We study ample vector bundles on smooth projective stacks. In particular, we prove that the tangent bundle for the weighted projective stack $\mathbb{P}(a_0,...,a_n)$ is ample. A result of Mori shows that the only smooth projective…
Several authors have recently constructed characteristic classes for classes of infinite rank vector bundles appearing in topology and physics. These include the tangent bundle to the space of maps between closed manifolds, the infinite…
We examine the bundle structure of the field of nowhere vanishing null vector fields on a (time-oriented) Lorentzian manifold. Sections of what we refer to as the null tangent, are by definition nowhere vanishing null vector fields. It is…
Many papers are devoted to study logarithmic sheaves associated to reduced divisors, in particular logarithmic bundles associated to plane curves since forty years in differential and algebraic topology or geometry. An interesting family of…
We show how the tangent bundle decomposition generated by a system of ordinary differential equations may be generalized to the case of a system of second order PDEs `of connection type'. Whereas for ODEs the decomposition is intrinsic, for…
We study complex compact Kaehler manifolds $X$ carrying a contact structure. If $X$ is almost homogeneous and $b_2(X) \geq 2$, then $X$ is a projectivised tangent bundle (this was known in the projective case even without assumption on the…
We complete our recent classification of compact inner symmetric spaces with weakly complex tangent bundle by filling up a case which was left open, and extend this classification to the larger category of compact homogeneous spaces with…
The tangent bundle $T^kM$ of order $k$, of a smooth Banach manifold $M$ consists of all equivalent classes of curves that agree up to their accelerations of order $k$. For a Banach manifold $M$ and a natural number $k$ first we determine a…
A Steiner bundle is a vector bundle on projective space arising as the cokernel of the map defined by a matrix of linear forms. These come up in various geometric settings, and by now they are the subject of a considerable literature.…
We review the theory of quaternionic Kahler and hyperkahler structures. Then we consider the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold M with a metric connection D (with torsion) and with its well estabilished canonical complex structure.…
Let X be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field k. Nori constructed a category of vector bundles on X, called essentially finite vector bundles, which is reminiscent of the category of representations of the…
We establish the general machinery of string topology for differentiable stacks. This machinery allows us to treat on an equal footing free loops in stacks and hidden loops. In particular, we give a good notion of a free loop stack, and of…
We desribe vector bundles over a class of noncommutative curves, namely, over noncommutative nodal curves of string type and of almost string type. We also prove that in other cases the classification of vector bundles over a noncommutative…
Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g \geq 2 over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. Let M_X be the moduli space of semistable rank-2 vector bundles over X with trivial determinant. The relative Frobenius map…
We study the holomorphic vector bundles E over the twistor space Tw(M) of a compact simply connected hyperk\"ahler manifold $M$. We give a characterization of the semistability condition for E in terms of its restrictions to the holomorphic…
Projective spaces for finite-dimensional vector spaces over general fields are considered. The geometry of these spaces and the theory of line bundles over these spaces is presented. Particularly, the space of global regular sections of…
Using the new approach to analytic geometry developed by Clausen and Scholze by means of condensed mathematics, we prove that for every affinoid analytic adic space $X$, pseudocoherent complexes, perfect complexes, and finite projective…
Based on [1], we study the complexity of horizontality in each twistor space $\hat{E}_{\varepsilon}$ associated with an oriented vector bundle $E$ of rank $4$ with a positive-definite metric over the $2$-torus $T^2$, and obtain…
We construct heterotic vacua based on six-dimensional nearly-Kahler homogeneous manifolds and non-trivial vector bundles thereon. Our examples are based on three specific group coset spaces. It is shown how to construct line bundles over…
We introduce the concept of a graded bundle which is a natural generalization of the concept of a vector bundle and whose standard examples are higher tangent bundles T^nQ playing a fundamental role in higher order Lagrangian formalisms.…
