Abstract

Let XPn+1X\subseteq{\mathbb P}^{n+1} be an integral hypersurface of degree dd. We show that each locally Cohen-Macaulay instanton sheaf E\mathcal E on XX with respect to OXOPn+1(1)\mathcal O_X\otimes\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^{n+1}}(1) in the sense of Definition 1.3 in arXiv:2205.04767 [math.AG] yields the existence of Steiner bundles G\mathcal G and F\mathcal F on Pn+1\mathbb P^{n+1} of the same rank rr and a morphism φ ⁣:G(1)F\varphi\colon \mathcal G(-1)\to\mathcal F^\vee such that the form defining XX to the power rk(E)\mathrm{rk}(\mathcal E) is exactly det(φ)\det(\varphi). We inspect several examples for low values of dd, nn and rk(E)\mathrm{rk}(\mathcal E). In particular, we show that the form defining a smooth integral surface in P3\mathbb P^3 is the pfaffian of some skew-symmetric morphism φ ⁣:F(1)F\varphi\colon \mathcal F(-1)\to\mathcal F^\vee, where F\mathcal F is a suitable Steiner bundle on P3\mathbb P^3 of sufficiently large even rank.
