We may consider zn as a holomorphic section of the line bundle Q in (4.35), and<br />
the curvature matrix for this line bundle is the (1, 1) form<br />
(4.36) q -0c] log iiz.ii<br />
Setting z, zn we obtain a unitary frame {el, ", e,; z.} for F. The<br />
Chern form c(O) may be computed using this frame, as well as the previous<br />
one {Z0, ", Z,}. The curvature matrix of F in the first frame will be denoted<br />
by<br />
To compute it we use the second fundamental form of T(M) in F--the point is<br />
that we know the curvature matrix of T(M) and qY of Q, and want to determine<br />
from these and the second fundamental form the curvature matrix of F.<br />
Summing repeated indices the second fundamental form of T(M) C F is given<br />
by the vector of (1, 0) forms<br />
