We consider irreducible logarithmic connections $(E,\,\delta)$ over compact Riemann surfaces $X$ of genus at least two. The underlying vector bundle $E$ inherits a natural parabolic structure over the singular locus of the connection…

This paper explores a natural action of the group $\mathrm{PGL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$ on the set of monic irreducible polynomials of degree at least two over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. Our main results deal with the existence and number of…

We present a new family of monads whose cohomology is a stable rank two vector bundle on $\PP$. We also study the irreducibility and smoothness together with a geometrical description of some of these families. Such facts are used to prove…

We study the moduli space of trace-free irreducible rank 2 holomorphic connections over a complex projective curve of genus 2 and the forgetful map towards the moduli space of underlying vector bundles (including unstable bundles), for…

If a characteristic class for two vector bundles over the same base space does not coincide, then the bundles are not isomorphic. We give under rather common assumptions a lower bound on the topological dimension of the set of all points in…

We describe the moduli space of logarithmic rank 2 connections on elliptic curves with 2 poles.

Take an irreducible smooth projective curve $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and fix finitely many distinct point $D\, =\, \{x_1,\, \cdots,\, x_n\}$ of it; for each point $x\, \in\, D$ fix a positive…

We give a complete classification of globally generated vector bundles of rank 3 on a smooth quadric threefold with $c_1\leq 2$ and extend the result to arbitrary higher rank case. We also investigate the existence of globally generated…

We study stable rank 2 vector bundles with trivial determinant whose Frobenius pull back is non stable over a general curve of genus g>1. In genus 2, we apply recent results about the theta divisor associated to the bundle B of locally…

We construct a scalar invariant of flat principal 2-bundles over 3-manifolds, with structure 2-group $\mathcal{G}$, from an involutory Hopf algebra graded by $\mathcal{G}$. Expressing $\mathcal{G}$ in terms of a crossed module $\chi$ and…

Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, and geometrically connected curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p$ different from $2$ and $S\subseteq X$ a subset of closed points. Let $\overline{X}$ and $\overline{S}$ be…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$. We prove that a parabolic vector bundle $\mathcal{E}$ on $X$ on $X$ is (strongly) wobbly, i.e. $\mathcal{E}$ has a non-zero (strongly) parabolic nilpotent Higgs field, if and…

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…

For a real or complex semisimple Lie group $G$ and two nested parabolic subgroups $Q\subset P\subset G$, we study parabolic geometries of type $(G,Q)$. Associated to the group $P$, we introduce a class of relative natural bundles and…

Absolutely indecomposable vector bundle and parabolic vector bundles are well-studied via quiver representations. In this paper, we study absolutely indecomposable quasi-parabolic $G$-bundles over $\mathbb{P}^1$ with generic additive…

For a vector bundle $V$ over a curve $X$, the Segre invariant $s_n (V)$ encodes the maximal degree attained by rank $n$ subbundles of $V$. The functions $s_n$ define stratifications on moduli of $V$ which are well studied. Let $G$ be a…

The classification of algebraic vector bundles of rank 2 over smooth affine fourfolds is a notoriously difficult problem. Isomorphism classes of such vector bundles are not uniquely determined by their Chern classes, in contrast to the…

Hausel introduced a commutative algebra -- the multiplicity algebra -- associated to a fixed point of the C^*-action on the Higgs bundle moduli space. Here we describe this algebra for a fixed point consisting of a very stable rank 2 vector…

This paper contains results on stable bundles of rank 2 with space of sections of dimension 4 on a smooth irreducible projective algebraic curve $C$. There is a known lower bound on the degree for the existence of such bundles; the main…

On P3, we show that mathematical instantons in characteristic two are unobstructed. We produce upper bounds for the dimension of the moduli space of stable rank two bundles on P3 in characteristic two. In cases where there is a phenomenon…
