Abstract: We introduce a notion of regularity for coherent sheaves on Grassmannians of lines. We use this notion to prove some extension of Evans-Griffith criterion to characterize direct sums of line bundles. We also give a cohomological characterization of exterior and symmetric powers of the universal bundles of the Grassmannian.


The notion of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is a very useful tool in the study of vector bundles on projective spaces. In particular it allows to characterize direct sums of line bundles (Evans-Griffith splitting criterion). Regularity has been first introduced by Mumford in the 60s and more recently it has been generalized by many authors to other ambient spaces, such as Grassmannians, products of projective spaces, quadrics. The authors of the paper under review propose a new notion of regularity in the case of Grassmannians of lines. Their definition is based on the analogue of the Koszul exact sequence, obtained taking the exterior powers of the universal exact sequence on the Grassmannian. This notion is less restrictive than the other previous definitions of regularity, and allows to obtain a characterization of the direct sums of line bundles on the Grassmannian. Moreover the authors find a cohomological characterization of exterior and symmetric powers of the universal bundles of the Grassmannian.
