We adopt a statistical point of view on the conjecture of Lang which predicts a lower bound for the canonical height of non-torsion rational points on elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. More specifically, we prove that among the…

We prove that the kernel of the evaluation morphism of global sections - namely the syzygy bundle - of a sufficiently ample line bundle on an abelian variety is stable. This settles a conjecture of Ein-Lazarsfeld-Mustopa, in the case of…

We prove by degeneration to Prym-canonical binary curves that the first Gaussian map of the Prym canonical line bundle $\omega_C \otimes A$ is surjective for the general point [C,A] of R_g if g >11, while it is injective if g < 12.

We prove a conjecture by F. Ferrari. Let X be the total space of a nonlinear deformation of a rank 2 holomorphic vector bundle on a smooth rational curve, such that X has trivial canonical bundle and has sections. Then the normal bundle to…

Recently L. Nicolaescu and the author formulated a conjecture which relates the geometric genus of a complex analytic normal surface singularity (whose link $M$ is a rational homology sphere) with the Seiberg-Witten invariant of $M$…

We show that the secant variety of a linearly normal smooth curve of degree at least 2g+3 is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay, and we use this information to study the graded Betti numbers of the secant variety.

We investigate Koszul cohomology on irreducible nodal curves. In particular, we prove both Green and Green-Lazarsfeld conjectures for the general k-gonal nodal curve.

We study linear series on a general curve of genus g, whose images are exceptional with respect to their secant planes. Each such exceptional secant plane is algebraically encoded by an included linear series, whose number of base points…

A widely believed conjecture predicts that curves of bounded geometric genus lying on a variety of general type form a bounded family. One may even ask whether the canonical degree of a curve $C$ in a variety of general type is bounded from…

A proof of Petri's general conjecture on the unobstructedness of linear systems on a general curve is proposed, using only the local properties of the deformation space of the pair (curve, line bundle).

For X a compact Riemann surface of positive genus, the strange duality conjecture predicts that the space of sections of certain theta bundle on moduli of bundles of rank r and level k is naturally dual to a similar space of sections of…

We prove new results on projective normality, normal presentation and higher syzygies for a surface of general type $X$ embedded by adjoint line bundles $L_r = K + rB$, where $B$ is a base point free, ample line bundle. Our main results…

Beauville and Laszlo give an interpretation of the affine Grassmannian for Gl_n over a field k as a moduli space of, loosely speaking, vector bundles over a projective curve together with a trivialization over the complement of a fixed…

We show that if C is a linearly normal smooth curve embedded by a line bundle of degree at least 2g+3+p then the secant variety to the curve satisfies N_{3,p}.

Let C be an algebraic curve of genus g. Let E be a vector bundle of rank n and degree d. Consider among all subbundles F' of E of rank n' those of maximal degree d'. Then s_n'(E)= n'd-nd'\le n'(n-n')g. If E is stable s_n'(E)>0 while if E is…

We propose a natural generalization of a conjecture by Garsia, originally concerning the realization of conformal classes of genus-1 surfaces via embeddings in three-dimensional Euclidean space. This generalized conjecture is formulated…

The Zilber-Pink conjecture predicts that an algebraic curve in $\mathcal{A}_2$ has only finitely many intersections with the special curves, unless it is contained in a proper special subvariety. Under a large Galois orbits hypothesis, we…

This paper reproves a general form of the Green-Lazarsfeld 'generic vanishing' theorem and more recent strengthenings, as well as giving some new applications.

We observe what the canonical bundle formula gives towards a conjecture of Schnell on algebraic fiber spaces, a question concerning the equivalence between the non-vanishing conjecture and the Campana--Peternell conjecture. As a result, we…

We discuss a conjecture made by Alexander Polishchuk and David Kazhdan at the 2022 ICM about a variety naturally attached to any stable vector bundle of rank 2 and degree $2g- 1$ on a smooth projective complex curve of genus $g$.
