چکیده

In [9, 10], Hartshorne gives an account of the known vector bundles of "small" rank on P" and also on the punctured spectrum of a regular local ring. Specifically, he remarks on various constructions of rank two vector bundles on P", for n ^ 4, and Horrocks' examples [12] of rank three bundles on P as well. The result of Evans and Griffith [7] on syzygies shows that the existence of rank two indecomposable bundles always gives rise to rank three indecomposable bundles on P", for n ^ 3, in the following manner. Let k be a field and suppose that & corresponds to an indecomposable vector bundle on PjJ of rank two. We may suppose that $ is generated by its global sections since we may otherwise accomplish this after twisting S a suitable number of times. Let E be the module of sections of $. Then according to Evans and Griffith [7] one has that ExtJ^is, R) ± 0, where R = k[X0,1,,..., Xn]. A nontrivial graded extension of the form 0-*R~*F-*E-*0 gives rise to a vector bundle !F (associated to the module F) of rank three (cf. Corollary 3.2 to see that F is necessarily indecomposable). Depending on the behavior of E and ExtJ^jE, R) we also show in Section 3 how to construct vector bundles of rank four which are indecomposable. However, a construction of this sort patently gives rise to proper subbundles. The main point of this note is to demonstrate another way in which vector bundles of rank two can be used as the building blocks for bundles of higher rank. Specifically, in Section 2 we show how to obtain simple vector bundles (no proper subbundle of positive rank) of rank three from indecomposable rank two bundles, and in Section 3 we describe how these simple rank three bundles further yield indecomposable bundles of rank four. Although our results hold for graded modules over polynomial rings, we shall confine our discussion to the punctured spectrum of a regular local ring since our methods are purely those of local algebra.

Construction of Low Rank Vector Bundles on P and P

We describe a technique which permits a uniform construction of a number of low rank bundles, both known and new. In characteristic two, we obtain rank two bundles on P5. In characteristic p, we obtain rank two bundles on P4 and rank three bundles on P5. In arbitrary characteristic, we obtain rank three bundles on P4 and rank two bundles on the quadric S5 in P6.

Simple Vector Bundles on Plane Degenerations of an Elliptic Curve

In 1957 Atiyah classified simple and indecomposable vector bundles on an elliptic curve. In this article we generalize his classification by describing the simple vector bundles on all reduced plane cubic curves. Our main result states that a simple vector bundle on such a curve is completely determined by its rank, multidegree and determinant. Our approach, based on the representation theory o...

The cohomology of line bundles on the three dimensional flag variety

The purpose of this paper is to give a recursive description of the characters of the cohomology of the line bundles on the three dimensional flag variety over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. In fact our recursive procedure also involves certain rank 2 bundles and we determine the characters of the cohomology of these bundles at the same time. The paper may be regarded ...

Processing of Lexical Bundles by Persian Speaking Learners of English

Formulaic sequence (FS) is a general term often used to refer to various types of recurrent clusters. One particular type of FSs common in different registers is lexical bundles (LBs). This study investigated whether LBs are stored and processed as a whole in the mind of language users and whether their functional discourse type has any effect on their processing. To serve these objectives, thr...

By the results of the author and Chiantini in [3], on a general quintic threefold X ⊂ P 4 the minimum integer p for which there exists a positive dimensional family of irreducible rank p vector bundles on X without intermediate cohomology is at least three. In this paper we show that p ≤ 4, by constructing series of positive dimensional families of rank 4 vector bundles on X without intermediat...
