Secant defectivity of projective varieties is classically approached via dimensions of linear systems with multiple base points in general position. The latter can be studied via degenerations. We exploit a technique that allows some of the…

We introduce vector bundle techniques for finding equations of secant varieties. A test is established that determines when a secant variety is an irreducible component of the zero set of the equations found. We also prove an induction…

Let $E$ be an ample vector bundle of rank $r$ on a projective variety $X$ with only log-terminal singularities. We consider the nefness of adjoint divisors $K_X+(t-r)det(E)$ when $t>=dim(X)$ and $t>r$. As a corollary, we classify pairs…

After giving an explicit description of all the non vanishing Dolbeault cohomology groups of ample line bundles on grassmannians, I give two series of vanishing theorems for ample vector bundles on a smooth projective variety. They imply a…

By analyzing degeneracy loci over projectivized vector bundles, we recompute the degree of the discriminant locus of a vector bundle and provide a new proof of the Bogomolov instability theorem.

Let $\lambda =[d_1,\dots,d_r]$ be a partition of $d$. Consider the variety $\mathbb{X}_{2,\lambda} \subset \mathbb{P}^N$, $N={d+2 \choose 2}-1$, parameterizing forms $F\in k[x_0,x_1,x_2]_d$ which are the product of $r\geq 2$ forms…

We systematically study the splitting of vector bundles on a smooth, projective variety, whose restriction to the zero locus of a regular section of an ample vector bundle splits. First, we find ampleness and genericity conditions which…

In this article, we investigate Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on projective bundles over higher dimensional smooth projective varieties.

We generalize to vector bundles the techniques introduced for line bundles in prior work of the author with Liu, Osserman and Zhang. We then use this method to prove the injectivity of the Petri map for vector bundles and the surjectivity…

Let E be an elementary abelian p-group of rank r and let k be a field of characteristic p. We introduce functors F_i from finitely generated kE-modules of constant Jordan type to vector bundles over projective space of dimension r-1. The…

In this paper, we define vector bundles within the framework of almost mathematics (referred to as almost vector bundles) and establish the $v$-descent theorem together with a structure theorem for these bundles over perfectoid spaces. The…

We propose a new class of filtered vector bundles, which is related to variation of (mixed) Hodge structures and give a slight generalization of the Fujita--Zucker--Kawamata semipositivity theorem.

We introduce a method to produce bounds for the non secant defectivity of an arbitrary irreducible projective variety, once we know how its osculating spaces behave in families and when the linear projections from them are generically…

In an unpublished preprint, A. King conjectured that there are tilting bundles over projective varieties which are obtained as invariant quotients of affine spaces for linear actions of reductive groups. The goal of this paper is to give…

Let C be a projective smooth curve of genus g> 1. Let E be a vector bundle of rank r on C. For each integer r'<r, associate to E the invariant s_{r'}(E)=r'deg(E)-rdeg(E') where E'is a subbundle of E of rank r' and maximal degree. For every…

Let R be a discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field, and consider a smooth curve CK over the field of fractions K. For any positive integer r prime to the residual characteristic, we consider the finite K-group scheme…

The aim of the present paper is to investigate new classes of symplectically fat fibre bundles. We prove a general existence theorem for fat vectors with respect to the canonical invariant connections. Based on this result we give new…

We consider the locus of sections of a vector bundle on a projective scheme that vanish in higher dimension than expected. We show that after applying a high enough twist, any maximal component of this locus consists entirely of sections…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety $X$. We study the family of sections $s_t\in H^0(E\otimes L_t)$ where $L_t\in Pic^0(X)$ is a family of topologically trivial line bundle and $L_0=\mathcal O_X,$ that is, we…

Here we consider the product of varieties with $n$-blocks collections . We give some cohomological splitting conditions for rank 2 bundles. A cohomological characterization for vector bundles is also provided. The tools are Beilinson's type…
