Conceptual understanding of the Néron–Severi group

I'm trying to understand the importance of the Néron–Severi group $\operatorname{NS}(X)$ when $X$ is, say a complex manifold. My background is in the analytic side so I'm much more familiar with line ...

Metric on line bundle defined fiberwise

Let $(X,\mathcal{O}_X)$ be an analytic space, and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$. Intuitively, a metric $||\cdot||$ is a continuous choice of a metric for each fiber of the line bundle, which is a ...

Line bundles with meromorphic transition functions

I have the following situation: let $X$ be a projective complex manifold and let $f \in H^1(X,\mathcal{M}^{\times})$. So $f$ defines something like a line bundle with meromorphic transition functions. ...

Semistable pure dimension one sheaves of rank 1 and degree 0 on a singular curve

We are working on a problem about semistable pure dimension one sheaves of rank $1$ and degree $0$ on a singular curve $C$ (for example, the Kodaira fiber of type $I_2$, i.e. $C=C_1\cup C_2$ where $...

Existence of non-trivial "line-symplectic" manifolds

One way to view a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ is as a real line bundle $\pi_1: M\times \mathbb{R}\to M$ equipped with a flat connection $d: \Omega^{k}(M, M\times\mathbb{R})\to \Omega^{k+1}(M, M\...

Making a vector bundle ample by twisting with ample line bundle

Let $X$ be a projective algebraic variety over some field (I am happy to add some more assumptions if necessary). A vector bundle $E$ is ample if the relative twisting sheaf $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf{P}(E)...

Vector bundle defined by using divisors of very ample line bundle

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve. Suppose that $L_1$ and $L_2$ are line bundles on $X$, and $L_1$ is very ample. $\operatorname{Div}(s)$ denotes a divisor defined by a global section $s\in H^0(X,L)...

Splitting principle in algebraic geometry and ample line bundles

Splitting theorem in algebraic geometry claims that if we have a vector bundle $V$ on $X$ (we consider a smooth projective variety for this question), if we pull-back $V$ to $\mathbb{P}(V)$, we get a ...

Existence of a connection $A$ on a holomorphic line bundle $L$, s.t $F(A)=(\deg L)\omega$

I'm reading this paper and at page 67, he states that for any line bundle $L$ over a Rieman surface there is a connection $A$ whose curvature is $$ F(A)=(\deg L)\omega, $$ where $\omega$ is a positive ...

Indexing the line bundles over a Grassmannian.

As is well known, the line bundles over *CP*$^1$ are indexed by the integers. My question is how are the line bundles over *CP*$^n$, $n > 1$, and *Gr*$(n,k)$ indexed? Moreover, do there exist any ...
