Seshadri constants and Grassmann bundles over curves (Q2027738)

In this very interesting paper, the authors study the Seshadri constants over Grassmann bundles. Let \(X\) be a smooth complex projective curve, and let \(E\) be a vector bundle on \(X\) which is not semistable. For a suitably chosen integer \(r\), let \(\mathrm{Gr}(E)\) be the Grassmann bundle over \(X\) that parametrizes the quotients of the fibers of \(E\) of dimension \(r\). Assuming some numerical conditions on the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of \(E\), we study Seshadri constants of ample line bundles on \(\mathrm{Gr}(E)\). In many cases, the authors give the precise values of the Seshadri constants which is the content of Theorem 3.1 and Theorem 3.3. therein. These results generalize various previously known results for the special case of \(\mathrm{rank}(E) = 2\). At the end of the paper, the authors provide, based on their results, new computations of Seshadri constants in the case when \(\mathrm{rank}(E) = 4\).
