Let C be a Brill-Noether-Petri curve of genus g\geq 12. We prove that C lies on a polarized K3 surface, or on a limit thereof, if and only if the Gauss-Wahl map for C is not surjective. The proof is obtained by studying the validity of two…

We show that the strata $ \mathcal{M}_{11,6}(k) \subset \mathcal{M}_{11} $ of $ 6-$gonal curves of genus $ 11 $, equipped with $k$ mutually independent and type I pencils of degree six, have a unirational irreducible component for $5\leq…

We provide a new class of Z_N x Z_M heterotic orbifolds on non-factorisable tori, whose boundary conditions are defined by Lie lattices. Generally, point groups of these orbifolds are generated by Weyl reflections and outer automorphisms of…

We prove that square-tiled surfaces having fixed combinatorics of horizontal cylinder decomposition and tiled with smaller and smaller squares become asymptotically equidistributed in any ambient linear $GL(\mathbb R)$-invariant suborbifold…

We present a Prym analogue of Lazarsfeld's result that curves on general polarized K3 surfaces verify the Brill-Noether Theorem, or equivalently, that their canonical embedding has no unexpected secants. We show that the Prym-canonical…

We state conjectures on the asymptotic behavior of the volumes of moduli spaces of Abelian differentials and their Siegel-Veech constants as genus tends to infinity. We provide certain numerical evidence, describe recent advances and the…

Let $X$ be a del Pezzo surface. When the degree of $X$ is at least 4, we compute the cohomology of a general sheaf in the moduli space of Gieseker semistable sheaves. We also classify the Chern characters for which the general sheaf in the…

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…

In this paper we give a simple Torelli type theorem for curves of genus 6 and 8 by showing that these curves can be reconstructed from their Brill-Noether varieties. Among other results, it is shown that the focal variety of a general,…

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…

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…

We describe the closure of the strata of abelian differentials with prescribed type of zeros and poles, in the projectivized Hodge bundle over the Deligne-Mumford moduli space of stable curves with marked points. We provide an explicit…

Mukai showed that projective models of Brill-Noether general polarized K3 surfaces of genus $6-10$ and $12$ are obtained as linear sections of projective homogeneous varieties, and that their hyperplane sections are Brill-Noether general…

We extend the concept of Segre's Invariant to vector bundles on a surface $X$. For $X=\mathbb{P}^2$ we determine what numbers can appear as the Segre Invariant of a rank $2$ vector bundle with given Chern's classes. The irreducibility of…

We describe the loci of non-rationally smooth (nrs) points and of singular points for any non-spiral Schubert variety of $\tilde{A}_2$ in terms of the geometry of the (affine) Weyl group action on the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Together with the…

We provide a bound on the $\Theta$-regularity of an arbitrary reduced and irreducible curve embedded in a polarized abelian variety in terms of its degree and codimension. This is an "abelian" version of Gruson-Lazarsfeld-Peskine's bound on…

We survey basic results concerning Prym varieties, the Prym-Brill-Noether theory initiated by Welters, and Brill-Noether theory of general \'etale double covers of curves of genus g>=2. We then specialize to curves on Nikulin surfaces and…

We prove a Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for the determinantal loci of a morphism between two holomorphic vector bundles $E$ and $F$ over a complex manifold under the condition that $E^*\ox F$ is Griffiths $k$-positive. We apply this result…

We use results of M. Aprodu and E. Sernesi to extend a result by Fulton--Harris--Lazarsfeld in Brill--Noether theory of line bundles %and, as well, a result by Aprod-Sernesi in theory of Secant Loci, to Brill--Noether loci of stable bundles…

We compute the rational cohomology groups of the smooth Brill-Noether varieties $G^r_d(C)$, parametrizing linear series of degree $d$ and dimension exactly $r$ on a general curve $C$. As an application, we determine the whole intersection…
