On vector bundles on \(\mathbb{P}^ n\) which have \(\sigma\)-transition matrices (Q690128)

Let \(\mathbb{P}^ n = \text{Proj} (k[x_ 0, x_ 1, \dots, x_ n])\) and let \(U_ i\) be the open subset of \(\mathbb{P}^ n\) on which \(x_ i \neq 0\). The author first reviews transition matrices for vector bundles on \(\mathbb{P}^ n\) relative to the open covering \(\{U_ i\}\) and then discusses systems of transition matrices (called systems of \(\sigma\)- transition matrices) in which all the matrices in the system can be obtained from one of the matrices by using in a suitable way a permutation \(\sigma\) of the set \(\{0,1,2, \dots, n\}\) of indices. Several examples are given of vector bundles which can arise from a system of \(\sigma\)-transition matrices, including \(\Omega_{\mathbb{P}^ n}\), \(T_{\mathbb{P}^ n} (2)\), the bundle of rank 3 on \(\mathbb{P}^ 5\) constructed by \textit{G. Horrocks} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 18, 15-27 (1978; Zbl 0388.14009)], the indecomposable vector bundle of rank 2 on \(\mathbb{P}^ 5\) constructed by the author in J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 16, 201- 207 (1976; Zbl 0326.14015) (characteristic two) as well as a new type of vector bundle of rank 4 on \(\mathbb{P}^ 5\) (again in characteristic 2). The Horrocks-Mumford bundle of rank 2 on \(\mathbb{P}^ 5\) also has a system of \(\sigma\)-transition matrices.
