Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\ge 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p\>0$. Given a semistable vector bundle $E$ over $X$, we show that its direct image $F_{*}E$ under the Frobenius map $F$ of $X$ is again semistable. We deduce a numerical characterization of the stable rank-$p$ vector bundles $F_{*}L$, where $L$ is a line bundle over $X$.

Let $𝒜={\left\{A_t\right\}}_{t\in G}$ and $ℬ={\left\{B_t\right\}}_{t\in G}$ be $C^{*}$-algebraic bundles over a finite group $G$. Let $C={⨁}_{t\in G}{A}_t$ and $D={⨁}_{t\in G}{B}_t$. Also, let $A=A_e$ and $B=B_e$, where $e$ is the unit element in $G$. We suppose that $C$ and $D$ are unital and $A$ and $B$ have the unit elements in $C$ and $D$, respectively. In this paper, we show that if there is an equivalence $𝒜-ℬ$-bundle over $G$ with some properties, then the unital inclusions of unital $C^{*}$-algebras $A\subset C$ and $B\subset D$ induced by $𝒜$ and $ℬ$ are strongly Morita equivalent. Also, we suppose that $𝒜$ and $ℬ$ are saturated and that $A^{\text{'}}\cap C=𝐂1$. We show that...

If $(M,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold, we have the well-known base preserving   vector bundle isomorphism $TM\widetilde{=}{T}^{*}M$ given by $v\to g(v,-)$ between the tangent $TM$ and the cotangent $T^{*}M$ bundles of $M$. In the present note, we generalize this isomorphism to the one $T^{\left(r\right)}M\widetilde{=}{T}^{r*}M$ between the $r$-th order vector tangent $T^{\left(r\right)}M={\left(J^r{(M,R)}_0\right)}^{*}$ and the $r$-th order cotangent $T^{r*}M=J^r{(M,R)}_0$ bundles of $M$. Next, we describe all base preserving  vector bundle maps $C_M\left(g\right):T^{\left(r\right)}M\to T^{r*}M$ depending on a Riemannian metric $g$ in terms of natural (in $g$) tensor fields on $M$.

Let $E$ denote a holomorphic bundle with fiber $D$ and with basis $B$. Both $D$ and $B$ are assumed to be Stein. For $D$ a Reinhardt bounded domain of dimension $d=2$ or $3$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on $D$ for the existence of a non-Stein such $E$ (Theorem $1$); for $d=2$, we give necessary and sufficient criteria for $E$ to be Stein (Theorem $2$). For $D$ a Reinhardt bounded domain of any dimension not intersecting any coordinate hyperplane, we give a sufficient criterion for $E$ to be Stein (Theorem...

Let m and r be natural numbers and let $P^r:ℳf_m\to ℱℳ$ be the rth order frame bundle functor. Let $F:ℳf_m\to ℱℳ$ and $G:ℳf_k\to ℱℳ$ be natural bundles, where $k=dim\left(P^r{ℝ}^m\right)$. We describe all $ℳf_m$-natural operators A transforming sections σ of $FM\to M$ and classical linear connections ∇ on M into sections A(σ,∇) of $G\left(P^{r}M\right)\to P^{r}M$. We apply this general classification result to many important natural bundles F and G and obtain many particular classifications.

To any finite covering $f:Y\to X$ of degree $d$ between smooth complex projective manifolds, one associates a vector bundle $E_f$ of rank $d-1$ on $X$ whose total space contains $Y$. It is known that $E_f$ is ample when $X$ is a projective space ([Lazarsfeld 1980]), a Grassmannian ([Manivel 1997]), or a Lagrangian Grassmannian ([Kim Maniel 1999]). We show an analogous result when $X$ is a simple abelian variety and $f$ does not factor through any nontrivial isogeny $X^{\text{'}}\to X$. This result is obtained by showing that $E_f$ is $M$-regular...

Let $M$ be an $m$-dimensional manifold and $A={𝔻}_k^r/I=ℝ\oplus N_A$ a Weil algebra of height $r$. We prove that any $A$-covelocity $T_x^{A}f\in T_x^{A*}M$, $x\in M$ is determined by its values over arbitrary $max\{\mathrm{width}A,m\}$ regular and under the first jet projection linearly independent elements of $T_x^{A}M$. Further, we prove the rigidity of the so-called universally reparametrizable Weil algebras. Applying essentially those partial results we give the proof of the general rigidity result $T^{A*}M\simeq T^{r*}M$ without coordinate computations, which improves and generalizes the partial...

We describe all ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $D:Q_{proj-proj}^{\tau }⇝Q{T}^{*}$ transforming projectable-projectable classical torsion-free linear connections $\nabla$ on fibred-fibred manifolds $Y$ into classical linear connections $D\left(\nabla \right)$ on cotangent bundles $T^{*}Y$ of $Y$. We show that this problem can be reduced to finding ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $D:Q_{proj-proj}^{\tau }⇝(T^{*},{\otimes }^p{T}^{*}\otimes {\otimes }^{q}T)$ for $p=2$, $q=1$ and $p=3$, $q=0$.

Let $𝔐$ and $\Re$ be algebras of subsets of a set $\Omega$ with $𝔐\subset \Re$, and denote by $E\left(\mu \right)$ the set of all quasi-measure extensions of a given quasi-measure $\mu$ on $𝔐$ to $\Re$. We give some criteria for order boundedness of $E\left(\mu \right)$ in $ba\left(\Re \right)$, in the general case as well as for atomic $\mu$. Order boundedness implies weak compactness of $E\left(\mu \right)$. We show that the converse implication holds under some assumptions on $𝔐$, $\Re$ and $\mu$ or $\mu$ alone, but not in general.

A famous theorem of Carleson says that, given any function $f\in L^p\left(𝕋\right)$, $p\in (1,+\infty )$, its Fourier series $\left(S_{n}f\left(x\right)\right)$ converges for almost every $x\in 𝕋$. Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point, without exceeding $O\left(n^{1/p}\right)$. We define the divergence index at $x$ as the infimum of the positive real numbers $\beta$ such that $S_{n}f\left(x\right)=O\left(n^{\beta }\right)$ and we are interested in the size of the exceptional sets $E_{\beta }$, namely the sets of $x\in 𝕋$ with divergence index equal to $\beta$. We show that quasi-all functions in $L^p\left(𝕋\right)$ have a multifractal behavior with respect to...

Let $D$ be an open set of a Stein manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ such that $H^k(D,𝒪)=0$ for $2\le k\le n-1$. We prove that $D$ is Stein if and only if every topologically trivial holomorphic line bundle $L$ on $D$ is associated to some Cartier divisor $𝔡$ on $D$.

In this paper we introduce the concept of $\tau$-extending modules by $\tau$-rational submodules and study some properties of such modules. It is shown that the set of all $\tau$-rational left ideals of ${}_{R}R$ is a Gabriel filter. An $R$-module $M$ is called $\tau$-extending if every submodule of $M$ is $\tau$-rational in a direct summand of $M$. It is proved that $M$ is $\tau$-extending if and only if $M=Re{j}_{M}E(R/\tau \left(R\right))\oplus N$, such that $N$ is a $\tau$-extending submodule of $M$. An example is given to show that the direct sum of $\tau$-extending modules need not...

Let m,n be positive integers such that m < n and let G(n,m) be the Grassmann manifold of all m-dimensional subspaces of ℝⁿ. For V ∈ G(n,m) let ${\pi }_V$ denote the orthogonal projection from ℝⁿ onto V. The following characterization of purely unrectifiable sets holds. Let A be an ${}^m$-measurable subset of ℝⁿ with ${}^m\left(A\right)<\infty$. Then A is purely m-unrectifiable if and only if there exists a null subset Z of the universal bundle $(V,v)\left|V\in G\right(n,m),v\in V$ such that, for all P ∈ A, one has ${}^{m(n-m)}\left(V\in G(n,m)\left|\right(V,{\pi }_V\left(P\right))\in Z\right)>0$. One can replace “for all P ∈ A” by “for...

Let $𝒳$ be a semibrick in an extriangulated category. If $𝒳$ is a $\tau$-semibrick, then the Auslander-Reiten quiver $\Gamma \left(ℱ\right(𝒳\left)\right)$ of the filtration subcategory $ℱ\left(𝒳\right)$ generated by $𝒳$ is $\mathbb{Z}{𝔸}_{\infty }$. If $𝒳={\left\{X_i\right\}}_{i=1}^t$ is a $\tau$-cycle semibrick, then $\Gamma \left(ℱ\right(𝒳\left)\right)$ is $\mathbb{Z}{𝔸}_{\infty }/{\tau }_{𝔸}^t$.

Let X be a nice variety over a number field k. We characterise in pure “descent-type” terms some inequivalent obstruction sets refining the inclusion $X{{(}_k)}^{ét,Br}\subset X{{(}_k)}^{Br₁}$. In the first part, we apply ideas from the proof of $X{{(}_k)}^{ét,Br}=X{{(}_k)}^{{}_k}$ by Skorobogatov and Demarche to new cases, by proving a comparison theorem for obstruction sets. In the second part, we show that if $\subset {\subset }_k$ are such that $\subset Ext\left({,}_k\right)$, then $X{{(}_k)}^{}=X{{(}_k)}^{}$. This allows us to conclude, among other things, that $X{{(}_k)}^{ét,Br}=X{{(}_k)}^{{}_k}$ and $X{{(}_k)}^{Sol,Br₁}=X{{(}_k)}^{So{l}_k}$.

Let ${\overline{L}}_i\to X_i$ be a holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold for $i=1,2$. Let $S_i$ denote the associated principal circle-bundle with respect to some hermitian inner product on ${\overline{L}}_i$. We construct complex structures on $S=S_1\times S_2$ which we refer to as scalar, diagonal, and linear types. While scalar type structures always exist, the more general diagonal but non-scalar type structures are constructed assuming that ${\overline{L}}_i$ are equivariant ${\left({ℂ}^{*}\right)}^{n_i}$-bundles satisfying some additional conditions....
