Combinatorial ideas are developed in this article to study Chern numbers on ample and numerically effective vector bundles. An effective lower bound for Chern numbers of ample vector bundles is established, which makes some progress towards…

We present two formulas for Chern classes of the tensor product of two vector bundles. In the first formula we consider a matrix containing Chern classes of the first bundle and we take a polynomial of this matrix with Chern classes of the…

Representations of certain vertex algebras, here called of CohFT-type, can be used to construct vector bundles of coinvariants and conformal blocks on moduli spaces of stable curves [DGT2]. We show that such bundles define semisimple…

Let $X$ be a complex manifold, $(E,h)\to X$ be a rank $r$ holomorphic hermitian vector bundle, and $\rho$ be a sequence of dimensions $0 = \rho_0 < \rho_1 < \cdots < \rho_m = r$. Let $Q_{\rho,j}$, $j=1,\dots,m$, be the tautological line…

In this paper, we prove the positivity of the double mixed discriminant associated with a positive linear map between spaces of third-order complex matrices, thereby settling the three-dimensional case of Finski's open problem. As an…

We give a construction of the second Chern number of a vector bundle over a smooth projective surface by means of adelic transition matrices for the vector bundle. The construction does not use an algebraic $K$-theory and depends on the…

We consider the moduli space of flat $SO(2n+1)$-connections (up to gauge transformations) on a Riemann surface, with fixed holonomy around a marked point. There are natural line bundles over this moduli space; we construct geometric…

We study the ring generated by the Chern classes of tautological line bundles on the moduli space of parabolic bundles of arbitrary rank on a Riemann surface. We show the Poincar\'e duals to these Chern classes have simple geometric…

In this paper we study fractional as well as semi-local Chern-Simons vortices in G = U(1) x SO(2M) and G = U(1) x USp(2M) theories. The master equations are solved numerically using appropriate Ansatze for the moduli matrix field. In the…

We define integral geometric analogues of the Chern classes for real vector bundle on a smooth real variety. More precisely, we define the Chern densities of a real bundle. These densities are analogues of the Chern forms of a complex…

We study projectively flat holomorphic vector bundles over Riemann surfaces. To each such bundle, we naturally assign a Wronskian line bundle. The main idea is a notion of the division of two meromorphic sections. Abel's identity is…

We consider the Chern-Simons gauge theory of rank $2$ such as $SU(3)$, $SO(5)$, and $G_2$ Chern-Simons model in $\mathbb{R}^2$. There may exist three types of solutions in these theories, that is, topological, nontopological, and mixed type…
