We prove an existence theorem for gauge invariant $L^2$-normal neighborhoods of the reduction loci in the space ${\cal A}_a(E)$ of oriented connections on a fixed Hermitian 2-bundle $E$. We use this to obtain results on the topology of the…

The main problem addressed in the paper is the Torelli problem for n-dimensional varieties of general type, more specifically for varieties with ample canonical bundle. It asks under which geometrical condition for a variety the period map…

By fibering the duality between the $E_{8}\times E_{8}$ heterotic string on $T^{3}$ and M-theory on K3, we study heterotic duals of M-theory compactified on $G_{2}$ orbifolds of the form $T^{7}/\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{3}$. While the heterotic…

We describe a vector bundle $\sE$ on a smooth $n$-dimensional ACM variety in terms of its cohomological invariants $H^i_*(\sE)$, $1\leq i \leq n-1$, and certain graded modules of "socle elements" built from $\sE$. In this way we give a…

Consider a holomorphic torus action on vector bundles over a complex manifold which lifts to a holomorphic vector bundle. When the connected components of the fixed-point set are partially ordered, we construct, using sheaf-theoretical…

We use moduli spaces of instantons and Chern-Simons invariants of flat connections to prove that the Whitehead doubles of (2,2^n-1) torus knots are independent in the smooth knot concordance group; that is, they freely generate a subgroup…

We describe the simplest example of an instanton bag in Euclidean space. It consists of a monopole wall and a Kaluza-Klein monopole wall, lifted to one higher dimension, trapping the instanton charge in the middle. This object has finite…

In this paper we study ACM vector bundles $\E$ of rank $k \geq 3$ on hypersurfaces $X_r \subset\Pj^4$ of degree $r \geq 1$. We consider here mainly the case of degree $r = 4$, which is the first unknown case in literature. Under some…

Motivated by Yang-Mills theory in 4n dimensions, and generalizing the notion due to Atiyah, Drinfeld, Hitchin and Manin for n=1, Okonek, Spindler and Trautmann introduced instanton bundles and special instanton bundles as certain algebraic…

We present a novel approach to the study of Yang-Mills instantons on quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds, based on an extension of the harmonic space method of constructing instantons on hyperk\"ahler manifolds. Our results establish a…

Let h be a Real bundle, in the sense of Atiyah, over a space X. This is a complex vector bundle together with an involution which is compatible with complex conjugation. We use the fact that BU is equipped with a structure of conjugation…

Explicit construction of the basic SU(2) anti-instantons over the multi-Taub--NUT geometry via the classical conformal rescaling method is exhibited. These anti-instantons satisfiy the so-called weak holonomy condition at infinity with…

This work is a continuation of the former paper in which principal bundles are given by compact spin toric manifolds and compact connected semisimple Lie groups. In this paper, ambient manifolds are assumed to be compact toric manifolds and…

Let K be a a Lie group, modeled on a locally convex space, and M a finite-dimensional paracompact manifold with corners. We show that each continuous principal K-bundle over M is continuously equivalent to a smooth one and that two smooth…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ over the complex numbers. A holomorphic triple $(E_1,E_2,\phi)$ on $X$ consists of two holomorphic vector bundles $E_1$ and $E_2$ over $X$ and a holomorphic map $\phi:E_2 \to E_1$.…

We study line bundles on toric DM stacks $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbf{\Sigma}}$ of dimension two. We give a combinatorial criterion of when infinitely many line bundles on $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbf{\Sigma}}$ have trivial cohomology. We further discuss…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a moduli space of polystable rank 2-bundles bundles with fixed determinant (a moduli space of $\mathrm{PU}(2)$-instantons) on a Gauduchon surface with $p_g=0$ and $b_1=1$. We study the holomorphic structure of…

We prove existence and unicity of slope stable vector bundles on a general polarized hyperk\"ahler (HK) variety of type $K3^{[n]}$ with certain discrete invariants, provided the rank and the first two Chern classes of the vector bundle…

Let $C \subset \mathbb{P}^2$ be an irreducible and reduced curve of degree $e > 0$. Let $X$ be the blow up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at $r$ distinct smooth points $p_1,\ldots,p_r \in C$. We study line bundles on $X$ and establish conditions for…

We introduce noncommutative algebras $A_q$ of quantum 4-spheres $S^4_q$, with $q\in\IR$, defined via a suspension of the quantum group $SU_q(2)$, and a quantum instanton bundle described by a selfadjoint idempotent $e\in \Mat_4(A_q)$,…
