We develop a new method for establishing the extremality in the closed cone of effective curves on the moduli space of curves and determine the extremality of many boundary $1$-strata. As a consequence, by using a general criterion for…

For a smooth canonically embedded curve $C$ of genus $9$ together with a pencil $|L|$ of degree $6$, we study the relative canonical resolution of $C\subset X\subset \mathbb{P}^8$, where $X$ is the scroll swept out by the pencil $|L|$. We…

We prove that curves in a non-primitive, base point free, ample linear system on a K3 surface have maximal variation. The result is deduced from general restriction theorems applied to the tangent bundle. We also show how to use…

We introduce several families of filtrations on the space of vector bundles over a smooth projective variety. These filtrations are defined using the large k asymptotics of the kernel of the Dolbeault Dirac operator on a bundle twisted by…

We study different notions of slope of a vector bundle over a smooth projective curve with respect to ampleness and affineness in order to apply this to tight closure problems. This method gives new degree estimates from above and from…

We survey some properties of a class of curves lying on certain elliptic ruled surfaces, studied by A. Treibich and J.L. Verdier in connection with elliptic solitons and KP equations. In particular we discuss their Brill-Noether generality,…

We show that when a K3 surface acquires a node, the existence of stable spherical sheaves of certain Chern classes can be obstructed.

We compute the degree of Hurwitz-Hodge classes $\lambda_1^e$ on one dimensional moduli spaces of cyclic admissible covers of the projective line. We also compute the degree of the the first Chern class of the Hodge bundle $\lambda_1$ for…

Let $S \subset \mathbb{P}^g$ be a smooth $K3$ surface of degree $2g-2$, $g \geq 3$. We classify all the cases for which $h^0(\mathcal{N}_{S/\mathbb{P}^g}(-2)) \neq 0$ and the cases for which $h^0(\mathcal{N}_{S/\mathbb{P}^g}(-2)) <…

It is known that the fundamental group homomorphism $\pi_1(T^2) \to \pi_1(S^3\setminus K)$ induced by the inclusion of the boundary torus into the complement of a knot $K$ in $S^3$ is a complete knot invariant. Many classical invariants of…

The surfaces considered are real, rational and have a unique smooth real $(-2)$-curve. Their canonical class $K$ is strictly negative on any other irreducible curve in the surface and $K^2>0$. For surfaces satisfying these assumptions, we…

Consider a smooth irreducible Hodge generic curve $S$ defined over $\bar{\Q}$ in the Torelli locus $T_g\subset \mathcal{A}_g$. We establish Zilber-Pink-type statements for such curves depending on their intersection with the boundary of the…

We prove the Integral Hodge Conjecture for curve classes on smooth varieties of dimension at least three with nef anticanonical divisor constructed as a complete intersection of ample hypersurfaces in a smooth toric variety. In particular,…

In this paper, we prove that the theta divisor of a smooth hyperelliptic curve has a natural and explicit embedded resolution of singularities using iterated blowups of Brill-Noether subvarieties. We also show that the Brill-Noether…

We give an explicit graph formula, in terms of decorated boundary strata classes, for the wall-crossing of universal Brill-Noether classes. More precisely, fix n>0 and d<g , and two stability conditions \phi^-, \phi^+ for degree d…

We determine the wall divisors on irreducible symplectic orbifolds which are deformation equivalent to a special type of examples, called Nikulin orbifolds. The Nikulin orbifolds are obtained as partial resolutions in codimension 2 of a…

Mukai showed that projective models of Brill-Noether general polarized K3 surfaces of genus $6-10$ and $12$ are obtained as linear sections of projective homogeneous varieties, and that their hyperplane sections are Brill-Noether general…

We explore some of the interplay between Brill-Noether subvarieties of the moduli space SU_C(2,K) of rank 2 bundles with canonical determinant on a smooth projective curve and 2\theta divisors, via the inclusion of the moduli space into…

Let $X$, $D$ be a smooth projective surface and a simple normal crossing divisor on $X$, respectively. Suppose $\kappa (X, K_X + D)\ge 0$, let $C$ be an irreducible curve on $X$ whose support is not contained in $D$ and $\alpha$ a rational…

Nonvanishing theorems play a central role in birational geometry, since they derive geometric consequences from numerical information and constitute a crucial step towards abundance and semiampleness problems. General nonvanishing…
