May 15, 2020 at 4:40 comment added Joshua Mundinger @R.vanDobbendeBruyn Yes, you're right; representations of $\pi_1$ are local systems, not vector bundles.
May 15, 2020 at 4:30 comment added abx Focus, did you see that the comment by @skd completely answers your question? Why did you edit it?

May 14, 2020 at 17:00 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn @JoshuaMundinger: "A vector bundle of rank 2 is equivalent to a representation" ― this doesn't seem quite right. On $\mathbf P^1$ there are interesting vector bundles such as $\mathcal O \oplus \mathcal O(1)$, but $\pi_1(\mathbf P^1)$ is trivial...
May 14, 2020 at 16:43 comment added Joshua Mundinger Here's a concrete example: let $E/\mathbb C$ be an elliptic curve. A vector bundle of rank $2$ is equivalent to a representation $\pi_1(E) \to GL_2(\mathbb C)$ up to conjugacy, that is, two commuting matrices up to conjugacy. These have a common eigenvector, but the vector bundle does not split unless the commuting matrices are simultaneously diagonalizable.
May 14, 2020 at 16:36 comment added Mohan Serre proved his result for arbitrary varieties over an infinite filed. If $E$ is a globally generated vector bundle of rank greater than the dimension, a general section is nowhere vanishing. Of course, this does not give a splitting in general, except for affine varieties.
May 14, 2020 at 16:29 comment added Focus @skd are there some global results on schemes?

May 14, 2020 at 16:24 comment added Focus @abx,sure you are right.I‘ve edited, thanks.
May 14, 2020 at 16:24 comment added skd Serre proved that any vector bundle on an affine scheme X of rank larger than the dimension of X has a trivial bundle as a summand; this is Theoreme 1 in numdam.org/article/SD_1957-1958__11_2_A9_0.pdf.
May 14, 2020 at 16:11 comment added abx You want $A$ to be a direct summand of $M$. Since a projective module is torsion free, any nonzero element gives rise to an injection $A\hookrightarrow M$.
