Let $C$ be a general canonical curve of genus $g$ defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. We prove that if $g \notin \{4,6\}$, then the normal bundle of $C$ is semistable. In particular, if $g \equiv 1$ or…

We give an example of an orthogonal bundle where the Harder-Narasimhan filtration, with respect to Gieseker semistability, of its underlying vector bundle does not correspond to any parabolic reduction of the orthogonal bundle. A similar…

We get an upper bound of the slope of each graded quotient for the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of the Hodge bundle of a Teichm\"{u}ller curve. As an application, we show that the sum of Lyapunov exponents of a Teichm\"{u}ller curve does…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 11$, non-tetragonal, considered in its canonical embedding in $\mathbf{P}^{g-1}$. We prove that $C$ is a linear section of an arithmetically Gorenstein normal variety $Y$ in…

Let $X$ be a projective variety and let $C$ be a rational normal curve on $X$. We compute the normal bundle of $C$ in a general complete intersection of hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree in $X$. As a result, we establish the…

We determine the splitting (isomorphism) type of the normal bundle of a generic genus-0 curve with 1 or 2 components in any projective space, as well as the (sometimes nontrivial) way the bundle deforms locally with a general deformation of…

A canonically-embedded curve of genus $g$ is a pure 1-dimensional, non-degenerate subscheme $C$ of ${\bf P}^{g-1}$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, for which ${\cal O}_C(1) \cong \omega_C$, (the dualizing sheaf)$ and $h^0(C, {\cal…

Let $C\subset \mathbb {P}^n$ be a smooth curve and $N_C$ its normal bundle. $N_C$ satisfies strong interpolation if for all integers $s>0$ and $\lambda _i\in \{0,1,\dots ,n-1\}$, $1\le i \le s$, there are distinct points $P_1,\dots ,P_s\in…

In projective space over fields of characteristic different from 2, the normal bundle of a general nondegenerate rational curve is balanced. The corresponding statement for rational curves in other Grassmannians can fail. Nevertheless, we…

We investigate the modular properties of nodal curves on a low genus K3 surface. We prove that a general genus g curve C is the normalization of a d-nodal curve X sitting on a primitively polarized K3 surface S of degree 2p-2, for p any…

Given a complex projective manifold $X$ and a divisor $D$ with normal crossings, we say that the logarithmic tangent bundle $T_X(-\log D)$ is R-flat if its pull-back to the normalization of any rational curve contained in $X$ is the trivial…

We introduce and study the Chern filtration on the cohomology of the moduli of bundles on curves. This can be viewed as a natural cohomological invariant defined via tautological classes that interpolates between additive Betti numbers and…

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g \geq 2 defined over a field of characteristic two. We give examples of stable orthogonal bundles with unstable underlying vector bundles and use them to give counterexamples to Behrend's…

We establish in this article convergence results of normalized Harder-Narasimhan polygons both in geometric and in arithmetic frameworks by introducing the Harder-Narasimhan filtration indexed by $\mathbb R$ and the associated Borel…

This article is a generalisation of results of Ciliberto and Sernesi. For a general canonically embedded curve $C$ of genus $g\geq 5$, let $d\le g-1$ be an integer such that the Brill--Noether number $\rho(g,d,1)=g-2(g-d+1)\geq 1$. We study…

For any family of principal bundles with a reductive structure group G on a family X/S of smooth projective varieties in characteristic zero, it is known that the parameter scheme S has a set theoretic stratification by locally closed…

We define canonical refinements of Harder-Narasimhan filtrations and stratifications in moduli theory, generalising and relating work of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pandit and Kirwan. More precisely, we define a canonical stratification on…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve and let $E$ be a vector bundle on $X$ which is not semistable. We consider a flag bundle $\pi: \text{Fl}(E) \to X$ parametrizing certain flags of fibers of $E$. The dimensions of the successive…

Consider $E$ a vector bundle over a smooth curve $C$. We compute the $\delta$-invariant of all ample ($\mathbb{Q}$-) line bundles on $\mathbb{P}(E)$ when $E$ is strictly Mumford semistable. We also investigate the case when one assumes that…

In the present notes we provide a new uniform way to compute a canonical p-dimension of a split algebraic group G for a torsion prime p using degrees of basic polynomial invariants described by V.Kac. As an application, we compute the…
