Definition for the Chern–Weil formula?
I'm reading Yang–Mills connections and Einstein–Hermitian metrics by Itoh and Nakajima. On definition 1.8 they define a notion for an Einstein–Hermitian connection $A$ by $$K_A = \lambda(E)\mathrm{id}...

Calculation about Chern character in a special setting
I'm confused with working out the Chern character in the following special setting.
Let $E$ be a spinor bundle
$$S=P_{Spin(2n)}(S^{2n})\times_\rho \mathbb{C}^{2n}$$
over sphere $S^{2n}$, where $\rho$ ...

Relation between Bott-Chern forms and Second fundamental form
Given a short exact sequence of holomorphic Hermitian vector bundles
$$0\rightarrow F\rightarrow E\rightarrow G\rightarrow 0,$$
the second fundamental form measures the obstruction of $E\simeq F\oplus ...

Exponential of mixed-type End-valued differential form
Let $E\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ be a complex vector bundle and let $a_{(0,0)},a_{(1,0)},a_{(0,1)},a_{(1,1)}$ be differential forms
such that $a_{(i,j)}\in\Omega^{i,j}(\mathbb{P}^1,End(E))$. I would ...

Extending the definition of positivity from line bundles to vector bundles
A line bundle over a complex manifold is called positive is if its Chern class is the fundamental form of a Kaehler manifold. For vector bundles of higher rank, the Chern class is no longer in general ...

Intuition behind the Kodaira Vanishing Theorem?
As the question suggests, what is the intuition behind the Kodaira Vanishing Theorem? The Kodaira Vanishing Theorem says that the cohomology groups $H^q(M, L \otimes K_M)$ vanish for $q \ge 1$ when $L$...
