We prove that for a sufficiently ample line bundle $L$ on a surface $S$, the number of $\delta$-nodal curves in a general $\delta$-dimensional linear system is given by a universal polynomial of degree $\delta$ in the four numbers…

Let F be a polarized irreducible holomorphic symplectic fourfold, deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme parametrizing length-two zero-dimensional subschemes of a K3 surface. The homology group H^2(F,Z) is equipped with an integral…

We prove a motivic version of the Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for a smooth ample divisor $\Theta$ on an Abelian variety. We use this to construct a motive $P$ that realizes the primitive cohomology of $\Theta$.

Let $\alpha: X \to Y$ be a finite cover of smooth curves. Beauville conjectured that the pushforward of a general vector bundle under $\alpha$ is semistable if the genus of $Y$ is at least $1$ and stable if the genus of $Y$ is at least $2$.…

For a reductive group $G$, Harder-Narasimhan theory gives a structure theorem for principal $G$ bundles on a smooth projective curve $C$. A bundle is either semistable, or it admits a canonical parabolic reduction whose associated Levi…

In the present paper, we show that the motivic Hilbert zeta function for a curve singularity yields the generating functions for Euler numbers of punctual Hilbert schemes when any punctual Hilbert scheme admits an affine cell decomposition.…

Let $G$ be a simple and simply connected complex Lie group. We discuss the moduli space of holomorphic semistable principal $G$ bundles over an elliptic curve $E$. In particular we give a new proof of a theorem of Looijenga and…

We give an algorithm to determine whether a kernel sheaf over a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field is semistable. The algorithm uses symmetric powers to make destabilizing subbundles visible as global sections.

Let $C$ be a curve of genus two. We denote by $SU_C(3)$ the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank 3 and trivial determinant over $C$, and by $J^d$ the variety of line bundles of degree $d$ on $C$. In particular, $J^1$ has a…

Rational curves on Hilbert schemes of points on $K3$ surfaces and generalised Kummer manifolds are constructed by using Brill-Noether theory on nodal curves on the underlying surface. It turns out that all wall divisors can be obtained, up…

We discuss various aspects of the geometry of theta characteristics including the birational geometry of the spin moduli space of curves, parametrization of moduli via special K3 surfaces, as well as the relation with classical theta…

We study the theta divisor of the compactified jacobian of a nodal, possibly reducible, curve. We compute its irreducible components and give it a geometric interpretation consistent with the classical Brill-Noether theory of smooth curves.…

Let $F$ be a totally real number field and $\mathfrak{o}$ the ring of integers of $F$. We study theta functions which are Hilbert modular forms of half-integral weight for the Hilbert modular group $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathfrak{o})$. We obtain…

A theta curve is a spatial embedding of the $\theta$-graph in the three-sphere, taken up to ambient isotopy. We define the determinant of a theta curve as an integer-valued invariant arising from the first homology of its Klein cover. When…

Let $\X$ be an irreducible, smooth, projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over the complex field $\C.$ Then there is a covering $\pi: \X \longrightarrow \P^1,$ where $\P^1$ denotes the projective line. The problem of expressing…

Let $X$ be a semistable curve and $L$ a line bundle whose multidegree is uniform, i.e., in the range between those of the structure sheaf and the dualizing sheaf of $X$. We establish an upper bound for $h^0(X,L)$, which generalizes the…

Let X be a smooth projective connected curve of genus $g \ge 2$ and let I be a finite set of points of X. Fix a parabolic structure on I for rank r vector bundles on X. Let $M^{par}$ denote the moduli space of parabolic semistable bundles…

The aim of this paper is to show how zeta functions and excision in cyclic cohomology may be combined to obtain index theorems. In the first part, we obtain a local index formula for "abstract elliptic pseudodifferential operators"…

A proper etale Lie groupoid is modelled as a (noncommutative) spectral geometric space. The spectral triple is built on the algebra of smooth functions on the groupoid base which are invariant under the groupoid action. Stiefel-Whitney…
