Let $(E,\varphi)$ be decorated vector bundle of type $(a,b,c,N)$ on a smooth projective curve $X$. There is a suitable semistability condition for such objects which has to be checked for any weighted filtration of $E$. We prove, at least…

We give a new proof of the classification due to Peternell-Szurek-Wi\'{s}niewski of nef vector bundles on a projective space with the first Chern class less than three and on a smooth hyperquadric with the first Chern class less than two…

We give an algebraic proof valid in arbitrary characteristic for the known equivalence between (strongly) slope semistable vector bundles with vanishing discriminant and vanishing determinant and numerically flat bundles. We also address a…

After providing a suitable definition of numerical effectiveness for Higgs bundles, and a related notion of numerical flatness, in this paper we prove, together with some side results, that all Chern classes of a Higgs-numerically flat…

We construct vector bundles $R^r_\mu$ on a smooth projective curve $X$ having the property that for all sheaves $E$ of slope $\mu$ and rank $r$ on $X$ we have an equivalence: $E$ is a semistable vector bundle $\iff$ $Hom(R^r_\mu,E)=0$. As a…

Let $X$ be a del Pezzo surface. When the degree of $X$ is at least 4, we compute the cohomology of a general sheaf in the moduli space of Gieseker semistable sheaves. We also classify the Chern characters for which the general sheaf in the…

We consider the problem of existence of semistable systems of Hodge bundles with parabolic structure over a finite set $S \subset \mathbb P^1$ of type $(1,n)$. That is, we consider parabolic Higgs bundles $(\mathcal E, \theta)$, where…

We prove that the normal bundle of a general Brill-Noether curve of genus $g \geq 1$ and degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$ is semistable if $g=1$ or $g\geq \left \lceil \frac{5r}{2}\right\rceil r(r-1)$, or $d$ is larger than an explicit function…

Let E_G be a principal G-bundle over a compact connected K\"ahler manifold, where G is a connected reductive complex linear algebraic group. We show that E_G is semistable if and only if it admits approximate Hermitian-Einstein structures.

In this paper we study Higgs and co-Higgs $G$-bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds $X$. Our main results are: (1) If $X$ is Calabi-Yau, and $(E,\,\theta)$ is a semistable Higgs or co-Higgs $G$-bundle on $X$, then the principal $G$-bundle…

In this article we study a special class of vector bundles, called tensors. A tensor consists of a vector bundle $E$ over a smooth irreducible projective variety and a morphism of vector bundles $\varphi$. As for classical vector bundles,…

Let M be a complex projective manifold with the property that for any compact Riemann surface C and holomorphic map f: C -> M the pullback of the tangent bundle of M is semistable. We prove that in this case M is a curve or a finite etale…

We show that the category of affine bundles over a smooth manifold M is equivalent to the category of affine spaces modelled on projective finitely generated C^\infty(M)-modules. Using this equivalence of categories, we are able to give an…

We give a formula comparing the E-series of the moduli stacks of rank 2 degree 0 semistable Higgs bundles in genus $g \geq 2$ to intersection E-polynomials of its coarse moduli space. A parellel formula holds in various 2-Calabi-Yau…

In this short note we will show that every homogeneous strictly nef vector bundle on a complex flag variety is ample. Following this, we consider whether ampleness of a bundle on an abelian variety can be tested on curves.

Let $X$ be a smooth variety defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and $\O_X(H)$ be a very ample line bundle on $X$. We show that for a semistable $X$-bundle $E$ of rank two, there exists an integer $m$…

We generalize the Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence between semistability and the existence of approximate Hermitian-Yang-Mills structures to the case of principal Higgs bundles. We prove that a principal Higgs bundle on a compact Kaehler…

Some questions are posted at the end of Chapter 16 of Huybrechts' book 'Lectures on K3 Surfaces', concerning the bounded derived category of a K3 surface $D^b(S)$. Let $E$ be a spherical object in $D^b(S)$. The first question asks if there…

We systematically study the splitting of vector bundles on a smooth, projective variety, whose restriction to the zero locus of a regular section of an ample vector bundle splits. First, we find ampleness and genericity conditions which…

I prove "Lefschetz principle"-type theorems for semistable and curve semistable Higgs sheaves on smooth projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. These theorems are applied to reduce a…
