We show that a pseudoeffective R-divisor has numerical dimension 0 if it is numerically trivial on a subvariety with ample normal bundle. This implies that the cycle class of a curve with ample normal bundle is big, giving an affirmative…

We consider all complex projective manifolds X that satisfy at least one of the following three conditions: 1. There exists a pair $(C ,\varphi)$, where $C$ is a compact connected Riemann surface and $\varphi : C\to X$ a holomorphic map,…

We study the normal map for plane projective curves, i.e., the map associating to every regular point of the curve the normal line at the point in the dual space. We first observe that the normal map is always birational and then we use…

We generalize Zak's theorems on tangencies and on linear normality as well as Zak's definition and classification of Severi varieties. In particular we find sharp lower bounds for the dimension of higher secant varieties of a given variety…

We study the following question: Given a vector bundle on a projective variety $X$ such that the restriction of $E$ to every closed curve $C \,\subset\, X$ is ample, under what conditions $E$ is ample? We first consider the case of an…

The Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture is a generalization of Green's Conjecture on syzygies of canonical curves to the cases of arbitrary line bundles. We establish the Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture for curves of genus g in all the…

Let X be a standard determinantal scheme X \subset \PP^n of codimension c, i.e. a scheme defined by the maximal minors of a t \times (t+c-1) homogeneous polynomial matrix A. In this paper, we study the main features of its normal sheaf…

In this work we prove on a given smooth toric threefold all but finitely many ample line bundles are projectively normal.

We reduce the problem of the projective normality of polarized abelian varieties to check the rank of very explicit matrices. This allow us to prove some results on normal generation of primitive line bundles on abelian threefolds and…

We show that the locally free sheaf of locally exact differentials on a smooth projective curve of genus at least two over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p is a stable vector bundle. This answers a question of Raynaud.

In this paper, we show that if the tangent bundle of a smooth projective variety is strictly nef, then it is isomorphic to a projective space; if a projective variety $X^n$ $(n>4)$ has strictly nef $\Lambda^2 TX$, then it is isomorphic to…

We prove that the kernel bundle of the evaluation morphism of global sections, namely the syzygy bundle, of a sufficiently ample line bundle on a smooth projective variety is slope stable with respect to any polarization. This settles a…

We give a combinatorial criterion for the tangent bundle on a smooth toric variety to be stable with respect to a given polarisation in terms of the corresponding lattice polytope. Furthermore, we show that for a smooth toric surface and a…

Let $X$ be a projective variety with log terminal singularities and vanishing augmented irregularity. In this paper we prove that if $X$ admits a relatively minimal genus one fibration then it does contain a subvariety of codimension one…

We give a new method of computation of the degree of the third secant variety of a smooth curve C in P^(d-2) of genus 2 and degree d>=8, using the presentation of the third secant variety as the union of all scrolls that are defined via a…

We give some results on quadratic normality of reducible curves canonically embedded and partially extend this study to their projective normality.

We introduce vector bundle techniques for finding equations of secant varieties. A test is established that determines when a secant variety is an irreducible component of the zero set of the equations found. We also prove an induction…

A new genus $g=g(X,\ce)$ is defined for the pairs $(X,\ce)$ that consist of $n$-dimensional compact complex manifolds $X$ and ample vector bundles $\ce$ of rank $r$ less than $n$ on $X$. In case $r=n-1$, $g$ is equal to curve genus. Above…

In this paper, we prove that a smooth projective globally $F$-split variety with numerically flat tangent bundle is an \'etale quotient of an ordinary abelian variety. We also show its logarithmic analog, which contains a characterization…

Fix a smooth projetive curve $\mathcal {C}$ of genus $g\geq 2$ and a line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ on $\mathcal{C}$ of degree $d$. Let $M:= \mathcal{SU}_{\mathcal{C}}(r, \mathcal{L})$ be the moduli space of stable vector bundles on…
