Non–globally generated bundles on curves

Published in International Mathematics Research Notices, 2022

We study the locus of stable vector bundles on smooth curves that fail to be globally generated. We compute the dimension of this locus and study its irreducibility. Joint work with Sayanta Mandal.

Stability conditions for restrictions of vector bundles on projective surfaces

Published in Michigan Mathematical Journal, 2020

Using Bridgeland stability conditions, we give sufficient criteria for a stable vector bundle on a smooth complex projective surface to remain stable when restricted to a curve. We give a stronger criterion when the vector bundle is a general vector bundle on the plane. As an application, we compute the cohomology of such bundles for curves that lie in the plane or on Hirzebruch surfaces.

The nef cone of the Hilbert scheme of points on rational elliptic surfaces and the cone conjecture

Published in Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, 2020

We compute the nef cone of the Hilbert scheme of points on a general rational elliptic surface. As a consequence of our computation, we show that the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture holds for these nef cones.

Effective cycles on blow-ups of Grassmannians

Published in Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 2018

In this paper we study the pseudoeffective cones of blow-ups of Grassmannians at sets of points. For small numbers of points, the cones are often spanned by proper transforms of Schubert classes. In some special cases, we provide sharp bounds for when the Schubert classes fail to span and we describe the resulting geometry.
