Abstract

Let LL be the function field of a projective space Pkn{\mathbb P}^n_k over an algebraically closed field kk of characteristic zero, and HH be the group of projective transformations. An HH-sheaf V{\mathcal V} on Pkn{\mathbb P}^n_k is a collection of isomorphisms VgV{\mathcal V} \longrightarrow g^{\ast}{\mathcal V} for each gHg\in H satisfying the chain rule. We construct, for any n>1n>1, a fully faithful functor from the category of finite-dimensional LL-semi-linear representations of HH extendable to the semi-group End(L/k){\rm End}(L/k) to the category of coherent HH-sheaves on Pkn{\mathbb P}^n_k. The paper is motivated by a study of admissible representations of the automorphism group GG of an algebraically closed extension of kk of countable transcendence degree undertaken in \cite{rep}. The semi-group End(L/k){\rm End}(L/k) is considered as a subquotient of GG, hence the condition on extendability. In the appendix it is shown that, if H~\tilde{H} is either HH, or a bigger subgroup in the Cremona group (generated by HH and a standard involution), then any semi-linear H~\tilde{H}-representation of degree one is an integral LL-tensor power of detLΩL/k1\det_L\Omega^1_{L/k}. It is shown also that this bigger subgroup has no non-trivial representations of finite degree if n>1n>1.
