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.

Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus greater or equal to 2.

For generic vector bundles

on C of ranks and degrees

r

, respectively, a generic extension has E stable provided that

μ (

) < μ (

μ (

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

Ext

{\displaystyle \operatorname {Ext} ^{1}}

An original formulation by Lange is that for a pair of integers

, 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.
