On globally generated vector bundles on projective spaces

subject

description

AbstractA classification is given for globally generated vector bundles E of rank k on Pn having first Chern class c1(E)=2. In particular, we get that they split if k<n unless E is a twisted null-correlation bundle on P3. In view of the well-known correspondence between globally generated vector bundles and maps to Grassmannians, we obtain, as a corollary, a classification of double Veronese embeddings of Pn into a Grassmannian G(k−1,N) of (k−1)-planes in PN.
