Classification of (complex algebraic) vector bundles on punctured affine space The Quillen-Suslin theorem asserts that there are no nontrivial vector bundles over the affine space $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}$, $n\geq 0$.
Let's work over the complex numbers. What can be said about vector bundles on the punctured affine space $X_n=\mathbb{A}^{n+1}\smallsetminus\{0\}$?
According to this paper, there seem to be room for nontrivial vector bundles.
Let $\mathbb{C}^{*}$ act on $X_n$ by the action $\lambda.(x_0,\dots,x_n):=(\lambda x_0,\lambda x_1,\dots, \lambda x_n)$ whose quotient is $\mathbb{P}^n$.
Notice that equivariant v.b. on $X_n$ are in bijection -via pullback- with v.b. on $\mathbb{P}^n$, and the latter form already a rich moduli problem on its own. In this question we concentrate on the specificity of $X_n$

1. Is there some sort of classification of v.b. on $X_n$, taking as a starting base -say- the "classification" of stable v.b. on $\mathbb{P}^n$ given by the corresponding moduli spaces?
What about particular ranks, for example the case of line bundles?
2. Are there vector bundles on $X_n$ that are not pullbacks of v.b. on $\mathbb{P}^n$, that is, v.b. on $X_n$ that do not admit an equivariant structure?

 A: Jean-Pierre Serre, Prolongement de faisceaux analytiques coh ́erents, Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble) 16 (1966), no. fasc. 1, 363–374. MR MR0212214 (35 #3088) p. 372 proves that there are infinitely many distinct holomorphic line bundles on $\mathbb{C}^2-0$.
A: I spoke to my colleague Song Sun, and he reminded me of a discussion that he and I had about Question 2 some time ago.  For $n\geq 2$, there are many examples of locally free sheaves on $X_{n} = \mathbb{A}^{n+1}\setminus\{0\}$ that admit no equivariant structure.  Denote by $S$ the polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x_0,\dots,x_n]$.  Denote by $S_+$ the maximal ideal $\langle x_0,\dots,x_n \rangle$.  Let $\underline{f}=(f_0,\dots,f_n)$ be a regular sequence of elements in $S_+$.  
Associated to this regular sequence there is a Koszul complex $(K_\bullet(\underline{f}),d_\bullet)$ of $S$-modules where $K_0(\underline{f})$ equals $S$, where $K_1(\underline{f})$ equals $S^{\oplus(n+1)}$, where $K_r(\underline{f})$ is the $r^{\text{th}}$ exterior power of $K_1(\underline{f})$, and where $d_r:K_r(\underline{f}) \to K_{r-1}(\underline{f})$ is the unique sequence of $R$-module homomorphisms such that $d_1(g_1,\dots,g_n) = f_1g_1 + \dots + f_ng_n$ and such that $(K_{\bullet}(\underline{f}),d_\bullet)$ is a differential graded $R$-algebra.  To be precise, $d_{r-1}\circ d_r$ equals the zero homomorphism, and $d_{r+s}(\alpha \wedge \beta) = d_r(\alpha)\wedge \beta + (-1)^r\alpha\wedge d_s(\beta)$ for every $r,s\geq 0$, for every $\alpha\in K_r(\underline{f})$, and for every $\beta\in K_s(\underline{f})$.          
For every integer $r\geq 1$, denote by $Z_r(\underline{f})$ the kernel of $d_r$.  Since $\underline{f}$ is a regular sequence, this is the same as the image of $d_{r+1}$.  Thus, also define $Z_0(\underline{f})$ to be the image of $d_1$, i.e., the ideal $I$ generated by $\underline{f}$.  In particular, $Z_{n+1}(\underline{f})$ is the zero module, and $Z_n(\underline{f})$ is $K_{n+1}(\underline{f})$.  
Fact 1. For all $r$ with $1\leq r \leq n$, $Z_r(\underline{f})$ is a reflexive $S$-module.
Proof.  By construction $K_r(\underline{f})$ is a free $S$-module, hence reflexive, and $K_{r-1}(\underline{f})$ is torsion-free (even free).  The kernel of every $S$-module homomorphism from a reflexive module to a torsion-free module is reflexive. QED
Fact 2. For $M=Z_{n-1}(\underline{f})$, the first Fitting ideal $\text{Fitt}_1(M)$ equals the ideal $I$ generated by $(f_0,\dots,f_n)$.
Proof. The Fitting ideal can be computed from any finite presentation of $M$.  For $Z_{n-1}(\underline{f})$, one such presentation is $d_{n+1}:K_{n+1}(\underline{f}) \to K_n(\underline{f})$.  By self-duality of the Koszul complex, the Fitting ideal of $d_{n+1}$ is $I$. QED
Since the Fitting ideal is intrinsic, if $M$ is equivariant, then $I$ is a homogeneous ideal.  However, there are many $S_+$-primary ideals $I$ that are generated by a regular sequence, yet are not homogeneous ideals.  For instance, one example is $$\underline{f}=(x_0,x_1,\dots,x_{n-2},x_{n-1}-x_n^2,x_n^3).$$ For $n\geq 2$, for such $\underline{f}$, the module $M=Z_{n-1}(\underline{f})$ is reflexive, the restriction of $\widetilde{M}$ to $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}\setminus\{0\}$ is locally free (visibly it is locally free on each $D(f_i)$ for $i=0,\dots,n$).  Yet $\widetilde{M}$ is not equivariant since $I$ is not a homogeneous ideal.
Edit. Song Sun asked the following variant of the question.  For a reflexive $S$-module that is locally free on $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}\setminus\{0\}$ and whose Fitting ideals are all homogeneous, is the module equivariant?  Also, note that every module as constructed above (also allowing other syzygy modules of the complexes) has rank $\geq n$.  So here is a second variant: is every reflexive $S$-module that is locally free on $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}\setminus\{0\}$ equivariant provided that the rank is $\leq n-1$?
