On the Brill-Noether Problem for Vector Bundles
arXiv:alg-geom/9510005
Abstract
On an arbitrary compact Riemann surface, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existence of semistable vector bundles with slope between zero and one and a prescribed number of linearly independent holomorphic sections. Existence is achieved by minimizing the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional.
