In this paper, we study the cohomology of vector bundles on projective space defined as kernels or cokernels of general maps $V_1 \to V_2$, where the $V_i$ are direct sums of line bundles or certain exceptional bundles. We prove an…
We give a construction of the moduli space of stable maps to the classifying stack B\mu_r of a cyclic group by a sequence of r-th root constructions on M_{0, n}. We prove a closed formula for the total Chern class of \mu_r-eigenspaces of…
Bott vanishing is a strong vanishing result for the cohomology of exterior powers of the cotangent bundle twisted by ample line bundles. Buch-Thomsen-Lauritzen-Mehta conjectured that partial flag varieties (which are not products of…
Inspired by the methods of Voisin, the first two authors recently proved that one could read off the gonality of a curve C from the syzygies of its ideal in any one embedding of sufficiently large degree. This was deduced from from a…
Let $\MS_g$ be the moduli space of stable holomorphic vector bundles of rank 2 and fixed determinant of odd degree over a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$. This paper proves various properties of the rational cohomology ring…
A strong version of the quantization conjecture of Guillemin and Sternberg is proved. For a reductive group action on a smooth, compact, polarized variety (X,L), the cohomologies of L over the GIT quotient X // G equal the invariant part of…
We prove a general vanishing theorem for the cohomology of products of symmetric and skew-symmetric powers of an ample vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety. Special cases include an extension of classical theorems of…
Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group that acts on a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and let $E$ be a $G$-equivariant algebraic vector bundle over $X$. A section of $E$ is regular if it is transversal to the zero…
On the bundles of WZW chiral blocks over the moduli space of a punctured rational curve we construct isomorphisms that implement the action of outer automorphisms of the underlying affine Lie algebra. These bundle-isomorphisms respect the…
We prove that the $\ell$-adic Chern classes of canonical extensions of automorphic vector bundles, over toroidal compactifications of Shimura varieties of Hodge type over $\bar{ \mathbb{Q}}_p$, descend to classes in the $\ell$-adic…
We use vanishing results for sheaf cohomology on Siegel modular varieties to study two lifting problems: (a) When can Siegel modular forms (mod p) be lifted to characteristic zero? This uses and extends previous results for cusp forms by…
We study certain moduli spaces of stable vector bundles of rank two on cubic and quartic threefolds. In many cases under consideration, it turns out that the moduli space is complete and irreducible and a general member has vanishing…
We show that every bad orbifold vector bundle can be realized as the restriction of a good orbifold vector bundle to a suborbifold of the base space. We give an explicit construction of this result in which the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology…
There is a long-standing conjecture which states that every uniform algebraic vector bundle of rank $r<2n$ on the $n$-dimensional projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ is homogeneous. This…
We study the null-cone of a semi-simple algebraic group acting on a number of copies of its Lie algebra via the diagonal adjoint action. We show that the null cone has rational singularities in the case of SL3. We observe by example that…
Scheme-theoretic methods are used to classify ternary quadratic forms with values in line bundles over arbitrary schemes and to canonically determine the isomorphisms between them. The association of a quadratic bundle to its even Clifford…
The paper investigates vanishing conditions on the first cohomology module of a normalized rank 2 vector bundle E on P^3 which force E to split, and finds therefore strategic levels of non-vanishing for a non-split bundle. The present…
While vector-valued automorphic forms can be defined for an arbitrary Fuchsian group $\Gamma$ and an arbitrary representation $R$ of $\Gamma$ in GL$(n,{\mathbb C})$, their existence has been established in the literature only when…
We prove vanishing results for the $0$th cohomology of automorphic line bundles on the Ekedahl--Oort strata of the special fiber of Hilbert--Blumenthal Shimura varieties. This work vastly extends to all Ekedahl--Oort strata previous results…
In this paper we consider the category $C (\tilde k, \tilde H)$ of the $(\tilde k, \tilde H)$-modules, including all the Verma modules, where $k$ is some compact Lie algebra and H some Cartan subgroup, $\tilde k$ and $\tilde H$ are the…
