There is a theorem of Grothendieck stating that a vector bundle of rank $r$ over the projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$ can be decomposed into $r$ line bundles uniquely up to isomorphism. If we let $\...

Let $Gr(k,n)$ be the Grassmannian of $k$-dimensional vector subspaces $H^k$ of an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$. Let us fix an $h$-dimensional vector subspace $\Gamma\subset V$ with $h\leq k$, and ...

Let $E\rightarrow X$ be a rank two vector bundle on a variety $X$. How can one write an abstract map $Sym^2(E)\rightarrow (\wedge^2 E)^{\otimes 2}$ that in local coordinates, when we fix a frame of $E$...

On $\mathbb{P}^1$ consider the trivial bundle $\mathcal{O}\oplus \mathcal{O}$, and the subbundle $\mathcal{L}_{a,b}\subset\mathcal{O}\oplus \mathcal{O}$ that on an open subset $U$ of $\mathbb{P}^1$ is ...

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety. Consider an exact sequence $$0\to A\to B\to C\to 0$$ of vector bundles on $X$. I have seen in different papers the following type resolution of wedge product of $C$ (...

Suppose that $X$ is a smooth projective variety (eg $P^n$) and $E$ is a vector bundle (eg the tangent bundle). If the characteristic is zero, then taking symmetric powers "commutes" with taking duals: ...
