We exhibit examples of slope-stable and modular vector bundles on a hyperk\"ahler manifold of K3$^{[2]}$-type which move in a 20-dimensional family and study their algebraic properties. These are obtained by performing standard linear…

It is in general unknown which topological complex vector bundles on a non-algebraic surface admit holomorphic structures. We solve this problem for primary Kodaira surfaces by using results of Kani on curves of genus two with elliptic…

In this paper we give a splitting criterion for uniform vector bundles on Fano manifolds covered by lines. As a consequence, we classify low rank uniform vector bundles on Hermitian symmetric spaces and Fano bundles of rank two on…

We give a new method to construct linear spaces of matrices of constant rank, based on truncated graded cohomology modules of certain vector bundles as well as on the existence of graded Artinian modules with pure resolutions. Our method…

We study algebraic structures of certain submonoids of the monoid of homology cylinders over a surface and the homology cobordism groups, using Reidemeister torsion with non-commutative coefficients. The submonoids consist of ones whose…

Let M be a moduli space of stable vector bundles on a curve with rank and degree fixed and coprime. We give a simple proof that the rational cohomology of M is generated by the Kunneth components of the Chern classes of the universal…

Let $M$ be the moduli space of rank 3 parabolic vector bundles over a Riemann surface with several punctures. By the Mehta-Seshadri correspondence, this is the space of rank 3 unitary representations of the fundamental group of the…

We give a proof of Mukai's Theorem on the existence of certain exceptional vector bundles on prime Fano threefolds. To our knowledge this is the first complete proof in the literature. The result is essential for Mukai's biregular…

Let $X \subset \mathbb P^3$ be a smooth hypersurface of degree $6$ over complex numbers. In this paper, we give a characterization of initialized and ACM bundles of rank $1$ on $X$ with respect to the line bundle given by a smooth…

Let N be the moduli space of stable rank 2 quasiparabolic vector bundles of fixed degree on the projective line with 2g+1 marked points, where g>1, and stability is with respect to the weights {0,1/2} at each marked point. In this note we…

We provide several results on the existence of metrics of non-negative sectional curvature on vector bundles over certain cohomogeneity one manifolds and homogeneous spaces up to suitable stabilization. Beside explicit constructions of the…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface. A quadratic pair on $X$ consists of a holomorphic vector bundle with a quadratic form which takes values in fixed line bundle. We show that the moduli spaces of quadratic pairs of rank 2 are connected…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective hypersurface. In this note we show that any rank 3 arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay vector bundle over $X$ splits when dim $X \geq 7$. We also find a splitting criterion for rank 4 arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay…

We consider cohomogeneity one homogeneous disk bundles and adress the question when these admit a nonnegatively curved invariant metric with normal collar, i.e., such that near the boundary the metric is the product of an interval and a…

We show that every orbispace satisfying certain mild hypotheses has 'enough' vector bundles. It follows that the K-theory of finite rank vector bundles on such orbispaces is a cohomology theory. Global presentation results for smooth…

Horrocks proved in 1964 that vector bundles on $P^n$ without intermediate cohomology split as direct sum of line bundles. This result has been the starting point of a great research activity on other varieties, showing interesting…

In this paper, we survey recent works on the structure of the mapping class groups of surfaces mainly from the point of view of topology. We then discuss several possible directions for future research. These include the relation between…

Motivated by gauge theory on manifolds with exceptional holonomy, we construct examples of stable bundles on K3 surfaces that are invariant under two involutions: one is holomorphic; and the other is anti-holomorphic. These bundles are…

In this paper we derive a list of all the possible indecomposable normalized rank--two vector bundles without intermediate cohomology on the prime Fano threefolds and on the complete intersection Calabi Yau threefolds, say $V$, of Picard…
