| Abstract: | The classical slope (degree/rank) of a vector bundle or torsion-free sheaf gives a "codimension one" notion of stability that can be used to prove the first case of Kodaira vanishing (Hom(L,O_X) = 0 for an ample line bundle L on a projective variety X). A "codimension two" family of slopes in the derived category of a smooth projective variety X can be used to similarly prove the next case of Kodaira vanishing (Hom(L,O[1]) = 0). I will talk about this, the Reider's theorem analogue when X = S is a surface, and then irresponsibly speculate about what might be going on in general. |
