We construct stable vector bundles on the space of symmetric forms of degree d in n+1 variables which are equivariant for the action of SL_{n+1}(C), and admit an equivariant free resolution of length 2. For n=1, we obtain new examples of stable vector bundles of rank d-1 on P^d, which are moreover equivariant for SL_2(C). The presentation matrix of these bundles attains Westwicks upper bound for the dimension of vector spaces of matrices of constant rank and fixed size.
Given a rational homogeneous variety G/P where G is complex simple and of type ADE, we prove that all tangent bundles T_{G/P} are simple, meaning that their only endomorphisms are scalar multiples of the identity. This result combined with Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence implies stability of these tangent bundles 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.
We consider a uniform $r$-bundle $E$ on a complex rational homogeneous space $X$ %over complex number field $mathbb{C}$ and show that if $E$ is poly-uniform with respect to all the special families of lines and the rank $r$ is less than or equal to some number that depends only on $X$, then $E$ is either a direct sum of line bundles or $delta_i$-unstable for some $delta_i$. So we partially answer a problem posted by Mu~{n}oz-Occhetta-Sol{a} Conde. In particular, if $X$ is a generalized Grassmannian $mathcal{G}$ and the rank $r$ is less than or equal to some number that depends only on $X$, then $E$ splits as a direct sum of line bundles. We improve the main theorem of Mu~{n}oz-Occhetta-Sol{a} Conde when $X$ is a generalized Grassmannian by considering the Chow rings. Moreover, by calculating the relative tangent bundles between two rational homogeneous spaces, we give explicit bounds for the generalized Grauert-M{u}lich-Barth theorem on rational homogeneous spaces.
In char $k = p >0$, A. Langer proved a strong restriction theorem (in the style of H. Flenner) for semistable sheaves to a very general hypersurface of degree $d$, on certain varieties, with the condition that `char $k > d$. He remarked that to remove this condition, it is enough to answer either of the following questions affirmatively: {it For the syzygy bundle $sV_d$ of ${mathcal O}(d)$, is $sV_d$ semistable for arbitrary $n, d$ and $p = {char} k$?, or is there a good estimate on $mu_{max}(sV_d^*)$?} Here we prove that (1) the bundle $sV_d$ is semistable, for a certain infinite set of integers $dgeq 0$, and (2) for arbitrary $d$, there is a good enough estimate on $mu_{max}(sV_d^*)$ in terms of $d$ and $n$. In particular one obtains Langers theorem, in arbitrary characeristic.
The moduli space of Higgs bundles has two stratifications. The Bialynicki-Birula stratification comes from the action of the non-zero complex numbers by multiplication on the Higgs field, and the Shatz stratification arises from the Harder-Narasimhan type of the vector bundle underlying a Higgs bundle. While these two stratification coincide in the case of rank two Higgs bundles, this is not the case in higher rank. In this paper we analyze the relation between the two stratifications for the moduli space of rank three Higgs bundles.
In this paper we count the number of isomorphism classes of geometrically indecomposable quasi-parabolic structures of a given type on a given vector bundle on the projective line over a finite field. We give a conjectural cohomological interpretation for this counting using the moduli space of Higgs fields on the given vector bundle over the complex projective line with prescribed residues. We prove a certain number of results which bring evidences to the main conjecture. We detail the case of rank 2 vector bundles.
