Let SU_X(3) be the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank 3 and trivial determinant on a curve X of genus 2. It maps onto P^8 and the map is a double cover branched over a sextic hypersurface called the Coble sextic. In the dual…

We describe each multiple curve on the orientable surface of genus-$g$ with $n$ punctures and one boundary component by using this multiple curve's geometric intersection number with the embedded curves in this surface.

Given a projective smooth curve $X$ over any field $k$, we discuss two notions of global $\mathbb{A}^1$ degree of a finite morphism of smooth curves $f: X \to \mathbb{P}^1_k$ satisfying certain conditions. One originates from computing the…

The purpose of this article is to study Newton polygons of certain abelian $L$-functions on curves. Let $X$ be a smooth affine curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and let $\rho:\pi_1(X) \to \mathbb{C}_p^\times$ be a finite character of…

Using a recent description of the geometric stability manifold, we show the geometric stability manifold associated to any smooth projective complex surface is contractible. We then use this result to demonstrate infinitely many new…

We discuss two elementary constructions for covers with fixed ramification in positive characteristic. As an application, we compute the number of certain classes of covers between projective lines branched at 4 points and obtain…

Let $(S,H)$ be a general primitively polarized $K3$ surface of genus $\p$ and let $p_a(nH)$ be the arithmetic genus of $nH.$ We prove the existence in $|\mathcal O_S(nH)|$ of curves with a triple point and $A_k$-singularities. In…

We address the problem of the maximal finite number of real points of a real algebraic curve (of a given degree and, sometimes, genus) in the projective plane. We improve the known upper and lower bounds and construct close to optimal…

A generalized Kummer surface $X$ obtained as the quotient of an abelian surface by a symplectic automorphism of order 3 contains a $9\mathbf{A}_{2}$-configuration of $(-2)$-curves. Such a configuration plays the role of the…

This article deals with fat bundles. Berard-Bergery classified all homogeneous bundles of that type. We ask a question of a possibility to generalize his description in the case of arbitrary G-structures over homogeneous spaces. We obtain…

A first step towards a systematic theory of relative line bundles over SUSY-curves is presented. In this paper we deal with the case of relative line bundles over families of ordinary Riemann surfaces. Generalizations of the Gauss-Bonnet…

Let $Y$ be a genus $2$ curve over $\mathbb Q$. We provide a method to systematically search for possible candidates of a prime $\ell\geq 3$ and a genus $1$ curve $X$ for which there exists a genus $3$ curve $Z$ over $\mathbb Q$ whose…

We give a new criterion for when a resolution of a surface of general type with canonical singularities has big cotangent bundle and a new lower bound for the values of $d$ for which there is a surface with big cotangent bundle that is…

We introduce a new notion of generalized log twisted curves, which are marked nodal curves with additional data at the marked points. In the case when the markings are distinct this notion agrees with the notion of twisted curve introduced…

We study the logarithmic vector bundles associated to arrangements of smooth irreducible curves with small degree on the blow-up of the projective plane at one point. We then investigate whether they are Torelli arrangements, that is, they…

We construct flat metrics in a given conformal class with prescribed singularities of real orders at marked points of a closed real surface. The singularities can be small conical, cylindrical, and large conical with possible translation…

Let $C_2$ denote the cyclic group of order 2. We compute the $RO(C_2)$-graded cohomology of all $C_2$-surfaces with constant integral coefficients. We show when the action is nonfree, the answer depends only on the genus, the orientability…

We conjecture and prove closed-form index expressions for the cohomology dimensions of line bundles on del Pezzo and Hirzebruch surfaces. Further, for all compact toric surfaces we provide a simple algorithm which allows expression of any…

In this paper we consider the problem of pointwise determining the fibres of the flat unitary subbundle of a PVHS of weight one. Starting from the associated Higgs field, and assuming the base has dimension $1$, we construct a family of…

Let $X$ be a projective K3 surfaces. In two examples where there exists a fine moduli space $M$ of stable vector bundles on $X$, isomorphic to a Hilbert scheme of points, we prove that the universal family $\mathcal{E}$ on $X\times M$ can…
