Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety and let $H \in \pic(X)$ be an ample line bundle. Assume that $X$ is covered by rational curves with degree one with respect to $H$ and with anticanonical degree greater than or equal to $(\dim…

We determine the minimum vertex degree that ensures a perfect matching in a 3-uniform hypergraph. More precisely, suppose that H is a sufficiently large 3-uniform hypergraph whose order n is divisible by 3. If the minimum vertex degree of H…

Let $(X,L)$ be an $n$-dimensional polarized variety. Fujita's conjecture says that if $L^n>1$ then the adjoint bundle $K_X+nL$ is spanned and $K_X+(n+1)L$ is very ample. There are some examples such that $K_X+nL$ is not spanned or…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary smooth hypersurface in $\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^n$ of degree $d$. We prove the de Jong-Debarre Conjecture for $n \geq 2d-4$: the space of lines in $X$ has dimension $2n-d-3$. We also prove an analogous result for…

Let $X$ be a K3 surface, let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$ on $X$, and let $A$ be a base point free and primitive line bundle $g_d^r$ on $C$ with $d\geq4$ and $r\geq\sqrt{\frac{d}{2}}$. In this paper, we prove that if $g>2d-3+(r-1)^2$,…

In the present work, we investigate existence of deformations and algebraic approximability for certain uniruled K\"ahler threefolds. In the first part, we establish existence of infinitesimal deformations for all conic bundles with…

We prove new bounds for the period-index problem for hyper-K\"ahler varieties of $K3^{[n]}$-type using projectively hyperholomorphic bundles constructed by Markman. We show that $\mathrm{dim}(X)$ is a bound for any $X$ of $K3^{[n]}$-type.…

We study varieties $X \subset P^r$ such that is $N_X^*(k)$ is an Ulrich vector bundle for some integer $k$. We first prove that such an $X$ must be a curve. Then we give several examples of curves with $N_X^*(k)$ an Ulrich vector bundle.

We construct a full, strongly exceptional collection of line bundles on the variety X that is the blow up of the projectivization of the vector bundle O_{P^{n-1}}\oplus O_{P^{n-1}}(b) along a linear space of dimension n-2, where b is a…

We prove uniruledness of some moduli spaces $\bar{M}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points using linear systems on nonsingular projective surfaces containing the general curve of genus $g$. Precisely we show that…

We study Gauss maps of order $k$, associated to a projective variety $X$ embedded in projective space via a line bundle $L.$ We show that if $X$ is a smooth, complete complex variety and $L$ is a $k$-jet spanned line bundle on $X$, with…

We address the question concerning the birational geometry of the strata of holomorphic and quadratic differentials. We show strata of holomorphic and quadratic differentials to be uniruled in small genus by constructing rational curves via…

Here we investigate meaningful families of vector bundles on a very general polarized $K3$ surface $(X,H)$ and on the corresponding Hyper--Kaehler variety given by the Hilbert scheme of points $X^{[k]}:= {\rm Hilb}^k(X)$, for any integer $k…

We show that if $X$ is a smooth uniruled projective variety and $L$ a big and semiample $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor on $X$, then there exists a proper closed subset $W\subset X$ such that every subvariety $Y$ satisfying $a(Y,L)> a(X,L)$ is…

We establish the Minimal Model Program for arithmetic threefolds whose residue characteristics are greater than five. In doing this, we generalize the theory of global $F$-regularity to mixed characteristic and identify certain stable…

We prove existence and unicity of slope stable vector bundles on a general polarized hyperk\"ahler (HK) variety of type $K3^{[n]}$ with certain discrete invariants, provided the rank and the first two Chern classes of the vector bundle…

We characterize the triples (X,L,H), consisting of holomorphic line bundles L and H on a complex projective manifold X, such that for some positive integer k, the k-th holomorphic jet bundle of L, J_k(L), is isomorphic to a direct sum…

We show that if an ample line bundle L on a nonsingular toric 3-fold satisfies h^0(L+2K)=0, then L is normally generated. As an application, we show that the anti-canonical divisor on a nonsingular toric Fano 4-fold is normally generated.

For an integer $r\geqslant 3$, a hypergraph on vertex set $[n]$ is $r$-uniform if each edge is a set of $r$ vertices, and is said to be linear if every two distinct edges share at most one vertex. Given a family $\mathcal{H}$ of linear…

Let $X \subset \P^r$ be a linearly normal variety defined by a very ample line bundle $L$ on a projective variety $X$. Recently it is shown in \cite{HLMP} that there are many cases where $(X,L)$ satisfies property $\textsf{QR} (3)$ in the…
