Abstract

Here we study (in a more general setting) the following problem. Let C be a smooth projective curve, E and F vector bundles on C and VH0 (C, E) (resp. WH0 (C, F)) vector spaces generically spanning E (resp. F); find lower bounds for the dimension of the image of the multiplication map VWH0 (C, EF) generalizing the case rank(E) = rank(F) = 1.
