Existence of vector bundles and global resolutions for singular surfaces

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We prove two results about vector bundles on singular algebraic surfaces. First, on proper surfaces there are vector bundles of rank two with arbitrarily large second Chern number and fixed determinant. Second, on separated normal surfaces any coherent sheaf is the quotient of a vector bundle. As a consequence, for such surfaces the Quillen K-theory of vector bundles coincides with the Waldhausen K-theory of perfect complexes. Examples show that, on nonseparated schemes, usually many coherent sheaves are not quotients of vector bundles.
