A Bott tower is an iterated $\CP ^1$-bundle over a point, where each $\CP ^1$-bundle is the projectivization of a rank $2$ decomposable complex vector bundle. For a Bott tower, the filtered cohomology is naturally defined. We show that…
If $B$ is a toric manifold and $E$ is a Whitney sum of complex line bundles over $B$, then the projectivization $P(E)$ of $E$ is again a toric manifold. Starting with $B$ as a point and repeating this construction, we obtain a sequence of…
We study the geometry of Bott towers in the context of toric geometry, describing their associated fans arising from crosspolytopes. We compute the cohomology ring of each stage of the tower, and provide all monomial identities defining…
We say that a complete nonsingular toric variety (called a toric manifold in this paper) is over $P$ if its quotient by the compact torus is homeomorphic to $P$ as a manifold with corners. Bott manifolds (or Bott towers) are toric manifolds…
The main aim of this article is to study the topology of real Bott towers as special and interesting examples of real toric varieties. We first give a presentation of the fundamental group of a real Bott tower and show that the fundamental…
In this paper, using Klyachko's classification theorem we study positivity and semi-stability of toric vector bundles on a class of nonsingular projective toric varieties, known as Bott towers. In particular, we give a criterion of $s$-jet…
A Bott tower is the total space of a tower of fibre bundles with base CP^1 and fibres CP^1. Every Bott tower of height n is a smooth projective toric variety whose moment polytope is combinatorially equivalent to an n-cube. A circle action…
A real Bott manifold is the total space of a sequence of $\R P^1$ bundles starting with a point, where each $\R P^1$ bundle is projectivization of a Whitney sum of two real line bundles. A real Bott manifold is a real toric manifold which…
The nef cone of a projective variety Y is an important and often elusive invariant. In this paper we construct two polyhedral lower bounds and one polyhedral upper bound for the nef cone of Y using an embedding of Y into a toric variety.…
To a direct sum of holomorphic line bundles, we can associate two fibrations, whose fibers are, respectively, the corresponding full flag manifold and the corresponding projective space. Iterating these procedures gives, respectively, a…
Let $E$ be the Whitney sum of complex line bundles over a topological space $X$. Then, the projectivization $P(E)$ of $E$ is called a \emph{projective bundle} over $X$. If $X$ is a non-singular complete toric variety, so is $P(E)$. In this…
We study when two projective bundles over two arbitrary smooth projective varieties of different dimensions can be isomorphic. We show that two multi-projective bundles (fibre product of projective bundles) over different projective spaces…
A Bott manifold is a closed smooth manifold obtained as the total space of an iterated $\C P^1$-bundle starting with a point, where each $\C P^1$-bundle is the projectivization of a Whitney sum of two complex line bundles. A…
Let $X^{1,n}_r$ be the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^n$ in $r$ general points. We describe the Mori cone of $X^{1,n}_r$ for $r\leq n+2$ and for $r = n+3$ when $n\leq 4$. Furthermore, we prove that $X^{1,n}_{n+1}$ is log Fano and…
We consider some conditions under which a smooth projective variety X is actually the projective space. We also extend to the case of positive characteristic some results in the theory of vector bundle adjunction. We use methods and…
We study the cohomology groups of tautological bundles on Quot schemes over the projective line, which parametrize rank $r$ quotients of a vector bundle $V$ on $\mathbb{P}^1$. Our main result is an analogue of the Borel--Weil--Bott theorem…
We discuss some properties of the extremal rays of the cone of effective curves of surfaces that are obtained by blowing up the projective plane at points in very general position. The main motivation is to rectify an incorrect…
We study the positivity properties of the projectivization of a parabolic bundle over a smooth complex projective curve. The generators of its N\'eron--Severi group are computed, and the positive cone is determined. In particular, we…
Work of Gonz\'alez, Hering, Payne, and S\"uss shows that it is possible to find both examples and non-examples of Mori dream spaces among projectivized toric vector bundles. This result, and the combinatorial nature of the data of…
We study a tower of normal coverings over a compact K\"ahler manifold with holomorphic line bundles. When the line bundle is sufficiently positive, we obtain an effective estimate, which implies the Bergman stability. As a consequence, we…
