Let $E \to \mathbb{C}P^\infty$ be any topological complex vector bundle over the infinite complex projective space. I'm wondering if it makes sense to possibly define a "holomorphic structure" on $E$. This a priori requires a complex structure on $\mathbb{C}P^\infty$, which is also something I don't know whether it exists or is well-defined, given that we're working with an infinite dimensional manifold. But it feels natural that there should be at least some notion of holomorphicity on the tautological line bundle over $\mathbb{C}P^\infty$. Is there anything in the literature about this?

Yes, there is lots of literature on this subject. However, Tyurin proved that all vector bundles on $CP^\infty$ are direct sum of line bundles. There are several more recent papers by Penkov and Tikhomirov about vector bundles on $C P^\infty$ (they treat other infinite-dimensional manifolds, too).

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you for the many references. Is Tyurin's result that the vector bundle splits as a direct sum of line bundles topologically or holomorphically? $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 13, 2022 at 19:12

    $\begingroup$ Holomorphically (and the argument is very short and pretty, if I recall correctly) $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 14, 2022 at 7:29
