In [9], Hartshorne extended the concept of ampleness from line bundles to vector bundles. At that time, he conjectured that the appropriate Chern classes of an ample vector bundle were positive, and it was hoped that there would be some criterion for ampleness of vector bundles similar to Nakai’s criterion for line bundles. In the same paper, Hartshorne also introduced the notion of p-ample when the ground field had characteristic p, proved that a p-ample bundle was ample and asked if the converse were true.

Let $X$ be an irreducible complex-analytic variety, ${\mathcal{S}}$ a stratification of $X$ and ${\mathcal{F}}$ a holomorphic vector bundle on the open stratum ${X\unicode[STIX]{x0030A}}$. We give geometric conditions on ${\mathcal{S}}$ and ${\mathcal{F}}$ that produce a natural lift of the Chern class $\operatorname{c}_{k}({\mathcal{F}})\in H^{2k}({X\unicode[STIX]{x0030A}};\mathbb{C})$ to $H^{2k}(X;\mathbb{C})$, which, in the algebraic setting, is of Hodge level ${\geqslant}k$. When applied to the Baily–Borel compactification $X$ of a locally symmetric variety ${X\unicode[STIX]{x0030A}}$ and an automorphic vector bundle ${\mathcal{F}}$ on ${X\unicode[STIX]{x0030A}}$, this refines a theorem of Goresky–Pardon. In passing we define a class of simplicial resolutions of the Baily–Borel compactification that can be used to define its mixed Hodge structure. We use this to show that the stable cohomology of the Satake ($=$ Baily–Borel) compactification of ${\mathcal{A}}_{g}$ contains nontrivial Tate extensions.

Suppose $X$ is a smooth complex algebraic variety. A necessary condition for a complex topological vector bundle on $X$ (viewed as a complex manifold) to be algebraic is that all Chern classes must be algebraic cohomology classes, that is, lie in the image of the cycle class map. We analyze the question of whether algebraicity of Chern classes is sufficient to guarantee algebraizability of complex topological vector bundles. For affine varieties of dimension ${\leqslant}3$, it is known that algebraicity of Chern classes of a vector bundle guarantees algebraizability of the vector bundle. In contrast, we show in dimension ${\geqslant}4$ that algebraicity of Chern classes is insufficient to guarantee algebraizability of vector bundles. To do this, we construct a new obstruction to algebraizability using Steenrod operations on Chow groups. By means of an explicit example, we observe that our obstruction is nontrivial in general.

AbstractWe investigate the pairs (X, ε) consisting of a smooth complex projective variety X of dimension n and an ample vector bundle ε of rank n − 1 on X such that ε has a section whose zero locus is a smooth elliptic curve.

Let X be an algebraic complex projective surface equipped with the euclidean topology and E a rank 2 topological vector bundle on X. It is a classical theorem of Wu ([Wu]) that E is uniquely determined by its topological Chern classes . Viceversa, again a classical theorem of Wu ([Wu]) states that every pair (a, b) ∈ (H (X, Z), Z) arises as topological Chern classes of a rank 2 topological vector bundle. For these results the existence of an algebraic structure on X was not important; for instance it would have been sufficient to have on X a holomorphic structure. In [Sch] it was proved that for algebraic X any such topological vector bundle on X has a holomorphic structure (or, equivalently by GAGA an algebraic structure) if its determinant line bundle has a holomorphic structure. It came as a surprise when Elencwajg and Forster ([EF]) showed that sometimes this was not true if we do not assume that X has an algebraic structure but only a holomorphic one (even for some two dimensional tori (see also [BL], [BF], or [T])).

In the previous paper [1], we showed that the set of simple vector bundles of rank 2 on a rational surface with fixed Chern classes is bounded and we gave a sufficient condition for an H-stable vector bundle of rank 2 on a rational surface to be ample. In this paper, we shall extend the results of [1] to the case of higher rank.

AbstractLet ε be an ample vector bundle of rank r on a projective variety X with only log-terminal singularities. We consider the nefness of adjoint divisors KX +(t−r) det ε when t ≥ dim X and t > r. As an application, we classify pairs (X, ε) with cr-sectional genus zero.

Abstract We extend the concept of the Segre invariant to vector bundles on a surface X. For X = ℙ2 we determine what numbers can appear as the Segre invariant of a rank 2 vector bundle with given Chern classes. The irreducibility of strata with fixed Segre invariant is proved and their dimensions are computed. Finally, we present applications to the Brill–Noether Theory for rank 2 vector bundles on ℙ2.
