Some properties of Fano manifolds that are zeros of sections in homogeneous vector bundles over Grassmannians (Q1358945)

Let \({\mathcal F}\) be a globally generated irreducible homogeneous vector bundle over \(\text{Gr}(k,n)\), the Grassmannian of \(k\)-dimensional quotients of \({\mathbb C}^n\). Then a general section of \({\mathcal F}\) vanishes on a manifold \(X\) whose canonical divisor is a multiple of the hyperplane section in the Plücker embedding. When \(X\) is a Fano manifold (i.e. when the multiple is negative), the author proves that \(X\) is then projectively normal with respect to the Plücker embedding, and that small deformations of \(X\) are also obtained as zero sections of the vector bundle \({\mathcal F}\). In case \(X\) has dimension four and its Picard group is generated by the anticanonical divisor, the same result is proved if the only assumption on \({\mathcal F}\) is that it is a direct sum of irreducible homogeneous vector bundles. The proof is based on the use of Bott's theorem to check the vanishing of suitable cohomology of certain homogeneous vector bundles on \(\text{Gr}(k,n)\) obtained from \({\mathcal F}\).
