We prove that every projective variety of dimension n over a field of positive characteristic admits a morphism to projective n-space, etale away from the hyperplane H at infinity, which maps a chosen divisor into H and a chosen smooth…

In this paper we show that on a general sextic hypersurface $X\subset \bf P^4$, a rank 2 vector bundle $E$ splits if and only if $h^1(E(n))=0$ for any $n \in \bf Z$. We get thus a characterization of complete intersection curves in $X$

Consider a smooth complex surface $X$ which is a double cover of the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$ branched along a smooth curve of degree $2s$. In this article, we study the geometric conditions which are equivalent to the existence of…

We find a criterion for an effective divisor $D$ on a smooth surface to be left-orthogonal or strongly left-orthogonal (i.e. for the pair of line bundles $(\mathcal O,\mathcal O(D))$ to be exceptional or strong exceptional).

Let $(X,L)$ be an $n$-dimensional polarized variety. Fujita's conjecture says that if $L^n>1$ then the adjoint bundle $K_X+nL$ is spanned and $K_X+(n+1)L$ is very ample. There are some examples such that $K_X+nL$ is not spanned or…

A conjecture of Bondal-Polishchuk states that, in particular for the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety, the action of the braid group on full exceptional collections is transitive up to shifts. We…

We show that a generic real projective $n$-dimensional hypersurface of odd degree $d$, such that $4(n-2)=\binom{d+3}3$, contains "many" real 3-planes, namely, in the logarithmic scale their number has the same rate of growth, $d^3\log d$,…

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension d. It is classical that ample line bundles on X satisfy many beautiful geometric, cohomological, and numerical properties that render their behavior particularly tractable. By…

In this short note, we consider the conjecture that the log canonical divisor (resp. the anti-log canonical divisor) $K_X + \Delta$ (resp. $-(K_X + \Delta)$) on a pair $(X, \Delta)$ consisting of a complex projective manifold $X$ and a…

We construct log resolutions of pairs on the blow-up of the projective space in an arbitrary number of general points and we discuss the semi-ampleness of the strict transforms. As an application we prove that the abundance conjecture holds…

Let X be a smooth projective toric surface and L and M two line bundles on X. If L is ample and M is generated by global sections, then we show that the natural map from H^0(X,L) tensor H^0(X,M) to H^0(X, L tensor M) is surjective. We also…

We prove that a cyclic cover of a smooth complex projective variety is Brody hyperbolic if its branch divisor is a generic small deformation of a large enough multiple of a Brody hyperbolic base-point-free ample divisor. We also show the…

We propose a notion of instanton bundle (called $H$-instanton bundle) on any projective variety of dimension three polarized by a very ample divisor $H$, that naturally generalizes the ones on $\mathbb{P}^3$ and on the flag threefold…

Let $S$ be a non-uniruled (i.e., non-birationally ruled) smooth projective surface. We show that the tangent bundle $T_S$ is pseudo-effective if and only if the canonical divisor $K_S$ is nef and the second Chern class vanishes, i.e.,…

In this work we prove on a given smooth toric threefold all but finitely many ample line bundles are projectively normal.

A_k = {1, a_2, ... a_k} is an h-basis for n if every positive integer not exceeding n can be expressed as the sum of no more than h values a_i. An extremal h-basis A_k is one for which n is as large as possible. Computing extremal bases is…

We compute the facets of the effective and movable cones of divisors on the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n$ at $n+3$ points in general position. Given any linear system of hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{P}^n$ based at $n+3$ multiple points in general…

In this paper, we prove the ampleness conjecture and Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on K-trivial fourfolds. Specifically, we show that any strictly nef divisors on projective fourfolds with trivial canonical bundle and…

We work out properties of smooth projective varieties over a (not necessarily algebraically closed) field that admit collections of objects in the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves that are either full exceptional, or numerically…

In this paper we study holomorphic rank two vector bundles on the blow up of $ {\bf C}^2$ at the origin. A classical theorem of Birchoff and Grothendieck says that any holomorphic vector bundle on the projective plane ${\bf P}^1$ splits…
