The Coble Quadric

2023

Given a smooth genus three curve $C$, the moduli space of rank two stable vector bundles on C with trivial determinant embeds in $\mathbb{P}^8$ as a hypersurface whose singular locus is the Kummer threefold of $C$; this hypersurface is the Coble quartic. Gruson, Sam and Weyman realized that this quartic could be constructed from a general skew-symmetric fourform in eight variables. Using the lines contained in the quartic, we prove that a similar construction allows to recover SU$_C(2, L)$, the moduli space of rank two stable vector bundles on C with fixed determinant of odd degree L, as a subvariety of $G(2, 8)$. In fact, each point $p \in C$ defines a natural embedding of SU$_C(2, \mathca…

Classification of n-dimensional subvarieties of G(1, 2n) that can be projected to G(1, n + 1)

2005

A structure theorem is given for n-dimensional smooth subvarieties of the Grassmannian G(1, N); with N >= n + 3, that can be isomorphically projected to G(1, n + 1). A complete classification in the cases N = 2n + 1 and N = 2n follows, as a corollary.

Dimensional interpolation and the Selberg integral

2019

Abstract We show that a version of dimensional interpolation for the Riemann–Roch–Hirzebruch formalism in the case of a grassmannian leads to an expression for the Euler characteristic of line bundles in terms of a Selberg integral. We propose a way to interpolate higher Bessel equations, their wedge powers, and monodromies thereof to non–integer orders, and link the result with the dimensional interpolation of the RRH formalism in the spirit of the gamma conjectures.

On globally generated vector bundles on projective spaces

2009

AbstractA classification is given for globally generated vector bundles E of rank k on Pn having first Chern class c1(E)=2. In particular, we get that they split if k<n unless E is a twisted null-correlation bundle on P3. In view of the well-known correspondence between globally generated vector bundles and maps to Grassmannians, we obtain, as a corollary, a classification of double Veronese embeddings of Pn into a Grassmannian G(k−1,N) of (k−1)-planes in PN.

The quantum chiral Minkowski and conformal superspaces

2010

We give a quantum deformation of the chiral super Minkowski space in four dimensions as the big cell inside a quantum super Grassmannian. The quantization is performed in such way that the actions of the Poincar\'e and conformal quantum supergroups on the quantum Minkowski and quantum conformal superspaces are presented.

On the Energy of Distributions, with Application to the Quaternionic Hopf Fibrations

2001

The energy of an oriented q-distribution ? in a compact oriented manifold M is defined to be the energy of the section of the Grassmannian manifold of oriented q-planes in M induced by ?. In the Grassmannian, the Sasaki metric is considered. We show here a condition for a distribution to be a critical point of the energy functional. In the spheres, we see that Hopf fibrations \(\) are critical points. Later, we prove the instability for these fibrations.

Sato's universal Grassmannian and group extensions

1991

An extension \(\widehat{GL}\) of the symmetry group GL of Sato's universal Grassmannian GM is constructed. The extension plays a similar role to that of the central extension \(\widehat{GL}_{{\text{res}}}\) in the approach of Segal and Wilson to τ functions and KP hierarchy. Our group G contains GLres as a subgroup and the associated τ function is a deformation of the usual τ function, leading to a deformed KP hierarchy. A relation to current algebra of Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimension is discussed.

Projecting 4-folds from G(1, 5) to G(1, 4)

2002

We study 4-dimensional subvarieties of the Grassmannian G(1,5) with singular locus of dimension at most 1 that can be isomorphically projected to G(1,4).

A note on the unirationality of a moduli space of double covers

2010

In this note we look at the moduli space $\cR_{3,2}$ of double covers of genus three curves, branched along 4 distinct points. This space was studied by Bardelli, Ciliberto and Verra. It admits a dominating morphism $\cR_{3,2} \to {\mathcal A}_4$ to Siegel space. We show that there is a birational model of $\cR_{3,2}$ as a group quotient of a product of two Grassmannian varieties. This gives a proof of the unirationality of $\cR_{3,2}$ and hence a new proof for the unirationality of ${\mathcal A}_4$.
