A note on Seshadri constants of line bundles on hyperelliptic surfaces

We study Seshadri constants of ample line bundles on hyperelliptic surfaces. We obtain new lower bounds and compute the exact values of Seshadri constants in some cases. Our approach uses results of F. Serrano (1990), B. Harboune and J. Roe (2008), F. Bastianelli (2009), A.L. Knutsen, W. Syzdek and T. Szemberg (2009).Comment: 10 page

On k-jet ampleness of line bundles on hyperelliptic surfaces

We study k-jet ampleness of line bundles on hyperelliptic surfaces using vanishing theorems. Our main result states that on a hyperelliptic surface of an arbitrary type a line bundle of type (m,m) with m\geq k+2 is k-jet ample.Comment: 19 page

A note on k-very ampleness of line bundles on general blow-ups of hyperelliptic surfaces

We study k-very ampleness of line bundles on blow-ups of hyperelliptic surfaces at r very general points. We obtain a numerical condition on the number of points for which a line bundle on the blow-up of a hyperelliptic surface at these r points gives an embedding of order k.Comment: 9 page

On the non-existence of orthogonal instanton bundles on P^(2N+1)

In this paper we prove that there do not exist orthogonal instanton bundles on P^(2n+1) . In order to demonstrate this fact, we propose a new way of representing the invariant, introduced by L. Costa and G. Ottaviani, related to a rank 2n instanton bundle on P^(2n+1) .Comment: 10 page

On the classification of certain geproci sets I

In this short note we develop new methods toward the ultimate goal of classifying geproci sets in $\mathbb P^3$. We apply these method to show that among sets of $16$ points distributed evenly on $4$ skew lines, up to projective equivalence there are only two distinct geproci sets. We give different geometric distinctions between these sets. The methods we develop here can be applied in a more general set-up; this is the context of follow-up work in progress.Comment: 12 page
