However, as I'm sure you know, these results definitely don't extend to higher dimensional manifolds. For those interested, I give an example at the end of my answer. | |

| Apr 23, 2011 at 10:49 | comment | added | Johannes Ebert | Have a look into Forster's book on Riemann surfaces. In one of the last sections, he proves that any vector bundle on an opne Riemann surfaces is trivial, and this is derived from the triviality of line bundles. | |
| Apr 23, 2011 at 5:48 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | If the proof really takes "9 pages of difficult analysis", it would be rather ironic, because the eventual solution to Serre's problem on finitely generated projective modules over polynomial rings was much shorter than this. (So I am interested to hear answers to this question...) | |
