Consider a projective manifold X and suppose that some wedge power of the cotangent bundle contains a subsheaf whose determinant bundle has maximal Kodaira dimension. Then we prove that X is of general type. More generally we compute the…
For a given complex projective variety, the existence of entire curves is strongly constrained by the positivity properties of the cotangent bundle. The Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture stipulates that entire curves drawn on a variety of…
We show that Horrock's criterion for the splitting of vector bundles on $\PP^n$ can be extended to vector bundles on multiprojective spaces and to smooth projective varieties with the weak CM property (see Definition 3.11). As a main tool…
Assuming Hartshorne's conjecture on complete intersections, we classify projective bundles over projective spaces which has a smooth blow up structure over another projective space. Under some assumptions, we also classify projective…
Kontsevich's characteristic classes are invariants of framed smooth fiber bundles with homology sphere fibers. It was shown by Watanabe that they can be used to distinguish smooth $S^4$-bundles that are all trivial as topological fiber…
Given a morphism between complex projective varieties, we make several conjectures on the relations between the set of pseudo-effective (co)homology classes which are annihilated by pushforward and the set of classes of varieties contracted…
Let SU_X(3) be the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank 3 and trivial determinant on a curve X of genus 2. It maps onto P^8 and the map is a double cover branched over a sextic hypersurface called the Coble sextic. In the dual…
We propose singular variants of the Singer-Hopf conjecture, formulated in terms of the Euler-Mather characteristic, intersection homology Euler characteristic and, resp., virtual Euler characteristic of a closed irreducible subvariety of an…
We present a proof of the fact that in a symmetric monoidal category over a field of characteristic zero, objects with an invertible exterior power are rigid. As an application we prove two recent conjectures on dimensions in symmetric…
We compute the quadratic Euler characteristic of the symmetric powers of a smooth, projective curve over any field $k$ that is not of characteristic two, using the Motivic Gauss-Bonnet Theorem of Levine-Raksit. As an application, we show…
This paper investigates the cohomological property of vector bundles on biprojective space. We will give a criterion for a vector bundle to be isomorphic to the tensor product of pullbacks of exterior products of differential sheaves.
We study the structure of various invariants of the symmetric powers of a smooth projective curve in terms of that of the Jacobian of the curve. We generalise the results of Macdonald and Collino to various invariants including the…
This article is concerned with the convexity properties of universal covers of projective varieties. We study the relation between the convexity properties of the universal cover of X and the properties of the pullback map sending vector…
In this article we study the cohomological and homological (due to Jannsen) Hodge conjecture for singular varieties. The motivation for studying singular varieties comes from the fact that any smooth projective variety X is birational to a…
If a toric foliation on a projective Q-factorial toric variety has an extremal ray whose length is longer than the rank of the foliation, then the associated extremal contraction is a projective space bundle and the foliation is the…
We give a new proof of the Hodge conjecture for abelian fourfolds of Weil type with discriminant 1 and all of their powers. The Hodge conjecture for these abelian fourfolds was proven by Markman using hyperholomorphic sheaves on…
In \cite{Vakil13} Vakil and Wood made several conjectures on the topology of symmetric powers of geometrically irreducible varieties based on their computations on motivic zeta functions. Two of those conjectures are about subspaces of…
In this paper we examine different problems regarding complete intersection varieties of high degree in a complex projective space. First we show how one can deduce hyperbolicity for generic complete intersection of high multidegree and…
It was conjectured by Lang that a complex projective manifold is Kobayashi hyperbolic if and only if it is of general type together with all of its subvarieties. We verify this conjecture for projective manifolds whose universal cover…
Given a smooth genus three curve $C$, the moduli space of rank two stable vector bundles on C with trivial determinant embeds in $\mathbb{P}^8$ as a hypersurface whose singular locus is the Kummer threefold of $C$; this hypersurface is the…
