Hi,

let $E$ be a vector bundle over a smooth projective variety $X$ and $\pi:\mathbb{P}(E)\rightarrow X$ its projectivization, $T_{\pi}:=ker(\pi_{ * })$ where $\pi_{*}:T_{\mathbb{P}(E)}\rightarrow \pi^{*}T_X$, let $\mathcal{O}_E(-1)\hookrightarrow\pi^{*}E$ be the "tautological" bundle over $\mathbb{P}(E)$. The following it is not a proof but a first reasoning to understand things, if i restrict to a point $x\in X$ i have the usual Euler sequence

$0 \rightarrow \mathcal{O}_{E_x}(-1)\rightarrow ({\pi^{*}}E)_x \rightarrow (T_{\pi})_{x}\otimes \mathcal{O}_{E_x}(-1)\rightarrow 0 $

so my thought is that the generalized euler sequence becomes

$0 \rightarrow \mathcal{O}_{E}(-1)\rightarrow \pi^{*}E\rightarrow T_{\pi}\otimes \mathcal{O}_{E}(-1)\rightarrow 0 $

is this the right path or i'm wrong?

thank you in advance.

This sequence is indeed exact. Once you check that the maps are globally defined, exactness can be checked fiberwise (remember that we are dealing with a sequence of vector bundles, not an arbitrary sequence of sheaves), and in this case it follows by the usual Euler sequence for the projective space.
