In this paper, we prove that a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ with pseudo-effective (resp. singular positively curved) tangent bundle admits a smooth (resp. locally constant) rationally connected fibration $\phi \colon X \to Y$ onto a finite…

We prove that affine invariant manifolds in strata of flat surfaces are algebraic varieties. The result is deduced from a generalization of a theorem of M\"oller. Namely, we prove that the image of a certain twisted Abel-Jacobi map lands in…

We give a $K$-theoretic criterion for a quasi-projective variety to be smooth. If $\mathbb{L}$ is a line bundle corresponding to an ample invertible sheaf on $X$, it suffices that $K_q(X) = K_q(\mathbb{L})$ for all $q\le\dim(X)+1$.

Let X be an irreducible affine T-variety. We consider families of affine stable toric T-varieties over X and give a description of the corresponding moduli space as the quotient stack of an open subscheme in a certain toric Hilbert scheme…

This paper proves two theorems (1) Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. I prove (Theorem 2.1.1) that if, $p > 13$ or $p = 11$, then the isomorphism class of any supersingular elliptic curve is a zero divisor in…

Let T be an algebraic torus acting on a smooth variety V. We study the relationship between the various GIT quotients of V and the symplectic quotient of the cotangent bundle of V.

We give evidence for a uniformization-type conjecture, that any algebraic variety can be altered into a variety endowed with a tower of smooth fibrations of relative dimension one.

A tangent category is a categorical abstraction of the tangent bundle construction for smooth manifolds. In that context, Cockett and Cruttwell develop the notion of differential bundle which, by work of MacAdam, generalizes the notion of…

A generalized Euler sequence over a complete normal variety X is the unique extension of the trivial bundle V \otimes O_X by the sheaf of differentials \Omega_X, given by the inclusion of a linear space V in Ext^1(O_X,\Omega_X). For…

We construct the algebraic cobordism theory of bundles and divisors on smooth varieties. It has a simple basis (over Q) from projective spaces and its rank is equal to the number of Chern invariants. As an application we study the number of…

The stratified vector bundles on a smooth variety defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ form a neutral Tannakian category over $k$. We investigate the affine group--scheme corresponding to this neutral Tannakian category.

The Cox construction presents a toric variety as a quotient of affine space by a torus. The category of coherent sheaves on the corresponding stack thus has an evident description as invariants in a quotient of the category of modules over…

Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. Let C be a smooth projective curve over k. We give a description of the moduli space of flat G-bundles in terms of the moduli space of G-Higgs bundles…

Given any toric subvariety $Y$ of a smooth toric variety $X$ of codimension $k$, we construct a length $k$ resolution of $\mathcal O_Y$ by line bundles on $X$. Furthermore, these line bundles can all be chosen to be direct summands of the…

We classify holomorphic as well as algebraic torus equivariant principal $G$-bundles over a nonsingular toric variety $X$, where $G$ is a complex linear algebraic group. It is shown that any such bundle over an affine, nonsingular toric…

We prove that a vector bundle $E$ over a smooth complex projective variety $M$ is \'etale trivial if and only if $E$ is semiample and $c_1(E) \in H^2(M, {\mathbb Q})$ vanishes. Also, a vector bundle $E$ over a smooth complex projective…

We continue the program of structural differential geometry that begins with the notion of a tangent category, an axiomatization of structural aspects of the tangent functor on the category of smooth manifolds. In classical geometry, having…

Suppose that $X$ is a projective manifold whose tangent bundle $T_X$ contains a locally free strictly nef subsheaf. We prove that $X$ is isomorphic to a projective bundle over a hyperbolic manifold. Moreover, if the fundamental group…

We consider a finite collection of line bundles $\Phi$ introduced by Bondal on a smooth, projective toric variety $X$. For any coherent sheaf $F$ on $X$, we construct minimal resolutions of $F$ by line bundles in $\Phi$, up to twist, with…

If a toric foliation on a projective Q-factorial toric variety has an extremal ray whose length is longer than the rank of the foliation, then the associated extremal contraction is a projective space bundle and the foliation is the…
