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.     

Virtual moduli cycles and Gromov-Witten invariants of algebraic varieties

In this paper, we define the virtual moduli cycle of moduli spaces with perfect tangent-obstruction theory. The two interesting moduli spaces of this type are moduli spaces of vector bundles over surfaces and moduli spaces of stable morphisms from curves to projective varieties. As an application, we define the Gromov-Witten invariants of smooth projective varieties and prove all its basic properties.

     

Moduli of rank 4 symplectic vector bundles over a curve of genus 2

Let X be a complex projective curve which is smooth and irreducibleof genus 2. The moduli space ₂ of semistable symplectic vectorbundles of rank 4 over X is a variety of dimension 10. Afterassembling some results on vector bundles of rank 2 and odddegree over X, we construct a generically finite cover of ₂by a family of 5-dimensional projective spaces, and outlinesome applications.     

Bogomolov inequality for Higgs parabolic bundles

We show that over some smooth projective varieties every semistable Higgs logarithmic vector bundle is semistable in the ordinary sense, hence satisfies Bogomolov inequality. More generaly, we prove that semistable Higgs parabolic vector bundles of rank two over smooth projective varieties of dimension ≥ 2 satisfy the “parabolic” 'Bogomolov inequality Received: 1 March 1999 / Revised version: 11 June 1999     

A polynomial Hutton theorem with applications

Extending a classical linear result due to Hutton to a nonlinear setting, we prove that a continuous homogeneous polynomial between Banach spaces can be approximated by finite rank polynomials if and only if its adjoint can be approximated by finite rank linear operators. Among other consequences, we apply this result to generalize a classical result due to Aron and Schottenloher about the approximation property on spaces of polynomials and a recent result due to Çaliskan and Rueda about the quasi-approximation property on projective symmetric tensor products.     

Homological projective duality

We introduce a notion of homological projective duality for smooth algebraic varieties in dual projective spaces, a homological extension of the classical projective duality. If algebraic varieties X and Y in dual projective spaces are homologically projectively dual, then we prove that the orthogonal linear sections of X and Y admit semiorthogonal decompositions with an equivalent nontrivial component. In particular, it follows that triangulated categories of singularities of these sections are equivalent. We also investigate homological projective duality for projectivizations of vector bundles.     

Tannaka duality for proper Lie groupoids

By replacing the category of smooth vector bundles of finite rank over a manifold with the category of what we call smooth Euclidean fields, which is a proper enlargement of the former, and by considering smooth actions of Lie groupoids on smooth Euclidean fields, we are able to prove a Tannaka duality theorem for proper Lie groupoids. The notion of smooth Euclidean field we introduce here is the smooth, finite dimensional analogue of the usual notion of continuous Hilbert field.     

A canonical partition relation for finite subsets of ω

We prove a canonical partition relation for finite subsets of ω that generalizes Hindman's theorem in much the same way that the Erdös-Rado canonical partition relation generalizes Ramsey's theorem. As an application of this we establish a generalized pigeon-hole principle for infinite dimensional vector spaces over the two element field.     

Moduleability, algebraic structures, and nonlinear properties

We show that some pathological phenomena occur more often than one could expect, existing large algebraic structures (infinite dimensional vector spaces, algebras, positive cones or infinitely generated modules) enjoying certain special properties. In particular we construct infinite dimensional vector spaces of non-integrable, measurable functions, completing some recent results shown in García-Pacheco et al. (2009) [13], García-Pacheco and Seoane-Sepúlveda (2006) [15], Muñoz-Fernández et al. (2008) [20]. We prove, as well, the existence of dense and not barrelled spaces of sequences every non-zero element of which has a finite number of zero coordinates (giving partial answers to a problem originally posed by R.M. Aron and V.I. Gurariy in 2003).     

The Hodge conjecture for certain moduli varieties

For smooth projective varietiesX over ℂ, the Hodge Conjecture states that every rational Cohomology class of type (p, p) comes from an algebraic cycle. In this paper, we prove the Hodge conjecture for some moduli spaces of vector bundles on compact Riemann surfaces of genus 2 and 3.     

Remarks on Ramanujam-Kawamata-Viehweg Vanishing Theorem

In this article we prove a general result on a nef vector bundle E on a projective manifold X of dimension n depending on the vector space H^n,n(X,E): It is also shown that H^n,n(X,E) = 0 for an indecomposable nef rank 2 vector bundles E on some specific type of n dimensional projective manifold X. The same vanishing shown to hold for indecomposable nef and big rank 2 vector bundles on any variety with trivial canonical bundle.     

Vector bundles over projective spaces. The case $${\mathbb F_1}$$

Over the field of one element, vector bundles over n-dimensional projective spaces are considered. It is shown that all line bundles are tensor powers of the Hopf bundle and all vector bundles are direct sums of line bundles. This is in complete analogy to the case of the projective line over an arbitrary classical field, but drastically simpler in comparison with projective spaces of higher dimensions.     

Opers and theta functions

We construct natural maps (the Klein and Wirtinger maps) from moduli spaces of semistable vector bundles over an algebraic curve X to affine spaces, as quotients of the nonabelian theta linear series. We prove a finiteness result for these maps over generalized Kummer varieties (moduli space of torus bundles), leading us to conjecture that the maps are finite in general. The conjecture provides canonical explicit coordinates on the moduli space. The finiteness results give low-dimensional parametrizations of Jacobians (in for generic curves), described by 2Θ functions or second logarithmic derivatives of theta.We interpret the Klein and Wirtinger maps in terms of opers on X. Opers are generalizations of projective structures, and can be considered as differential operators, kernel functions or special bundles with connection. The matrix opers (analogues of opers for matrix differential operators) combine the structures of flat vector bundle and projective connection, and map to opers via generalized Hitchin maps. For vector bundles off the theta divisor, the Szegö kernel gives a natural construction of matrix oper. The Wirtinger map from bundles off the theta divisor to the affine space of opers is then defined as the determinant of the Szegö kernel. This generalizes the Wirtinger projective connections associated to theta characteristics, and the associated Klein bidifferentials.     

A Universal Construction for Moduli Spaces of Decorated Vector Bundles over Curves

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over the field of complex numbers, and fix a homogeneous representation $\rho\colon \mathop{\rm GL}(r)\rightarrow \mathop{\rm GL}(V)$. Then one can associate to every vector bundle $E$ of rank $r$ over $X$ a vector bundle $E_\rho$ with fibre $V$. We would like to study triples $(E,L,\phi)$ where $E$ is a vector bundle of rank $r$ over $X$, $L$ is a line bundle over $X$, and $\phi\colon E_\rho\rightarrow L$ is a nontrivial homomorphism. This setup comprises well known objects such as framed vector bundles, Higgs bundles, and conic bundles. In this paper, we will formulate a general (parameter dependent) semistability concept for such triples, which generalizes the classical Hilbert--Mumford criterion, and we establish the existence of moduli spaces for the semistable objects. In the examples which have been studied so far, our semistability concept reproduces the known ones. Therefore, our results give in particular a unified construction for many moduli spaces considered in the literature.     

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.     

Rational homotopy theory and differential graded category

We propose a generalization of Sullivan’s de Rham homotopy theory to non-simply connected spaces. The formulation is such that the real homotopy type of a manifold should be the closed tensor dg-category of flat bundles on it much the same as the real homotopy type of a simply connected manifold is the de Rham algebra in original Sullivan’s theory. We prove the existence of a model category structure on the category of small closed tensor dg-categories and as a most simple case, confirm an equivalence between the homotopy category of spaces whose fundamental groups are finite and whose higher homotopy groups are finite dimensional rational vector spaces and the homotopy category of small closed tensor dg-categories satisfying certain conditions.     

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.      

Torus fixed points of moduli spaces of stable bundles of rank three

By a result of Klyachko the Euler characteristic of moduli spaces of stable bundles of rank two on the projective plane is determined. Using similar methods we extend this result to bundles of rank three. The fixed point components correspond to moduli spaces of the subspace quiver. Moreover, the stability condition is given by a certain system of linear inequalities so that the generating function of the Euler characteristic can be determined explicitly.     

Stable Rank One and Real Rank Zero for Crossed Products by Finite Group Actions with the Tracial Rokhlin Property

The authors prove that the crossed product of an infinite dimensional simple separable unital C＊-algebra with stable rank one by an action of a finite group with the tracial Rokhlin property has again stable rank one. It is also proved that the crossed product of an infinite dimensional simple separable unital C＊-algebra with real rank zero by an action of a finite group with the tracial Rokhlin property has again real rank zero.     

Grothendieck Groups of Bundles on Varieties over Finite Fields

Let X be an irreducible, projective variety over a finite field, and let A be a sheaf of rings on X. In this paper, we study Grothendieck groups of categories of vector bundles over certain types of ringed spaces (X,A).
