Relative version of de Rham cohomology with local coefficients

Given a vector bundle $E \to M$ with connection $\nabla$, we get a twisted de Rham sequence using the exterior covariant derivative: $$\mathcal{E} \xrightarrow{d^\nabla=\nabla} \Omega^1_M \otimes_{\...

Can we use sheaf cohomology to say anything interesting for vector bundles with non-flat connections?

Given a vector bundle $E \to M$ with connection $\nabla$, we get a twisted de Rham sequence using the exterior covariant derivative: $$0 \to \mathcal{E} \xrightarrow{d^\nabla} \Omega^1_M \otimes \...

Geometric meaning of coherent sheaves $\mathcal{F} \otimes \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(d)$ over $\mathbb{P}^n$

Maybe it sounds like a silly question but I'm not able to figure out in my head the geometric meaning of "twisting" vector bundles (or more generaly coherent sheaf) over $\mathbb{P}^n$. I ...
