We show the vanishing of the first direct image of the structure sheaf of a normal scheme $X$ which is mapped properly and birationally over a regular scheme of any dimension. On the other hand, for any dimension greater than two, we show…

Let X be a non-singular algebraic curve of genus at least 3 and let M denote the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank n and fixed determinant of degree d with n and d coprime. For any semistable bundle E over X, we can pull E back…

We prove a Generic Vanishing Theorem for coherent sheaves on an abelian variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. When $k=\CC$ this implies a conjecture of Green and Lazarsfeld.

Toric varieties associated with root systems appeared very naturally in the theory of group compactifications. Here they are considered in a very different context. We prove the vanishing of higher cohomology groups for certain line bundles…

The Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture is a generalization of Green's Conjecture on syzygies of canonical curves to the cases of arbitrary line bundles. We establish the Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture for curves of genus g in all the…

This article is concerned with the convexity properties of universal covers of projective varieties. We study the relation between the convexity properties of the universal cover of X and the properties of the pullback map sending vector…

In this paper, we establish several results related to vanishing theorems for Mather-Jacobian multiplier ideals on a Gorenstein projective variety, including an injectivity theorem, a Nadel-type vanishing theorem, a Griffith-type vanishing…

We prove the Green conjecture for generic curves of odd genus. That is we prove the vanishing $K_{k,1}(X,K_X)=0$ for $X$ generic of genus $2k+1$. The curves we consider are smooth curves $X$ on a K3 surface whose Picard group has rank 2.…

We give several generalizations of the Kodaira vanishing and embedding theorems for K\"ahler manifolds to the case where the relevent line bundle has a small region of negative curvature. To prove the vanishing theorems we adapt techniques…

To every singular reduced projective curve X one can associate, following E. Esteves, many fine compactified Jacobians, depending on the choice of a polarization on X, each of which yields a modular compactification of a disjoint union of…

Let S be a K3 surface and assume for simplicity that it does not contain any (-2)-curve. Using coherent systems, we express every non-simple Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle on S as an extension of two sheaves of some special type, that we refer to…

A proof based on reduction to finite fields of Esnault-Viehweg's stronger version of Sommese Vanishing Theorem for $k$-ample line bundles is given. This result is used to give different proofs of isotriviality results of A. Parshin and L.…

The present paper is related to a conjecture made by Green and Lazarsfeld concerning 1-linear syzygies of curves embedded by complete linear systems of sufficiently large degrees. Given a smooth, irreducible, complex, projective curve $X$,…

We propose a slightly modified definition for the Fourier-Mukai transform (on abelian varieties) that makes it much easier to remember various formulas. As an application, we give relatively short proofs for two important theorems: the…

We study the interplay between the Fourier-Mukai transform and the decomposition theorem for an integrable system $\pi: M \rightarrow B$. Our main conjecture is that the Fourier-Mukai transform of sheaves of K\"ahler differentials, after…

We prove a general vanishing theorem for the cohomology of products of symmetric and skew-symmetric powers of an ample vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety. Special cases include an extension of classical theorems of…

In \cite{Broer1993}, it was shown that certain line bundles on $\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}=T^*G/B$ have vanishing higher cohomology. We prove a generalization of this theorem for real reductive algebraic groups. More specifically, if…

Let $G$ be a split reductive group over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic, chosen suitably. Let $X\to S$ be a smooth projective morphism of locally noetherian $k$-schemes, with geometrically connected fibers. We show that for each…

We prove an effective vanishing theorem for direct images of log pluricanonical bundles of projective semi-log canonical pairs. As an application, we obtain a semipositivity theorem for direct images of relative log pluricanonical bundles…

Griffiths and Harris showed in 1978 that if E is a rank n vector bundle on a smooth projective variety of dimension n, and if s is a section of E vanishing simply on a finite set Z, then any section of (K_X + det E) vanishing at all but one…
