We prove that any geometrically connected curve $X$ over a field $k$ is an algebraic $K(\pi,1)$, as soon as its geometric irreducible components have nonzero genus. This means that the cohomology of any locally constant constructible…
In these lectures we cover basics of the theory of heights starting with the heights in the projective space, heights of polynomials, and heights of the algebraic curves. We define the minimal height of binary forms and moduli height for…
For any admissible subcategory of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth proper variety, we prove that sections of the canonical bundle impose a strong constraint on the supports of the objects of the subcategory or…
In this paper, we want to study the link between the presence of compact objects with some analytic structure and the global geometry of a weakly complete surface. We begin with a brief survey of some now classic results on the local…
We study non-commutative projective lines over not necessarily algebraic bimodules. In particular, we give a complete description of their categories of coherent sheaves and show they are derived equivalent to certain bimodule species. This…
In this paper, we carry out several computations involving graded (or $\mathbb{G}_{\mathrm{m}}$-equivariant) perverse-coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone of a reductive group in good characteristic. In the first part of the paper, we…
In this paper we construct a geometric model for the triangulated category generated by the simple modules of any graded gentle algebra. This leads to a geometric model of their perfect derived categories and by a recent paper of Booth,…
These are notes on some algebraic geometry of complex projective curves, together with an application to studying the contact curves in CP^3 and the null curves in the complex quadric Q^3 in CP^4, related by the well-known Klein…
A point $p$ on a smooth complex projective curve $C$ of genus $g>3$ is subcanonical if the divisor $(2g-2)p$ is canonical. In the moduli space of pointed curves, the subcanonical locus is described by pairs $(C,p)$ as above, and it consists…
Suppose $C$ is a smooth projective curve of genus 1 over a perfect field $F$, and $E$ is its Jacobian. In the case that $C$ has no $F$-rational points, so that $C$ and $E$ are not isomorphic, $C$ is an $E$-torsor with a class $\delta(C)\in…
This paper introduces an abelian category of logarithmic coherent sheaves that arranges coherent sheaves across all expansions and root stacks of a simple normal crossing degeneration. Formally, logarithmic coherent sheaves are coherent…
We notice that, for branes wrapped on complex analytic subvarieties, the algebraic-geometric version of K-theory makes the identification between brane-antibrane pairs and lower-dimensional branes automatic. This is because coherent sheaves…
We study different notions of slope of a vector bundle over a smooth projective curve with respect to ampleness and affineness in order to apply this to tight closure problems. This method gives new degree estimates from above and from…
We investigate rank $3$ instanton vector bundles on $\mathbb{P}^3$ of charge $n$ and its correspondence with rational curves of degree $n+3$. For $n=2$ we present a correspondence between stable rank $3$ instanton bundles and stable rank…
Let X be a smooth projective complex variety, and let G be an algebraic reductive complex group. We define the notion of principal G-sheaf, that generalises the notion of principal G-bundle. Then we define a notion of semistability, and…
Progress on the problem whether the Hilbert schemes of locally Cohen-Macaulay curves in projective 3 space are connected has been hampered by the lack of an answer to a question that was raised by Robin Hartshorne in his paper "On the…
A Peano continuum means a locally connected continuum. A compact metric space is called a \emph{Peano compactum} if all its components are Peano continua and if for any constant $C>0$ all but finitely many of its components are of diameter…
We find some equivalences of the derived category of coherent sheaves on a Gorenstein genus one curve that preserve the (semi)-stability of pure dimensional sheaves. Using them we establish new identifications between certain Simpson moduli…
We construct a non-commutative scheme that behaves as if it is the space of Penrose tilings of the plane. Let k be a field and B=k<x,y>(y^2). We consider B as the homogeneous coordinate ring of a non-commutative projective scheme. The…
Originally a technical tool, the derived category of coherent sheaves over an algebraic variety has become over the last twenty years an important invariant in the birational study of algebraic varieties. Problems of birational invariance…
