Stable Vector Bundles Over Projective Varieties
If X is a smooth projective variety of dimension n and H is a hyperplane section, then a vector bundle (or torsionfree sheaf) W is called stable if
for all proper non-zero subbundles (or subsheaves) V of W, where denotes the Euler characteristic of an algebraic vector bundle and the vector bundle means the n-th twist of V by H. W is called semistable if the above holds with < replaced by ≤.
There are also other variants in the literature: cf. this thesis p.29.

Famous quotes containing the words stable, bundles and/or varieties:
“If, then, this civilization is to be saved, if it is not to be submerged by centuries of barbarism, but to secure the treasures of its inheritance on new and more stable foundations, there is indeed need for those now living fully to realize how far the decay has already progressed.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“He bundles every forkful in its place,
And tags and numbers it for future reference,
So he can find and easily dislodge it
In the unloading. Silas does that well.
He takes it out in bunches like birds’ nests.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 12:4-6.
