Let X be a smooth, complete, geometrically connected curve over a field of characteristic p. The geometric Langlands conjecture states that to each irreducible rank n local system E on X one can attach a perverse sheaf on the moduli stack…

The Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture stipulates that for every projective variety X of general type over C, there exists a proper algebraic subvariety of X containing all non constant entire curves f : C $\rightarrow$ X. Using the formalism…

We extend the theory of Koszul modules to the bi-graded case, and prove a vanishing theorem that allows us to show that the Canonical Ribbon Conjecture of Bayer and Eisenbud holds over a field of characteristic zero or at least equal to the…

In a remark to Green's conjecture, Paranjape and Ramanan analyzed the vector bundle $E$ which is the pullback by the canonical map of the universal quotient bundle $T_{\Pp^{g-1}}(-1)$ on $\Pp^{g-1}$ and stated a more general conjecture and…

We exhibit approximately fifty Betti diagrams of free resolutions of rings of smooth, connected canonical curves of genera $9$-$14$ in prime characteristics between $2$ and $11$. Generic Green's conjecture is verified for genera $9$ and…

We give simple geometric proofs of Aprodu-Farkas-Papadima-Raicu-Weyman's theorem on syzygies of tangent developable surfaces of rational normal curves and Raicu-Sam's result on syzygies of K3 carpets. As a consequence, we obtain a quick…

For a finite dimensional vector space G we define the k-th generic syzygy scheme Gensyz_k(G) by explicit equations. We show that the syzygy scheme Syz(f) of any syzygy in the linear strand of a projective variety X which is cut out by…

The Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture says that for every complex projective algebraic variety $X$ of general type there exists a proper algebraic subvariety of $X$ containing all nonconstant entire holomorphic curves $f:\mathbb{C} \to X$. We…

We show the geometric syzygy conjecture in positive characteristic. Specifically, if C is a general smooth curve of genus g defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, then all linear syzygy spaces are spanned by…

We prove some general results on syzygies of smooth projective varieties with numerically trivial canonical line bundle. This allows to confirm several cases of Mukai's syzygies conjecture for finite quotients of abelian varieties in any…

A conic bundle is a contraction $X\to Z$ between normal varieties of relative dimension $1$ such that $-K_X$ is relatively ample. We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which predicts that, if $X\to Z$ is a conic bundle such that $X$ has…

We study the syzygies of the canonical embedding of a ribbon $\widetilde{C}$ on a curve $C$ of genus $g \geq 1$. We show that the linear series Clifford index and the resolution Clifford index are equal for a general ribbon of arithmetic…

We prove the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for complex surface singularities with $p_g - g - b \le 2$. Here $p_g$ is the geometric genus, $g$ is the sum of the genera of the exceptional curves and $b$ is the first Betti number of the dual…

A line bundle L on a smooth curve X is nonspecial if and only if L admits a presentation L=K_X -D +E for some effective divisors D and E>0 on X with gcd (D, E)=0 and h^0 (X, O_X (D))=1. In this work, we define a minimal presentation of L…

We formulate a tropical analogue of Grothendieck's section conjecture: that for every stable graph G of genus g>2, and every field k, the generic curve with reduction type G over k satisfies the section conjecture. We prove many cases of…

Inspired by the methods of Voisin, the first two authors recently proved that one could read off the gonality of a curve C from the syzygies of its ideal in any one embedding of sufficiently large degree. This was deduced from from a…

We prove the $P=W$ conjecture for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ for all ranks $n$ and curves of arbitrary genus $g\geq 2$. The proof combines a strong perversity result on tautological classes with the curious Hard Lefschetz theorem of Mellit. For the…

In the first part of this paper we prove a vanishing criterion for higher direct images of projective families of line bundles on a Cohen-Macaulay variety X. The result involves certain first-order deformations of certain curves on X, and…

We use the Brill-Noether theory to prove the Green conjecture for exceptional curves on K3 surfaces. Such curves count among the few ones having Clifford dimension at least three. We obtain our result by adopting an infinitesimal approach…

In the present paper we construct quadratic equations and linear syzygies for tangent varieties using 4-way tensors of linear forms and generalize this method to higher secant varieties of higher osculating varieties. Such equations extend…
