and high enough degree depending on the genus passing through the expected number $t$ of general points or…

Let $D$ be a very general curve of degree $d=2\ell-\epsilon$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$, with $\epsilon\in \{0,1\}$. Let $\Gamma \subset \mathbb{P}^2$ be an integral curve of geometric genus $g$ and degree $m$, $\Gamma \neq D$, and let $\nu: C\to…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle of rank $r\geq 2$ on a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g \geq 2$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic. For any integer with $1\le k\le r-1$ we define $${\se}_k(E):=k\deg…

We investigate the modular properties of nodal curves on a low genus K3 surface. We prove that a general genus g curve C is the normalization of a d-nodal curve X sitting on a primitively polarized K3 surface S of degree 2p-2, for p any…

We study ample stable vector bundles on minimal rational surfaces. We give a complete classification of those moduli spaces for which the general stable bundle is both ample and globally generated. We also prove that if $V$ is any stable…

The moduli space of slope-stable vector bundles on a normal projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$ is stratified with respect to the decomposition type. On a smooth projective curve of genus at…

We study the problem of $d$-gonality of the modular curve $X_0(N)$. As a result, we can give an upperbound of the level $N$ by means of $d$. This generalizes Ogg's result on hyperelliptic modular curves ($d = 2$). As a corollary of this…

A degree $d$ genus $g$ cover of the complex projective line by a smooth irreducible curve $C$ yields a vector bundle on the projective line by pushforward of the structure sheaf. We classify the bundles that arise this way when $d = 6$.…
