Let $C$ be a comb-like curve over $\mathbb{C}$, and $E$ be a vector bundle of rank $n$ on $C$. In this paper, we investigate the criteria for the semistability of the restriction of $E$ onto the components of $C$ when $E$ is given to be…

Let T be a general bidegree (2,2) divisor in the product of two projective planes. Recently A.Verra proved that the existence of two conic bundle structures (c.b.s.) on T implies a new counterexample to the Torelli theorem for Prym…

We show that on a generic curve and under some conditions on the degree and genus, there exists a component B of the locus of stable vector bundles of rank r and degree d with at least k sections of the expected dimension such that for a…

This is a (short) survey lecture on the "theta map" from the moduli space of SL_r bundles on a curve C to the projective space of r-th order theta functions on JC . Some recent results and a few open problems about that map are discussed.

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…

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g\, \geq\,2$, and let $\xi$ be a holomorphic line bundle on $X$ with $\xi^{\otimes 2}\,=\, {\mathcal O}_X$. Fix a theta characteristic $\mathbb L$ on $X$. Let ${\mathcal…

In this paper we introduce the elementary notion of Pl\"ucker form of a pair $(E,S)$, where $E$ is a vector bundle of rank $r$ on a smooth, irreducible, complex projective variety $X$ and $S \subset H^0(E)$ is a subspace of dimension $rm$.…

Given a very ample line bundle L on a projective variety X, the syzygy bundle M_L associated to L is the kernel of the evaluation map on sections of L. Our main result is that if X is a smooth projective surface defined over an…

We study base points of the generalized Theta-divisor on the moduli space of vector bundles on a smooth algebraic curve X of genus g defined over an algebraically closed field. To do so, we use the derived categories D(Pic(X)), D(Jac(X)),…

We prove two results. First, we establish that the normal bundle of any smooth curve of genus 7 having maximal Clifford index is stable. Note that 7 is the smallest genus for which such a result could possibly hold. We then show that rank…

Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus at least 2 over a field k. Given a line bundle L on C, we consider the moduli stack of rank 2n vector bundles E on C endowed with a nowhere degenerate symplectic form $b: E \otimes E \to L$ up to…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ and let $K$ be its canonical bundle. In this note we show that a stable vector bundle $E$ on $X$ is very stable, i.e. $E$ has no non-zero nilpotent Higgs field, if and only if…

In this paper, we study the $(k,l)$-stable vector bundles over non-singular projective curve $X$ of genus $g\geq 2,$ its relation with stability and Segre invariants. For rank 2 and 3, we give an explicit description and relation of…

Let $C$ be an algebraic smooth complex curve of genus $g>1$. The object of this paper is the study of the birational structure of certain moduli spaces of vector bundles and of coherent systems on $C$ and the comparison of different type of…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>2$. We prove that any rank $3$ nilpotent semistable Higgs bundle $(E,\theta)$ on $X$ is a strongly semistable Higgs bundle. This…

We obtain a complete description of the effective cone of $C_{g-2}$ when $C$ is a general curve of genus $g \geq 6,$ as well as a new bound in the case where $C$ is a smooth plane quintic. In addition, we obtain a new virtual bound for the…

In this paper I present a new geometric approach to the factorization rule for generalised theta functions. Let $X$ be an irreducible projective nodal curve with one singularity and let $Y$ be its normalization. Recently I have constructed…

In this paper, it is proved that certain stable rank-3 vector bundles can be written as extensions of line bundles and stable rank-2 bundles. As an application, we show the rationality of certain moduli spaces of stable rank-3 bundles over…

The aim of this paper is two--fold. We first strongly improve our previous main result Theorem 3.1 in Arxiv 1702.00918v3 12Feb2018 ("Brill-Noether loci of rank two vector bundles on a general $\nu$-gonal curve"), concerning classification…
