Holomorphic Sections of a Line Bundle Let Π : L → X Be a Holomorphic Line Bunlde Over a Complex Manifold X Holomorphic sections of a line bundle Let π : L → X be a holomorphic line bunlde over a complex manifold X. A holomorphic section of L is a holomorphic map s : X → L such that π ◦s = Id. We denote by Γ(X, L), or H0(X, L), the set of all holomorphic sections of L over X. Let L be given by local data {Uα,gαβ}. −1 θα≃ L ⊃ π (Uα) −−→ Uα × C∋ (z,sα(z)) ↓ π ↑ s ր X ⊃ Uα∋ z −1 On each Uα, we find a unique holomorphic function sα ∈ O(Uα) so that s(z)= θα (z,sα(z)). −1 −1 Then on any Uα ∩ Uβ = ∅, we have θα (z,sα(z)) = θβ (z,sβ(z)). By the linearity, we have −1 −1 sα(z)θα (z, 1) = sβ(z)θβ (z, 1), (10) i.e., −1 (z,sβ(z)) = sα(z)θβ ◦ θα (z, 1), which implies sβ(z)= gβαsα(z), i.e., sα = gαβsβ, onUα ∩ Uβ. Conversely, any collection {sα}α∈I satisfying the above identity defines a holomorphic section −1 s ∈ Γ(X, L) by setting s := sαeα, where eα(z) := θα (z, 1). Every bundle has a trivial section, given by ζi = 0; the graph of this section is often called the zero section. If there are no other sections, we say that the bundle is said to have no sections. n n n Line bundles over CP Recall CP = {[z0 : z1 : ... : zn]}. Here CP , the set of all complex lines passing through the origin, is defined to a quotient space Cn+1 −{0}/ ∼ where n+1 (z0, z1, ..., zn), (z0, z1, ..., zn) ∈ C −{0} z , z , ..., z λ z , z , ..., z λ ∈ C −{ } are equivalent if and only if ( 0 1 n)= ( 0 1 n) with 0 . 1 (1) The holomorphic line bundle OCP1 (k) of degree k ∈ Z over CP is constructed 1 explicitly as follows. Let CP = U0 ∪ U1 be the standard open covering. Using the standard 0 0 1 1 atlas, take two “trivial” pieces U0 × C and U1 × C with coordinates (z ,ζ ) and (z ,ζ ) 21 i i where z is the base coordinate of Ui and ζ is the fibre coordinate over Ui - and “glue them together” over the set C∗ = CP1\{0, ∞} by the identification 1 ζ1 z = , ζ0 = . (11) 0 z1 (z1)k This line bundle is usually denoted OCP1 (k), or simply O(k) for brevity. The total space k k H of O(k) is the identification space; thus H consists of the disjoint union U0 U1 of two copies of C2 = C × C, with respective coordinates (z0,ζ0) and (z1,ζ1), which have been glued together along C∗ × C according to (11). The transition function from z0to z1 is 1 g (z0)= ; 01 (z0)k 1 1 the other is g10(z )= (z1)k . n CPn In general for higher dimensional case, let {U} = {Uα}α=0 be the standard atlas on . The line bundle OCPn (k) is defined by the transition functions z k g ([z]) = β . (12) αβ z α 0 1 0 1 z z k 1 In particular, when n = 1, g01([z]) = g01([z , z ]) = g01([ z1 : 1]) = z0 , i.e., g01(λ) = λk which is the same formula above. 1 2 (2) For each point [Z] in CP , let ℓ[Z] be the line in C represented by this point. Show 1 that the family {ℓ[Z] | [Z] ∈ CP } may be regarded as a holomorphic line bundle in the 1 2 following manner: Set L = {([Z],ζ) ∈ CP × C | ζ ∈ ℓ[Z]}, with projection to the first factor. This holomorphic line bundle is called the tautological bundle. Since there is a natural holomorphic map from L ∩ (CP1 × C) to C, by using the fact that a holomorphic map s : CP1 → C2 must be constant to show that L has no sections. In general for higher dimensional case, let us define a line bundle over CPn by assigning a one dimensional vector space at each point [ℓ] ∈ CPn: {([ℓ], v) ∈ CPn × Cn+1 | v ∈ ℓ}. Here ℓ is a complex line in Cn+1 passing through the origin. This defines a line bundle L, which is called the tautological line bundle over CPn. As above, such line bundle L has no section. 22 CPn n Let us find out the transition functions of the line bundle L. Let = ∪α=0Uα be the standard open covering. A canonical trivialization of L over Uα is given by −1 θα : π (Uα) ≃ Uα × C ([ℓ], z) → ([ℓ], zα) −1 C C where z = (z0, ..., zn). The transition maps gαβ([ℓ]) = θα ◦ θβ ([ℓ]) : → are given by zα w → · w, where [ℓ] = [z0 : ... : zn]. Then by (12), it concludes that k = −1 and hence the zβ tautological line bundle L = OCPn (−1). (3) When k < 0, the bundle O(k) has no sections. In fact, since the tautological line k bundle is O(−1), then O(k) = O(−1) ⊗| |. As in (2), any holomorphic section of O(−1) induces a holomorphic map from CPn → C so that such map must be constant and hence zero. Similarly, any holomorphic section of O(−1)⊗|k| alsi induces a holomorphic map from CPn to C so that it is a zero section. When k = 0, O(k) is trivial bundle so that any holomorphic section is a holomorphic map from CPn to C. By the maximum principle, the trivial bundle has zero section only. d When k > 0, O(k) always has holomorphic sections. Let Symn denote the space of homogeneous polynomials of degree d on Cn. Let f be any homogeneous polynomial of d d z0, ..., zn of degree d. Then f = (zα) fα = (zβ) fβ holds on Uα ∩ Uβ where fα is the non- d homogeneous polynomial obtained by dividing f with (zα) . In other words, fα = gαβfβ zβ d holds on U ∩ U , where g = is the transition function for OCPn (k). α β αβ zα k Therefore, the space of holomorphic sections of OCPn (k) is equal to Symn+1 for k > 0 and is trivial otherwise. In particular, the homogeneneous coordinate functions are sections of the line bundle O(−1). Here we use the notation O(1) := O(−1)∗, O(k) := O(1)⊗k = O(1) ⊗ ... ⊗ O(1) (k − times) and O(−k) := O(−1)⊗k. As a consequence, we have Proposition 3.2 ([Demailly09], corollary (15.6), p. 278) n + k if k ≥ 0, 0 CPn dim H ( , O(k)) = n 0, ifk< 0. 23 Theorem 3.3 (Grothendieck lemma, [H05], p.244) Every holomorphic vector bundle E on 1 CP is isomorphic to a holomorphic vector bundle of the form ⊕O(aj ). The ordered sequence a1 ≥ a2 ≥ ... ≥ ar is uniquely determined. Grothendieck lemma no longer holds for n > 1. A vector bunlde on CPn for n ≥ 2 is a direct sum of line bundle is equivalent to some geometric and topological condition [K90].

  • Stability of Tautological Bundles on Symmetric Products of Curves
    STABILITY OF TAUTOLOGICAL BUNDLES ON SYMMETRIC PRODUCTS OF CURVES ANDREAS KRUG Abstract. We prove that, if C is a smooth projective curve over the complex numbers, and E is a stable vector bundle on C whose slope does not lie in the interval [−1, n − 1], then the associated tautological bundle E[n] on the symmetric product C(n) is again stable. Also, if E is semi-stable and its slope does not lie in the interval (−1, n − 1), then E[n] is semi-stable. Introduction Given a smooth projective curve C over the complex numbers, there is an interesting series of related higher-dimensional smooth projective varieties, namely the symmetric products C(n). For every vector bundle E on C of rank r, there is a naturally associated vector bundle E[n] of rank rn on the symmetric product C(n), called tautological or secant bundle. These tautological bundles carry important geometric information. For example, k-very ampleness of line bundles can be expressed in terms of the associated tautological bundles, and these bundles play an important role in the proof of the gonality conjecture of Ein and Lazarsfeld [EL15]. Tautological bundles on symmetric products of curves have been studied since the 1960s [Sch61, Sch64, Mat65], but there are still new results about these bundles discovered nowadays; see, for example, [Wan16, MOP17, BD18]. A natural problem is to decide when a tautological bundle is stable. Here, stability means (n−1) (n) slope stability with respect to the ample class Hn that is represented by C +x ⊂ C for any x ∈ C; see Subsection 1.3 for details.

  • On Positivity and Base Loci of Vector Bundles
    ON POSITIVITY AND BASE LOCI OF VECTOR BUNDLES THOMAS BAUER, SÁNDOR J KOVÁCS, ALEX KÜRONYA, ERNESTO CARLO MISTRETTA, TOMASZ SZEMBERG, STEFANO URBINATI 1. INTRODUCTION The aim of this note is to shed some light on the relationships among some notions of posi- tivity for vector bundles that arose in recent decades. Positivity properties of line bundles have long played a major role in projective geometry; they have once again become a center of attention recently, mainly in relation with advances in birational geometry, especially in the framework of the Minimal Model Program. Positivity of line bundles has often been studied in conjunction with numerical invariants and various kinds of asymptotic base loci (see for example [ELMNP06] and [BDPP13]). At the same time, many positivity notions have been introduced for vector bundles of higher rank, generalizing some of the properties that hold for line bundles. While the situation in rank one is well-understood, at least as far as the interdepencies between the various positivity concepts is concerned, we are quite far from an analogous state of affairs for vector bundles in general. In an attempt to generalize bigness for the higher rank case, some positivity properties have been put forward by Viehweg (in the study of fibrations in curves, [Vie83]), and Miyaoka (in the context of surfaces, [Miy83]), and are known to be different from the generalization given by using the tautological line bundle on the projectivization of the considered vector bundle (cf. [Laz04]). The differences between the various definitions of bigness are already present in the works of Lang concerning the Green-Griffiths conjecture (see [Lan86]).

  • WITT GROUPS of GRASSMANN VARIETIES Contents Introduction 1
    WITT GROUPS OF GRASSMANN VARIETIES PAUL BALMER AND BAPTISTE CALMES` Abstract. We compute the total Witt groups of (split) Grassmann varieties, over any regular base X. The answer is a free module over the total Witt ring of X. We provide an explicit basis for this free module, which is indexed by a special class of Young diagrams, that we call even Young diagrams.

Push-forward, pull-back and connecting homomorphism 19 6. Main result 21 Appendix A. Total Witt group 27 References 27 Introduction At first glance, it might be surprising for the non-specialist that more than thirty years after the definition of the Witt group of a scheme, by Knebusch [13], the Witt group of such a classical variety as a Grassmannian has not been computed yet. This is especially striking since analogous results for ordinary cohomologies, for K-theory and for Chow groups have been settled a long time ago. The goal of this article is to explain how Witt groups differ from these sister theories and to prove the following: Main Theorem (See Thm. 6.1). Let X be a regular noetherian and separated 1 scheme over Z[ 2 ], of finite Krull dimension. Let 0 <d<n be integers and let GrX (d, n) be the Grassmannian of d-dimensional subbundles of the trivial n- n dimensional vector bundle V = OX over X. (More generally, we treat any vector bundle V admitting a complete flag of subbundles.) Then the total Witt group of GrX (d, n) is a free graded module over the total Witt group of X with an explicit basis indexed by so-called “even” Young diagrams.

  • Geometry and Stability of Tautological Bundles on Hilbert Schemes of Points
    GEOMETRY AND STABILITY OF TAUTOLOGICAL BUNDLES ON HILBERT SCHEMES OF POINTS DAVID STAPLETON Introduction The purpose of this paper is to explore the geometry of tautological bundles on Hilbert schemes of smooth surfaces and to establish the slope stability of these bundles. Let S be a smooth complex projective surface, and denote by S[n] the Hilbert scheme parametriz- ing length n subschemes of S. This parameter space carries some natural tautological vector bundles: if L is a line bundle on S then L[n] is the rank n vector bundle whose fiber at the point 0 corresponding to a length n subscheme ξ ⊂ S is the vector space H (S, L⊗Oξ ). These tautological vector bundles have attracted a great deal of interest. Danila [Dan01] and Scala [Sca09] computed [n] their cohomology. Ellingsrud and Strømme [ES93] showed the Chern classes of the bundles OP2 , [n] [n] 2[n] OP2 (1) , and OP2 (2) generate the cohomology of P . Nakajima gave an interpretation of the McKay correspondence by restricting the tautological bundles to the G-Hilbert scheme which is nicely exposited in [Nak99, §4.3]. Recently Okounkov [Oko14] formulated a conjecture about special generating functions associated to the tautological bundles. Given the importance of the tautological bundles it is natural to ask whether they are stable. In [Sch10], [Wan14], and [Wan13] this question has been answered positively for Hilbert schemes of 2 points or 3 points on a K3 or abelian surface with Picard group restrictions. Our first result establishes the stability of these bundles for arbitrary n and any surface.

(C∞) complex line bundles over CP1, up to isomorphism, are classified by the integers.
