Abstract: In this paper we compare a torsion free sheaf FF on PPN and the free vector bundle oplusi=1nOPN(bi) having same rank and splitting type. We show that the first one has always "less" global sections, while it has a higher second Chern class. In both cases bounds for the difference are found in terms of the maximal free subsheaves of FF. As a consequence we obtain a direct, easy and more general proof of the "Horrocks' splitting criterion", also holding for torsion free sheaves, and lower bounds for the Chern classes ci(FF(t)) of twists of FF, only depending on some numerical invariants of FF. Especially, we prove for rank n torsion free sheaves on PPN, whose splitting type has no gap (i.e. bigeqbi+1geqbi−1 for every i=1,...,n−1), the following formula for the discriminant: [ Delta(FF):=2nc_2-(n-1)c_1^2geq -{1/12}n^2(n^2-1)] Finally in the case of rank n reflexive sheaves we obtain polynomial upper bounds for the absolute value of the higher Chern classes c3(FF(t)),...,cn(FF(t)), for the dimension of the cohomology modules HiFF(t) and for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of FF; these polynomial bounds only depend only on c1(FF), c2(FF), the splitting type of FF and t.
