Let C be a curve of genus g, and let SU(r) be the moduli space of vector bundles of rank r on C, with trivial determinant. A general E in SU(r) defines a theta divisor in the linear system |r Theta|, where Theta is the canonical theta…

In this paper we investigate generalized theta divisors $\Theta_r$ in the moduli spaces $\mathcal{U}_C(r,r)$ of semistable vector bundles on a curve $C$ of genus $2$. We provide a desingularization $\Phi$ of $\Theta_r$ in terms of a…

In this paper we consider the singularities of the varieties parameterizing stable vector bundles of fixed rank and degree with sections on a smooth curve of genus at least two. In particular, we extend results of Y. Laszlo, and of the…

Let C be a curve of genus g and L a line bundle of degree 2g on C . Let M be the kernel of the evaluation map from the trivial bundle with fibre H^0(C,L) into L . We show that when L is general enough, the rank g bundle M and its exterior…

We investigate the Brill-Noether theory of rank-two, degree-$d$ stable vector bundles of speciality $3$ on a general $\nu$-gonal curve of genus $g$, $3 \leq \nu < \lfloor \frac{g+3}{2} \rfloor$. Our approach leverages universal extension…

This paper shows that on the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of fixed rank and determinant (of any degree) on a smooth curve of genus at least two, the base locus of the generalized theta divisor is large provided the rank is…

In this paper we study the Brill Noether locus of rank 2, (semi)stable vector bundles with at least two sections and of suitable degrees on a general $\nu$-gonal curve. We classify its reduced components whose dimensions are at least the…

In this paper we introduce the elementary notion of Pl\"ucker form of a pair $(E,S)$, where $E$ is a vector bundle of rank $r$ on a smooth, irreducible, complex projective variety $X$ and $S \subset H^0(E)$ is a subspace of dimension $rm$.…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g \geq 3$. We give a new description of the theta map for moduli spaces of rank 2 semistable vector bundles with trivial determinant. In orther to do this, we describe a fibration of (a birational…

In this paper we study Brill-Noether loci for rank-two vector bundles and describe the general member of some components as suitable extensions of line bundles.

Let $C$ be a Petri general curve of genus $g$ and $E$ a general stable vector bundle of rank $r$ and slope $g-1$ over $C$ with $h^0 (C, E) = r+1$. For $g > (2r+2)(2r+1)$, we show how the bundle $E$ can be recovered from the tangent cone to…

A generic strictly semistable bundle of degree zero over a curve X has a reducible theta divisor, given by the sum of the theta divisors of the stable summands of the associated graded bundle. The converse is not true: Beauville and Raynaud…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g\geq 3$. In this paper we give a new geometric description of the theta map for moduli spaces of rank 2 semistable vector bundles on $C$ with trivial determinant. In order to do this, we describe…

This paper replaces the previous longer version and focuses on the specialty $2$ case. More precisely, in this paper we address the Brill-Noether theory for rank-two, degree $d$ stable bundles of speciality $2$ on a general $\nu$-gonal…

Riemann surface carries a natural line bundle, the determinant bundle. The space of sections of this line bundle (or its multiples) constitutes a natural non-abelian generalization of the spaces of theta functions on the Jacobian. There has…

The aim of this paper is two--fold. We first strongly improve our previous main result Theorem 3.1 in Arxiv 1702.00918v3 12Feb2018 ("Brill-Noether loci of rank two vector bundles on a general $\nu$-gonal curve"), concerning classification…

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…

Let X be a ruled surface over a nonsingular curve C of genus $g\geq0$. Let $M_H:=M_{X,H}(2;c_1,c_2)$ be the moduli space of H-stable rank 2 vector bundles E on X with fixed Chern classes $c_i:=c_i(E)$ for $i=1,2$. The main goal of this…
