We review the notion of Gieseker stability for torsion-free Higgs sheaves. This notion is a natural generalization of the classical notion of Gieseker stability for torsion-free coherent sheaves. We prove some basic properties that are similar to the classical ones for torsion-free coherent sheaves over projective alge…

We investigate a semi-continuity property for stability conditions for sheaves that is important for the problem of variation of the moduli spaces as the stability condition changes. We place this in the context of a notion of stability previously considered by the authors, called multi-Gieseker-stability, that general…

Characterizes stable sheaves for equality in orbifold BG inequality.

We introduce a notion of stability for sheaves with respect to several polarisations that generalises the usual notion of Gieseker-stability. We prove, under a boundedness assumption, which we show to hold on threefolds or for rank two sheaves on base manifolds of arbitrary dimension, that semistable sheaves have a pro…

We investigate Chow stability of projective bundles P(E) where E is a strictly Gieseker stable bundle over a base manifold that has constant scalar curvature. We show that, for suitable polarisations L, the pair (P(E),L) is Chow stable and give examples for which it is not asymptotically Chow stable.

The paper proves estimates for vortex-type equations on compact Riemann surfaces.

Paper generalizes balanced metrics existence to singular cases using Quot-scheme limit.

We prove by Hilbert-Mumford criterion that a slope stable polarized weighted pointed nodal curve is Chow asymptotic stable. This generalizes the result of Caporaso on stability of polarized nodal curves, and of Hasset on weighted pointed stable curves polarized by the weighted dualizing sheaves. It also solved a questi…

We prove the stability of the Gieseker point of an irreducible homogeneous bundle over a rational homogeneous space. As an application we get a sharp upper estimate for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian of an arbitrary Kaehler metric on a compact Hermitian symmetric spaces of ABCD--type.

The study proves a key inequality for specific types of three-dimensional spaces.

We provide an algebraic framework for quantization of Hermitian metrics that are solutions of the Hitchin equation for Higgs bundles over a projective manifold. Using Geometric Invariant Theory, we introduce a notion of balanced metrics in this context. We show that balanced metrics converge at the quantum limit toward…

We survey recent progress in the study of moduli of vector bundles on higher-dimensional base manifolds. In particular, we discuss an algebro-geometric construction of an analogue for the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck compactification and explain how to use moduli spaces of quiver representations to show that Gieseker-Maruyama m…

Establishes Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for nef and big classes.

We consider Bridgeland stability conditions for three-folds conjectured by Bayer-Macrì-Toda in the case of Picard rank one. We study the differential geometry of numerical walls, characterizing when they are bounded, discussing possible intersections, and showing that they are essentially regular. Next, we prove that w…

We introduce a notion of Gieseker stability for a filtered holomorphic vector bundle $F$ over a projective manifold. We relate it to an analytic condition in terms of hermitian metrics on $F$ coming from a construction of the Geometric Invariant Theory (G.I.T). These metrics are balanced in the sense of S.K. Donaldson.…

The paper proves a Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem for normal varieties and semistable bundles.

We bound two global invariants of cusped hyperbolic manifolds: the length of the shortest closed geodesic (the systole), and the radius of the biggest embedded ball (the inradius). We give an upper bound for the systole, expressed in terms of the dimension and simplicial volume. We find a positive lower bound on the in…

We classify all closed non-orientable P2-irreducible 3-manifolds with complexity up to 7, fixing two mistakes in our previous complexity-up-to-6 classification. We show that there is no such manifold with complexity less than 6, five with complexity 6 (the four flat ones and the filling of the Gieseking manifold, which…

We classify all closed non-orientable P2-irreducible 3-manifolds having complexity up to 6 and we describe some having complexity 7. We show in particular that there is no such manifold with complexity less than 6, and that those having complexity 6 are precisely the 4 flat non-orientable ones and the filling of the Gi…

We study the change of moduli spaces of Gieseker-semistable torsion free rank-$2$ sheaves on algebraic surfaces as we vary the polarizations. When the surfaces are rational with an effective anti-canonical divisor, the moduli spaces are linked by a series of flips (blowups and blowdowns). Using these results, we comput…

We establish the correspondence between tame harmonic bundles and $μ_L$-stable parabolic Higgs bundles with trivial characteristic numbers. We also show the Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for $μ_L$-stable parabolic Higgs bundles. Then we show that any local system on a smooth quasi projective variety can be deforme…

We construct a compactification $M^{μss}$ of the Uhlenbeck-Donaldson type for the moduli space of slope stable framed bundles. This is a kind of a moduli space of slope semistable framed sheaves. We show that there exists a projective morphism $γ\colon M^{ss} \to M^{μss}$, where $M^{ss}$ is the moduli space of S-equiva…

Starting with an ideal triangulation of the interior of a compact 3-manifold M with boundary, no component of which is a 2-sphere, we provide a construction, called an inflation of the ideal triangulation, to obtain a strongly related triangulations of M itself. Besides a step-by-step algorithm for such a construction,…

The Miyaoka-Yau inequality is proven for certain singular varieties with big canonical or anticanonical divisors.

In this paper we study the relationship between three compactifications of the moduli space of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a fixed Hermitian vector bundle over a projective algebraic manifold of arbitrary dimension. Via the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem, this space is analytically isomorphic to the moduli spa…

In this paper, we will compute the dimension of the space of spun and ordinary normal surfaces in an ideal triangulation of the interior of a compact 3-manifold with incompressible tori or Klein bottle components. Spun normal surfaces have been described in unpublished work of Thurston. We also define a boundary map fr…

Introduces valuative stability for polarised varieties, equivalent to K-stability.

The homology groups of many natural sequences of groups $\{G_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ (e.g. general linear groups, mapping class groups, etc.) stabilize as $n \rightarrow \infty$. Indeed, there is a well-known machine for proving such results that goes back to early work of Quillen. Church and Farb discovered that many sequ…

We can talk about two kinds of stability of the Ricci flow at Ricci flat metrics. One of them is a linear stability, defined with respect to Perelman's functional $\mathcal{F}$. The other one is a dynamical stability and it refers to a convergence of a Ricci flow starting at any metric in a neighbourhood of a considere…

Decomposes J-energy into simpler intersection numbers for stability analysis.

In this work we study properties of stability and non-stability of harmonic maps under the homogeneous Ricci flow. We provide examples where the stability (non-stability) is preserved under the Ricci flow and an example where the Ricci flow does not preserve the stability of an harmonic map.
