We discuss the hypersurfaces of the moduli spaces of rank $2$ vector bundles on a classical Hopf surface formed by irregular bundles.

Using monads, we construct a large class of stable bundles of rank 2 and 3 on 3-fold hypersurfaces, and study the set of all possible Chern classes of stable vector bundles.

We use hypersurfaces containing unexpected linear spaces to construct interesting vector bundles on complete intersection surfaces in projective space. We discover examples of moduli spaces of rank 2 stable bundles on surfaces of Picard…

We construct a hypersurface of degree 5 in projective space $\PP^8(\CC)$ which contains exactly 23436 ordinary nodes and no further singularities. This limits the maximum number $\mu_{8}(5)$ of ordinary nodes a hyperquintic in $\PP^8(\CC)$…

To each nodal hypersurface one can associate a binary linear code. Here we show that the binary linear code associated to sextics in $\mathbb{P}^3$ with the maximum number of $65$ nodes, as e.g. the Barth sextic, is unique. We also state…

We give a construction of hyperbolic 3-manifolds with rank two fundamental groups and report an experimental search to find such manifolds. Our manifolds are all surface bundles over the circle with genus two surface fiber. For the…

We construct symplectic surface bundles over surfaces with positive signatures for all but 18 possible pairs of fiber and base genera. Meanwhile, we determine the commutator lengths of a few new mapping classes.

Some classification results for ample vector bundles of rank 2 on Hirzebruch surfaces, and on Del Pezzo surfaces, are obtained. In particular, we classify rank-2 ample vector bundles with $c_2$ less than 7 on Hirzebruch surfaces, and with…

In this work we study the topology of holomorphic rank two bundles over complex surfaces. We consider bundles that are constructed by glueing and show that under certain conditions the topology of the bundle does not depend on the glueing.…

We prove that for n= 5, 6, 7, a nodal hypersurface of degree n in P^4 is factorial if it has at most (n-1)^2-1 nodes.

Let X be a K3 surface of degree 8 in P^5 with hyperplane section H. We associate to it another K3 surface M which is a double cover of P^2 ramified on a sextic curve C. In the generic case when X is smooth and a complete intersection of…

In this paper we count the number of isomorphism classes of geometrically indecomposable quasi-parabolic structures of a given type on a given vector bundle on the projective line over a finite field. We give a conjectural cohomological…

Very ampleness criteria for rank 2 vector bundles over smooth, ruled surfaces over rational and elliptic curves are given. The criteria are then used to settle open existence questions for some special threefolds of low degree.

We study rank 3 stable bundles E on P^3 as extensions of a line bundle B on a smooth surface S in P^3 by the direct sum of three copies of O_{P^3}(-\nu). In most cases, S (the dependency locus of three sections of E(\nu)) lies in the…

We show that any polarized K3 surface supports special Ulrich bundles of rank 2.

In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the number of hypersurfaces in a compact complex manifold X (passing through the right number of points), that has a simple node, a cusp or a tacnode. The hypersurfaces belong to a linear…

We study hyperplane sections of smooth polarized $K3$-surfaces that split into unions of lines. We describe the dual adjacency graphs of such sections and find sharp upper bounds on their number. In most cases (starting from degree $6$), we…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve and $V$ an orthogonal bundle over $C$. Let $\IQeV$ be the isotropic Quot scheme parameterizing degree $e$ isotropic subsheaves of maximal rank in $V$. We give a closed formula for intersection numbers on…

We construct algebraic surfaces with a large number of type A singularities. Bivariate polynomials presented in previous works for the construction of nodal surfaces and certain families of Belyi polynomials are used. In some cases explicit…

Let $X$ be a smooth quartic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^3$. By the Brill-Noether theory of curves on K3 surfaces, if a rank 2 aCM bundle on $X$ is globally generated, then it is the Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle $E_{C,Z}$ associated with a smooth…
