Stability of bundles with a given filtration on a smooth curve (Q4244013)

The paper is concerned with the construction of stable vector bundles with filtrations of subbundles of given type. Let \(X\) be a smooth projective curve of genus \(\geq 2\) on an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(0\). A vector bundle \(E\) on \(X\) is said to be obtained from a vector bundle \(F\) by a positive elementary transformation if one has an exact sequence \(0 \rightarrow F \rightarrow E \rightarrow k(P) \rightarrow 0\) where \(k(P)\) is the skyscraper sheaf of length \(1\) supported at a closed point \(P\) of \(X\). Let \(M(r,d)\) denote the moduli variety of stable vector bundles of rank \(r\) and degree \(d\) on \(X\). Theorem. Fix integers \(e>0\), \(r_j\), \(d_j\), \(1\leq j\leq e\), \(s\) and \(b\) with \(s>0\), \(-r_j < d_j < r_j\) and \(b > s+ {\sum}_{1\leq j\leq e} (r_j - d_j)\). Fix a general \[ (M_1,\cdots , M_e, Q) \in (\bigtimes_j M(r_j, d_j)) \times M(s,b). \] Let \(U\) be a bundle with an increasing filtration \(0 = U_0 \subset U_1 \subset \cdots \subset U_e = U\), \(U_j/U_{j-1} \approx M_j\), \(1\leq j \leq e\). Then there is a stable bundle \(E\) given by an exact sequence \(0 \rightarrow U \rightarrow E \rightarrow Q \rightarrow 0\) with the property that a general bundle obtained from \(E\) by any (finite) number of positive elementary transformations is stable. In particular, \(E\) has an increasing filtration \(\{E_i\}_{0\leq i\leq e+1}\) with \( E_i/E_{i-1} \approx M_i\), \(1\leq i\leq e\), \(E/E_e \approx Q\).
