Hermitian metric on line bundle jet bundle

Surfaces of general type (14J29) Global differential geometry of Hermitian and Kählerian manifolds (53C55) Jets in global analysis (58A20)

Abstract: Following a suggestion made by J.-P. Demailly, for each

k g e 1

, we endow, by an induction process, the

k

-th (anti)tautological line bundle

m a t h c a l O_{X_{k}} (1)

of an arbitrary complex directed manifold

(X, V)

with a natural smooth hermitian metric. Then, we compute recursively the Chern curvature form for this metric, and we show that it depends (asymptotically -- in a sense to be specified later) only on the curvature of

V

and on the structure of the fibration

X_{k} o X

. When

X

is a surface and

V = T_{X}

, we give explicit formulae to write down the above curvature as a product of matrices. As an application, we obtain a new proof of the existence of global invariant jet differentials vanishing on an ample divisor, for

X

a minimal surface of general type whose Chern classes satisfy certain inequalities, without using a strong vanishing theorem of Bogomolov.

Review text

By an induction process, for each \(k\geq 1\), the \(k\)-th (anti)tautological line bundle \(\mathcal{O}_{X_{k}}(1)\) of an arbitrary complex directed manifold \((X,V)\) is endowed with a natural smooth Hermitian metric. The Chern curvature form for this metric is computed recursively, and the author shows that it depends asymptotically only on the curvature of \(V\) and on the structure of the fibration \(X_{k}\to X\). When \(X\) is a surface and \(V=T_{X}\), there are given explicit formulae to write down the above curvature, as a product of matrices. As an application, the author gives a new proof of the existence of global invariant jet differentials vanishing on an ample divisor, for a minimal surface \(X\) of general type whose Chern classes satisfy certain inequalities, without using a strong vanishing theorem of \textit{F.~A.~Bogomolov} [Sov. Math., Dokl. 18(1977), 1294--1297 (1978); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 236, 1041--1044 (1977; Zbl 0415.14013)].
