The Hilbert scheme of n points in the projective plane parameterizes degree n zero-dimensional subschemes of the projective plane. We examine the dual cones of effective divisors and moving curves on the Hilbert scheme. By studying…

Let X be a smooth irreducible complex projective curve of genus g > 1. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an unstable bundle of HN-lenght 2 to have a particular algebra of endomorphisms. Then, fixing the…

A relative Picard theory in the context of graded manifolds is introduced. A Berezinian calculus and a theory of connections over SUSY-curves are systematically developed, and used to prove a Gauss-Bonnet theorem for line bundles in that…

It is shown that $n$ points and $e$ lines in the complex Euclidean plane ${\mathbb C}^2$ determine $O(n^{2/3}e^{2/3}+n+e)$ point-line incidences. This bound is the best possible, and it generalizes the celebrated theorem by Szemer\'edi and…

We investigate the minimal singularities of metrics on a big line bundle $L$ over a projective manifold when the stable base locus $Y$ of $L$ is a submanifold of codimension $r\geq 1$. Under some assumptions on the normal bundle and a…

Inside the symmetric product of a very general curve, we consider the codimension-one subvarieties of symmetric tuples of points imposing exceptional secant conditions on linear series on the curve of fixed degree and dimension. We compute…

We determine all of lines in the moduli space $M$ of stable bundles for arbitrary rank and degree. A further application of minimal rational curves is also given in last section.

We consider structure constants of single trace operators in planar $\mathcal{N}$ = 4 Super-Yang-Mills theory within the hexagon framework. The standard procedure for forming a three point function out of two hexagons develops divergences…

The famous Szemer\'{e}di-Trotter theorem states that any arrangement of $n$ points and $n$ lines in the plane determines $O(n^{4/3})$ incidences, and this bound is tight. In this paper, we prove the following Tur\'an-type result for…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle over a smooth curve $C$, and $S = \mathbb{P} E$ the associated projective bundle. We describe the inflectional loci of certain projective models $\psi \colon S \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ in terms of Quot…

The minimal model program suggests a compactification of the moduli space of hyperplane arrangements which is a moduli space of stable pairs. Here, a stable pair consists of a scheme X which is a degeneration of projective space and a…

We study the moduli space of Gieseker semi-stable sheaves on the complex projective plane supported on sextic curves and having Euler characteristic one. We determine locally free resolutions of length one for all such sheaves. We decompose…

In this article we study interpolation estimates on a special class of compactifications of commutative algebraic groups constructed by Serre. We obtain a large quantitative improvement over previous results due to Masser and the first…

We establish a striking connection between Abramovich's and Vistoli's twisted bundles and Gieseker vector bundles. This note grew out of an attempt to understand a recent draft of Seshadri.

We find certain relations between flag Hilbert schemes of points on plane curves and moduli spaces of one-dimensional plane sheaves. We show that some of these moduli spaces are unirational.

We study moduli spaces of vector bundles on a two-dimensional neighbourhood $Z_k$ of an irreducible curve $\ell = CP^1$ with $\ell^2 = -k$ and give an explicit construction of these moduli as stratified spaces. We give sharp bounds for the…

We prove a lower bound on the Seshadri constant $\epsilon (L)$ on a $K3$ surface $S$ with $\Pic S \simeq \ZZ[L]$. In particular, we obtain that $\epsilon (L)=\alpha$ if $L^2=\alpha^2$ for an integer $\alpha$.

Let A be a union of smooth plane curves C_i, such that each singular point of A is quasihomogeneous. We prove that if C is a smooth curve such that each singular point of A U C is also quasihomogeneous, then there is an elementary…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, and let $\mathcal C$ be a collection of $n$ simple $k$-intersecting curves, meaning that every two distinct curves of $\mathcal C$ meet in at most $k$ points. A classical theorem of Pach and…

Recently, there has been great interest in the application of composition laws to problems in enumerative geometry. Using the moduli space of stable maps, we compute the number of irreducible, reduced, nodal, degree-$d$ genus-$2$ plane…
