Frobenius-projective structures on curves in positive characteristic (Q2179609)

Summary: In the present paper we study \textit{Frobenius-projective} structures on projective smooth curves in positive characteristic. The notion of Frobenius-projective structures may be regarded as an analogue, in positive characteristic, of the notion of \textit{complex projective structures} in the classical theory of Riemann surfaces. By means of the notion of Frobenius-projective structures we obtain a relationship between a certain rational function, i.e., a \textit{pseudo-coordinate}, and a certain collection of data which may be regarded as an analogue, in positive characteristic, of the notion of indigenous bundles in the classical theory of Riemann surfaces, i.e., a \textit{Frobenius-indigenous structure}. As an application of this relationship, we also prove the existence of certain \textit{Frobenius-destabilized} locally free coherent sheaves of rank two.
