Uniform vector bundles on Fano manifolds and applications

In this paper we give a splitting criterion for uniform vector bundles on Fano manifolds covered by lines. As a consequence, we classify low rank uniform vector bundles on Hermitian symmetric spaces and Fano bundles of rank two on Grassmannians.

An extension of Fujitas non extendability theorem for Grassmannians

In this paper we study smooth complex projective varieties $X$ containing a Grassmannian of lines $G(1,r)$ which appears as the zero locus of a section of a rank two nef vector bundle $E$. Among other things we prove that the bundle $E$ cannot be ample.

Varieties swept out by grassmannians of lines

We classify complex projective varieties of dimension $2r geq 8$ swept out by a family of codimension two grassmannians of lines $mathbb{G}(1,r)$. They are either fibrations onto normal surfaces such that the general fibers are isomorphic to $G(1,r)$or the grassmannian $mathbb{G}(1,r+1)$. The cases $r=2$ and $r=3$ are also considered in the more general context of varieties swept out by codimension two linear spaces or quadrics.
