We prove the Bertram-Feinberg-Mukai conjecture for a generic curve $C$ of genus $g$ and a semistable vector bundle $E$ of rank two and determinant $K$ on $C$, namely we prove the injectivity of the Petri-canonical map $S^2(H^0(E))\to…

Let C be a generic non-singular curve of genus g defined over a field of characteristic different from 2. We show that for every line bundle on C of degree at most g+1, the natural product map S^2(H^0(L))\to H^0(C,L^2) is injective. We also…

Let C be a generic curve, E a generic vector bundle on C. Then, for every line bundle on C the twisted Petri map P:H^0(C,L\otimes E)\otimes H^0(C, K\otimes L^*\otimes E^{*})--> H^0(C, K) is injective.

We show that on a generic curve and under some conditions on the degree and genus, there exists a component B of the locus of stable vector bundles of rank r and degree d with at least k sections of the expected dimension such that for a…

Let $X$ be the moduli space of semistable rank 2 vector bundles over a smooth curve C of genus $g \ge 2$ and $\theta : X \to PH^0(L)^*$ be the map associated to the generalized theta divisor L on X. We prove that for C not hyperelliptic,…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle of rank $r\geq 2$ on a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g \geq 2$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic. For any integer with $1\le k\le r-1$ we define $${\se}_k(E):=k\deg…

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…

Let $C$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve and $E$ be a rank 2 stable vector bundle on $C$. Then one can associate a rank 4 vector bundle $\mathcal{F}_2(E)$ on $S^2(C)$, second symmetric power of $C$. Our goal in this article is to…

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 $rm$.…

We prove that, for the general curve of genus g, the 2nd Gaussian map is injective if g <= 17 and surjective if g >= 18. The proof relies on the study of the limit of the 2nd Gaussian map when the general curve of genus g degenerates to a…

Let E be a stable rank two normalized vector bundle on P3. If H is a general plane we show that h^0(E_H(1)) \leq 2+c_1. It follows that h^0(E(1)) \leq 2+c_1.

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g\, \geq\,2$, and let $\xi$ be a holomorphic line bundle on $X$ with $\xi^{\otimes 2}\,=\, {\mathcal O}_X$. Fix a theta characteristic $\mathbb L$ on $X$. Let ${\mathcal…

This is a continuation of "Rational families of vector bundles on curves, I". Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus at least 2 and let M be the moduli space of rank 2, stable vector bundles on C, with fixed determinant of degree 1.…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle over a smooth curve $C$, and $S = \mathbb{P} E$ the associated projective bundle. We describe the inflectional loci of certain projective models $\psi \colon S \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ in terms of Quot…

Let $M_X(r,\xi)$ be the moduli space of stable vector bundles, on a smooth complex projective curve $X$, of rank $r$ and fixed determinant $\xi$ such that $\deg(\xi)$ is coprime to $r$. If $E$ is a vector bundle $M_X(r,\xi)$ whose…

Let $M$ be the moduli space of rank $2$ stable bundles with fixed determinant of degree $1$ on a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g\ge 2$. When $C$ is generic, we show that any elliptic curve on $M$ has degree (respect to…

This is another proof of the same result in [9]. Let $X_0$ be a generic quintic hypersurface in $\mathbf P^4$ over $\mathbb C$ and $c_0$ a regular map $\mathbf P^1\to X_0$ that is generically one-to-one to its image. In this paper, we show…

Given a vector bundle $E$ on a complex reduced curve $C$ and a subspace $V$ of $H^0(E)$ which generates $E$, one can consider the kernel of the evaluation map $ev_V:V\otimes \mathcal{O}_C\to E$, i.e. the {\it kernel bundle } $M_{E,V}$…

The goal is to verify the Hodge conjecture (and some related conjectures) for certain moduli spaces. It is shown that the (generalized) Hodge conjecture holds for the projective moduli spaces of vector bundles over an abelian or K3 surface…

The spectrum of a stable rank 2 vector bundle $E$ with $c_1 = 0$ on the projective 3-space is a finite sequence of positive integers $s(0)$, ..., $s(m)$ characterizing the Hilbert function of the graded $H^1$-module of $E$ in negative…
