Abstract: We propose a method for explicit computation of the Chern character form of a holomorphic Hermitian vector bundle $(E,h)$ over a complex manifold $X$ in a local holomorphic frame. First, we use the descent equations arising in the double complex of $(p,q)$-forms on $X$ and find explicit degree decomposition of the Chern-Simons form $mathrm{cs}_k$ associated to the Chern character form $mathrm{ch}_k$ of $(E,h)$. Second, we introduce the `ascent' equations that start from the $(2k-1,0)$ component of $mathrm{cs}_k$, and use Cholesky decomposition of the Hermitian metric $h$ to represent the Chern-Simons form, modulo $d$-exact forms, as a $partial$-exact form. This yields a formula for the Bott-Chern form $mathrm{bc}_k$ of type $(k-1,k-1)$ such that $$. Explicit computation is presented for the cases $k=2$ and $3$.

Review text

Let \((E,h)\) be a holomorphic vector bundle on a complex manifold \(X\). By means of descent equations in the double complex of \((p,q)\)-forms the author computes the Chern-Simons forms associated to the Chern forms. A linear algebra procedure appearing in the decomposition of positive definite matrices into a product of a lower triangular matrix times its adjoint (known as Cholesky 's algorithm) is used in ascending degree mode for analyzing the construction of the Chern forms from the Chern-Simons data. Explicit computations are carried out for forms of low bi-degree.
