Stable bundles on projective curves: their filtrations and their subbundles (Q1127899)

Let \(X\) be a smooth genus \(g\) projective curve. In this paper we study the maximal degree subbundles of the stable vector bundles on \(X\) and the existence of stable vector bundles on \(X\) with suitable filtrations by subbundles. Tools: elementary transformations of vector bundles and pull-backs of bundles from lower genus curves.
