Motivated by various equivalent versions of the SHGH conjecture for $\mathbb P^2$ blown up at very general points, we propose a similar conjecture for Hirzebruch surfaces. We prove that this conjecture is true for the Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb F_e$ blown up at $r\leqslant e+5$ very general points.
In this article we compute Seshadri constants of ample line bundles on the blowup of Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_e$ at $r\leqslant e+3$ very general points. Similarly, we compute Seshadri constants on the blowups of certain decomposable ruled surfaces over smooth curves of non-zero genus. We also prove some results related to bounded negativity of blowups of Hirzebruch surfaces and ruled surfaces.
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve defined over the field of complex numbers. Let $E$ be a vector bundle on $C$, and fix an integer $d\geqslant 1$. Let $\mc Q:={\rm Quot}(E,d)$ be the Quot Scheme which parameterizes all torsion quotients of $E$ of degree $d$. In this article, we survey some recent results on various invariants of $\mc Q$.
Let $C$ be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$, with $g_C \geqslant 2$. Let $E$ be a vector bundle on $C$ of rank $r$, with $r\geqslant 2$. Let $\mc Q:=\mc Q(E,\,d)$ be the Quot Scheme parameterizing torsion quotients of $E$ of degree $d$. We explicitly describe all deformations of $\mc Q$.
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb{C}$ of genus $g(C)\geqslant 3$ (respectively, $g(C)=2$). Fix integers $r,k$ such that $2\leqslant k\leqslant r-2$, (respectively, $3\leqslant k\leqslant r-2$). Let $\mathcal{Q}:={\rm Quot}_{C/\mathbb{C}}(\mathcal{O}^{\oplus r}_C, k, d)$ be the Quot scheme parametrizing rank $k$ and degree $d$ quotients of the trivial bundle of rank $r$. Let $\mathcal{Q}_L$ denote the closed subscheme of the Quot scheme parametrizing quotients such that the quotient sheaf has determinant $L$. It is known that $\mathcal{Q}_L$ is an integral, normal, local complete intersection, locally factorial scheme of Picard rank 2, when $d\gg0$. In this article we compute the nef cone, effective cone and canonical divisor of this variety when $d\gg0$. We show this variety is Fano iff $r=2k+1$.
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb C$ of genus $g\geqslant 1$. Let $E$ be a vector bundle on $C$ of rank $r$ and degree $e$. Given integers $k_1,k_2,d_1,d_2$ such that $r>k_1>k_2>0$, let $\mathcal Q^{k_1,k_2}_{d_1,d_2}(E)$ denote the nested Quot scheme which parametrizes pair of quotients $[E \twoheadrightarrow F_1 \twoheadrightarrow F_2]$ such that $F_i$ has rank $k_i$ and degree $d_i$. We show that these nested Quot schemes are integral, local complete intersection schemes when $d_1\gg d_2\gg 0$ or $d_2\gg d_1\gg 0$.
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$ of genus $g(C)>0$. Let $E$ be a locally free sheaf on $C$ of rank $r$ and degree $e$. Let $\mathcal{Q}:={\rm Quot}_{C/\mathbb{C}}(E,k,d)$ denote the Quot scheme of quotients of $E$ of rank $k$ and degree $d$. For $k>0$ and $d\gg 0$ we compute the Picard group of $\mathcal{Q}$.
Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $S^{[n_1,\dots,n_k]}$ denote the nested Hilbert scheme which parametrizes zero-dimensional subschemes $\xi_{n_1} \subset \ldots \subset \xi_{n_k}$ where $\xi_i$ is a closed subscheme of $S$ of length $i$. We show that $S^{[n,m]}$, $S^{[n,m,m+1]}$, $S^{[n,n+1,m]}$, $S^{[n,n+1,m,m+1]}$, $S^{[n,n+2,m]}$ and $S^{[n,n+2,m,m+1]}$ are irreducible.
Let $E$ be a vector bundle on a smooth complex projective curve $C$ of genus at least two. Let $\mathcal{Q}(E,d)$ be the Quot scheme parameterizing the torsion quotients of $E$ of degree $d$. We compute the cohomologies of the tangent bundle $T_{\mathcal{Q}(E,d)}$. In particular, the space of infinitesimal deformations of $\mathcal{Q}(E,d)$ is computed. Kempf and Fantechi computed the space of infinitesimal deformations of $\mathcal{Q}(\mathcal{O}_C,d)\,=\, C^{(d)}$. We also explicitly describe the infinitesimal deformations of $\mathcal{Q}(E,d)$.
Let $E$ be a vector bundle of rank $n$ on $\mathbb{P}^1$. Fix a positive integer $d$. Let $\mathcal{Q}(E,d)$ denote the Quot scheme of torsion quotients of $E$ of degree $d$ and let $Gr(E,d)$ denote the Grassmann bundle that parametrizes the $d$-dimensional quotients of the fibers of $E$. We compute Seshadri constants of ample line bundles on $\mathcal{Q}(E,d)$ and $Gr(E,d)$.
We prove that a double cover of $\mathbb{P}^2$ ramified along a general smooth curve B of degree $2s$, for $s \geq 3$, supports a rank 2 special Ulrich bundle.
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 3$. Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth projective surface over $k$. Fix an integer $n \geq 1$ and let ${\mathcal{H}{\it ilb}}_X^n$ be the Hilbert scheme parameterizing effective $0$-cycles of length $n$ on $X$. The aim of the present article is to find the $S$-fundamental group scheme and Nori's fundamental group scheme of the Hilbert scheme $\mathcal{H}{\it ilb}_X^n$.
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $C$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve over $k$. Let $E$ be a locally free sheaf on $C$ of rank $\geq 2$. Fix an integer $d \geq 2$. Let $\mathcal{Q}$ denote the Quot scheme parameterizing torsion quotients of $E$ of degree $d$. In this article we compute the $S$-fundamental group scheme of $\mathcal{Q}$.
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb C$. Let $n,d\geq 1$. Let $\mathcal Q$ be the Quot scheme parameterizing torsion quotients of the vector bundle $\mathcal O^n_C$ of degree $d$. In this article we study the nef cone of $\mathcal Q$. We give a complete description of the nef cone in the case of elliptic curves. We compute it in the case when $d=2$ and $C$ very general, in terms of the nef cone of the second symmetric product of $C$. In the case when $n\geq d$ and $C$ very general, we give upper and lower bounds for the Nef cone. In general, we give a necessary and sufficient criterion for a divisor on $\mathcal Q$ to be nef.
Let $C$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve defined over $\mathbb{R}$ such that $C(\mathbb{R}) = \emptyset$. Let $r>0$ and $d$ be integers which are coprime. Let $L$ be a line bundle on $C$ which corresponds to an $\mathbb{R}$ point of ${\rm Pic}^d_{C/\mathbb{R}}$. Let $\mathcal{M}_{r,L}$ be the moduli space of stable bundles on the complexification of $C$ of rank $r$ and determinant $L$. We classify birational types of $\mathcal{M}_{r,L}$ over $\mathbb{R}$.
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over $k$. Fix an integer $n \geq 2$, and let $S^n(X)$ be the $n$-fold symmetric product of $X$. In this article we find the $S$-fundamental group scheme and Nori's fundamental group scheme of $S^n(X)$.
Voevodsky has conjectured that numerical and smash equivalence coincide on a smooth projective variety. We prove this conjecture holds for uniruled 3-folds and for one dimensional cycles on products of Kummer surfaces.
Voevodsky has conjectured that numerical and smash equivalence coincide on a smooth projective variety. We prove the conjecture for one dimensional cycles on an arbitrary product of curves. As a consequence we get that numerically trivial 1-cycles on an abelian variety are smash nilpotent.
