We consider a general curve of fixed gonality k and genus g. We propose an estimate for the dimension of the variety $W^r_d(C)$ of special linear series on C, by solving an analogous problem in tropical geometry. Using work of Coppens and…
We extend a result by Fulton-Harris-Lazarsfeld in Brill-Noehter theory of line bundles and, as well, a result by Aprod-Sernesi in theory of Secant Loci, to the Brill-Noehter locus of stable bundles inside the moduli space of higher rank…
We develop a novel approach to the Brill-Noether theory of curves endowed with a degree k cover of the projective line via Bridgeland stability conditions on elliptic K3 surfaces. We first develop the Brill-Noether theory on elliptic K3…
Beauville asked if a compact K\"ahler manifold with split tangent bundle has a universal covering that is a product of manifolds. We use Mori theory and elementary results about holomorphic foliations to study this problem for projective…
We explore some of the interplay between Brill-Noether subvarieties of the moduli space SU_C(2,K) of rank 2 bundles with canonical determinant on a smooth projective curve and 2\theta divisors, via the inclusion of the moduli space into…
We study some natural linear systems carried by polarized Nikulin surfaces of genus g. We determine their positivity and establish their Brill-Noether theory. As an application, we compute the class of some natural effective divisors…
This paper deals with two problems about vector bundles on bielliptic surfaces. The first is to give a classification of Ulrich bundles on such surfaces $S$, which depends on the topological type of $S$. In doing so, we study the weak…
We introduce a variant of global generation for coherent sheaves on abelian varieties which, under certain circumstances, implies ampleness. This extends a criterion of Debarre asserting that a continuously globally generated coherent sheaf…
We study the induced Ekedahl-Oort stratification on the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_4$ of curves of genus $4$ in characteristic $3$. By constructing families of curves with given Ekedahl-Oort type and by computing the dimension of the…
Inside the projectivized $k$-th Hodge bundle, we construct a collection of divisors obtained by imposing vanishing at a Brill-Noether special point. We compute the classes of the closures of such divisors in two ways, using incidence…
Here we state a conjecture concerning a local version of Brunella's alternative: any codimension one foliation in $({\mathbb C}^3,0)$ without germ of invariant surface has a neighborhood of the origin formed by leaves containing a germ of…
We show by a uniform argument that every index one prime Fano threefold $X$ of genus $g\geq 6$ can be reconstructed as a Brill-Noether locus inside a Bridgeland moduli space of stable objects in the Kuznetsov component $\mathcal{K}u(X)$. As…
A Steiner bundle over the projective 3-space is the kernel in a trivial bundle of a morphism defined by a matrix of linear forms. We produce various Steiner bundles E of rank n such that E(1) has n-1 sections, the dependency locus of which…
In this note we use an example of Mukai to construct semistable bundles of rank 3 with 6 independent sections on a curve of genus 9 or 11 with Clifford index strictly less than the Clifford index of the curve. The example also allows us to…
We study singularities obtained by the contraction of the maximal divisor in compact (non kaehlerian) surfaces which contain global spherical shells. These singularities are of genus 1 or 2, may be Q-Gorenstein, numerically Gorenstein or…
Let U(r) be the moduli space of rank r vector bundles with trivial determinant on a smooth curve of genus 2. The map theta_r: U(r) -> |r Theta|, which associates to a general bundle its theta divisor, is generically finite. In this paper we…
A genus-g du Val curve is a degree-3g plane curve having 8 points of multiplicity g, one point of multiplicity g-1, and no other singularity. We prove that the corank of the Gauss-Wahl map of a general du Val curve of odd genus (>11) is…
By analogy with algebraic geometry, we define a category of non-linear sheaves (quasi-coherent homotopy-sheaves of topological spaces) on projective toric varieties and prove a splitting result for its algebraic K-theory, generalising…
We study the homogeneous irreducible Severi-Brauer varieties over an Abelian variety $A$. Such objects were classified by Brion, \cite{Bri}. Here we interpret that result within the context of cubical structures and biextensions for certain…
Let C be a smooth projective algebraic curve of genus g over the finite field F_q. A classical result of H. Martens states that the Brill-Noether locus of line bundles L in Pic^d C with deg L = d and h^0(L) >= i is of dimension at most…
