Frobenius pull backs of vector bundles in higher dimensions

Abstract: Here we prove that for a smooth projective variety

X

of arbitrary dimension and for a vector bundle

E

over

X

, the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of a Frobenius pull back of

E

is a refinement of the Frobenius pull-back of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of

E

, provided there is a lower bound on the characteristic

p

(in terms of rank of

E

and the slope of the destabilising sheaf of the cotangent bundle of

X

). We also recall some examples, due to Raynaud and Monsky,to show that some lower bound on

p

is necessary. We further prove an analogue of this result for principal

G

-bundles over

X

. We also give a bound on the instability degree of the Frobenius pull back of

E

in terms of the instability degree of

E

and well defined invariants ot

X

and

E

.
