For a class of monadic deformations of the tangent bundles over nef-Fano smooth projective toric varieties, we study the correlators using quantum sheaf cohomology. We prove a summation formula for the correlators, confirming a conjecture…

We show that a compact Kahler manifold with nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature has nef canonical bundle. If the holomorphic sectional curvature is negative then it follows that the canonical bundle is ample, confirming a conjecture…

We describe the structure of regular codimension $1$ foliations with numerically projectively flat tangent bundle on complex projective manifolds of dimension at least $4$. Along the way, we prove that either the normal bundle of a regular…

A simple algebraic characterization of the Fano manifolds in the class of homogeneous toric bundles over a flag manifold $G^C/P$ is provided in terms of symplectic data.

We show that the complex projective space has maximal degree (volume) among all n-dimensional Kahler-Einstein Fano manifolds admitting a holomorphic C^*-action with a finite number of fixed points. The toric version of this result,…

In this paper we study the positivity of the cotangent bundle of projective manifolds. We conjecture that the cotangent bundle is pseudoeffective if and only the manifold has non-zero symmetric differentials. We confirm this conjecture for…

We show that a strong version of the geometric Merkurjev-Panin conjecture holds for the Cox category of a projective toric variety. That is, we prove that the full strong exceptional collection of Bondal-Thomsen line bundles is invariant…

We consider a smooth projective morphism between smooth complex projective varieties. If the source space is a weak Fano (or Fano) manifold, then so is the target space. Our proof is Hodge theoretic. We do not need mod $p$ reduction…

On a projective surface it is well-known that the set of curves orthogonal to a nef line bundle is either finite or uncountable. We show that this dichotomy fails in higher dimension by constructing a nef line bundle on a threefold which is…

Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a surjective morphism of Fano manifolds of Picard number 1 whose VMRTs at a general point are not dual defective. Suppose that the tangent bundle $T_X$ is big. We show that $f$ is an isomorphism unless $Y$ is a…

For a Fano manifold of pseudo-index at least 3 and $c_1^2-2c_2$ nef, we show irreducibility of certain spaces of curves on the Fano manifold implies the manifold is a union of rational surfaces.

In this paper, we prove the ampleness conjecture and Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on K-trivial fourfolds. Specifically, we show that any strictly nef divisors on projective fourfolds with trivial canonical bundle and…

In an unpublished preprint, A. King conjectured that there are tilting bundles over projective varieties which are obtained as invariant quotients of affine spaces for linear actions of reductive groups. The goal of this paper is to give…

This paper generalises Mori's famous theorem about "Projective manifolds with ample tangent bundles" to normal projective varieties in the following way: A normal projective variety over $\mathbb{C}$ with ample tangent sheaf is isomorphic…

Let $M$ be a smooth Fano threefold such that a canonical extension of the tangent bundle is an affine manifold. We show that $M$ is rational homogeneous.

We construct full strong exceptional collections of line bundles on smooth toric Fano Deligne-Mumford stacks of Picard number at most two and of any Picard number in dimension two. It is hoped that the approach of this paper will eventually…

We exhibit full exceptional collections of vector bundles on any smooth, Fano arithmetic toric variety whose split fan is centrally symmetric.

We prove that the tangent bundle of a generic space of planar n-gons with specified side lengths, identified under isometry, plus a trivial line bundle is isomorphic to (n-2) times a canonical line bundle. We then discuss consequences for…

We give a simple combinatorial proof of the toric version of Mori's theorem that the only $n$-dimensional smooth projective varieties with ample tangent bundle are the projective spaces $\mathbb{P}^n$.

We characterize building sets whose associated nonsingular projective toric varieties are Fano. Furthermore, we show that all such toric Fano varieties are obtained from smooth Fano polytopes associated to finite directed graphs.
