Clifford Indices for Vector Bundles on Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
For smooth projective curves of genus g ≥ 4, the Clifford index is an important invariant which provides a bound for the dimension of the space of sections of a line bundle. This is the first step in distinguishing curves of the same genus. In this paper we generalise this to introduce Clifford indices for semistable vector bundles on curves. We study these invariants, giving some basic properties and carrying out some computations for small ranks and for general and some special curves. For curves whose classical Clifford index is two, we compute all values of our new Clifford indices.

Stable Bundles of Rank 2 with 4 Sections
This paper contains results on stable bundles of rank 2 with space of sections of dimension 4 on a smooth irreducible projective algebraic curve C. There is a known lower bound on the degree for the existence of such bundles; the main result of the paper is a geometric criterion for this bound to be attained. For a general curve C of genus 10, we show that the bound cannot be attained, but that...
متن کاملBundles of Rank 2 with Small Clifford Index on Algebraic Curves
In this paper, we construct stable bundles E of rank 2 on suitably chosen curves of any genus g ≥ 12 with maximal Clifford index such that the Clifford index of E takes the minimum possible value for curves with this property.
متن کاملDifferentiation along Multivector Fields
The Lie derivation of multivector fields along multivector fields has been introduced by Schouten (see cite{Sc, S}), and studdied for example in cite{M} and cite{I}. In the present paper we define the Lie derivation of differential forms along multivector fields, and we extend this concept to covariant derivation on tangent bundles and vector bundles, and find natural relations between them and...
متن کاملLinear Series on Semistable Curves
We study h 0 (X, L) for line bundles L on a semistable curve X of genus g, parametrized by the compactified Picard scheme. The theorem of Riemann is shown to hold. The theorem of Clifford is shown to hold in the following cases: X has two components; X is any semistable curve and d = 0 or d = 2g − 2; X is stable, free from separating nodes, and d ≤ 4. These results are shown to be sharp. Applic...
متن کاملClifford Bundles: a Unifying Framework for Images(videos), Vector Fields and Orthonormal Frame Fields Regularization
The aim of this paper is to present a new framework for regularization by diffusion. The methods we develop in the sequel can be used to smooth nD images, nD videos, vector fields and orthonormal frame fields in any dimension.1 From a mathematical viewpoint, we deal with vector bundles over Riemannian manifolds and socalled generalized Laplacians. Sections are regularized from heat equations as...
