Wedderburn components, the index theorem and continuous Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity for semihomogeneous vector bundles

Abstract

Abstract We study the property of continuous Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, for semihomogeneous vector bundles over a given Abelian variety, which was formulated in A. Küronya and Y. Mustopa [Adv. Geom. 20 (2020), no. 3, 401-412]. Our main result gives a novel description thereof. It is expressed in terms of certain normalized polynomial functions that are obtained via the Wedderburn decomposition of the Abelian variety’s endo-morphism algebra. This result builds on earlier work of Mumford and Kempf and applies the form of the Riemann-Roch Theorem that was established in N. Grieve [New York J. Math. 23 (2017), 1087-1110]. In a complementary direction, we explain how these topics pertain to the Index and Generic Vanishing Theory conditions for simple semihomogeneous vector bundles. In doing so, we refine results from M. Gulbrandsen [Matematiche (Catania) 63 (2008), no. 1, 123–137], N. Grieve [Internat. J. Math. 25 (2014), no. 4, 1450036, 31] and D. Mumford [Questions on Algebraic Varieties (C.I.M.E., III Ciclo, Varenna, 1969), Edizioni Cremonese, Rome, 1970, pp. 29-100].
