in my trumpet Arban, it's a kind of staccato accent. In the words of the introduction, "When a wedge (v) is placed over a note it indicates that the sound ought to be very short; the syllable (tu) ought to be uttered very briefly and hard.
Dunno what the trombone Arban has, but that's what the "real" Arbans has.
