Abstract

Let i: YX be an inclusion map of non-singular irreducible algebraic quasi-projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field. Let E be an algebraic vector bundle over X and H be a sub-bundle of the induced bundle, i*E. If j:F(H) ↪ F(E) is the corresponding inclusion map of (incomplete) flag bundles, then we derive the normal bundle N(F(H), F(E)) in terms of the bundles H and E, the tangent bundles of Y and X as well as the tautological bundles over F(H).
