In this article, we prove the Hodge conjecture for a desingularization of the moduli space of rank 2, semi-stable, torsion-free sheaves with fixed odd degree determinant over a very general irreducible nodal curve of genus at least 2. We…

The rational cohomology of the moduli space of rank two, odd degree stable bundles over a curve (of genus g > 1) has been studied intensely in recent years and in particular the invariant subring generated by Newstead's generators alpha,…

Newstead gave the generators of the cohomology ring of the moduli space of rank 2 semi-stable, torsion-free sheaves with fixed odd degree determinant over a smooth, projective curve. In this article, we generalize this result to the case…

Mumford and Newstead generalized the classical Torelli theorem to higher rank i.e., a smooth, projective curve $X$ is uniquely determined by the second intermediate Jacobian of the moduli space of stable rank $2$ bundles on $X$, with fixed…

We initiate a systematic study on the cohomology rings of the moduli stack $\mathfrak{M}_{d,\chi}$ of semistable one-dimensional sheaves on the projective plane. We introduce a set of tautological relations of geometric origin, including…

In this paper we prove a relative version of the classical Mumford-Newstead theorem for a family of smooth curves degenerating to a reducible curve with a simple node. We also prove a Torelli-type theorem by showing that certain moduli…

Some recent progress towards understanding the cohomology of moduli spaces of curves is described. Madsen and Weiss have given a proof of a generalisation of Mumford's conjecture on the stable cohomology of these moduli spaces M_g, and…

We prove that the moduli space of stable maps of degree 2 to the moduli space of rank 2 stable bundles of fixed determinant O(-x) over a smooth projective curve of genus g>2 has two irre- ducible components which intersect transversely. One…

We generalize the construction of a moduli space of semistable pairs parametrizing isomorphism classes of morphisms from a fixed coherent sheaf to any sheaf with fixed Hilbert polynomial under a notion of stability to the case of projective…

The cohomology ring of the moduli space of stable holomorphic vector bundles of rank n and degree d over a Riemann surface of genus g>1 has a standard set of generators when n and d are coprime. When n=2 the relations between these…

Let $C$ be a smooth irreducible complex projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ and $M$ the moduli space of stable vector bundles on $C$ of rank $n$ and degree $d$ with $\gcd(n,d)=1$. A generalised Picard sheaf is the direct image on $M$ of…

It has been a long-standing problem to find an adequate definition of a Clifford index for higher rank vector bundles on curves, which should capture the complexity of the curve in its moduli space. An interesting proposal in rank 2 has…

The main result of this paper amounts to a complete evaluation of the integral cohomological structure of the stable mapping class group. In particular it verifies the conjecture of D.Mumford about the rational cohomology of the stable…

The double ramification (DR) cycle associated to a line bundle on a family of curves detects where the line bundle becomes fibrewise-trivial. The Hodge-DR Conjecture proposes a formula for powers of the first Chern class of a natural line…

The goal is to verify the Hodge conjecture (and some related conjectures) for certain moduli spaces. It is shown that the (generalized) Hodge conjecture holds for the projective moduli spaces of vector bundles over an abelian or K3 surface…

Let $\MS_g$ be the moduli space of stable holomorphic vector bundles of rank 2 and fixed determinant of odd degree over a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$. This paper proves various properties of the rational cohomology ring…

We find a complete set of relations for the rational cohomology ring of the moduli space of rank three stable bundles over a Riemann surface of genus g and also show that the Pontryagin ring vanishes in degree 12g-8 and greater. The results…

Proven by A. Parshin and S. Arakelov in the early 70's, Shafaverich hyperbolicity conjecture states that a family of curves of genus $g\ge2$ parametrized by a non hyperbolic curve (\emph{i.e.} isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^1$, $\mathbb{C}$,…

Let $\alpha: X \to Y$ be a finite cover of smooth curves. Beauville conjectured that the pushforward of a general vector bundle under $\alpha$ is semistable if the genus of $Y$ is at least $1$ and stable if the genus of $Y$ is at least $2$.…

Let $C$ be a smooth irreducible irreducible projective curve of genus $g \ge 2$. Let $\mathcal{M}_C(n, \delta)$ be the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles on $C$ of rank $n$ and fixed determinant $\delta$ of degree $d$. Then the…
