We describe applications of Koszul cohomology to the Brill-Noether theory of rank 2 vector bundles. Among other things, we show that in every genus g>10, there exist curves invalidating Mercat's Conjecture for rank 2 bundles. On the other…

We improve Ottaviani's splitting criterion for vector bundles on a quadric hypersurface and obtain the equivalent of the result by Rao, Mohan Kumar and Peterson. Then we give the classification of rank 2 bundles without "inner" cohomology…

This paper contains results on stable bundles of rank 2 with space of sections of dimension 4 on a smooth irreducible projective algebraic curve $C$. There is a known lower bound on the degree for the existence of such bundles; the main…

In the present paper, we give an upper bound for the generic degree of the generalized Verschiebung between the moduli spaces of rank two stable bundles with trivial determinant.

We compute some Gromov-Witten invariants of the moduli space of odd degree rank two stable vector bundles over a Riemann surface of any genus. Next we find the first correction term for the quantum product of this moduli space and hence get…

The purpose of this paper is to apply previous work on dormant opers to the study of the moduli space of stable bundles in positive characteristic. We affirmatively resolve the rank $2$ case of a conjecture proposed by the second author,…

We propose a conjectural semiorthogonal decomposition for the derived category of the moduli space of stable rank 2 bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree, independently formulated by Narasimhan. We discuss some evidence for, and…

This work revolves around the question of whether a given resonance variety is associated with a vector bundle. We show the existence of a family of natural morphisms on a stratification of the resonance variety to a suitable family of a…

We prove two results about vector bundles on singular algebraic surfaces. First, on proper surfaces there are vector bundles of rank two with arbitrarily large second Chern number and fixed determinant. Second, on separated normal surfaces…

Mats Boij and Jonas Soederberg (math.AC/0611081) have conjectured that the Betti table of a Cohen-Macaulay module over a polynomial ring can be decomposed in a certain way as a positive linear combination of Betti tables of modules with…

We prove a rank-finiteness conjecture for modular categories: up to equivalence, there are only finitely many modular categories of any fixed rank. Our technical advance is a generalization of the Cauchy theorem in group theory to the…

We consider the problem of determining all pairs (c_1, c_2) of Chern classes of rank 2 bundles that are cokernel of a skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms in 3 variables, having constant rank 2c_1 and size 2c_1+2. We completely solve the…

Let $X$ be an ordinary smooth curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. The absolute Frobenius induces a rational map $F$ on the moduli space $M_X$ of rank 2 vector bundles with fixed trivial determinant. If the…

In this paper, we remove a technical hypothesis from a previous paper. This allows us to construct stable bundles of rank 2 with Clifford index significantly smaller than the classical Clifford index on suitably chosen curves of any genus…

In this paper we classify varieties of Picard number two having two projective bundle structures of any relative dimension, under the assumption that these structures are mutually uniform. As an application we prove the Campana--Peternell…

We present a conjecture for the Chow ring of the universal moduli stack of bundles over hyperelliptic curves and prove it for rank and genus two. Consequently, we obtain explicit generators and relations to conclude that the Chow ring is…

Consider the scheme B_{2,L}^k of stable vector bundles of rank two and fixed determinant L which have at least k sections. Under suitable numerical conditions and for generic L, we show the existence of a component of the expected dimension…

We continue previous works by various authors and study the birational geometry of moduli spaces of stable rank-two vector bundles on surfaces with Kodaira dimension $-\infty$. To this end, we express vector bundles as natural extensions,…

We prove that certain vector bundles over surfaces are ample if they are so when restricted to divisors, certain numerical criteria hold, and they are semistable (with respect to $\det(E)$). This result is a higher-rank version of a theorem…

We briefly review an open conjecture about Higgs bundles that are semistable with after pulling back to any curve, and prove it in the rank 2 case. We also prove a set of inequalities holding for H-nef Higgs bundles that generalize some of…
