For a vector bundle V over a curve X of rank n and for each integer r in the range 1 \le r \le n-1, the Segre invariant s_r is defined by generalizing the minimal self-intersection number of the sections on a ruled surface. In this paper we…

For moduli space of stable parabolic bundles on a compact Riemann surface, we derive an explicit formula for the curvature of its canonical line bundle with respect to Quillen's metric and interpret it as a local index theorem for the…

Seshadri constants, introduced by Demailly, measure the local positivity of a nef divisor at a point. In this paper, we compute the Seshadri constants of the anticanonical divisors of Fano manifolds with coindex at most $3$ at a very…

Let $F$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, let $\Omega_F$ be Drinfeld's upper half-plane over $F$ and let $G^0$ the subgroup of $GL_2(F)$ consisting of elements whose determinant has norm $1$. By working locally on $\Omega_F$, we…

For every set of parabolic weights, we construct a Harder-Narasimhan stratification for the moduli stack of parabolic vector bundles on a curve. It is based on the notion of parabolic slope, introduced by Mehta and Seshadri. We also prove…

Following ideas of Nori, Biswas, ..., we show that given an integer r>0, a noetherian scheme X, and an effective Cartier divisor D on it, the parabolic vector bundles on (X,D) with weights multiples of 1/r (in the sense of…

We establish an improvement of Philippon's zero estimates primarily in the multiplicity setting. The improvement is made possible by a more geometric approach and in particular the use of Seshadri constants.

Consider a polarized abelian variety $(A,L)$ over the field of complex numbers. Following Demailly, one can associate to $(A,L)$ a real number $\epsilon(A,L)$, its {\em Seshadri constant}, which in effect measures how much of the positivity…

Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve defined over $\overline{\mathbb F}_p$ and $E$ a vector bundle on $X$ of rank at least two. For any $1\, \leq\, r\, <\, {\rm rank}(E)$, let ${\rm Gr}_r(E)$ be the Grassmann bundle over $X$…

Let X be an irreducible smooth projective curve defined over complex numbers, S= {p_1, p_2,...,p_n} \subset X$ a finite set of closed points and N > 1 a fixed integer. For any pair (r,d) in Z X Z/N, there exists a parabolic vector bundle…

We use the QCD sum rules for the three point correlation functions to compute the strong coupling constants of the meson vertices $\eta_c D^* D$ and $\eta_c D_s^* D_s$. We consider perturbative and non-perturbative contributions, working up…

Let $\mathscr{G}_{\rm CM}(d)$ denote the collection of groups (up to isomorphism) that appear as the torsion subgroup of a CM elliptic curve over a degree $d$ number field. We completely determine $\mathscr{G}_{\rm CM}(d)$ for odd integers…

We determine the effective cone of the Quot scheme parametrizing all rank r, degree d quotient sheaves of the trivial bundle of rank n on P^1. More specifically, we explicitly construct two effective divisors which span the effective cone,…

In this paper we investigate the geometry of the Dwork pencil in any dimension. More specifically, we study the automorphism group G of the generic fiber of the pencil over the complex projective line, and the quotients of it by various…

Two classic field theories of metric gravitation are given as constant-coefficient Exterior Differential Systems (EDS) on the flat orthonormal frame bundle over ten dimensional space. They are derivable by variation of Cartan 4-forms, and…

We define functorial isomorphisms of parallel transport along etale paths for a class of vector bundles on a p-adic curve. All bundles of degree zero whose reduction is strongly semistable belong to this class. In particular, they give rise…

Let D = {D_{1},...,D_{l}} be an arrangement of smooth hypersurfaces with normal crossings on the complex projective space P^n and let \Omega^{1}_{P^n}(log D) be the logarithmic bundle attached to it. Following [1], we show that…

We prove formulas for the cohomology and the extension groups of tautological bundles on punctual Quot schemes over complex smooth projective curves. As a corollary, we show that the tautological bundle determines the isomorphism class of…

Let $E$ be a uniform bundle on an arbitrary generalised Grassmannian $X$ defined over $\mathbb{C}$. We show that if the rank of $E$ is at most $e.d.(\mathrm{VMRT})$, then $E$ necessarily splits. For some generalised Grassmannians, we prove…

For an elliptic curve $E/\Q$, we determine the maximum number of twists $E^d/\Q$ it can have such that $E^d(\Q)_{tors}\supsetneq E(\Q)[2]$. We use these results to determine the number of distinct quadratic fields $K$ such that…
