A Generalisation of Nagata's Theorem on Ruled Surfaces

  • Published:
Compositio Mathematica

Abstract

We prove a generalisation of a theorem of Nagata on ruled surface to the case of the fiber bundle E/PX, associated to a principal G-bundle E. Using this we prove boundedness for the isomorphism classes of semi-stable G-bundles in all characteristics.
