We show that the classic Verlinde numbers on the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective curve can also be regarded as Segre numbers of natural universal complexes over the moduli space.

We show that principal bundles for a semisimple group on an arbitrary affine curve over an algebraically closed field are trivial, provided the order of $\pi_1$ of the group is invertible in the ground field, or if the curve has semi-normal…

Let X be a projective curve of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. The Frobenius map on X induces a rational map on the moduli scheme of rank-2 bundles. We show that up to isomorphism, there is only one (up to…

Let X be a smooth complex projective curve of genus g bigger or equal to 1. If g is bigger than 1 assume further that X is either bielliptic or with general moduli. Under a natural condition on slopes, we prove that there exists a short…

We prove a criterion stating when a line bundle on a smooth coisotropic subvariety Y of a smooth variety X with an algebraic Poisson structure, admits a first order deformation quantization.

The linear stability of closed timelike geodesics (CTGs) is analyzed in two spacetimes with cylindrical sources, an infinite rotating dust cylinder, and a cylindrical cloud of static cosmic strings with a central spinning string. We also…

The existence of translated curves for quasiperiodically forced maps is established, under very mild regularity hypotheses, for rotation numbers of constant type. Among the translated curves, the invariant curves are characterized as the…

In this note we introduce a construction which assigns to an arbitrary manifold bundle its fiberwise orientation covering. This is used to show that the zeta classes of unoriented surface bundles are not divisible in the stable range.

For a smooth projective curve C with genus g >= 2 and a degree 1 line bundle L on C, let M := SU_{C}(r;L) be the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank r and with the fixed determinant L. In this paper, we study the small rational…

Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve with an involution $\sigma$. A vector bundle $E$ over $X$ is called anti-invariant if there exists an isomorphism $\sigma^*E\rightarrow E^*$. In this paper, we give a construction of the…

We formulate a conjecture on the behavior of the minimal free resolutions of sets of general points on arbitrary varieties embedded by complete linear series, in analogy with the well-known Minimal Resolution Conjecture for points in…

We study stable rationality properties of conic bundles over rational surfaces.

There is a well studied notion of GIT-stability for coherent systems over curves, which depends on a real parameter $\alpha$. For generated coherent systems, there is a further notion of stability derived from Mumford's definition of linear…

In this paper we establish the existence of monads on multiprojective spaces $X=\mathbb{P}^{2n+1}\times\mathbb{P}^{2n+1}\times\cdots\times\mathbb{P}^{2n+1}$. We prove stability of the kernel bundle which is a dual of a generalized…

In this paper we discuss Bagger-Witten line bundles over moduli spaces of SCFTs. We review how in general they are `fractional' line bundles, not honest line bundles, twisted on triple overlaps. We discuss the special case of moduli spaces…

Let $\pi : X = \mathbb{P}_C(E) \longrightarrow C$ be a ruled surface over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, with a fixed polarization $L$ on $X$. In this paper, we show that pullback of a (semi)stable Higgs bundle on…

It is easy to imagine that a subvariety of a vector bundle, whose intersection with every fibre is a vector subspace of constant dimension, must necessarily be a sub-bundle. We give two examples to show that this is not true, and several…

On a normal projective variety the locus of $\mu$-stable bundles that remain $\mu$-stable on all Galois covers prime to the characteristic is open in the moduli space of Gieseker semi-stable sheaves. On a smooth projective curve of genus at…

Let $(X,L)$ be a polarized smooth projective variety. For any basepoint-free linear system $\mathcal{L}_{V}$ with $V\subset H^{0}(X,\mathcal{O}_{X}(L))$ we consider the syzygy bundle $M_{V}$ as the kernel of the evaluation map $V\otimes…

Given a vector bundle with integrable connection $(V,\nabla)$ on a curve, if $V$ is not itself semistable as a vector bundle then we can iterate a construction involving modification by the destabilizing subobject to obtain a Hodge-like…
