In the moduli space of polarized varieties the same unpolarized variety can occur multiple times However, for K3 surfaces, compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds, and abelian varieties the number is finite. This may be viewed as a consequence of…

We construct relative and global Euler sequences of a module. We apply it to prove some acyclicity results of the Koszul complex of a module and to compute the cohomology of the sheaves of (relative and absolute) differential $p$-forms of a…
For a finitely presented discrete group $\Gamma$, we introduce two generalizations of the orbifold Euler characteristic and $\Gamma$-orbifold Euler characteristic to a class of proper topological groupoids large enough to include all…
We study deformation theory of elliptic fibre bundles over curves in positive characteristics. As applications, we give examples of non-liftable elliptic surfaces in charactertic two and three, which answers a question of Katsura and Ueno.…
Let $K$ be an arbitrary infinite field. The cohomology group $H^2(SL(2,K), H_2\,SL(2,K))$ contains the class of the universal central extension. When studying representations of fundamental groups of surfaces in $SL(2,K)$ it is useful to…
In this paper, our aim is to find the relations amongst the cohomology classes of Brill-Noether subvarieties of the moduli space of semistable bundles over an elliptic curve. We obtain results similar to the Poincar\'e relations on a…
We investigate space curves with large cohomology. To this end we introduce curves of subextremal type. This class includes all subextremal curves. Based on geometric and numerical characterizations of curves of subextremal type, we show…
We study hyperbolic cohomology classes in the general context of simplicial complexes and prove homological invariance statements for them. We relate the existence of hyperbolic cohomology classes to the non-amenability of the fundamental…
In this paper, we show that the cohomology of a general stable bundle on a Hirzebruch surface is determined by the Euler characteristic provided that the first Chern class satisfies necessary intersection conditions. More generally, we…
We study the cohomological properties of quasi-canonical lifts of an ordinary K3 surface over a finite field. As applications, we prove a Torelli type theorem for ordinary K3 surfaces over finite fields and establish the Hodge conjecture…
We study the infinitesimal rigidity of equivariant minimal maps from the universal cover of a smooth oriented surface (possibly non-compact) into a Riemannian symmetric space, focusing on representations arising from cyclic harmonic…
We apply our earlier work on the higher-dimensional analogue of the Mumford conjecture to two questions. Inspired by work of Ebert we prove non-triviality of certain characteristic classes of bundles of smooth closed manifolds. Inspired by…
We prove that on a general hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^N$ of degree $d$ and dimension at least $2$, if an arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) bundle $E$ and its dual have small regularity, then any non-trivial Hodge class in $H^{n}(X,…
Given two vector bundles E and F on a variety X and a morphism from Sym^2(E) to F, we compute the cohomology class of the locus in X where the kernel of this morphism contains a quadric of prescribed rank. Our formulas have many…
We prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rank 2 semistable torsion free sheaves (with a generic polarization and any value of c_2) on a K3 or a del Pezzo surface. In the case of a K3 surface, we need to prove a result on the…
In this article, the existence of Ulrich bundles on projective bundles $\mathbb P(E) \to X$ is discussed. In the case, that the base variety $X$ is a curve or surface, a close relationship between Ulrich bundles on $X$ and those on $\mathbb…
In this paper, we begin an investigation of infinite genus handlebodies, infinitely generated Schottky groups, and related uniformization questions by giving appropriate definitions for them. There are uncountably many topological types of…
We obtain the cohomology of the variational bicomplex on the infinite order jet space of a smooth fiber bundle in the class of exterior forms of finite jet order. This provides a solution of the global inverse problem of the calculus of…
Given a finite modular tensor category, we associate with each compact surface with boundary a cochain complex in such a way that the mapping class group of the surface acts projectively on its cohomology groups. In degree zero, this action…
