On the principal bundles over a flag manifold

Hassan Azad and Indranil Biswas

Abstract: Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup of a semisimple simply connected linear algebraic group $G$ over $\mathbb C$ and $\rho$ an irreducible homomorphism from $P$ to a complex reductive group $H$. We show that the associated principal $H$--bundle over $G/P$, associated for $\rho$ to the principal $P$--bundle defined by the quotient map $G\, \longrightarrow\, G/P$, is stable. We describe the Harder--Narasimhan reduction of the $G$--bundle over $G/P$ obtained using the composition $P\, \longrightarrow\, L(P)\, \longrightarrow\, G$, where $L(P)$ is the Levi factor of $P$.
