Let $f \colon X \to A$ be a morphism from a smooth projective variety to an abelian variety (over the field of complex numbers). We show that the sheaves $f_* \omega_X^{\otimes m}$ become globally generated after pullback by an isogeny. We…
We give the classification of globally generated vector bundles of rank $2$ on a smooth quadric surface with $c_1\le (2,2)$ in terms of the indices of the bundles, and extend the result to arbitrary higher rank case. We also investigate…
We study generalized splines from the perspective of the representation theory of the category of graphs with contractions. Our main theorem proves a kind of finite generation, which in turn implies the existence of a ``universal generating…
We obtain a sharp bound on the degree of a globally generated vector bundle over a reduced irreducible projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. As an application, we obtain a Del Pezzo-Bertini…

We construct the algebraic cobordism theory of bundles and divisors on smooth varieties. It has a simple basis (over Q) from projective spaces and its rank is equal to the number of Chern invariants. As an application we study the number of…
Let $L$ be a (semi)-positive line bundle over a Kahler manifold, $X$, fibered over a complex manifold $Y$. Assuming the fibers are compact and non-singular we prove that the hermitian vector bundle $E$ over $Y$ whose fibers over points $y$…
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…
Let $X$ be a projective manifold of dimension $n$ and $L$ a strictly nef line bundle on $X$. Then $K_X+tL$ is ample if $t > n+1$ in the following cases. 1.) $\text{dim} X = 3$ unless (possibly) $X$ is a Calabi-Yau with $c_2 \cdot L=0$; 2.)…
The Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture stipulates that for every projective variety $X$ of general type over ${\mathbb C}$, there exists a proper algebraic subvariety of $X$ containing all non constant entire curves $f:{\mathbb C}\to X$. Using…
The cotangent bundle of a non-uniruled projective manifold is generically nef, due to a theorem of Miyaoka. We show that the cotangent bundle is actually generically ample, if the manifold is of general type and study in detail the case of…
Let $E$ be an ample vector bundle of rank $r$ on a projective variety $X$ with only log-terminal singularities. We consider the nefness of adjoint divisors $K_X+(t-r)det(E)$ when $t>=dim(X)$ and $t>r$. As a corollary, we classify pairs…
Let M be a Q-divisor on a smooth surface over C. In this paper we give criteria for very ampleness of the adjoint of the round-up of M. (Similar results for global generation were given by Ein and Lazarsfeld and used in their proof of…
An algebraic variety X is embedded to the order k via a line bundle L if the global sections of L generate all (simultaneous) jets of order k on X or if they separate all zero-dimensional subschemes of length at most k+1. Even though we…
Let $L$ be a very ample line bundle on a smooth curve $C$ of genus $g$ with $\frac{3g+3}{2}<\deg L\le 2g-5$. Then $L$ is normally generated if $\deg L>\max\{2g+2-4h^1(C,L), 2g-\frac{g-1}{6}-2h^1(C,L)\}$. Let $C$ be a triple covering of…
We study projective manifolds with nonamenable and non-residually finite fundamental groups. We generalize the uniformization theorem of our earlier note. We generalize a classical theorem of Maltsev about finitely generated subgroups of…
We show that if an ample line bundle L on a nonsingular toric 3-fold satisfies h^0(L+2K)=0, then L is normally generated. As an application, we show that the anti-canonical divisor on a nonsingular toric Fano 4-fold is normally generated.
Let $X$ be a normal complex projective variety, $T\subseteq X$ a subvariety, $a\colon X\rightarrow A$ a morphism to an abelian variety such that $\rm{Pic}^0(A)$ injects into $\rm{Pic}^0(T)$ and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$. Denote by…
We study integral points on varieties with infinite \'etale fundamental groups. More precisely, for a number field $F$ and $X/F$ a smooth projective variety, we prove that for any geometrically Galois cover $\varphi\colon Y \to X$ of degree…
Any line bundle $\cl $ on a smooth curve $C$ of genus $g$ with $\deg \cl \ge 2g+1$ is normally generated, i.e., $\varphi_\cl (C)\subseteq \mathbb P H^0 (C,\cl)$ is projectively normal. However, it has known that more various line bundles of…
