Definition

A rational number associated with a coherent sheaf EE over a curve: the degree divided by the rank:

μ(E)deg(E)rank(E). \mu(E) \;\coloneqq\; \frac{deg(E)}{rank(E)} \,.

For vector bundles: “normalized Chern character” (Shatz 77)

e.g. (Huybrechts-Lehn 96, def. 1.2.11)

This is what enters the condition on stable coherent sheaves.
