On the projective normality of complete linear series on an algebraic curve.
We introduce a new fundamental group scheme for varieties defined over an algebraically closed (or just perfect) field of positive characteristic and we use it to study generalization of C. Simpson’s results to positive characteristic. We also study the properties of this group and we prove Lefschetz type theorems.
We study Le Potier's strange duality conjecture for moduli spaces of sheaves over generic abelian surfaces. We prove the isomorphism for abelian surfaces which are products of elliptic curves, when the moduli spaces consist of sheaves of equal ranks and ber degree 1. The birational type of the moduli space of sheaves is also investigated. Generalizations to arbitrary product elliptic surfaces are given.
Let be a normal crossing divisor in the smooth complex projective algebraic variety and let be a tubular neighbourhood of in . Using geometrical properties of different intersections of the irreducible components of , and of the embedding , we provide the “normal forms” of a set of geometrical cycles which generate , where is one of the following pairs , , , and . The construction is compatible with the weights in of Deligne’s mixed Hodge structure. The main technical part...
