A converse of Hörmander’s L2-estimate and new positivity notions for vector bundles

Abstract

We study conditions of Hormander’s L2-estimate and the Ohsawa-Takegoshi extension theorem. Introducing a twisted version of the Hormander-type condition, we show a converse of Hormander L2-estimate under some regularity assumptions on an n-dimensional domain. This result is a partial generalization of the 1-dimensional result obtained by Berndtsson (1998). We also de_ne new positivity notions for vector bundles with singular Hermitian metrics by using these conditions. We investigate these positivity notions and compare them with classical positivity notions.
