In this paper, we prove that the tangent bundle of the moduli space $\cSU_C(r,d)$ of stable bundles of rank $r>2$ and of fixed determinant of degree $d$ (such that $(r,d)=1$), on a smooth projective curve $C$ is always stable, in the sense…

We study moduli of coherent sheaves of some given degree and positive rank on a curve. We show that there is only one nonempty open condition on families of sheaves that yields a universally closed adequate moduli space, namely, the one…

A Verlinde space of level $k$ is the space of global sections of the $k$-th power of the determinant line bundle on the moduli space $\cSU_C(r)$ of semi-stable bundles of rank $r$ on a curve $C$. The aim of this note is to make accessible…

We study moduli of semistable twisted sheaves on smooth proper morphisms of algebraic spaces. In the case of a relative curve or surface, we prove results on the structure of these spaces. For curves, they are essentially isomorphic to…

Families of stable curves of genus $\gamma$ over a smooth curve $C$ correspond to morphisms from $C$ to the moduli stack of stable curves $\bar{\cal M}_\gamma$. It is natural to compactify the corresponding moduli problem using stable maps…

In this article, we prove the Hodge conjecture for a desingularization of the moduli space of rank 2, semi-stable, torsion-free sheaves with fixed odd degree determinant over a very general irreducible nodal curve of genus at least 2. We…

We prove the rationality and irreducibility of the moduli space of mathematical instanton vector bundles of arbitrary rank and charge on $\mathbb P^3$. In particular, the result applies to the rank-2 case. This problem was first studied by…

We propose a three-step program for the classification of stable rank 2 bundles on the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$ inspired by an article by Hartshorne and Rao. While this classification program has been successfully completed for…

Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve. Recently, Pauly and Pe\'on-Nieto shows that a vector bundle over $X$ is very stable if and only if the Hitchin map on the vector space of Higgs field on that vector bundle is proper. In this…

In this paper we prove that, for every $r \geq 2$, the moduli space $M^s_X(r;c_1,c_2)$ of rank $r$ stable vector bundles with Chern classes $c_1=rH$ and $c_2=(3r^2-r)/2$ on a nonsingular cubic surface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^3$ contains a…

We determine the splitting type of the Verlinde vector bundles in higher genus in terms of simple semihomogeneous factors. In agreement with strange duality, the simple factors are interchanged by the Fourier-Mukai transform, and their…

Let $X$ be any smooth simply connected projective surface. We consider some moduli space of pure sheaves of dimension one on $X$, i.e. $\mhu$ with $u=(0,L,\chi(u)=0)$ and $L$ an effective line bundle on $X$, together with a series of…

Let $M(n,\xi)$ be the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank $n\geq 3$ and fixed determinant $\xi$ over a smooth projective algebraic curve $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$ of genus $g\geq 4.$ We use the gonality of the curve and $r$-Hecke…

In this paper, it is proved that certain stable rank-3 vector bundles can be written as extensions of line bundles and stable rank-2 bundles. As an application, we show the rationality of certain moduli spaces of stable rank-3 bundles over…

We prove that the normalized Poincar\'e bundle on the moduli space of stable rank $r$ vector bundles with a fixed determinant on a smooth projective curve $X$ induces a family of nef vector bundles on the moduli space. Two applications…

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g>1 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. Pull-back by the (absolute) Frobenius on X only defines a rational morphism on the moduli scheme of rank-2 vector bundles on X, because…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective complex curve of genus $g \geq 2$ and let $\M_X(2,\Lambda)$ be the moduli space of semi-stable rank-$2$ vector bundles over $X$ with fixed determinant $\Lambda$. We show that the wobbly locus, i.e., the locus…

We construct moduli stacks of stable sheaves for surfaces fibered over marked nodal curves by using expanded degenerations. These moduli stacks carry a virtual class and therefore give rise to enumerative invariants. In the case of a…
