The projective line ℙ¹_k realised as Proj k[x₀, x₁].
Instances For
The category of O_{ℙ¹}-modules on ℙ¹_k.
Instances For
The predicate that a sheaf of modules E on X is locally free of rank r
(a vector bundle of rank r).
Instances For
Any rank-(r+2) vector bundle on ℙ¹_k can be put into normalised form by twisting,
and any splitting of the normalised bundle yields a splitting of the original.
For a normalised rank-(r+2) bundle on ℙ¹, a chosen global section gives a rank-(r+1)
quotient E' whose splitting (with non-positive degrees) lifts back to E.
Normalisation forces the splitting summands of the rank-(r+1) quotient to have
non-positive degrees, ensuring the inductive step yields a valid Grothendieck splitting.
Base case (rank 0): the zero bundle on ℙ¹ splits as an empty direct sum of twists.
Base case (rank 1): every line bundle on ℙ¹_k is isomorphic to some O_{ℙ¹}(d).
Inductive step in the Grothendieck-Birkhoff proof: given the splitting result for all
ranks ≤ r + 1, every rank-(r + 2) bundle splits as a direct sum of Serre twists.
Grothendieck-Birkhoff (Theorem 24.1, existence): Every rank-r vector bundle on
ℙ¹_k is isomorphic to a direct sum ⨁ O_{ℙ¹}(dᵢ) of Serre twists.
Helper: Two Grothendieck-Birkhoff splittings of the same bundle agree as multisets of integers.
Grothendieck-Birkhoff (Theorem 24.1, uniqueness): The multiset of degrees in the
splitting of a vector bundle on ℙ¹_k is uniquely determined.
Grothendieck-Birkhoff (Theorem 24.1, full statement): Every vector bundle on ℙ¹_k
splits uniquely (as a multiset of degrees) into a direct sum of Serre twists.
