Talk at 12:15 PM in 511 Lake


 

Abstract:   This is a longstanding problem in Algebraic Geometry which has its roots in an old paper by Horrocks where he proved that a vector bundle on a projective space decomposes into a sum of line bundles iff it has no intermediate cohomology. I will start my talk giving an easy and short proof of this result, which uses as a main tool Beilinson's spectral sequence.
  In the second part of my talk I will generalize Beilinson's spectral sequence for vector bundles on projective spaces to vector bundles on other projective varieties and I will use this generalization to extend Horrocks Theorem to vector bundles on multiprojective spaces and to Steiner bundles on projective varieties.

 



Here are some directions to Northeastern University. Lake Hall can be best accessed from the entrance on the corner of Greenleaf Street and Leon Street.
