Uniform vector bundles of rank $$(n+1)$$ on $${\mathbb{P}}_ n$$. (English) Zbl 0532.14006
Let E be a rank-r vector bundle over $${\mathbb{P}}^ n={\mathbb{P}}^ n(K)$$, $$ch(K)=0$$. E is said to be uniform if there exists a sequence of integers $$(k;r_ 1,...,r_ k;a_ 1,...,a_ k)$$ such that for every line L of $${\mathbb{P}}^ n$$, $$E| L\cong \oplus^{k}_{i=1}{\mathcal O}_ L(a_ i)$$. For low r there are only a few uniform vector bundles of rank r on $${\mathbb{P}}^ n$$. E. Sato [J. Math. Soc. Japan 28, 123-132 (1976; Zbl 0315.14003)] and G. Elencwajg, A. Hirschowitz and M. Schneider [cf. Vector bundles and differential equations, Proc., Nice 1979, Prog. Math. 7, 37-63 (1980; Zbl 0456.32009)] proved that for $$r\leq n$$ every uniform bundle is a direct sum of line bundles, $$\Omega_{{\mathbb{P}}^ n}(a)$$, $$T{\mathbb{P}}^ n(b)$$. Here I prove that this holds for $$r=n+1$$. For many n (e.g. if $$n+1$$ is prime) this result was previously proved by Ph. Ellia in Mem. Soc. Math. Fr., Nouv. Sér. 7 (1982; Zbl 0505.14015. I use Ellia’s tricks and methods: the Harder- Narasimhan filtration used by Elencwajg-Hirschowitz-Schneider.
