The following results are proved: Theorem 1. A totally real semiparallel submanifold of constant curvature with parallel f-structure in the normal bundle of a K\"ahler manifold N is flat or a totally geodesic submanifold of N. Theorem 2. A…

We study ample vector bundles on smooth projective stacks. In particular, we prove that the tangent bundle for the weighted projective stack $\mathbb{P}(a_0,...,a_n)$ is ample. A result of Mori shows that the only smooth projective…

A classical fact is that normal bundles of rational normal curves are well-balanced. We generalize this by proving that all Veronese normal bundles are slope semistable. We also determine the line bundle decomposition of the restriction of…

We show that smooth projective horospherical varieties with nef tangent bundles are rational homogeneous spaces.

Let G be a complex reductive group. A normal G-variety X is called spherical if a Borel subgroup of G has a dense orbit in X. Of particular interest are spherical varieties which are smooth and affine since they form local models for…

In this paper, we prove that for any smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g\geq2$ over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exists a stable vector bundle over $C$ whose exterior power is not semi-stable.

For every $n\geq 3, g\geq 1$ and all large enough $e$ depending on $n,g$, there exist curves of genus $g$, degree $e$ in a general hypersurface of degree $n$ in $\mathbb P^n$, or in $\mathbb P^n$ itself, whose whose normal bundle $N$ is…

A subvariety of a complex projective space has a well-known dual variety, which is the set of its tangent hyperplanes. The purpose of this paper is to generalise this notion for a subvariety of a quite general partial flag variety. A…

Let G be a semisimple connected linear algebraic group over C, and X a wonderful G-variety. We study the possibility of realizing X as a closed subvariety of the projective space of a simple G-module. We describe the wonderful varieties…

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…

We give necessary conditions on the invariants (d,g) of a smooth, integral curve self-linked by a complete intersection of type (a,b) in projective three space. Similar conditions are given for s.t.c.i. curves with a multiplicity three…

We study semiresolutions of quasi-projective varieties with properties $G_1$, $S_2$, and seminormality. Equivalently, these are varieties $X$ with Serre's $S_2$ property, such that there exists an open subvariety $U$, with complement of…

We study a natural generalization of transversally intersecting smooth hypersurfaces in a complex manifold: hypersurfaces, whose components intersect in a transversal way but may be themselves singular. Such hypersurfaces will be called…

We study the arithmetic properties of projective varieties of almost minimal degree, that is of non-degenerate irreducible projective varieties whose degree exceeds the codimension by precisely 2. We notably show, that such a variety $X…

Let Y be a subvariety of a smooth projective variety X, and V a vector bundle on X. Given that the restriction of V to Y splits into a direct sum of line bundles, we ask whether V splits on X. I answer this question in affirmative if holds:…

We show that Schur classes of ample vector bundles on smooth projective varieties satisfy Hodge-Riemann relations on $H^{p,q}$ under the assumption that $H^{p-2,q-2}$ vanishes. More generally, we study Hodge-Riemann polynomials, which are…

We give an algebro-geometric derivation of the known intersection theory on the moduli space of stable rank 2 bundles of odd degree over a smooth curve of genus g. We lift the computation from the moduli space to a Quot scheme, where we…

There is a canonical identification, due to the author, of a convex real projective structure on an orientable surface of genus g and a pair consisting of a conformal structure together with a holomorphic cubic differential on the surface.…

We define certain closed subvarieties of the flag variety, Hessenberg ideal fibers, and prove that they are paved by affines. Hessenberg ideal fibers are a natural generalization of Springer fibers. In type $G_2$, we give explicit…

We prove a mixed version of a conjecture of Griffiths: that the closure of the image of any admissible mixed period map is quasiprojective, with a natural ample bundle. Specifically, we consider the map from the image of the mixed period…
