Frobenius pull-back of parabolic bundles and dormant opers
Abstract
We study parabolic bundles on an algebraic curve in positive characteristic. Our motivation is to properly formulate Frobenius pull-backs of parabolic bundles in a way that extends various previous facts and arguments for the usual non-parabolic Frobenius pull-backs. After defining that operation, we generalize a classical result by Cartier concerning Frobenius descent, that is, we establish a bijective correspondence (including the version using higher-level $\mathcal{D}$-modules) between parabolic flat bundles with vanishing $p$-curvature on a pointed curve and parabolic bundles on its Frobenius twist. This correspondence gives a description of maximally Frobenius-destabilized parabolic bundles in terms of dormant opers admitting logarithmic poles. As an application of that description together with a previous result in the enumerative geometry of dormant opers, we obtain an explicit formula for computing the number of such parabolic bundles of rank $2$ under certain assumptions.
