On a question of Mehta and Pauly
Abstract
In this short note we provide explicit examples in characteristic p on certain smooth projective curves where for a given semistable vector bundle E the length of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of F E is longer than p. This answers a question of Mehta and Pauly raised in arXiv:math/0607565.
