HOLOMORPHIC LINE BUNDLES WITH PARTIALLY VANISHING COHOMOLOGY Jean-Pierre Demailly, Thomas Peternell, Michael Schneider 0. Introduction and notation One of the most fundamental facts of algebraic geometry is the possibility of characterizing ampleness of line bundles by numerical criteria (Nakai-Moishezon, Kleiman-Seshadri, . . .), or by cohomology vanishing theorems. Over the complex numbers, ampleness is moreover equivalent to the existence of a metric of positive curvature (Kodaira). The case of line bundles with curvature of mixed signature is also of a considerable importance. Andreotti and Grauert [AG62] have proved the following result: Given X a compact complex manifold and L a holomorphic line bundle over X carrying a hermitian metric h whose curvature form ?h(L) is a (1, 1)-form with at least n ? q positive eigenvalues at every point, then for every coherent sheaf F over X the cohomology groups Hj(X,F ? O(mL)) vanish for j > q and m ≥ m0(F). The purpose of this paper is to investigate line bundles satisfying partial positivity properties in a systematic way. For this we introduce the following Definition. — Let L be a holomorphic line bundle over a projective manifoldX . We let ?+(L) be the smallest integer q with the following property: there exists an ample divisor A on X and a constant C > 0 such that Hj(X,mL? pA) = 0 for all integers j > q and m, p ≥ 0, m ≥ C
