An orthogonal bundle over a curve has an isotropic Segre invariant determined by the maximal degree of a Lagrangian subbundle. This invariant, and the induced stratifications on moduli spaces of orthogonal bundles, were studied for bundles…

We construct families of manifolds that have pairs of genus $g$ Heegaard splittings that must be stabilized roughly $g$ times to become equivalent. We also show that when two unstabilized, boundary-unstabilized Heegaard splittings are…

We are interested in the algebraic intersection of closed curves of a given length on translation surfaces. Namely, we study the quantity KVol which measures how many times can two closed curves of a given length intersect. In this paper,…

We show that the moduli space of degree $e$ maps from smooth genus $g \ge 1$ curves to an arbitrary low degree smooth hypersurface is singular when $e$ is large compared to $g$. We also give a lower bound for the dimension of the singular…

In "Seshadri fibrations of algebraic surfaces" [arXiv:0709.2592v1] we showed that if the multiple point Seshadri constants of an ample line bundle on a smooth projective surface in very general points satisfy certain inequality then the…

Given a monodromy representation $\rho$ of the projective line minus $m$ points, one can extend the resulting vector bundle with connection map canonically to a vector bundle with logarithmic connection map over all of the projective line.…

In this article we deduce criteria for the splitting and the triviality of vector bundles, by restricting them to partially ample divisors. This allows to study the problem of splitting on the total space of fibre bundles. The statements…

Faltings conjectured that under the p-adic Simpson correspondence, finite dimensional p-adic representations of the geometric \'etale fundamental group of a smooth proper p-adic curve X are equivalent to semi-stable Higgs bundles of degree…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a simple closed curve on the boundary of a genus two handlebody to decompose the handlebody into (torus with one boundary component times [0,1]. We use this condition to decide whether a…

We construct examples of non-isotrivial algebraic families of smooth complex projective curves over a curve of genus 2. This solves a problem from Kirby's list of problems in low-dimensional topology. Namely, we show that 2 is the smallest…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic translation lengths on the sphere complexes of monodromies of a manifold fibered over the circle. Given a compact mapping torus, we define a cone in the first cohomology which we call the generalized…

Given a splitting of a free-by-cyclic group, the associated monodromy acts on outer space preserving Handel and Mosher's "axis bundle." We show that the property of a monodromy having a "lone axis" is non-generic in the sense that the…

Heegaard splittings provide a natural representation of closed 3-manifolds by gluing two handlebodies along a common surface. These splittings can be equivalently given by two finite sets of meridians lying on the surface, which define a…

We apply the methods of Heegaard Floer homology to identify topological properties of complex curves in the complex projective plane. As one application, we resolve an open conjecture that constrains the Alexander polynomial of the link of…

This paper generalizes the definition of a Heegaard splitting to unify Scharlemann and Thomspon's concept of thin position for 3-manifolds, Gabai's thin position for knots, and Rubinstein's almost normal surface theory. This gives…

For a subvariety of a smooth projective variety, consider the family of smooth hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree containing it, and take the quotient of the middle cohomology of the hypersurfaces by the cohomology of the ambient…

In this paper we give the first example of a surface bundle over a surface with at least three fiberings. In fact, for each $n \ge 3$ we construct $4$-manifolds $E$ admitting at least $n$ distinct fiberings $p_i: E \to \Sigma_{g_i}$ as a…

It was shown by Bonahon-Otal and Hodgson-Rubinstein that any two genus-one Heegaard splittings of the same 3-manifold (typically a lens space) are isotopic. On the other hand, it was shown by Boileau, Collins and Zieschang that certain…

We construct examples of Lefschetz fibrations with prescribed singular fibers. By taking differences of pairs of such fibrations with the same singular fibers, we obtain new examples of surface bundles over surfaces with non-zero signature.…

Consider a flat bundle over a complex curve. We prove a conjecture of Fei Yu that the sum of the top k Lyapunov exponents of the flat bundle is always greater or equal to the degree of any rank k holomorphic subbundle. We generalize the…
