An analytical-numerical approach to the Emden-Fowler equation

We investigate the Emden-Fowler equation $u''=-x^ru^p, u(0)=1, u'(0)=0$, with roots in astrophysics, and study the qualitative and quantitative dependence of its solution on the parameters; the analytical work is paralleled by numerical simulations. A special attention is given to estimating the first zero $x_0$ of $u$ in terms of $r, p$. The results are used to address two apparently new issues: first, we solve EF backwards starting from $x_0$; second, we transform it into an overdetermined boundary value problem and decide when is this solvable.

On a boundary value problem related to radiative heat transfer

We consider the boundary value problem $y''=\kappa^2y^n, y(0)=1, y(1)=0,$ relevant to radiative heat transfer, chemical reactions, etc. We use upper/lower envelopes to study the qualitative and quantitative dependence of its solution on parameters, and transform it into an easily solvable initial value problem.

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Rationality and categorical properties of the moduli of instanton bundles on the projective 3-space

We prove the rationality and irreducibility of the moduli space of mathematical instanton vector bundles of arbitrary rank and charge on $\mathbb P^3$. In particular, the result applies to the rank-2 case. This problem was first studied by Barth, Ellingsrud-Stromme, Hartshorne, Hirschowitz-Narasimhan in the late 1970s. We also show that the mathematical instantons of variable rank and charge form a monoidal category. The proof is based on an in-depth analysis of the Barth-Hulek monad-construction and on a detailed description of the moduli space of (framed and unframed) stable bundles on Hirzebruch surfaces.

A Study of the One-Dimensional Heat-Conduction Equation with Radiation

We consider a boundary value problem (BVP) modelling one-dimensional heat-conduction with radiation, which is derived from the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The problem strongly depends on the parameters, making difficult to estimate the solution. We use an analytical approach to determine upper and lower bounds to the exact solution of the BVP, which allows estimating the latter. Finally, we support our theoretical arguments with numerical data, by implementing them into the MAPLE computer program.

Criteria for complete intersections

We obtain criteria for detecting complete intersections in projective varieties. Motivated by a conjecture of Hartshorne concerning subvarieties of projective spaces, we investigate situations when two-codimensional smooth subvarieties of rational homogeneous varieties are complete intersections.

On the rationality of the moduli space of instanton bundles on the projective 3-space

We prove the rationality and irreducibility of the moduli space of---what we call---the endomorphism-general instanton vector bundles of arbitrary rank on the projective space. In particular, we deduce the rationality of the moduli spaces of rank-two mathematical instantons. This problem was first studied by Hartshorne, Hirschowitz-Narasimhan in the late 1970s, and it has been reiterated within the framework of the ICM 2018.

Partially ample subvarieties of projective varieties

We define partially ample subvarieties of projective varieties, generalizing Ottem's work on ample subvarieties, and show their ubiquity. As an application, we obtain a connectedness result for pre-images of subvarieties by morphisms, reminiscent to a problem posed by Fulton-Hansen.

Subvarieties with partially ample normal bundle

We show that local complete intersection subvarieties of smooth projective varieties, which have partially ample normal bundle, possess the G2-property. This generalizes results of Hartshorne and Bădescu-Schneider.

Subvarieties with q-ample normal bundle and q-ample subvarieties

The goal of this article is twofold. On one hand, we study the subvarieties of projective varieties which possess partially ample normal bundle; we prove that they are G2 in the ambient space. This generalizes results of Hartshorne and Bădescu-Schneider. We work with the cohomological partial ampleness introduced by Totaro. On the other hand, we define the concept of a partially ample subvariety, which generalizes the notion of an ample subvariety introduced by Ottem. We prove that partially ample subvarieties enjoy the stronger G3 property. Moreover, we present an application to a connectedness problem posed by Fulton-Hansen and Hartshorne. The results are illustrated with examples.

Vector bundles on projective varieties whose restriction to ample subvarieties split

We systematically study the splitting of vector bundles on a smooth, projective variety, whose restriction to the zero locus of a regular section of an ample vector bundle splits. First, we find ampleness and genericity conditions which ensure that the splitting of the vector bundle along the subvariety implies its global splitting. Second, we obtain a simple splitting criterion for vector bundles on the Grassmannian and on partial flag varieties.

Splitting criteria for vector bundles induced by restrictions to divisors

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 are illustrated with a number of examples. For products of minuscule homogeneous varieties, our results allow to test the splitting of vector bundles by restricting them to products of Schubert 2-planes. The triviality criteria obtained inhere are particularly suited to Frobenius split varieties, whose splitting is defined by a section in the anti-canonical line bundle. As an application, we prove that a vector bundle on a smooth toric variety, whose anti-canonical bundle has stable base locus of co-dimension at least three, is trivial when its restrictions to the invariant divisors are trivial, with trivializations compatible along the various intersections.

About the surjectivity of the Wahl map of nodal curves on K3 surfaces

I correct an error in my article arXiv:0911.5474, concerning the non-surjectivity of the Wahl map of nodal curves on K3 surfaces. I prove that a modification of the Wahl map is indeed non-surjective for nodal curves with a low number of nodes, on arbitrary K3 surfaces. Along the way, I also obtain a lower bound of independent interest for the multiple point Seshadri constants of K3 surfaces with cyclic Picard group.

About the cohomological dimension of certain stratified varieties

We determine an upper bound for the cohomological dimension of the complement of a closed subset in a projective variety which possesses an appropriate stratification. We apply the result to several particular cases, including the Bialynicki-Birula stratification; in this latter case, the bound is optimal.

Vector bundles on projective varieties which split along q-ample subvarieties

Let Y be a subvariety of a smooth projective variety X, and V a vector bundle on X. Given that the restriction of V to Y splits into a direct sum of line bundles, we ask whether V splits on X. I answer this question in affirmative if holds: Y is a q-ample subvariety of X (for appropriate q), it admits sufficiently many embedded deformations, and is very general within its own deformation space. The result goes beyond the previously known splitting criteria for vector bundles corresponding to restrictions. It allows to treat in a unified way examples arising in totally different situations. I discuss the particular cases of zero loci of sections in globally generated vector bundles, on one hand, and sources of multiplicative group actions (corresponding to Bialynicki-Birula decompositions), on the other hand. Finally, I elaborate on the symplectic and orthogonal Grassmannians; I prove that the splitting of any vector bundle on them can be read off from the restriction to a low dimensional `sub'-Grassmannian.

Semi-stable vector bundles on fibred varieties

Let $π:Y\to X$ be a surjective morphism between two irreducible, smooth complex projective varieties with ${\rm dim}Y>{\rm dim}X >0$. We consider polarizations of the form $L_c=L+c\cdotπ^*A$ on $Y$, with $c>0$, where $L,A$ are ample line bundles on $Y,X$ respectively. For $c$ sufficiently large, we show that the restriction of a torsion free sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $Y$ to the generic fibre $Φ$ of $π$ is semi-stable as soon as $\mathcal{F}$ is $L_c$-semi-stable; conversely, if $\mathcal{F}\otimes\mathcal{O}_Φ$ is $L$-stable on $Φ$, then $\mathcal{F}$ is $L_c$-stable. We obtain explicit lower bounds for $c$ satisfying these properties. Using this result, we discuss the construction of semi-stable vector bundles on Hirzebruch surfaces and on $\mathbb{P}^2$-bundles over $\mathbb{P}^1$, and establish the irreducibility and the rationality of the corresponding moduli spaces.
