We prove that the derived category $D(C)$ of a generic curve of genus greater than one embeds into the derived category $D(M)$ of the moduli space $M$ of rank two stable bundles on $C$ with fixed determinant of odd degree.

Given two vector bundles E and F on a variety X and a morphism from Sym^2(E) to F, we compute the cohomology class of the locus in X where the kernel of this morphism contains a quadric of prescribed rank. Our formulas have many…

Simple boundary expressions for the k-th power of the cotangent line class on the moduli space of stable 1-pointed genus g curves are found for k >= 2g. The method is by virtual localization on the moduli space of maps to the projective…

Mukai's program seeks to recover a K3 surface $X$ from any curve $C$ on it by exhibiting it as a Fourier-Mukai partner to a Brill-Noether locus of vector bundles on the curve. In the case $X$ has Picard number one and the curve $C\in |H|$…

The moduli space $\mathcal{S}_{g, 2n}$ parametrizes pointed curves with spin structure. We prove that $\mathcal{S}_{g, 2}$, $\mathcal{S}_{g, 4}$ and $\mathcal{S}_{g, 6}$ are uniruled for particular values of $g$.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective K3 surface over complex numbers and $C$ be an ample curve on $X$. In this paper we will study the semistability of the Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle $E_{C, A}$ associated to a line bundle $A$ ion $C$ such that $|A|$…

Let S be a compact surface with boundary and F be the set of the orbits of a traversing flow on S. If the flow is generic, its orbit space is a spine G of S, namely G is a graph embedded in S and S is a regular neighbourhood of G. Moreover…

Let $H_{d,g}$ denote the Hilbert scheme of locally Cohen-Macaulay curves of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in projective three space. We show that, given a smooth irreducible curve $C$ of degree $d$ and genus $g$, there is a rational curve…

In a recent paper Chiodo and Farkas described the singular locus and the locus of non-canonical singularities of the moduli space of level curves. In this work we generalize their results to the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal R}_{g,G}$ of…

We investigate the interplay between the moduli spaces of ample <2>-polarized IHS manifolds of type K3^[2] and of IHS manifolds of type K3^[2] with a nonsymplectic involution with invariant lattice of rank one. In particular we…

Let C be a general curve. Mukai asked whether for every stable rank 2 vector bundle E on C with det(E) = K, the multiplication map Sym^2 H^0(C,E) --> H^0(C, Sym^2 E) is injective. We observe that this holds when h^0(E) < 7 .

In this paper, we study generalized line bundles over $C_n$, a primitive multiple curve of arbitrary multiplicity $n$, where $n$ is a positive integer. In particular, we give a structure theorem for them and we characterize their…

We describe the invariants of plane quartic curves -- nonhyperelliptic genus 3 curves in their canonical model -- as determined by Dixmier and Ohno, with application to the classification of curves with given structure. In particular, we…

Let $K$ be a local field of residue characteristic $p$. Let $C$ be a curve over $K$ whose minimal proper regular model has totally degenerate semi-stable reduction. Under certain hypotheses, we compute the prime-to-$p$ rational torsion…

We examine the space of surfaces in $\RR^{3}$ which are complete, properly embedded and have nonzero constant mean curvature. These surfaces are noncompact provided we exclude the case of the round sphere. We prove that the space $\Mk$ of…

We describe a systematic way of constructing effective divisors on the moduli space of stable curves of genus g having exceptionally small slope. We prove that any divisor on \bar{M}_g consisting of curves failing a certain Green-Lazarsfeld…

Let $S$ be a K3 surface, $C$ a smooth curve on $S$ with $\mathcal{O}_S(C)$ ample, and $A$ a base-point free $g^2_d$ on $C$ of small degree. We use Lazarsfeld--Mukai bundles to prove that $A$ is cut out by the global sections of a rank 1…

We describe the 6-dimensional compact K-moduli space of Fano threefolds in deformation family No 2.18. These Fano threefolds are double covers of $\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^2$ branched along smooth $(2,2)$-surfaces, and…

We test the refined distance conjecture in the vector multiplet moduli space of 4D $\mathcal{N}=2$ compactifications of the type IIA string that admit a dual heterotic description. In the weakly coupled regime of the heterotic string, the…

In this paper, we study the Severi variety $V_{L,g}$ of genus $g$ curves in $|L|$ on a general polarized K3 surface $(X,L)$. We show that the closure of every component of $V_{L,g}$ contains a component of $V_{L,g-1}$. As a consequence, we…
