Balance point and stability of vector bundles over a projective manifold (Q699296)

Here, answering a question of Donaldson, the author gives a differential-geometric interpretation (and also a symplectic quotient one) of the Gieseker stability of a holomorphic rank \(r\) vector bundle \(E\) on a polarized projective manifold \((X,{\mathbf O}_X(1))\). He shows that \(E\) is Gieseker stable if and only if for all integers \(k\gg 0\) the global sections of \(E(k)\) map \(X\) to a point of the Grassmannian \(\text{Grass} (r,N)\), \(N=h^0 (X,E(k))\), which may be moved to a balanced point.
