Brill-Noether theory on Hirzebruch surfaces

In this paper, we investigate higher rank Brill-Noether problems for stable vector bundles on Hirzebruch surfaces. Using suitable non-splitting extensions, we deal with the non-emptiness. Results concerning the emptiness follow as a consequence of a generalization of Clifford’s theorem for line bundles on curves to vector bundles on surfaces.     

Stable bundles on 3-fold hypersurfaces

Using monads, we construct a large class of stable bundles of rank 2 and 3 on 3-fold hypersurfaces, and study the set of all possible Chern classes of stable vector bundles.     

Rank 2 stable vector bundles on Fano 3-folds of index 2

Let X be a Fano 3-fold of the first kind with index 2. In this paper, we characterize the chern classes of rank 2 stable vector bundles on X and we find a bound for the least twist of a rank 2 reflexive sheaf on X which has a global section.     

Bubble tree compactification of moduli spaces of vector bundles on surfaces

We announce some results on compactifying moduli spaces of rank 2 vector bundles on surfaces by spaces of vector bundles on trees of surfaces. This is thought as an algebraic counterpart of the so-called bubbling of vector bundles and connections in differential geometry. The new moduli spaces are algebraic spaces arising as quotients by group actions according to a result of Kollár. As an example, the compactification of the space of stable rank 2 vector bundles with Chern classes c ₁ = 0, c ₁ = 2 on the projective plane is studied in more detail. Proofs are only indicated and will appear in separate papers.     

Holomorphic vector bundles on non-algebraic surfacesFibrés vectoriels holomorphes sur les surfaces non algébriques

The existence problem for holomorphic structures on vector bundles over non-algebraic surfaces is, in general, still open. We solve this problem in the case of rank 2 vector bundles over K3 surfaces and in the case of vector bundles of arbitrary rank over all known surfaces of class VII. Our methods, which are based on Donaldson theory and deformation theory, can be used to solve the existence problem of holomorphic vector bundles on further classes of non-algebraic surfaces.

Globally generated vector bundles on a smooth quadric surface

We give the classification of globally generated vector bundles of rank 2 on a smooth quadric surface with c1(2,2)in terms of the indices of the bundles,and extend the result to arbitrary higher rank case.We also investigate their indecomposability and give the sufficient and necessary condition on numeric data of vector bundles for indecomposability.     

Finding ein components in the moduli spaces of stable rank 2 bundles on the projective 3-space

Some method is proposed for finding Ein components in moduli spaces of stable rank 2 vector bundles with first Chern class c₁ = 0 on the projective 3-space. We formulate and illustrate a conjecture on the growth rate of the number of Ein components in dependence on the numbers of the second Chern class. We present a method for calculating the spectra of the above bundles, a recurrent formula, and an explicit formula for computing the number of the spectra of these bundles.     

Mod 2 cohomology of combinatorial Grassmannians

Matroid bundles, introduced by MacPherson, are combinatorial analogues of real vector bundles. This paper sets up the foundations of matroid bundles. It defines a natural transformation from isomorphism classes of real vector bundles to isomorphism classes of matroid bundles. It then gives a transformation from matroid bundles to spherical quasifibrations, by showing that the geometric realization of a matroid bundle is a spherical quasifibration. The poset of oriented matroids of a fixed rank classifies matroid bundles, and the above transformations give a splitting from topology to combinatorics back to topology. A consequence is that the mod 2 cohomology of the poset of rank k oriented matroids (this poset classifies matroid bundles) contains the free polynomial ring on the first k Stiefel-Whitney classes.     

Rank 2 Ample Vector Bundles on Some Smooth Rational Surfaces

Several classification results for ample vector bundles of rank 2 on Hirzebruch surfaces, and on Del Pezzo surfaces, are obtained. In particular, we classify rank 2 ample vector bundles with _c2 less than seven on Hirzebruch surfaces, and with _c2 less than four on Del Pezzo surfaces.     

Rank 4 vector bundles on the quintic threefold

By the results of the author and Chiantini in [3], on a general quintic threefold X⊂P ⁴ the minimum integer p for which there exists a positive dimensional family of irreducible rank p vector bundles on X without intermediate cohomology is at least three. In this paper we show that p≤4, by constructing series of positive dimensional families of rank 4 vector bundles on X without intermediate cohomology. The general member of such family is an indecomposable bundle from the extension class Ext ¹ (E, F), for a suitable choice of the rank 2 ACM bundles E and F on X. The existence of such bundles of rank p=3 remains under question.     

Stratified-algebraic vector bundles of small rank

We investigate vector bundles on real algebraic varieties. Our goal is to construct rank 2 real and complex stratified-algebraic vector bundles with prescribed Stiefel–Whitney and Chern classes, respectively. We obtain a partial solution of this problem and present two applications.     

Maximal subbundles of vector bundles on a curve

For a rank 2 vector bundle E on a non-singular projective curve of genus g, the theorem of Nagata tells us that deg E-2 max deg Fg where the maximum is taken over all sub line bundles F of E. We generalize this result to vector bundles of arbitrary rank.     

Remarks on uniform bundles on projective spaces

On projective spaces of dimension \(d\ge 2\) defined over a field of positive characteristic we construct rank \(d+1\) uniform toric but non-homogeneous bundles, which do not exists in characteristic zero. These bundles are obtained by choosing suitable equivariant extensions of the Frobenius pullbacks of \(T_{\mathbb {P}^d}\) by a line bundle.     

A few splitting criteria for vector bundles

We prove a few splitting criteria for vector bundles on a quadric hypersurface and Grassmannians. We give also some cohomological splitting conditions for rank 2 bundles on multiprojective spaces. The tools are monads and a Beilinson’s type spectral sequence generalized by Costa and Miró-Roig.      

Existence of Indecomposable Rank Two Vector Bundles on Higher Dimensional Toric Varieties

In the mid 1970s, Hartshorne conjectured that, for all n > 7, any rank 2 vector bundles on ? ⁿ is a direct sum of line bundles. This conjecture remains still open. In this paper, we construct indecomposable rank two vector bundles on a large class of Fano toric varieties. Unfortunately, this class does not contain ? ⁿ .     

Some results on special stable vector bundles of rank 3 on algebraic curves

The authors discuss the existence and classification of stable vector bundles of rank 3, with 2 3 or 4 linearly independent holomorphic sections. The sets of all such bundles are denoted by ω3^2,d and w3 respectively. Our argument leads to sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of both kinds of bundles. The conclusion is very interesting because of its contradiction to the conjectured dimension formula of stable bundles. Finally, we give a preliminary classification of ω3^2,4 and a complete discussion on the structure of ω3^3,2/3g＋2.     

A residue calculus approach to the uniform Artin-Rees lemma

The uniform Artin-Rees lemma has been proved by C. Huneke using algebraic methods. We give a new proof for this result in the analytic setting, using residue calculus and a method involving complexes of Hermitian vector bundles. We also have to introduce a type of product of complexes of vector bundles, which may be applicable in the solution of other division problems with respect to product ideals.     

On some moduli spaces of stable vector bundles on cubic and quartic threefolds

We study certain moduli spaces of stable vector bundles of rank 2 on cubic and quartic threefolds. In many cases under consideration, it turns out that the moduli space is complete and irreducible and a general member has vanishing intermediate cohomology. In one case, all except one component of the moduli space has such vector bundles.
