A local ampleness criterion of torsion free sheaves (Q385943)

For locally free sheaves (or equivalently, vector bundles) defined on varieties, we can consider such algebraic positivity concepts as ampleness, positivity, nefness, pseudo-effectivity, and so on. \textit{E. Viehweg} [Quasi-projective moduli for polarized manifolds. Berlin: Springer (1995; Zbl 0844.14004)] and \textit{N. Nakayama} [Zariski-decomposition and abundance. Tokyo: Mathematical Society of Japan (2004; Zbl 1061.14018)] posed these concepts for (torsion free) coherent sheaves. According to the author, Nakayama's notion is a refined version of Viehweg's in a sense that one can talk about the ampleness of a sheaf at a given point. In this paper, the author formulates a positivity condition of torsion free sheaves in terms of a curvature positivity of singular Hermitian metric in the spirit of Nakayama, and gives an ampleness criterion of torsion free coherent sheaves at a given point. More precisely, the author deduces some local positivity properties of a torsion free coherent sheaf \(F\) defined on a smooth projective variety from the assumption on the existence of singular Hermitian metrics of the tautological line bundle \(\mathcal{O}_F(1)\) on \(\mathbb{P}(F):={\text{Proj}}\,(\bigoplus_{m\geq 0}S^m(F))\) with appropriately positive curvature currents (Theorem 1.1). Applying Theorem 1.1 to a geometric situation, the author generalizes a well-known positivity result of direct image sheaves and gives pointwise ampleness criterion in this situation (Corollary 1.2).
