We prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rank 2 semistable torsion free sheaves (with a generic polarization and any value of c_2) on a K3 or a del Pezzo surface. In the case of a K3 surface, we need to prove a result on the…

In this paper, complex vector bundles of rank $r$ over $8$-dimensional spin$^{c}$ manifolds are classified in terms of the Chern classes of the complex vector bundles and the cohomology ring of the manifolds, where $r = 3$ or $4$. As an…

We investigate the existence of globally generated vector bundles of rank 2 with $c_1\leq 3$ on a smooth quadric threefold and determine their Chern classes. As an automatic consequence, every rank 2 globally generated vector bundle on $Q$…

A plane curve C defined by a homogeneous polynomial satisfying Laplace's equation appears canonically as the vanishing of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms. As a consequence there is a natural semi-stable rank two…

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold of dimension $n\ge 2$ and $\ce$ an ample vector bundle of rank $r<n$ on $X$. As the continuation of Part I, we further study the properties of $g(X,\ce)$ that is an invariant for pairs $(X,\ce)$ and is…

A conjecture of Manin predicts the asymptotic distribution of rational points of bounded height on Fano varieties. In this paper we use conic bundles to obtain correct lower bounds or a wide class of surfaces over number fields for which…

In this paper we study standard graded artinian level algebras, in particular those whose socle-vector has type 2. Our main results are: the characterization of the level $h$-vectors of the form $(1,r,...,r,2)$ for $r\leq 4$; the…

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…

Smooth complex surfaces polarized with an ample and globally generated line bundle of degree three and four, such that the adjoint bundle is not globally generated, are considered. Scrolls of a vector bundle over a smooth curve are shown to…

In this first of a series of three papers we outline an approach to classifying 4d $\mathcal{N}{=}2$ superconformal field theories at rank 2. The classification of allowed scale invariant $\mathcal{N}=2$ Coulomb branch geometries of…

In this paper we study the Brill Noether locus of rank 2, (semi)stable vector bundles with at least two sections and of suitable degrees on a general $\nu$-gonal curve. We classify its reduced components whose dimensions are at least the…

We prove that a double cover of $\mathbb{P}^2$ ramified along a general smooth curve B of degree $2s$, for $s \geq 3$, supports a rank 2 special Ulrich bundle.

Mathematical instanton bundles of rank 4 and $c_2=2$ on ${\mathbb P}^4$ have a smoothquasiprojective moduli space, which is shown via a direct GIT construction. A complete classification of jumping lines of these vector bundles is obtained.…

In the present note we use rank-2-bundles over ${\bb P}^3$ to construct octic hypersurfaces with many nodes. We give an example with 128 nodes.

Since Schwarzenberger and his celebrated paper called "Vector bundles on the projective plane" we know that any rank two vector bundle on $\P^2$ is a direct image of a line bundle on a double covering of the plane. This theorem suggests to…

We classify RDP del Pezzo surfaces with global vector fields over arbitrary algebraically closed fields of characteristic $p \neq 2$. In characteristic $0$, every RDP del Pezzo surface $X$ is equivariant, that is, ${\rm Aut}_X = {\rm…

We investigate a geometric criterion for a smooth curve $C$ of genus $14$ and degree $18$ to be described as the zero locus of sections in an Ulrich bundle of rank $3$ on a del Pezzo threefold $V_5 \subset \mathbb{P}^6$. The main challenge…

In this note we consider the moduli space of stable bundles of rank two on a very general quintic surface. We study the potentially obstructed points of the moduli space via the spectral covering of a twisted endomorphism. This analysis…
