Resolutions of homogeneous bundles on \({\mathbb P}^2\). (Q1777637)

In the paper under review, homogeneous vector bundles \(E\) on \(\mathbb P^2= \mathbb P(V)\) are studied by means of their minimal free resolution \[ 0 \to \bigoplus_q {\mathcal O}(-q) \otimes A_q \to \bigoplus_q {\mathcal O}(-q) \otimes B_q \to E \to 0 \] with SL\((V)\)-invariant maps, and \(A_q,B_q\) being SL\((V)\) representations. The representations and the maps \(\bigoplus_q {\mathcal O}(-q) \otimes A_q \to \bigoplus_q {\mathcal O}(-q) \otimes B_q\) which can occur are completely characterized. Then, conditions for \(E\) to be simple or stable are studied in terms of the above resolution when the first term is irreducible and the second one is regular. Infinitely many examples of unstable simple homogeneous bundles are also given.
