Cohomology of vector bundles from a double cover of the projective plane (Q854530)

The author considers vector bundles \(\mathcal{F}_{p,q}\) of rank two on the projective plane obtained as the direct image of line bundles \(\mathcal{L}_{p,q}\) of bidegree \((p,q)\) on the product \(\mathbb{P}^{1} \times \mathbb{P}^{1}\) by the standard \(2:1\) cover \(\pi\). These bundles were previously studied by \textit{R. L. E. Schwarzenberger} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 11, 623--640 (1961; Zbl 0212.26004)], who also computed the rank of their cohomology groups \(H^{r}({P}^{2},\mathcal{F}_{p,q})\). Here an explicit basis for the vector space \(H^{r}(\mathbb{P}^{2},\mathcal{F}_{p,q})\) is computed in a combinatorial fashion. The calculation follows the techniques developed by the author in [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 353, 3097--3114 (2001; Zbl 1027.14008)].
