Abstract
We have several definitions of the positivity of a vector bundle, differentiate definitions, an algebro-geometric definition, a topological definition etc. In § 1 we review the definitions and the relations between them. For a line bundle all the definitions are equivalent and every one agrees that they are reasonable. For a vector bundle, however, the definitions are not necessarily equivalent. One of the main results of this paper is the equivalence of the definitions over a complete non-singular curve. The proof is given in §2. We proved this over an elliptic curve in Umemura [18]. In this case the proof was based on Atiyah’s classification. To prove the equivalence over a curve of genus ≥ 2, the fundamental lemma is; A stable bundle of positive degree is positive in the sense of Nakano. The tool used to prove this lemma is the theory of stable bundles due to Narasimhan and Seshadri [11] —they establish a correspondence between stable bundles and certain types of irreducible unitary representations of a Fuchsian group.
