Lange's conjecture
In algebraic geometry, Lange's conjecture is a theorem about stability of vector bundles over curves, introduced by Herbet Lange [de][1] and proved by Montserrat Teixidor i Bigas and Barbara Russo in 1999.
Statement
[edit]Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus greater or equal to 2. For generic vector bundles and on C of ranks and degrees and , respectively, a generic extension
has E stable provided that , where is the slope of the respective bundle. The notion of a generic vector bundle here is a generic point in the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on C, and a generic extension is one that corresponds to a generic point in the vector space .
An original formulation by Lange is that for a pair of integers and such that , there exists a short exact sequence as above with E stable. This formulation is equivalent because the existence of a short exact sequence like that is an open condition on E in the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on C.
