We study the moduli space of stable sheaves of Euler characteristic 1 supported on curves of arithmetic genus 3 contained in a smooth quadric surface. We show that this moduli space is rational. We compute its Betti numbers by studying the…

We study vector bundles on the moduli stack of elliptic curves over a local ring R. If R is a field or a discrete valuation ring of (residue) characteristic not 2 or 3, all these vector bundles are sums of line bundles. For R the 3-local…

Let X be a smooth complex irreducible projective variety of dimension $n \geq 2$ and $H$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. In this paper, we construct families of $\mu_H$-stable vector bundles on $X$ having fixed determinant and rank $r$,…

Let $X$ be a non-singular projective curve of genus $g\ge2$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $\mo$ denote the moduli space of stable bundles of rank $n$ and degree $d$ on $X$ and $\wn $ the Brill-Noether loci…

Motivated by several recent results on the geometry of the moduli spaces $\bar{\Cal M}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points, here we determine their birational structure for small values of $g$ and $n$ by exploiting…

We give a complete classification of equivariant vector bundles of rank two over smooth complete toric surfaces and construct moduli spaces of such bundles. This note is a direct continuation of an earlier note where we developed a general…

We study the cohomology of a general stable sheaf on an abelian surface. We say that a moduli space satisfies weak Brill-Noether if the general sheaf has at most one non-zero cohomology group. Let $(X,H)$ be a polarized abelian surface and…

We describe the moduli space G^r_d of triples consisting of a curve C, a line bundle L on C of degree d, and a linear system V on L of dimension r. This moduli space extends over a partial compactification {\tilde M_g} of M_g inside {\bar…

We show that the classic Verlinde numbers on the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective curve can also be regarded as Segre numbers of natural universal complexes over the moduli space.

We analyze the local structure of the moduli space of semi-stable bundles on a curve. In particular, a complete description of the local structure is given in the rank 2 case. We obtain as a corollary of this analysis new results about the…

This is a note in which we first review symmetries of moduli spaces of stable meromorphic connections on trivial vector bundles over the Riemann sphere, and next discuss symmetries of their integrable deformations as an application. In the…

We use hypersurfaces containing unexpected linear spaces to construct interesting vector bundles on complete intersection surfaces in projective space. We discover examples of moduli spaces of rank 2 stable bundles on surfaces of Picard…

Let SU_X(3) be the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank 3 and trivial determinant on a curve X of genus 2. It maps onto P^8 and the map is a double cover branched over a sextic hypersurface called the Coble sextic. In the dual…

In this short note, we show that any rational curve passing through the generic point in a moduli space of stable bundles with rank $r$ and fixed determinant on a smooth projective curve of genus $g\ge 4$ has degree (with respect to the…

We construct a compactification M_d of the moduli space of plane curves of degree d. We regard a plane curve C as a surface-divisor pair (P^2,C) and define M_d as a moduli space of pairs (X,D) where X is a degeneration of the plane. We show…
