Fano bundles over \(P^ 3\) and \(Q_ 3\) (Q917622)

Let E be a vector bundle of rank \(r\geq 2\) on a smooth complex projective variety M. E is called a Fano bundle if its projectivization P(E) is a Fano manifold. In this paper, the authors prove that Fano bundles exist only on Fano manifolds. Furthermore, they determine all rank-2 Fano bundles on \({\mathbb{P}}^ 3\) with \(c_ 1=0, -1\) and they discuss rank-2 Fano bundles over a 3-dimensional smooth quadric Q with \(c_ 1=0\), \(c_ 2=2\) and with \(c_ 1=-1\), \(c_ 2=1\).
