Rank 2 ample vector bundles on some smooth rational surfaces (Q1376574)

Ample and spanned vector bundles with small Chern numbers have been studied by several authors, among them Lanteri and Sommese. Motivated by the results, we attempt to classify ample vector bundles with small \(c_2\) on surfaces without spannedness. As the first step in this paper, we consider rank 2 ample vector bundles on Hirzebruch surfaces and on Del Pezzo surfaces. We obtain classification results for rank 2 ample vector bundles with \(c_2\) less than seven on Hirzebruch surfaces and with \(c_2\) less than four on Del Pezzo surfaces.
