On the existence of Ulrich vector bundles on some irregular surfaces

We establish the existence of rank two Ulrich vector bundles on surfaces that are either of maximal Albanese dimension or with irregularity 1, under many embeddings. In particular we get the first known examples of Ulrich vector bundles on irregular surfaces of general type. Another consequence is that every surface such that either $q \le 1$ or $q \ge 2$ and its minimal model has rank one, carries a simple rank two Ulrich vector bundle.

Effective cycles on the symmetric product of a curve, I: the diagonal cone. (with an appendix by Ben Moonen)

In this paper and in its sequel [BKLV], we investigate the cone ${\rm Pseff}_n(C_d)$ of pseudoeffective $n$-cycles in the symmetric product $C_d$ of a smooth curve $C$. In the present paper, we study the convex-geometric properties of the cone generated by the $n$-dimensional diagonal cycles, which we call the $n$-dimensional diagonal cone. We prove that the $n$-dimensional diagonal cone is a perfect face of ${\rm Pseff}_n(C_d)$ along which ${\rm Pseff}_n(C_d)$ is locally finitely generated.

Irreducibility and components rigid in moduli of the Hilbert scheme of smooth curves

Denote by $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,r}$ the Hilbert scheme of smooth curves, that is the union of components whose general point corresponds to a smooth irreducible and non-degenerate curve of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in $\mathbb P^r$. A component of $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,r}$ is rigid in moduli if its image under the natural map $π:\mathcal{H}_{d,g,r} \dashrightarrow \mathcal{M}_{g}$ is a one point set. In this note, we provide a proof of the fact that $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,r}$ has no components rigid in moduli for $g > 0$ and $r=3$, from which it follows that the only smooth projective curves embedded in $\mathbb P^3$ whose only deformations are given by projective transformations are the twisted cubic curves. In case $r \geq 4$, we also prove the non-existence of a component of $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,r}$ rigid in moduli in a certain restricted range of $d$, $g>0$ and $r$. In the course of the proofs, we establish the irreducibility of $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,3}$ beyond the range which has been known before.

Effective cycles on the symmetric product of a curve, II: the Abel-Jacobi faces

In this paper, which is a sequel of [BKLV], we study the convex-geometric properties of the cone of pseudoeffective $n$-cycles in the symmetric product $C_d$ of a smooth curve $C$. We introduce and study the Abel-Jacobi faces, related to the contractibility properties of the Abel-Jacobi morphism and to classical Brill-Noether varieties. We investigate when Abel-Jacobi faces are non-trivial, and we prove that for $d$ sufficiently large (with respect to the genus of $C$) they form a maximal chain of perfect faces of the tautological pseudoeffective cone (which coincides with the pseudoeffective cone if $C$ is a very general curve).

Moriwaki divisors and the augmented base loci of divisors on the moduli space of curves

We study the cone of Moriwaki divisors on \bar{M}_g by means of augmented base loci. Using a result of Moriwaki, we prove that an R-divisor D satisfies the strict Moriwaki inequalities if and only if the augmented base locus of D is contained in the boundary of \bar{M}_g. Then we draw some interesting consequences on the Zariski decomposition of divisors on \bar{M}_g, on the minimal model program of \bar{M}_g and on the log canonical models \bar{M}_g(α).

Augmented base loci and restricted volumes on normal varieties, II: The case of real divisors

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field and let $Z$ be a subvariety. Let $D$ be an $\mathbb R$-Cartier $\mathbb R$-divisor on $X$. Given an expression $(\ast) \ D \sim_{\mathbb R} t_1 H_1 + \ldots + t_s H_s$ with $t_i \in \mathbb R$ and $H_i$ very ample, we define the $(\ast)$-restricted volume of $D$ to $Z$ and we show that it coincides with the usual restricted volume when $Z \not\subseteq \mathbf{B}_+(D)$. Then, using some recent results of Birkar (arXiv:1312.0239), we generalize to $\mathbb R$-divisors the two main results of arXiv:1305.4284 by Boucksom, Cacciola and the author: The first, proved for smooth complex projective varieties by Ein, Lazarsfeld, Mustaţă, Nakamaye and Popa, is the characterization of $\mathbf{B}_+(D)$ as the union of subvarieties on which the $(\ast)$-restricted volume vanishes; the second is that $X - \mathbf{B}_+(D)$ is the largest open subset on which the Kodaira map defined by large and divisible $(\ast)$-multiples of $D$ is an isomorphism.

Nakamaye's theorem on log canonical pairs

We generalize Nakamaye's description, via intersection theory, of the augmented base locus of a big and nef divisor on a normal pair with log-canonical singularities or, more generally, on a normal variety with non-lc locus of dimension at most 1. We also generalize Ein-Lazarsfeld-Mustata-Nakamaye-Popa's description, in terms of valuations, of the subvarieties of the restricted base locus of a big divisor on a normal pair with klt singularities.

Augmented base loci and restricted volumes on normal varieties

We extend to normal projective varieties defined over an arbitrary algebraically closed field a result of Ein, Lazarsfeld, Mustaţă, Nakamaye and Popa characterizing the augmented base locus (aka non-ample locus) of a line bundle on a smooth projective complex variety as the union of subvarieties on which the restricted volume vanishes. We also give a proof of the folklore fact that the complement of the augmented base locus is the largest open subset on which the Kodaira map defined by large and divisible multiples of the line bundle is an isomorphism.

Projective normality and the generation of the ideal of an Enriques surface

We give necessary and sufficient criteria for a smooth Enriques surface S in P^r to be scheme-theoretically an intersection of quadrics. Moreover we prove in many cases that, when S contains plane cubic curves, the intersection of the quadrics containing S is the union of S and the 2-planes spanned by the plane cubic curves. We also give a new (very quick) proof of the projective normality of S if the degree of S is at least 12.

On the extendability of elliptic surfaces of rank two and higher

We study threefolds X in a projective space having as hyperplane section a smooth surface with an elliptic fibration. We first give a general theorem about the possible embeddings of such surfaces with Picard number two. More precise results are then proved for Weierstrass fibrations, both of rank two and higher. In particular we prove that a Weierstrass fibration of rank two that is not a K3 surface is not hyperplane section of a locally complete intersection threefold and we give some conditions, for many embeddings of Weierstrass fibrations of any rank, under which every such threefold must be a cone.

Brill-Noether theory of curves on Enriques surfaces I: the positive cone and gonality

We study the existence of linear series on curves lying on an Enriques surface and general in their complete linear system. Using a method that works also below the Bogomolov-Reider range, we compute, in all cases, the gonality of such curves. We also give a new result about the positive cone of line bundles on an Enriques surface and we show how this relates to the gonality.

Explicit Noether-Lefschetz for arbitrary threefolds

We study the Noether-Lefschetz locus of a very ample line bundle L on an arbitrary smooth threefold Y. Building on results of Green, Voisin and Otwinowska, we give explicit bounds, depending only on the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity properties of L, on the codimension of the components of the Noether-Lefschetz locus of |L|.
