Our purpose in this paper is to construct new examples of twisted Brill Noether loci on curves of genus g greater than 2 with negative expected dimension. We begin by completing the proof of Butler's conjecture for coherent systems of…
Moduli of vector bundles on stacky curves behave similarly to moduli of vector bundles on curves, except there are additional numerical invariants giving many different notions of stability. We apply the existence criterion for good moduli…
Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus at least $3$. We compute the Brauer groups of the moduli spaces of stable parabolic $\text{SL}(r,\mathbb{C})$-connections and stable strongly parabolic $\text{SL}(r,\mathbb{C})$-Higgs bundles…
We compute the rational cohomology groups of the smooth Brill-Noether varieties $G^r_d(C)$, parametrizing linear series of degree $d$ and dimension exactly $r$ on a general curve $C$. As an application, we determine the whole intersection…
In this paper, we show that the cohomology of a general stable bundle on a Hirzebruch surface is determined by the Euler characteristic provided that the first Chern class satisfies necessary intersection conditions. More generally, we…
Given a generic stable strongly parabolic $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$-Higgs bundle $(\mathcal{E}, \varphi)$, we describe the family of harmonic metrics $h_t$ for the ray of Higgs bundles $(\mathcal{E}, t \varphi)$ for $t\gg0$ by perturbing from an…

We construct a universal partial compactification of the relative moduli space of semistable meromorphic Higgs bundles over the stack of stable pointed curves. It parametrizes meromorphic Gieseker Higgs bundles, and is equipped with a flat…
We classify globally generated vector bundles with first Chern class $c_1$ at least 4 on the projective 3-space with the property that $E(-c_1+3)$ has a non-zero global section. This (seemingly) technical result allows one to reduce the…
Let S be a K3 surface and assume for simplicity that it does not contain any (-2)-curve. Using coherent systems, we express every non-simple Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle on S as an extension of two sheaves of some special type, that we refer to…
If $X\subset\operatorname{Gr}(2,6)$ is the Fano variety of lines of a smooth cubic fourfold, then we show that the restriction to $X$ of any Schur functor of the tautological quotient bundle is modular and slope polystable. Moreover it is…
Let $\mathcal{M}_{C}(2, 0)$ be the moduli space of semistable rank two and degree zero Higgs bundles on a smooth complex hyperelliptic curve $C$ of genus three. We prove that the quotient of $\mathcal{M}_{C}(2, 0)$ by a twisted version of…
Generalizing work of Haydys and Hitchin, we prove the existence of a hyperholomorphic line bundle on certain hyperk\"ahler manifolds that do not necessarily admit an $S^1$ action. As examples, we consider the moduli space of (non-strongly)…
Let $X$ be a non-singular algebraic curve of genus $g$. We prove that the Brill-Noether locus $\bns $ is non-empty if $d= nd' +d'' $ with $0< d'' <2n$, $1\le s\le g$, $d'\geq (s-1)(s+g)/s $, $n\leq d''+(n-k)g$, $(d'',k)\ne(n,n)$. These…
The moduli space of Gieseker vector bundles is a compactification of moduli of vector bundles on a nodal curve. This moduli space has only normal crossing singularity and it provides a flat degeneration. We prove a Torelli type theorem for…
The moduli space M_0 of semi-stable rank 2 vector bundles with fixed trivial determinant over a non-hyperelliptic curve C of genus 3 is isomorphic to a quartic hypersurface in P^7 (Coble's quartic). We show that M_0 is self-dual and that…
This paper shows that on the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of fixed rank and determinant (of any degree) on a smooth curve of genus at least two, the base locus of the generalized theta divisor is large provided the rank is…
Brill-Noether theory studies the existence and deformations of curves in projective spaces; its basic object of study is $\mathcal{W}^r_{d,g}$, the moduli space of smooth genus $g$ curves with a choice of degree $d$ line bundle having at…
In this article we consider moduli properties of singular curves on K3 surfaces. Let $\mathcal{B}_g$ denote the stack of primitively polarized K3 surfaces $(X,L)$ of genus $g$ and let $\mathcal{T}^n_{g,k} \to \mathcal{B}_g$ be the stack…
We study the algebraic geometry of twisted Higgs bundles of cyclic type along complex curves. These objects, which generalize ordinary cyclic Higgs bundles, can be identified with representations of a cyclic quiver in a twisted category of…
