Given a covering f: X \to Y of projective manifolds, we consider the vector bundle E on Y given as the dual of f_*(\O_X) / \O_Y. This vector bundles often has positivity properties, e.g. E is ample when Y is projective space by a theorem of…

Under some positivity assumptions, extension properties of rationally connected fibrations from a submanifold to its ambient variety are studied. Given a family of rational curves on a complex projective manifold X inducing a covering…

We study complex compact Kaehler manifolds $X$ carrying a contact structure. If $X$ is almost homogeneous and $b_2(X) \geq 2$, then $X$ is a projectivised tangent bundle (this was known in the projective case even without assumption on the…

We show that given two smooth affine varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ such that their rings of differential operators are Morita equivalent, then corresponding cotangent bundles are isomorphic as symplectic varieties.

In this paper we prove, using a refinement of Terracini's Lemma, a sharp lower bound for the degree of (higher) secant varieties to a given projective variety, which extends the well known lower bound for the degree of a variety in terms of…

In this article we prove new results on projective normality and normal presentation of adjunction bundle associated to an ample and globally generated line bundle on higher dimensional smooth projective varieties with nef canonical bundle.…

In this paper, we show an extension type theorem for twisted pluricanonical sections on a family of smooth projective manifolds (the twisting line bundle being pseudo-effective and having a prescribed multiplier ideal on the central fiber).

We describe the integral equivariant cohomology ring of a weighted projective space in terms of piecewise polynomials, and thence by generators and relations. We deduce that the ring is a perfect invariant, and prove a Chern class formula…

We show that the cohomology table of any coherent sheaf on projective space is a convergent--but possibly infinite--sum of positive real multiples of the cohomology tables of what we call supernatural sheaves.

We show that two smooth projective curves C_1 and C_2 of genus g which have isomorphic symmetric products are isomorphic unless g=2. This extends a theorem of Martens.

Tangent categories provide an axiomatic framework for understanding various tangent bundles and differential operations that occur in differential geometry, algebraic geometry, abstract homotopy theory, and computer science. Previous work…

We prove Kov\'acs' conjecture that claims that if the $p^{th}$ exterior power of the tangent bundle of a smooth complex projective variety contains the $p^{th}$ exterior power of an ample vector bundle then the variety is either projective…

In this paper we present a way of computing the degree of the secant (resp., tangent) variety of a smooth projective surface, under the assumption that the divisor giving the embedding in the projective space is $3$-very ample. This method…

We axiomatize the algebraic properties of toroidal compactifications of (mixed) Shimura varieties and their automorphic vector bundles. A notion of generalized automorphic sheaf is proposed which includes sheaves of (meromorphic) sections…

We extend Orlov's representability theorem on the equivalence of derived categories of sheaves to the case of smooth stacks associated to normal projective varieties with only quotient singularities.

We investigate the universal cover of projective threefolds whose tangent bundle is a direct sum of subbundles in case the Kodaira dimension is not 1 and 2. We also prove results on Fano manifolds with splitting tangent bundles in any…

We prove uniform boundedness statements for semistable pure sheaves on projective manifolds. For example, we prove that the set of isomorphism classes of pure sheaves of dimension 2 that are slope semistable with respect to ample classes…

The authors give a complete classification of projective threefolds admitting a holomorphic conformal structure. A Corollary is the complete list of projective threefolds, whose tangent bundle is a symmetric square.

In this article, we study projective log smooth pairs with numerically flat normalized logarithmic tangent bundle. Generalizing works of Jahnke-Radloff and Greb-Kebekus-Peternell, we show that, passing to an appropriate finite cover and up…

We study degenerations of complex projective spaces $\mathbb P^n$ into normal projective klt varieties $X$. If the tangent sheaf of $X$ is semi-stable, we show that $X$ itself is a projective space. If $X$ is a threefold with canonical…
