Abstract

Let $C$ be a curve of genus $g$ and $E$ a generic (semistable) vector bundle of rank $r$ and degree $d$. Fix a rank $r'\,{<}\,r$ and a degree $d'$ for subsheaves $E'$ of $E$. If $r'd-rd'=r'(r-r')(g-1)$, the number of such subbundles is finite. We shall denote this number by $m(r,d,r',g)$.
