Abstract

We complete the classification of globally generated vector bundles with small c1c_1 on projective spaces by treating the case c1=5c_1 = 5 on Pn\mathbb{P}^n, n4n \geq 4 (the case c13c_1 \leq 3 has been considered by Sierra and Ugaglia, while the cases c1=4c_1 = 4 on any projective space and c1=5c_1 = 5 on P2\mathbb{P}^2 and P3\mathbb{P}^3 have been studied in two of our previous papers). It turns out that there are very few indecomposable bundles of this kind: besides some obvious examples there are, roughly speaking, only the (first twist of the) rank 5 vector bundle which is the middle term of the monad defining the Horrocks bundle of rank 3 on P5\mathbb{P}^5, and its restriction to P4\mathbb{P}^4. We recall, in an appendix, from our preprint [arXiv:1805.11336], the main results allowing the classification of globally generated vector bundles with c1=5c_1 = 5 on P3\mathbb{P}^3. Since there are many such bundles, a large part of the main body of the paper is occupied with the proof of the fact that, except for the simplest ones, they do not extend to P4\mathbb{P}^4 as globally generated vector bundles.
