Let (S,H) be a polarized K3 surface, $E$ be a coherent sheaf on S and W be a linear subspace in the space of global sections H^0(S,E). If we are lucky, there is an exact sequence 0 -> W tensor O -> E -> E' -> 0, which gives a correspondence…

The divisor theory of the complete graph $K_n$ is in many ways similar to that of a plane curve of degree $n$. We compute the splitting types of all divisors on the complete graph $K_n$. We see that the possible splitting types of divisors…

Let X be a ruled surface over a nonsingular curve C of genus $g\geq0$. Let $M_H:=M_{X,H}(2;c_1,c_2)$ be the moduli space of H-stable rank 2 vector bundles E on X with fixed Chern classes $c_i:=c_i(E)$ for $i=1,2$. The main goal of this…

In this note we give an easy proof of the existence of generically smooth components of the expected dimension of certain Brill--Noether loci of stable rank 2 vector bundles on a curve with general moduli, with related applications to…

In this survey, we report on progress concerning families of projective curves with fixed number and fixed (topological or analytic) types of singularities. We are, in particular, interested in numerical, universal and asymptotically proper…

In this paper we determine the number of general points through which a Brill--Noether curve of fixed degree and genus in any projective space can be passed.

Curve singularities are classical objects of study in algebraic geometry. The key player in their combinatorial structure is the {\it value semigroup}, or its compactification, the {\it value semiring}. One natural problem is to explicitly…

In this paper we examine the topology of Brill-Noether varieties associated to real trigonal curves. More precisely, we aim to count the connected components of the real locus of the varieties parametrizing linear systems of degree $d$ and…

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…

In this article, we consider an infinite family of normal surface singularities with an integral homology sphere link which is related to the family of space monomial curves with a plane semigroup. These monomial curves appear as the…

In this article we introduce a new class of non-commutative projective curves and show that in certain cases the derived category of coherent sheaves on them has a tilting complex. In particular, we prove that the right bounded derived…

We generalize the Moishezon Teicher algorithm that was suggested for the computation of the braid monodromy of an almost real curve. The new algorithm suits a larger family of curves, and enables the computation of braid monodromy not only…

We study linear series on a general curve of genus $g$, whose images are exceptional with regard to their secant planes. Working in the framework of an extension of Brill-Noether theory to pairs of linear series, we prove that a general…

It was recently determined exactly through how many general points a nondegenerate curve with nonspecial hyperplane section can pass. This gives rise to a method of constructing reducible curves $C_1 \cup_\Gamma C_2 \to \mathbb{P}^r$ with…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g>0$. We describe an open locus of Bridgeland stability conditions on the bounded derived category of coherent systems on $C$, and show that stability manifold detects the Brill--Noether theory…

We completely classify all plane curves of degree at most 30 with a unique cuspidal (locally unibranch) singular point and rational normalization in terms of the Newton pairs parameterizing the cusp. We distinguish between prime and…

We report on the problem of the existence of complex and real algebraic curves in the plane with prescribed singularities up to analytic and topological equivalence. The question is whether, for a given positive integer $d$ and a finite…

We generalize the Embedding Theorem of Eisenbud-Harris from classical Brill-Noether theory to the setting of Hurwitz-Brill-Noether theory. More precisely, in classical Brill-Noether theory, the embedding theorem states that a general linear…

The study of vector-like spectra in 4-dimensional F-theory compactifications involves root bundles, which are important for understanding the Quadrillion F-theory Standard Models (F-theory QSMs) and their potential implications in physics.…

We show that the non-Archimedean skeleton of the Prym variety associated to an unramified double cover of an algebraic curve is naturally isomorphic (as a principally polarized tropical abelian variety) to the tropical Prym variety of the…
