We characterize genus g canonical curves by the vanishing of combinatorial products of g+1 determinants of Brill-Noether matrices. This also implies the characterization of canonical curves in terms of (g-2)(g-3)/2 theta identities. A…

We completely classify all subbundles of a given vector bundle on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. Our classification is given in terms of a simple and explicit condition on Harder-Narasimhan polygons. Our proof is inspired by the proof of the…

We prove a conjecture by F. Ferrari. Let X be the total space of a nonlinear deformation of a rank 2 holomorphic vector bundle on a smooth rational curve, such that X has trivial canonical bundle and has sections. Then the normal bundle to…

We study the gonality of curves $C$ over $\mathbb C$ whose normalization is composed of one or two copies of $\mathbb P^1$. In the first case, $C$ is a nodal curve with $g(C)$ nodes, and in the second case $C$ is a so-called binary curve.…

Let X be a smooth projective curve over an algebraic closed field of characteristic p and F be the Frobenius morphism of X. Here, I give a negative answer to the guess that the length of the Harder-Narasimhan of F*W is not bigger than p,…

Let G=SL(E) be the special linear algebraic group on E where E is a finite dimensional vector space over a field K of characteristic zero. In this paper we study the canonical filtration of the dual G-module of global sections of a…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve, and let $E$ be a vector bundle on $X$ which is not semistable. For a suitably chosen integer $r$, let $\text{Gr}(E)$ be the Grassmann bundle over $X$ that parametrizes the quotients of the…

In this note we consider the flat bundle U and the kernel K of the Higgs field naturally associated to any (polarized) variation of Hodge structures of weight 1. We study how strict the inclusion of U in K can be in the geometric case. More…

Let $C$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g \,\geq\, 2$ and $C_d$ its $d$-fold symmetric product. In this paper, we study the question of semi-orthogonal decomposition of the derived category of $C_d$. This entails…

In this short note we provide explicit examples in characteristic $p$ on certain smooth projective curves where for a given semistable vector bundle $\mathcal{E}$ the length of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of $F^\ast \mathcal{E}$ is…

Let (C, p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_n) be a general marked curve of genus g, and q_1, q_2, ..., q_n \in P^r be a general collection of points. We determine when there exists a nondegenerate degree d map f : C \to P^r so that f(p_i) = q_i for all i.…

We show that any tetragonal Gorenstein integral curve is a complete intersection in its respective $3$-fold rational normal scroll S, implying that the normal sheaf on $C$ embedded in S, and in $\mathbb{P}^{g-1}$ as well, is unstable for…

Let G be a complex connected reductive group. The representation ring R(G) admits a canonical filtration defined in terms of the lambda-structure. We compute the associated graded ring gr R(G) (over Q) and the Chern classes of a…

Let $G$ be a split reductive group over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic, chosen suitably. Let $X\to S$ be a smooth projective morphism of locally noetherian $k$-schemes, with geometrically connected fibers. We show that for each…

Generalizing work done by Miyaoka and others in the case of divisors and of curves, we compute the cones of effective cycles of arbitrary dimension on a projective bundle over a complex projective curve in terms of the numerical data in an…

We study the gonality and canonical model of a rational unicuspidal curve C. We are mainly interested in the case where C is non-Gorenstein. We classify such curves via different notions of gonality, and by its canonical model C', up to…

Let $C \s \pr^2$ be an irreducible plane curve whose dual $C^* \s \pr^{2*}$ is an immersed curve which is neither a conic nor a nodal cubic. The main result states that the Poincar\'e group $\pi_1(\pr^2 \se C)$ contains a free group with…

In this article, we give a description of the closed cone of curves of the projective bundle $\mathbb{P}(E)$ over a smooth projective variety $X$. Using duality, we then calculate the nef cone of divisors in $\mathbb{P}(E)$ over some…
