For this we decompose<br />

and normal part<br />

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 />

quotient bundles). There are similar formulas for 1],. and 12.,. From (4.37) we<br />

infer that<br />
