Let $(V,q)$ be a vector bundle on a smooth projective curve $X$ together with a quadratic form $q: \mathrm{Sym}^2(V) \ra \mathcal{O}_X$ (respectively symplectic form $q: \Lambda^2V \ra \mathcal{O}_X$). Fixing the degeneracy locus of the…

In this article, we investigate Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on projective bundles over higher dimensional smooth projective varieties.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over the field $\mathbb{C}$. Let $M_{X}(2,L)$ denote the moduli space of stable rank $2$ vector bundles on $X$ with fixed determinant $L$ of degree $2g-1$. Consider the Brill-Noether…

We study the moduli problem of pairs consisting of a rank 2 vector bundle and a nonzero section over a fixed smooth curve. The stability condition involves a parameter; as it varies, we show that the moduli space undergoes a sequence of…

We classify morphisms from proper varieties to Brauer-Severi varieties, which generalizes the classical correspondence between morphisms to projective space and globally generated invertible sheaves. As an application, we study del Pezzo…

We use Serre construction and deformation to construct stable bundles and reflexive sheaves on Calabi-Yau threefolds.

In this note we define a subgroup $H^i_{nr,\pi}$ of unramified cohomology group $H^i_{nr}$ of a fibration $\pi:X\to S$. This subgroup can be used efficiently in refined specialization arguments and allows to detect the failure of stable…

We study effective global generation properties of projectivizations of curve semistable vector bundles over curves and abelian varieties.

We observe that if we are interested primarily in degeneration arguments, there is a weaker notion of (semi)stability for vector bundles on reducible curves, which is sufficient for many applications, and does not depend on a choice of…

This is a survey of recent examples of varieties that are not stably rational. We review the specialization method based on properties of the Chow group of zero-cycles used in these examples and explain the point of view of unramified…

We show that the classic Verlinde numbers on the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective curve can also be regarded as Segre numbers of natural universal complexes over the moduli space.

We prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rank 2 semistable torsion free sheaves (with a generic polarization and any value of c_2) on a K3 or a del Pezzo surface. In the case of a K3 surface, we need to prove a result on the…

We construct the first non-trivial examples of complete families of non-degenerate smooth space curves, and show that the base of such a family cannot be a rational curve. Both results rely on the study of the strong semistability of…

We develop an intersection theory for a singular hemitian line bundle with positive curvature current on a smooth projective variety and irreducible curves on the variety. And we prove the existence of a natural rational fibration structure…

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 moduli space of stable sheaves of Euler characteristic 1 supported on curves of bidegree (3, 3) contained in a smooth quadric surface. We show that this moduli space is rational. We compute its Betti numbers by studying the…

We exhibit families of smooth projective threefolds with both stably rational and non stably rational fibers.

We provide supplements and open problems related to structure theorems for maximal rationally connected fibrations of certain positively curved projective varieties, including smooth projective varieties with semi-positive holomorphic…

Let X be a projective smooth irreducible polarized variety over the field of complex numbers. Typical examples of wide extensions are vector bundles E that have a subsheaf F whose slope is much bigger than the slope of E/F, and such that F…

We study embeddability of rational ruled surfaces as symplectic hyperplane sections into closed integral symplectic manifolds. From this we obtain results on Stein fillability of Boothby--Wang bundles over rational ruled surfaces.
