- Secants of Lagrangian Grassmannians
,con Jarek Buczynski, in corso di pubblicazione su Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata, arXiv.


Abstract: We study the dimensions of secant varieties of the Grassmannian of Lagrangian subspaces in a symplectic vector space. We calculate these dimensions for third and fourth secant varieties. Our result is obtained by providing a normal form for four general points on such a Grassmannian and by explicitly calculating the tangent spaces at these four points.

- Sections of homogeneous vector bundles, Journal of Algebra 323 (2010) 2301–2317, arXiv.

Abstract: In this work we give a method for computing sections of homogeneous vector bundles on any rational homogeneous variety G/P of type ADE. Our main tool is the equivalence of categories between homogeneous vector bundles on G/P and finite dimensional representations of a given quiver with relations. Our result generalizes the work of Ottaviani and Rubei Quivers and the cohomology of homogeneous vector bundles, Duke Math. 2006.

- Effective results on Picard bundles via M-regularity, con Francesco Prantil, Le Matematiche 43,1 (2008) 181–203, link.

Abstract: In this paper we study some properties, namely Global Generation and Strong Normal Presentation, of specific types of (twists of) Picard bundles over the Jacobian of a curve. Our main tool is the notion of M-regularity introduced by G. Pareschi and M.Popa.

- The Horrocks-Mumford bundle restricted to planes, Collectanea Mathematica 58,1 (2007) 101–117, arXiv.

Abstract: We study the behavior of the Horrocks-Mumford bundle when restricted to a plane P^2 in P^4, looking for all possible minimal free resolutions for the restricted bundle. To each of the 6 resolutions (4 stable and 2 unstable) we find, we then associate a subvariety of the Grassmannian G(2,4) of planes in P^4. We thus obtain a filtration of the Grassmannian, which we describe in the second part of this work.

- On simplicity and stability of tangent bundles of rational homogeneous varieties, Proceedings of the 2008 Grenoble Summer School “Geometric Methods in Representation Theory”, (Séminaires et Congrès de la Société Mathématique de France), to appear, HAL open archive.

Abstract: Given a rational homogeneous variety G/P where G is complex simple and of type ADE, we prove that the tangent bundles T(G/P) is simple, meaning that its only endomorphisms are scalar multiples of the identity. This result combined with Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence implies stability of th tangent bundle with respect to the anticanonical polarization. Our main tool is the equivalence of categories between homogeneous vector bundles on G/P and finite dimensional representations of a given quiver with relations.

Abstract: Let G(k,n) be the Grassmannian of k-subspaces in an n-dimensional complex vector space, k \ge 3. For a projective variety X, let sigma_s(X) denote its s-secant variety, namely the closure of the union of linear spans of all the s-tuples of independent points lying on X. We classify all defective sigma_s(G(k,n)), for s \le 12.
