We formulate a theory of instability and Harder-Narasimhan filtrations for an arbitrary moduli problem in algebraic geometry. We introduce the notion of a $\Theta$-stratification of a moduli problem, which generalizes the Kempf-Ness…

We completely classify the possible extensions between semistable vector bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve (over an algebraically closed perfectoid field), in terms of a simple condition on Harder-Narasimhan polygons. Our arguments rely…

Let $X$ be a smooth, complete and connected curve and $G$ be a simple and simply connected algebraic group over $\comp$. We calculate the Picard group of the moduli stack of quasi-parabolic $G$-bundles and identify the spaces of sections of…

In this paper we study the relationship between two different compactifications of the space of vector bundle quotients of an arbitrary vector bundle on a curve. One is Grothendieck's Quot scheme, while the other is a moduli space of stable…

We consider slope stability of the canonical extension of the tangent bundle by the trivial line bundle and with the extension class c_1(T_X) on Picard-rank-1 Fano varieties. In cases where the index divides the dimension or the dimension…

Moduli of vector bundles on stacky curves behave similarly to moduli of vector bundles on curves, except there are additional numerical invariants giving many different notions of stability. We apply the existence criterion for good moduli…

Let X be a projective smooth irreducible polarized variety over the field of complex numbers. Typical examples of wide extensions are vector bundles E that have a subsheaf F whose slope is much bigger than the slope of E/F, and such that F…

For a reduced curve $C:f=0$ in the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$, we study the set of jumping lines for the rank two vector bundle $T\langle C \rangle $ on $\mathbb{P}^2$, whose sections are the logarithmic vector fields along…

If X is a nonsingular curve in a Calabi--Yau threefold Y whose normal bundle N_{X/Y} is a generic semistable bundle, are the local Gromov-Witten invariants of X well defined? For X of genus two or higher, the issues are subtle. We will…

Let $H$ be a semisimple algebraic group. We prove the semistable reduction theorem for $\mu$--semistable principal $H$--bundles over a {\it smooth projective variety $X$} defined over the field $\bc$. When $X$ is a {\it smooth projective…

We study rank-2 wobbly bundles on a Riemann surface $C$ of genus $g\geq 2$, i.e. semi-stable bundles admitting nonzero nilpotent Higgs fields, in terms of direct images of line bundles on smooth spectral curves $\tilde{C}…

In this article, we study the variation of the Gieseker and Uhlenbeck compactifications of the moduli spaces of Mumford-Takemoto stable vector bundles of rank 2 by changing polarizations. Some {\it canonical} rational morphisms among the…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective complex curve of genus $g \geq 2$ and let $\M_X(2,\Lambda)$ be the moduli space of semi-stable rank-$2$ vector bundles over $X$ with fixed determinant $\Lambda$. We show that the wobbly locus, i.e., the locus…

Mochizuki's work on torally crys-stable bundles has extensive implications for the theory of logarithmic connections on vector bundles of rank 2 on curves, once the language is translated appropriately. We describe how to carry out this…

Let C be a smooth complex projective curve of genus at least 2 and let M be the moduli space of rank 2, stable vector bundles on C, with fixed determinant of degree 1. For any k>1, we find two irreducible components of the space of rational…

In this paper, we consider the preservation of stability by using the notion of Twisted stability. As applications, (1) we show that moduli spaces of vector bundles on K3 and abelian surfaces are irreducible, (2) we compute Hodge…

Over a family of varieties with singular special fiber, the relative Picard functor (i.e. the moduli space of line bundles) may fail to be compact. We propose a stability condition for line bundles on reducible varieties that is aimed at…
