We consider the following question: for which invariants $g$ and $e$ is there a geometrically ruled surface $S \rightarrow C$ over a curve $C$ of genus $g$ with invariant $e$ such that $S$ is the support of an Ulrich line bundle with…

A wealth of information on multiloop string amplitudes is encoded in fermionic two-point functions known as Szeg\"o kernels. In this paper we show that cyclic products of any number of Szeg\"o kernels on a Riemann surface of arbitrary genus…

We revisit the symplectic aspects of the spectral transform for matrix-valued rational functions with simple poles. We construct eigenvectors of such matrices in terms of the Szeg\H{o} kernel on the spectral curve. Using variational…

This paper studies spaces of generalized theta functions for odd orthogonal bundles with nontrivial Stiefel-Whitney class and the associated space of twisted spin bundles. In particular, we prove a Verlinde type formula and a dimension…

In this paper we show that semistable vector bundles on a Castelnuovo curve of genus g >= 2 have theta divisors. As a corollary, we deduce that semistable vector bundles on a smooth, general curve of genus g >= 2 which extend to semistable…

In this note we examine the question of expressing the determinant of the push forward of a symmetric line bundle on an abelian fibration in terms of the pull back of the relative dualizing sheaf via the zero section.

We use Stokes's theorem to establish an explicit and concrete connection between the Bergman and Szeg\H{o} projections on the disc, the ball, and on strongly pseudoconvex domains.

A section K on a genus g canonical curve C is identified as the key tool to prove new results on the geometry of the singular locus Theta_s of the theta divisor. The K divisor is characterized by the condition of linear dependence of a set…

Let X be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic >2. Consider the dual pair H=SO_{2m}, G=Sp_{2n} over X with H split. Write Bun_G and Bun_H for the stacks of G-torsors and H-torsors on X. The…

Let $\cM_r$ denote the moduli space of semi-stable rank-$r$ vector bundles with trivial determinant over a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g$. In this paper we study the base locus $\cB_r \subset \cM_r$ of the linear system of the…

The choice of a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring defines a closed subscheme $Z$ in a projective space as well as an infinite sequence of cones over $Z$ in progressively higher dimension projective spaces. Recent work of Aluffi…

There are two canonical projective structures on any compact Riemann surface of genus at least two: one coming from the uniformization theorem, and the other from Hodge theory. They produce two (different) families of projective structures…

Let $C$ be a smooth complex irreducible projective curve of genus $g$ with general moduli, and let $(L,H^0(L))$ be a generated complete linear series of type $(d,r+1)$ over $C$. The syzygy bundle, denoted by $M_L$, is the kernel of the…

For an ample line bundle $L$ on an Abelian variety $M$, we study the theta functions associated with the family of line bundles $L\otimes T$ on $M$ indexed by $T\in \text{Pic}^{0}(M)$. Combined with an appropriate differential geometric…

The analysis of holomorphic sections of high powers $L^N$ of holomorphic ample line bundles $L\to M$ over compact K\"ahler manifolds has been widely applied in complex geometry and mathematical physics. The Tian-Yau-Zelditch's asymptotic…

We discuss the projectivity of the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on a curve of genus $g\geq 2$. This is a classical result from the 1960s, obtained using geometric invariant theory. We outline a modern approach that combines the…
