We explore very stable and wobbly bundles, twisted in a particular sense by a line bundle, over complex algebraic curves of genus $1$. We verify that twisted stable bundles on an elliptic curve are not very stable for any positive twist. We…

Let $X$ be the wonderful compactification of a complex symmetric space $G/H$ of minimal rank. For a point $x\,\in\, G$, denote by $Z$ be the closure of $BxH/H$ in $X$, where $B$ is a Borel subgroup of $G$. The universal cover of $G$ is…

A Beauville surface is a complex algebraic surface that can be presented as a quotient of a product of two curves by a suitable action of a finite group. Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald have been able to intrinsically characterize the groups…

We construct Abel maps for a stable curve $X$. Namely, for each one-parameter deformation of $X$ with regular total space, and every integer $d>0$, we construct by specialization a map $\alpha^d_X$ from the smooth locus of $X^d$ to the…

A classical fact is that normal bundles of rational normal curves are well-balanced. We generalize this by proving that all Veronese normal bundles are slope semistable. We also determine the line bundle decomposition of the restriction of…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $X/k$ be a projective variety. The conjectures of Demailly--Green--Griffiths--Lang posit that every integral subvariety of $X$ is of general type if and only if $X$ is…

We prove that the kernel of the evaluation morphism of global sections - namely the syzygy bundle - of a sufficiently ample line bundle on an abelian variety is stable. This settles a conjecture of Ein-Lazarsfeld-Mustopa, in the case of…

We study ample stable vector bundles on minimal rational surfaces. We give a complete classification of those moduli spaces for which the general stable bundle is both ample and globally generated. We also prove that if $V$ is any stable…

For a non-isotrivial family of surfaces of general type over a complex projective curve, we give upper bounds for the degree of the direct images of powers of the relative dualizing sheaf. They imply that, fixing the curve and the possible…

Let $Y_{1}, \ldots, Y_{q}$ be closed subschemes which are located in $\ell$-subgeneral position with index $\kappa$ in a complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n.$ Let $A$ be an ample Cartier divisor on $X.$ We obtain that if a…

We discuss the projectivity of the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on a curve of genus $g\geq 2$. This is a classical result from the 1960s, obtained using geometric invariant theory. We outline a modern approach that combines the…

We show that if f: X --> Y is a finite, separable morphism of smooth curves defined over a finite field F_q, where q is larger than an explicit constant depending only on the degree of f and the genus of X, then f maps X(F_q) surjectively…

Let $X$ be a normal, connected and projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. It is known that a vector bundle $V$ on $X$ is essentially finite if and only if it is trivialized by a proper surjective morphism $f:Y\to X$. In…

Fujita's second theorem for K\"ahler fibre spaces over a curve asserts that the direct image $V$ of the relative dualizing sheaf splits as the direct sum $ V = A \oplus Q$, where $A$ is ample and $Q$ is unitary flat. We focus on our…

We prove a precise version of a theorem of Siu and Beauville on morphisms to higher genus curves, and use it to show that if a variety $X$ in characteristic $p$ lifts to characteristic $0$, then any morphism $X \to C$ to a curve of genus $g…

Beauville and Laszlo give an interpretation of the affine Grassmannian for Gl_n over a field k as a moduli space of, loosely speaking, vector bundles over a projective curve together with a trivialization over the complement of a fixed…

We compute the Brauer group of the universal moduli stack of vector bundles on (possibly marked) smooth curves of genus at least three over the complex numbers. As consequence, we obtain an explicit description of the Brauer group of the…

We discuss the relationship between the ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy sheaves of ${\mathbb A}^n \setminus 0$ and the problem of splitting off a trivial rank $1$ summand from a rank $n$-vector bundle. We begin by computing $\pi_3^{{\mathbb…

Let G/Q be an homogeneous variety embedded in a projective space P thanks to an ample line bundle L. Take a projective space containing P and form the cone X over G/Q, we call this a cone over an homogeneous variety. Let $\alpha$ a class of…

We prove that any vector bundle computing the rank-two Clifford index of a smooth projective algebraic curve is linearly semistable. We also identify conditions under which such bundles become linearly stable, thereby addressing a question…
