Higher secant varieties of curves and the theorem of Nagata on ruled surfaces.
Using the harmonic theory developed by Takegoshi for representation of relative cohomology and the framework of computation of curvature of direct image bundles by Berndtsson, we prove that the higher direct images by a smooth morphism of the relative canonical bundle twisted by a semi-positive vector bundle are locally free and semi-positively curved, when endowed with a suitable Hodge type metric.
If B is a surface in ℙ³ of degree 8 which is the union of two smooth surfaces intersecting transversally then the double covering of ℙ³ branched along B has a non-singular model which is a Calabi-Yau manifold. The aim of this note is to compute the Hodge numbers of this manifold.
In this paper, we consider the problem of determining which topological complex rank-2 vector bundles on non-Kähler elliptic surfaces admit holomorphic structures; in particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of holomorphic rank-2 vector bundles on non-{Kä}hler elliptic surfaces.
