A trigonal canonical curve lies on a rational normal surface scroll $Q \subset \mathbb{P}^{g-1}$. In this note we use this fact to compute the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of the normal bundle of a general such curve $C$ in…

We compute the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of vector bundles $f_*\mathcal O_Y$ for certain finite morphisms $f\,:\,Y\,\longrightarrow\, X$ and in some other cases.

We study the stability of the normal bundle of canonical genus $8$ curves and prove that on a general curve the bundle is stable. The proof rests on Mukai's description of these curves as linear sections of a Grassmannian $\mathrm{G}(2,6)$.…

Suppose that $X$ is a smooth projective variety and that $C$ is a general member of a family of free rational curves on $X$. We prove several statements showing that the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of $T_{X}|_{C}$ is approximately the same…

Let $C$ be a trigonal curve of genus $g\ge 5$ and let $T$ be the unique trigonal line bundle inducing a map $\pi: C \stackrel{3:1}{\longrightarrow} \mathbb{P}^1$. This note provides a short and easy proof of the normal generation for the…

Let $C \subset P^{g-1}$ be a smooth canonical curve of genus $g \geq 3$. The purpose of this article is to further develop a method to classify varieties having $C$ as their curve section, using Gaussian map computations. In a previous…

A decorated vector bundle is a vector bundle equipped with a reduction of structure group to a complex reductive subgroup $G \subseteq \mathbf{GL}(r,\mathbb{C})$. Examples include symplectic and special-orthogonal vector bundles, as well as…

Let $C\subset \mathbb{P}^{g-1}$ be a general curve of genus $g$ and let $k$ be a positive integer such that the Brill-Noether number $\rho(g,k,1)\geq 0$ and $g > k+1$. The aim of this short note is to study the relative canonical resolution…

We describe the Harder--Narasimhan filtration of the Hodge bundle for Teichm\"uller curves in the non-varying strata of quadratic differentials appearing in [CM2]. Moreover, we show that the Hodge bundle on the non-varying strata away from…

Given n general points p_1, p_2,..., p_n in P^r, it is natural to ask when there exists a curve C \subset P^r, of degree d and genus g, passing through p_1, p_2,..., p_n. In this paper, we give a complete answer to this question for curves…

Let $C$ be a smooth complex projective curve with canonical divisor $K_C$ very ample. We explore the relation between the cup-product $$ H^1 (\Theta_C ) \longrightarrow (H^0({\cal O}_C (K_C))^{\ast} \otimes H^1 ({\cal O}_C) $$ where…

The existence and uniqueness of H-N reduction for the Higgs principal bundles over nonsingular projective variety is shown. We also extend the notion of H-N reduction for (\Gamma, G)-bundles and ramified G-bundles over a smooth curve.

A curve $C$ on a variety $X$ is stably balanced if the slopes of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of its normal bundle $N$ are contained in an interval of length 1. For each $d\geq n+1$ we construct some regular families of pairs $(C, X)$…

Let $S \subset \mathbb{P}^g$ be a smooth $K3$ surface of degree $2g-2$, $g \geq 3$. We classify all the cases for which $h^0(\mathcal{N}_{S/\mathbb{P}^g}(-2)) \neq 0$ and the cases for which $h^0(\mathcal{N}_{S/\mathbb{P}^g}(-2)) <…

The Harder-Narasimhan theory provides a canonical filtration of a vector bundle on a projective curve whose successive quotients are semistable with strictly decreasing slopes. In this article, we present the formalization of…

Let $X$ be an elliptic curve over an algebraically closed field. We prove that some exact sub-categories of the category of vector bundles over $X$, defined using Harder-Narasimhan filtrations, have the same K-groups as the whole category.

Suppose that $\mathcal{E}$ is a vector bundle on a smooth projective variety $X$. Given a family of curves $C$ on $X$, we study how the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of $\mathcal{E}|_{C}$ changes as we vary $C$ in our family. Heuristically…

We define the Weierstrass filtration for Teichmuller curves and construct the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of the Hodge bundle of a Teichmuller curve in hyperelliptic loci and low-genus nonvarying strata. As a result we obtain the sum of…

The following corollary has been added: for general tetragonal curve $C$ of genus $g\ge 9$ the homogeneous coordinate ring of $C$ defined by the line bundle $K(-T)$, where $K$ is the canonical class, $T$ is the tetragonal series, is Koszul.…

Let $L$ be a very ample line bundle on a smooth curve $C$ of genus $g$ with $\frac{3g+3}{2}<\deg L\le 2g-5$. Then $L$ is normally generated if $\deg L>\max\{2g+2-4h^1(C,L), 2g-\frac{g-1}{6}-2h^1(C,L)\}$. Let $C$ be a triple covering of…
