Stable vector bundles as generators of the Chow ring (Q2494097)

Let \(X\) be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field \(k\) with a fixed polarization \(H\). The main result of this paper shows that the rational Chow ring \(\text{CH}_{\mathbb Q^*}(X)\), the \(K\)-theory \(K(X)\), and the derived category \({\mathcal D}(X)\) are generated by stable vector bundles. The proof begins with the two-dimensional case. Let \(Z\) be a zero-dimensional subscheme of a smooth projective surface \(X\), and \(C\in|H|\) a fixed smooth curve such that \(C\cap Z=\varphi\). A crucial ingredient for the proof is given by the following. Proposition 2.1. If \(m \gg 0\) and if \(V\subset H^0(X,{\mathcal I}_Z(mH))\) is a generic subspace of dimension \(h^0(C,{\mathcal O}(mH))\), then the sequence \(0\to\ker(\text{ev})\to V \otimes{\mathcal O}_X@>\text{ev}>>{\mathcal I}_Z(mH)\to 0\) is exact and the kernel \(\ker(\text{ev})\) is a stable vector bundle. The main theorem is proved through a computation of Chern classes appearing in the exact sequence. The general case is treated by constructing a suitable resolution of the ideal sheaf \({\mathcal I}_Z\) of a subscheme \(Z\) of \(X\).
