Restriction theorems for homogeneous bundles

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

We prove that for an irreducible representation τ:GL(n)GL(W)\tau:GL(n)\to GL(W), the associated homogeneous Pkn{\bf P}_k^n-vector bundle WτW_{\tau} is strongly semistable when restricted to any smooth quadric or to any smooth cubic in Pkn{\bf P}_k^n, where kk is an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2,3\neq 2,3 respectively. In particular WτW_{\tau} is semistable when restricted to general hypersurfaces of degree 2\geq 2 and is strongly semistable when restricted to the kk-generic hypersurface of degree 2\geq 2.

Comments

Revised version contains a stronger result:strong semistability is proved for restrictions to generic hypersurfaces of arbitrary degree >1, instead of generic hypersurfaces of even degree
