Abstract

We introduce a notion of Nakano and Demailly positivity for singular Hermitian metrics of holomorphic vector bundles. Our definitions support the usual H\"ormander and Nadel type vanishing theorems with estimates, at least on essentially Stein manifolds. As an application, we establish a sharp Ohsawa-Takegoshi type L2L^2 extension theorem. We use the method of Berndtsson and Lempert to prove the latter theorem, and for this purpose we require a Berndtsson-type positivity theorem for holomorphic vector bundles, which we also prove.

Comments

Proposition 4.11 is wrong; there are counterexamples. As a consequence, Proposition 5.1 is also wrong, and there too one has counterexamples. Thus the definitions of k-positivity put forth in the article do not capture what was intended
