Abstract: A conjecture of Hirschowitz's predicts that a globally generated vector bundle W on a compact complex manifold A satisfies the formal principle, i.e., the formal neighborhood of its zero section determines the germ of neighborhoods in the underlying complex manifold of the vector bundle W. By applying Cartan's equivalence method to a suitable differential system on the universal family of the Douady space of the complex manifold, we prove that this conjecture is true if A is a Fano manifold, or if the global sections of W separate points of A. Our method shows more generally that for any unobstructed compact submanifold A in a complex manifold, if the normal bundle is globally generated and its sections separate points of A, then a sufficiently general deformation of A satisfies the formal principle. In particular, a sufficiently general smooth free rational curve on a complex manifold satisfies the formal principle.
