Triviality and split of vector bundles on rationally connected varieties

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, we give a simple proof of a triviality criterion due to I.Biswas and J.Pedro and P.Dos Santos. We also prove a vector bundle on a homogenous space is trivial if and only if the restrictions of the vector bundle to Schubert lines are trivial. Using this result and Chern classes of vector bundles, we give a general criterion of a uniform vector bundle on a homogenous space to be splitting. As an application, we prove a uniform vector bundle on classical Grassmannians and quadrics of low rank is splitting.


For \(X\) a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field the triviality of a vector bundle \(V\) on \(X\) is equivalent to the triviality of its restriction to every curve \(C \subseteq X\). The paper under review provides a new proof of the known fact that, when \(X\) is rationally connected, the triviality of \(V\) is equivalent to that of its restriction to every rational curve \(C \subseteq X\). Moreover, in the particular case of rational homogeneous varieties \(G/P\), it is proved that \(V\) is trivial if and only if its restriction to every Schubert line is trivial. This is applied when \(G/P\) is a complex variety of Picard number one and \(V\) uniform to show a criterion of decomposability of \(V\) as sum of line bundles in terms of its variety of minimal rational tangents. Several known results on certain homogeneous varieties are revisited.
