Multiplier Submodule Sheaves and a problem of Lempert

In this article, we establish an $L^2$ extension theorem for Nakano semi-positive singular Hermitian metrics on holomorphic vector bundles, and the strong openness and stability properties of the multiplier submodule sheaves associated to Nakano semi-positive singular Hermitian metrics on holomorphic vector bundles. We solve affirmatively a question of Lempert on the preservation of Nakano semi-positivity under limit of an increasing metrics based on Deng-Ning-Wang-Zhou's characterization of Nakano positivity.
