TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize the theory of Horrocks monads to ACM varieties, and use the generalization to establish a cohomological characterization of linear and Steiner bundles on projective space and on quadric hypersurfaces.
Abstract: We generalize the theory of Horrocks monads to ACM varieties, and use the generalization to establish a cohomological characterization of linear and Steiner bundles on projective space and on quadric hypersurfaces. We also characterize Steiner bundles on the Grassmannian G(1, 4) of lines in ℙ4. Finally, we study linear resolutions of bundles on ACM varieties, and characterize linear homological dimension on quadric hypersurfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, a construction of framed torsion free instanton sheaves on a projective variety containing a fixed line is presented, which further generalises the one on projective spaces.
Abstract: We present a construction of framed torsion free instanton sheaves on a projective variety containing a fixed line which further generalises the one on projective spaces. This is done by generalising the so called ADHM variety. We show that the moduli space of such objects is a quasi projective variety, which is fine in the case of projective spaces. We also give an ADHM categorical description of perverse instanton sheaves in the general case, along with a hypercohomological characterisation of these sheaves in the particular case of projective spaces.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the tangent sheaf of a codimension one locally free distribution splits as a sum of line bundles if and only if its singular scheme is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay.
Abstract: We prove that the tangent sheaf of a codimension one locally free distribution splits as a sum of line bundles if and only if its singular scheme is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay. In addition, we show that a foliation by curves is given by an intersection of generically transversal holomorphic distributions of codimension one if and only if its singular scheme is arithmetically Buchsbaum. Finally, we establish that these foliations are determined by their singular schemes, and deduce that the Hilbert scheme of certain arithmetically Buchsbaum schemes of codimension $2$ is birational to a Grassmannian.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new family of monads whose cohomology is a stable rank two vector bundle is presented, and the irreducibility and smoothness of these monads are studied.
Abstract: We present a new family of monads whose cohomology is a stable rank two vector bundle on $\mathbb{P}^3$. We also study the irreducibility and smoothness together with a geometrical description of some of these families. These facts are used to construct a new infinite series of rational moduli components of stable rank two vector bundles with trivial determinant and growing second Chern class. We also prove that the moduli space of stable rank two vector bundles with trivial determinant and second Chern class equal to 5 has exactly three irreducible rational components.

TL;DR: In this article, the natural geometry of Hilbert schemes of curves is described in terms of a Hilbert scheme of curves in √ √ n σ 2 σ 3, √ σ 4 σ σ n 2, where σ is the number of vertices.
Abstract: We describe the natural geometry of Hilbert schemes of curves in ${\mathbb P}^3$ and, in some cases, in ${\mathbb P}^n$ , $n\geq 4$.

  • ...ed the study of some special kind of monads which were named Horrocks later on (cf. [1] and [5] for example). Monads on projective spaces have been much studied in the past 25 years (see for instance [15, 17, 21, 22] and the references therein). More recently, many authors have also been interested on monads over more general varieties, see [8, 11, 18]. We start the present article in Section 2 studying general m...

Linear bundles on P2 and P3 have been studied since the late 1970’s (cf. [22]), and the mathematical instanton bundles on P2n+1 introduced by Okonek and Spindler in [23] are examples of linear bundles. More general linear monads were first considered in [18].

Some specific varieties have been looked at in the literature; in [3] the authors classify all locally-free ACM sheaves on the grassmannian of lines in P4; certain Fano 3-folds were considered in [4...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define stable vector bundles on the complex quadric hypersurface Qn of dimension n as the natural generalization of the universal bundle and the dual of the quotient bundle on Q4 ~ Gr(l,3).
Abstract: We define some stable vector bundles on the complex quadric hypersurface Qn of dimension n as the natural generalization of the universal bundle and the dual of the quotient bundle on Q4 ~ Gr(l,3). We call them spinor bundles. When n = 2fc — 1 there is one spinor bundle of rank 2k~1. When n = 2k there are two spinor bundles of rank 2k~1. Their behavior is slightly different according as n = 0 (mod 4) or n = 2 (mod 4). As an application, we describe some moduli spaces of rank 3 vector bundles on Q5 and Qe- Introduction. Let Qn be the smooth quadric hypersurface of the complex pro- jective space Pn+1. In this paper we define in a geometrical way some vector bundles on the quadric Qn as the natural generalization of the universal bundle and the dual of the quotient bundle on Q4 ~ Gr(l,3). We call them spinor bundles. On Q4 this definition is equivalent to the usual one. Spinor bundles are homogeneous and stable (according to the definition of Mum- ford-Takemoto). We study their first properties using the geometrical description given and some standard techniques available in (OSS). We also use a theorem of Ramanan (see (Um)) about the stability of homoge- neous bundles induced by irreducible representations. When n is odd there is only one spinor bundle, while when n is even there are two nonisomorphic spinor bun- dles. When n is even the behavior of spinor bundles is slightly different according as n = 0 (mod4) or n = 2 (mod4). In (Ot2) we have given a cohomological splitting criterion for vector bundles on quadrics involving spinor bundles. Qn ~ Spin(n + 2)/P(cty) (St) is a homogeneous manifold, and the semisimple part of the Lie algebra of -P(ai) is o(n). At the level of Lie algebras, spinor bundles are defined from the spin and half-spin representations of o(n). The paper is divided into three sections. In §1 we give some preliminary results and we define the spinor bundles. In §2 we study the first properties of spinor bundles. In §3, as an application, we describe some moduli spaces of rank 3 vector bundles on Q5 and Qq.
