Finite field/Smooth projective curve/Vector bundle/Finite annihilation/Harder-Narasimhan-criterion/Fact
Let denote a finite field (or the algebraic closure of a finite field) and let be a smooth projective curve over . Let be a locally free sheaf over and let denote a cohomology class. Let be a strong Harder-Narasimhan filtration of . We choose such that has degree and that has degree . We set . Then the following are equivalent.
- The class can be annihilated by a finite morphism.
- Some Frobenius power of the image of inside is .
