ABSTRACT

We introduce and study the k  -jet ampleness and the k  -jet spannedness for a vector bundle, E , on a projective manifold. We obtain different characterizations of projective space in terms of such positivity properties for E . We compare the 1  -jet ampleness with different notions of very ampleness in the literature.
