Abstract: We generalise the variant of the Babylonian tower theorem for vector bundles on projective spaces proved by I. Coanda and G. Trautmann (2006) to the case of principal $G$-bundles over projective spaces, where $G$ is a linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field. In course of the proofs some new insight into the structure of such principal $G$-bundles is obtained.

Review text

The authors generalise the variant of the Babylonian tower theorem for vector bundles on projective spaces proven by \textit{I. Coandă} and \textit{G. Trautmann} [Commun. Algebra 34, No. 7, 2485--2488 (2006; Zbl 1100.14034)] to principal \(G\)-bundles over projective spaces where \(G\) is a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field \(k\). A principal \(G\)-bundle is called split if it admits a reduction of a structure group to a maximal torus of \(G\). The authors investigate the conditions when a principal vector bundle \(\mathcal E\) and its adjoint \(ad {\mathcal E}\) split, and relations among splitting conditions of them. In the course of the proof some new results on the structure of such principal bundles are obtained.
