A geometric construction of Sullivan's Stiefel-Whitney homology classes of a real analytic variety $X$ is given by means of the conormal cycle of an embedding of $X$ in a smooth variety. We prove that the Stiefel-Whitney classes define…

Projective structures on compact real manifolds are classical objects in real differential geometry. Complex manifolds with a holomorphic projective structure on the other hand form a special class as soon as the dimension is greater than…

Let X_0 be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus g with D_0\subset X_0 an ordered subset of cardinality n, and let E_G be a holomorphic principal G-bundle on X_0, where G is a complex reductive affine algebraic group, that admits a…

We establish a stronger Bogomolov--Gieseker type inequality for slope-semistable sheaves on the smooth quintic threefold. Our approach combines a refined restriction theorem for tilt-stable objects with explicit Clifford-type bounds for…

The number of singularities, counted with multiplicity, of a generic codimension one holomorphic distribution on a compact toric orbifold is determined. As a consequence, we give the classification of regular distributions on rational…

We prove a Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for the third Chern characters of stable sheaves on Calabi-Yau 3-folds and a large class of Fano 3-folds with given rank and first and second Chern classes. The proof uses the spreading-out…

We describe a differential graded Lie algebra controlling infinitesimal deformations of triples $(X,\mathcal{F},\sigma)$, where $\mathcal{F}$ is a coherent sheaf on a smooth variety $X$ over a field of characteristic 0 and $\sigma\in…

Let $X$ be a normal compact K\"ahler variety, and $\mathcal{F}$ a coherent reflexive sheaf on $X$. We investigate the existence of admissible Hermitian metrics on $\mathcal{F}$. If moreover $\mathcal{F}$ is slope stable, we also study the…

We classify compact surfaces with torsion-free affine connections for which every geodesic is a simple closed curve. In the process, we obtain completely new proofs of all the major results concerning the Riemannian case. In contrast to…

Kodaira embedding theorem provides an effective characterization of projectivity of a K\"ahler manifold in terms the second cohomology. Recently X. Yang [21] proved that any compact K\"ahler manifold with positive holomorphic sectional…

Let X be an orbifold with crepant resolution Y. The Crepant Resolution Conjectures of Ruan and Bryan-Graber assert, roughly speaking, that the quantum cohomology of X becomes isomorphic to the quantum cohomology of Y after analytic…

We introduce a class of analytic sheaves in a Banach space X, that we call cohesive sheaves. Cohesion is meant to generalize the notion of coherence from finite dimensional analysis. Accordingly, we prove the analog of Cartan's Theorems A…

We describe new irreducible components of the Gieseker-Maruyama moduli scheme $\mathcal{M}(3)$ of semistable rank 2 coherent sheaves with Chern classes $c_1=0,\ c_2=3,\ c_3=0$ on $\mathbb{P}^3$, general points of which correspond to sheaves…

The cohomology jump loci of a space $X$ are of two basic types: the characteristic varieties, defined in terms of homology with coefficients in rank one local systems, and the resonance varieties, constructed from information encoded in…

Given a proper toric variety and a line bundle on it, we describe the morphism on singular cohomology given by the cup product with the Chern class of that line bundle in terms of the data of the associated fan. Using that, we relate the…

Extending some results of Crauder and Katz, and Ein and Shepherd-Barron on special Cremona transformations, we study birational transformations of the complex projective spaces onto prime Fano manifolds such that the base locus X of the…

A bi-invariant differential 2-form on a Lie group G is a highly constrained object, being determined by purely linear data: an Ad-invariant alternating bilinear form on the Lie algebra of G. On a compact connected Lie group these have an…

We investigate compact complex manifolds of dimension three and second Betti number $b_2(X) = 0$. We are interested in the algebraic dimension $a(X)$, which is by definition the transcendence degree of the field of meromorphic functions…

An index theorem for the anti-self-dual deformation complex on anti-self-dual orbifolds with cyclic quotient singularities is proved. We present two applications of this theorem. The first is to compute the dimension of the deformation…
