In this article we prove a finiteness result on the number of log minimal models for $3$-folds in char $p>5$. We then use this result to prove a version of Batyrev's conjecture on the structure of nef cone of curves on $3$-folds in…

In the round 6-sphere, null-torsion holomorphic curves are fundamental examples of minimal surfaces. This class of minimal surfaces is quite rich: By a theorem of Bryant, extended by Rowland, every closed Riemann surface may be conformally…

Clifford indices for semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective curve of genus at least 4 were defined in previous papers of the authors. In the present paper, we establish lower bounds for the Clifford indices for rank 3 bundles. As…

We give an almost complete classification of Ulrich bundles $\mathcal E$ with $c_2(\mathcal E)^2=0$ on a variety $X$ of dimension $n \ge 4$. Moreover, we show that there are strong constraints on the geometry of $X$ and we study…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g\ge 2$ over a discrete valuation field $K$ with perfect residue field. We study the minimal Weierstrass models of $C$. When there is more than one such model, we find interesting properties on the…

We study in this paper a new family of stable algebraic symplectic vector bundles of rank $ 2n $ on the complex projective space $P^{2n+1}$ whose classical null correlation bundles belongs. We show that these bundles are invariant under a…

Suppose that $\mathbf{C}_0^n \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is a smooth strictly minimizing and strictly stable minimal hypercone, $l \geq 0$, and $M$ a complete embedded minimal hypersurface of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1+l}$ lying to one side of…

We study of the shape of a compact singular minimal surface in terms of the geometry of its boundary, asking what type of {\it a priori} information can be obtained on the surface from the knowledge of its boundary. We derive estimates of…

We prove a relative version of the fact that semiorthogonal decompositions of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves are strongly constrained by the base locus of the canonical linear system. As an application we prove that the…

For each of n=1,2,3 we find the minimal height h^(P) of a nontorsion point P of an elliptic curve E over C(T) of discriminant degree d=12n (equivalently, of arithmetic genus n), and exhibit all (E,P) attaining this minimum. The minimal…

In this article we study the Gieseker-Maruyama moduli spaces $\mathcal{B}(e,n)$ of stable rank 2 algebraic vector bundles with Chern classes $c_1=e\in\{-1,0\},\ c_2=n\ge1$ on the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$. We construct two new…

Fix integers $a\geq 1$, $b$ and $c$. We prove that for certain projective varieties $V\subset{\bold P}^r$ (e.g. certain possibly singular complete intersections), there are only finitely many components of the Hilbert scheme parametrizing…

Let $X_0$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve defined over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ and $f_0 : X_0 \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1_{\overline{\mathbb Q}}$ a nonconstant morphism whose branch locus is contained in the subset $\{0,1, \infty\}…

A minimal counterexample to the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as conjecture is a graph of minimum possible order and size with minimum degree at least 3 that contains no cycle whose length is a power of 2. Markstr\"om observed that any such graph must…

We study minimal surfaces in generic sub-Riemannian manifolds with sub-Riemannian structures of co-rank one. These surfaces can be defined as the critical points of the so-called {\it horizontal} area functional associated to the canonical…

In this note, we use a result of Osserman and Schiffer \cite{OS} to give a variational characterization of the catenoid. Namely, we show that subsets of the catenoid minimize area within a geometrically natural class of minimal annuli. To…

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 study semi-stable sheaves of rank $2$ with Chern class $c_1=0$, $c_2=2$ and $c_3=0$ on the Fano 3-folds $V_4$ of Picard number $1$, degree $4$ and index $2$. We show the moduli space of such sheaves is isomorphic to the moduli space of…

If $C \subset P^3_k$ is an integral curve and $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, it is known that the points of the general plane section $C \cap H$ of $C$ are in uniform position. From this it follows easily that the…

Let $M(2,\textbf{\underline{w}},\chi)$ be the moduli space of rank $2$ torsion-free sheaves over a reducible nodal curve with each component having utmost two nodal singularities. We show that in each component of…
