The following conjecture arose out of discussions between B. Harbourne, J. Ro\'e, C. Cilberto and R. Miranda: for a smooth projective surface $X$ there exists a positive constant $c_X$ such that $h^1(\mathcal O_X(C))\le c_X h^0(\mathcal…

We formalize the concepts of holomorphic affine and projective structures along the leaves of holomorphic foliations by curves on complex manifolds. We show that many foliations admit such structures, we provide local normal forms for them…

Let E be the restriction of the null-correlation bundle on $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ to a hyperplane. In this article, we show that the projective bundle $\mathbb{P}(E)$ is isomorphic to a blow-up of a non-singular quadric in $\mathbb{P}^{4}$ along…

In this paper we study holomorphic rank two vector bundles on the blow up of $ {\bf C}^2$ at the origin. A classical theorem of Birchoff and Grothendieck says that any holomorphic vector bundle on the projective plane ${\bf P}^1$ splits…

We explain in detail the correspondence between algebraic connections over CP^{1}, logarithmic at X = { x_{1},...,x_{n} } \subset CP^{1}, and flat bundles over CP^{1}-X with integer weighted filtrations near each x_{j}. Included is a gauge…

In this paper, we construct a natural probability measure on the space of real branched coverings from a real projective algebraic curve $(X,c_X)$ to the projective line $(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1,\textrm{conj})$. We prove that the space of…

Let ${\mathcal M}$ be a moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank $r$ and determinant $\xi$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$. Fix a semistable holomorphic vector bundle $F$ on $X$ such that $\chi(E\otimes F)= 0$ for $E \in \mathcal M$.…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $D$ be a reduced Weil divisor on $X$. Let $G$ be a reductive linear algebraic group. We introduce the notion of a logarithmic connection…

Let $X$ be surface with isolated singularities in the complex projective space $P^3$ and let denote $Y$ the smooth part of $X$. In this note we discuss some aspects of the topology of such quasi-projective surfaces $Y$: the fundamental…

For any smooth projective variety with holomorphic locally homogeneous structure modelled on a homogeneous algebraic variety, we determine all the subvarieties of it which develop to the model.

We investigate the logarithmic bundles associated to arrangements of hypersurfaces with a fixed degree in a smooth projective variety. We then specialize to the case when the variety is a quadric hypersurface and a multiprojective space to…

We study the derived categories of coherent sheaves of weighted projective spaces and their noncommutative deformations, and the derived categories of Lagrangian vanishing cycles of their mirror Landau-Ginzburg models. In particular, we…

Given a symplectic 4-manifold $(X,\omega)$ with rational symplectic form, Auroux constructed branched coverings to $(CP^2,\omega_{FS})$. By modifying a previous construction of Lambert-Cole--Meier--Starkston, we prove that the branch locus…

In an earlier paper we conjectured a relation between the quantum $\mathcal D$-modules of a smooth variety $X$ and the projectivisation of a direct sum of line bundles over it. In this paper we prove the conjecture when $X$ is a complete…
