Let E be a generic vector bundle of rank r and degree d on a generic curve of genus g. If r'd-rd'=r'(r-r')(g-1), the number of subbundles E' of E of rank r' and degree d' is finite. We present a new method to compute the number of such E'…

Let $\Cal E$ be a very ample vector bundle of rank two on a smooth complex projective threefold $X$. An inequality about the third Segre class of $\Cal E$ is provided when $K_X+\det \Cal E$ is nef but not big, and when a suitable positive…

The degree of the Grassmannian with respect to the Pl\"ucker embedding is well-known. However, the Pl\"ucker embedding, while ubiquitous in pure mathematics, is almost never used in applied mathematics. In applied mathematics, the…

Let X be a smooth complex projective curve of genus g bigger or equal to 1. If g is bigger than 1 assume further that X is either bielliptic or with general moduli. Under a natural condition on slopes, we prove that there exists a short…

In this paper, I generalize the formula that the integration of Chern forms of hermitian line bundles equals the algebraic intersection number of the underlying line bundles. I generalize it to a formula on a quasi-projective variety over a…

If E is a C^\infty complex vector bundle on an oriented C^\infty manifold \Sigma, diffeomorphic to a circle, then the space of sections of E has a canonical polarization in the sense of Pressley and Segal and so one has its determinantal…

Let $K$ be a number field, $\UX$ be a smooth projective curve over it and $D$ be a reduced divisor on $\UX$. Let $(E,\nabla)$ be a fibre bundle with connection having meromorphic poles on $D$. Let $p_1,...,p_s\in\UX(K)$ and…

We give a short proof of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for a real oriented Riemannian vector bundle $E$ of even rank over a closed compact orientable manifold $M$. This theorem reduces to the classical Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem in the special…

In this paper we study smooth complex projective varieties $X$ containing a Grassmannian of lines $G(1,r)$ which appears as the zero locus of a section of a rank two nef vector bundle $E$. Among other things we prove that the bundle $E$…

Let $X = \bigcup_k X_k$ be the ind-Grassmannian of codimension $n$ subspaces of an infinite-dimensional torus representation. If $\cE$ is a bundle on $X$, we expect that $\sum_j (-1)^j \Lambda^j(\cE)$ represents the $K$-theoretic…

The goal of this paper is to construct universal cohomology classes on the moduli space of stable bundles over a curve when it is not a fine moduli space, i.e. when the rank and degree are not coprime. More precisely, we show that certain…

A degree $d$ genus $g$ cover of the complex projective line by a smooth curve $C$ yields a vector bundle on the projective line by pushforward of the structure sheaf. Which bundles are possible? Equivalently, which…
