Weak positivity and weak flatness of vector bundles

Abstract

We study Viehweg's weak positivity for vector bundles on quasi-projective schemes over noetherian rings, including mixed characteristic. We prove that weak positivity is preserved under tensor products, symmetric powers, divided powers, and exterior powers. We introduce weakly flat bundles, generalizing numerically flat bundles, and we use them to construct an S-fundamental group scheme for normal varieties admitting a small projective compactification. We compare weak flatness with strong numerical flatness and establish analogues of the Demailly-Peternell-Schneider theorem. For smooth complex varieties admitting a small compactification, we prove that the semisimple objects in the category of weakly flat bundles are precisely the unitary flat bundles. We also show that a vector bundle equipped with an integrable algebraic connection and an invariant filtration with unitary flat quotients is weakly flat. As applications, we characterize quotients of abelian varieties in terms of weak positivity of some standard vector bundles.
