We prove that a vector bundle $E$ over a smooth complex projective variety $M$ is \'etale trivial if and only if $E$ is semiample and $c_1(E) \in H^2(M, {\mathbb Q})$ vanishes. Also, a vector bundle $E$ over a smooth complex projective…

We consider various generalisations of the string class of a loop group bundle. The string class is the obstruction to lifting a bundle whose structure group is the loop group $LG$ to one whose structure group is the Kac-Moody central…

Let E be an elementary abelian p-group of rank r and let k be a field of characteristic p. We introduce functors F_i from finitely generated kE-modules of constant Jordan type to vector bundles over projective space of dimension r-1. The…

Let P be a parabolic subgroup of a semisimple complex Lie group G defined by a subset \Sigma of simple roots of G, and let E_\phi be a homogeneous vector bundle over the flag manifold G/P corresponding to a linear representation \phi of P.…

In this paper we characterize the rank two vector bundles on $\mathbb{P}^2$ which are invariant under the actions of the parabolic subgroups $G_p:=\mathrm{Stab}_p(\mathrm{PGL}(3))$ fixing a point in the projective plane,…

Hartshorne in "Ample vector bundles" proved that $E$ is ample if and only if $\OOO_{P(E)}(1)$ is ample. Here we generalize this result to flag manifolds associated to a vector bundle $E$ on a complex manifold $X$: For a partition $a$ we…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective hypersurface of dimension $\geq 5$ and let $E$ be an arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay bundle on $X$ of any rank. We prove that $E$ splits as a direct sum of line bundles if and only if $H^i_*(X, \wedge^2 E) = 0$…

We generalize Bertram's work on rank two vector bundles to an irreducible projective nodal curve C. We use extensions of a line bundle L by O_C and the associated `forgetful' map to study a compactification of the moduli space of…

Let (S,H) be a polarized K3 surface, $E$ be a coherent sheaf on S and W be a linear subspace in the space of global sections H^0(S,E). If we are lucky, there is an exact sequence 0 -> W tensor O -> E -> E' -> 0, which gives a correspondence…

Let G/P be a rational homogeneous variety, where P is a parabolic subgroup of a simple and simply connected linear algebraic group G defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. A homogeneous principal bundle over G/P…

Let $X$ be a K3 surface with Picard group $\mathrm{Pic}(X)\cong\mathbb{Z} H$ such that $H^2=2n$. Let $M_{H}(\mathbf{v})$ be the moduli space of Gieseker semistable sheaves on $X$ with Mukai vector $\mathbf{v}$. We say that $\mathbf{v}$…

v2: A few typos corrected, a few formulations improved. On $X$ projective smooth over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, we show that irreducible stratified bundles have rank 1 if and only if the commutator $[\pi_1^{{\rm…

It is a longstanding problem in Algebraic Geometry to determine whether the syzygy bundle $E_{d_1,..., d_n}$ on $\PP^N$ defined as the kernel of a general epimorphism $\xymatrix{\phi:\cO(-d_1)\oplus...\oplus\cO(-d_n)\ar[r] &\cO}$ is…

For any vector bundle, we define an inverse system of spectra. In the case of a trivial bundle over a point, the homotopy groups of the filtration quotients give rise to the stable EHP spectral sequence, as was shown by Mahowald. The limit…

Let A be a complex abelian variety. The moduli space ${\mathcal M}_C$ of rank one algebraic connections on $A$ is a principal bundle over the dual abelian variety $A^\vee=\text{Pic}^0(A)$ for the group $H^0(A, \Omega^1_A)$. Take any line…

Let $X$ be the wonderful compactification of a complex symmetric space $G/H$ of minimal rank. For a point $x\,\in\, G$, denote by $Z$ be the closure of $BxH/H$ in $X$, where $B$ is a Borel subgroup of $G$. The universal cover of $G$ is…

In the paper I introduce a new characteristic class $c(E)$ for a finite rank vector bundle $E$ on an affine scheme $S:=Spec(A)$ - the fundamental class of $E$. The class $c(E)$ is not a characteristic class in the classical sense in the…

We study the gonality of curves $C$ over $\mathbb C$ whose normalization is composed of one or two copies of $\mathbb P^1$. In the first case, $C$ is a nodal curve with $g(C)$ nodes, and in the second case $C$ is a so-called binary curve.…

Let $f\colon S\to B$ be a non-isotrivial fibred surface. We prove that the genus $g$, the rank $u_f$ of the unitary summand of the Hodge bundle $f_*\omega_f$ and the Clifford index $c_f$ satisfy the inequality $u_f \leq g - c_f$. Moreover,…

In this article we study the Gieseker-Maruyama moduli spaces $\mathcal{B}(e,n)$ of stable rank 2 algebraic vector bundles with Chern classes $c_1=e\in\{-1,0\},\ c_2=n\ge1$ on the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$. We construct two new…
