We propose a new method to study birational maps between Fano varieties based on multiplier ideal sheaves. Using this method, we prove equivariant birational rigidity of four Fano threefolds acted on by the group A6. As an application, we…

We prove the rationality and irreducibility of the moduli space of---what we call---the endomorphism-general instanton vector bundles of arbitrary rank on the projective space. In particular, we deduce the rationality of the moduli spaces…

We prove sharp bounds on the discriminants of stable rank two sheaves on surfaces in three-dimensional projective space. The key technical ingredient is to study them as torsion sheaves in projective space via tilt stability in the derived…

We study the conormal sheaves and singular schemes of 1-dimensional foliations on smooth projective varieties $X$ of dimension 3 and Picard rank 1. We prove that if the singular scheme has dimension 0, then the conormal sheaf is…

We introduce three non-compact moduli stacks parametrizing noncommutative deformations of Hirzebruch surfaces; the first is the moduli stack of locally free sheaf bimodules of rank 2, which appears in the definition of noncommutative…

We survey recent results on quantum corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space M in type IIA/B string theory on a compact Calabi-Yau threefold X, or, equivalently, the vector multiplet moduli space in type IIB/A on X x S^1. Our main…

We identify Le Potier's moduli spaces of limit stable pairs $(F,s)$, where $F$ is a 2-dimensional sheaf on a nonsingular projective 4-fold $X$ and $s \in H^0(F)$, with the moduli spaces of polynomial stable 2-term complexes in derived…

Tikhomirov (2009) proved the irreducibility of the moduli space of mathematical instantons on the projective 3-space for all odd charges. The irreducibility for charges between 1 and 5 was known before. In the present paper, the rationality…

The moduli space of instantons on an ALE space is studied using the moduli space of $\mathcal{N}=4$ field theories in three dimensions. For instantons in a simple gauge group $G$ on $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_n$, the Hilbert series of such an…

In this work we study the moduli spaces of instanton bundles on the flag twistor space $F:=F(0,1,2)$. We stratify them in terms of the minimal twist supporting global sections and we introduce the notion of (special) 't Hooft bundle on $F$.…

We study the moduli spaces of rational curves on prime Fano threefolds of index 1. For general threefolds of most genera we compute the dimension and the number of irreducible components of these moduli spaces. Our results confirm Geometric…

We prove that the weight-two Hodge structure of moduli spaces of torsion-free sheaves on a K3 surface is as described by Mukai (the rank is arbitrary but we assume the first Chern class is primitive). We prove the moduli space is an…

In the present paper we describe new component of the Gieseker-Maruyama moduli space $\mathcal{M}(14)$ of coherent semistable rank-2 sheaves with Chern classes $c_1=0, \ c_2=14, \ c_3=0$ on $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ which is generically non-reduced.…

This paper is devoted to the study of some coherent sheaves on non reduced curves that can be locally embedded in smooth surfaces. If Y is such a curve then there is a filtration by subschemes C_i such that C_1 is the reduced curve…

Recently N.Nekrasov and A.Schwarz proposed a modification of the ADHM construction of instantons which produces instantons on a noncommutative deformation of the 4-dimensional real affine space. In this paper we study the relation between…

The family of smooth Fano 3-folds with Picard rank 1 and anticanonical volume 4 consists of quartic 3-folds and of double covers of the 3-dimensional quadric branched along an octic surface. They can all be parametrised as complete…

In five spacetime dimensions, instantons are finite energy, solitonic particles. We describe the dynamics of these objects in the presence of a Chern-Simons interaction. For U(N) instantons, we show that the 5d Chern-Simons term induces a…

In the so-called (2,2) theory, which is the U(N)^4 circular quiver superconformal Chern-Simons theory with levels (k,0,-k,0), it was known that the instanton effects are described by the free energy of topological strings whose…

Let X be a smooth projective variety over C. We find the natural notion of semistable orthogonal bundle and construct the moduli space, which we compactify by considering also orthogonal sheaves, i.e. pairs (E,\phi), where E is a torsion…

We describe a new class of instanton effects in string compactifications that preserve only N=1 supersymmetry in four dimensions. As is well-known, worldsheet or brane instantons in such a background can sometimes contribute to an effective…
