Let $C$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve of genus $g$ and $L$ a line bundle of degree $d$ generated by a linear subspace $V$ of $H^0(L)$ of dimension $n+1$. We prove a conjecture of D. C. Butler on the semistability of the kernel of…

We construct a stable homotopy type invariant for any Legendrian submanifold in a jet bundle equipped with a linear-at-infinity generating family. We show that this spectrum lifts the generating family homology groups. When the generating…

In this paper we study the gonality of the normalizations of curves in the linear system $|H|$ of a general primitively polarized $K3$ surface $(S,H)$ of genus $p$. We prove two main results. First we give a necessary condition on $p, g, k$…

A theorem of Green says that a line bundle of degree at least $2g+1+p$ on a smooth curve $X$ of genus $g$ has property $N_p$. We prove a similar conclusion for certain singular, reducible curves $X$ under suitable degree bounds over all…

We investigate degenerations of syzygy bundles on plane curves over $p$-adic fields. We use Mustafin varieties which are degenerations of projective spaces to find a large family of models of plane curves over the ring of integers such that…

Consider all possible ways of attaching disjoint chords to two ordered and oriented disjoint intervals so as to produce a connected graph. Taking the intervals to lie in the real axis with the induced orientation and the chords to lie in…

The cage problem asks for the smallest number $c(k,g)$ of vertices in a $k$-regular graph of girth $g$ and graphs meeting this bound are known as cages. While cages are known to exist for all integers $k \ge 2$ and $g \ge 3$, the exact…

We consider isolated horizons (Killing horizons up to the second order) whose null flow has the structure of a U(1) principal fiber bundle over a compact Riemann surface. We impose the vacuum Einstein equations (with the cosmological…

The gonality conjecture predicts that the gonality of a curve can be read off Koszul cohomology of line bundles of sufficiently large degree. We verify this conjecture for generic curves of odd genus. The even-genus case was previously…

Clifford indices for semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective curve of genus at least 4 were defined in a previous paper of the authors. The present paper studies bundles which compute these Clifford indices. We show that under…

We prove that the kernel bundle of the evaluation morphism of global sections, namely the syzygy bundle, of a sufficiently ample line bundle on a smooth projective variety is slope stable with respect to any polarization. This settles a…

It was conjectured in \cite{Namikawa_ExtendedTorelli} that the Torelli map $M_g\to A_g$ associating to a curve its jacobian extends to a regular map from the Deligne-Mumford moduli space of stable curves $\bar{M}_g$ to the (normalization of…

In this note, we give a new proof of Voisin's theorem on Green's conjecture for generic curves of odd genus resembling the first two sections of "Universal Secant Bundles and Syzygies of Canonical Curves" by the author, and so avoiding the…

Let $(X,H)$ be a polarized K3 surface with $\mathrm{Pic}(X) = \mathbb Z H$, and let $C\in |H|$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$. We give an upper bound on the dimension of global sections of a semistable vector bundle on $C$. This allows us…

For every $n\geq 3, g\geq 1$ and all large enough $e$ depending on $n,g$, there exist curves of genus $g$, degree $e$ in a general hypersurface of degree $n$ in $\mathbb P^n$, or in $\mathbb P^n$ itself, whose whose normal bundle $N$ is…

We develop an intersection theory for a singular hemitian line bundle with positive curvature current on a smooth projective variety and irreducible curves on the variety. And we prove the existence of a natural rational fibration structure…

Let $C$ be an algebraic curve of genus $g$ and $L$ a line bundle over $C$. Let $\mathcal{MS}_C(n,L)$ and $\mathcal{MO}_C(n,L)$ be the moduli spaces of $L$-valued symplectic and orthogonal bundles respectively, over $C$ of rank $n$. We…

We define several notions of interpolation for vector bundles on curves and discuss their relation to slope stability. The heart of the paper demonstrates how to use degeneration arguments to prove interpolation. We use these ideas to show…

Green's canonical syzygy conjecture asserts a simple relationship between the Clifford index of a smooth projective curve and the shape of the minimal free resolution of its homogeneous ideal in the canonical embedding. We prove the…

A long standing conjecture, known to us as the Eisenbud Goto conjecture, states that an n-dimensional variety embedded with degree $d$ in the $N$- dimensional projective space is $(d-(N-n)+1)$-regular in the sense of Castelnuovo-Mumford. In…
