Planes of matrices of constant rank and globally generated vector bundles (Q5962665): Difference between revisions

The authors address the question of finding the Chern classes of those rank \(2\) vector bundles on \({\mathbb P}^2\) which are co-kernels of skew symmetric matrices of linear forms. For the stable case (i.e. \(c_1^2 < 4c_2\)) one shows that \(c_2 \leq{{c_1+1}\choose{2}}\) is a necessary and sufficient condition. In the unstable range ( \(c_1^2 \geq 4c_2\)), it is shown that there are globally generated rank \(2\) vector bundles on \({\mathbb P}^2\) which are not cokernels of a skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms. An interesting example with Chern classes \((c,2c)\), \(c > 9\) is provided.
