We study stable rationality of conic bundles $X$ over $\mathbb{P}^1$ defined over non-closed field $k$ via the cohomology of the Galois group of finite field extension $k'/k$ with action on the geometric Picard lattice of $X$.
The moduli space of parabolic bundles with fixed determinant over a smooth curve of genus greater than one is proved to be rational whenever one of the multiplicities associated to the quasi-parabolic structure is equal to one. It follows…
We survey some results on real rational surfaces focused on their topology and their birational geometry.
The aim of this paper is to present two different constructions of smooth rational surfaces in projective fourspace with degree 12 and sectional genus 13. In particular, we establish the existences of five different families of smooth…
We study rationality properties of real singular cubic threefolds.
In this paper, it is proved that certain stable rank-3 vector bundles can be written as extensions of line bundles and stable rank-2 bundles. As an application, we show the rationality of certain moduli spaces of stable rank-3 bundles over…
In this article, we introduce the notion of periodic de Rham bundles over smooth complex curves. We prove that motivic de Rham bundles over smooth complex curves are periodic. We conjecture that irreducible periodic de Rham bundles over…
This is a survey of the geometry of complex cubic fourfolds with a view toward rationality questions. Topics include classical constructions of rational examples, Hodge structures and special cubic fourfolds, associated K3 surfaces and…
We study the moduli space of stable sheaves of Euler characteristic 1 supported on curves of bidegree (3, 3) contained in a smooth quadric surface. We show that this moduli space is rational. We compute its Betti numbers by studying the…
We isolate a class of smooth rational cubic fourfolds X containing a plane whose associated quadric surface bundle does not have a rational section. This is equivalent to the nontriviality of the Brauer class of the even Clifford algebra…
We classify $G$-solid rational surfaces over the field of complex numbers.
We develop an intersection theory for a singular hemitian line bundle with positive curvature current on a smooth projective variety and irreducible curves on the variety. And we prove the existence of a natural rational fibration structure…
We study ACM bundles on cubic fourfolds containing a plane exploiting the geometry of the associated quadric fibration and Kuznetsov's treatment of their bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves. More precisely, we recover the K3…
We present a pair of smooth fiber bundles over the circle with a common $4$-dimensional fiber with the following properties: (1) their total spaces are diffeomorphic to each other; (2) they are isomorphic to each other as topological fiber…
We show that the generic fiber of a family of smooth $\mathbb{A}^{1}$-ruled affine surfaces always carries an $\mathbb{A}^{1}$-fibration, possibly after a finite extension of the base. In the particular case where the general fibers of the…
We propose and compare various techiques available to produce smooth cubic hypersurfaces over a non-algebraically-closed field which have rational points but which are not stably rational over their ground field.
PhD dissertation consists in three lines of investigation involving rational elliptic surfaces, namely 1) a study of conic bundles on these surfaces; 2) an investigation of the possible intersection numbers of two sections and 3) a theorem…
We introduce and study a notion of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity suitable for rational normal scroll surfaces. In this setting we prove analogs of some classical properties. We prove splitting criteria for coherent sheaves and a…
We define reflexive sheaves on a singular quadric Q that generalize the spinor bundles on smooth quadrics, using matrix factorizations of the equation of Q. We study the first properties of these spinor sheaves, give a Horrocks-type…
We consider quadric surface fibrations over curves, defined over algebraically closed and finite fields. Our goal is to understand, in geometric terms, spaces of sections for such fibrations. We analyze varieties of maximal isotropic…
