I am trying to understand the tangent bundle to algebraic loop groups, particularly for $G=GL_n$, over arbitrary characteristic. Can anyone point me to existing literature related to this? In particular, I want to figure out if the tangent bundle is ample. Does anyone know of existing ideas in this regard?

    $\begingroup$ For an affine variety, any non-zero vector bundle is ample and $GL_n$ is affine. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Mohan The question is about the tangent bundle of the loop group $LGL_n$ of $GL_n$. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @user1504 I am ignorant and did not even know that the loop group is an algebraic variety (and I do not know what ample means otherwise). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ According to Faltings: ems-ph.org/journals/… the algebraic loop group is an ind-affine group. Like Mohan, I do not know what an ample bundle on such a thing is. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ It is an inductive limit of closed sub-varieties. So ample in this case means that the restriction of the bundle to every stratum is ample. $\endgroup$
