A new section on projections of coherent sheaves from a projective space to a lower-dimensional projective space has been added. Also some of the notation has been altered to bring it into line with the joint paper with Eisenbud and Schreyer.
For the exterior algebra E over a vector space, we consider general maps E^a -> E(1)^b and general symmetric and skew-symmetric maps E^a -> E(1)^a and describe the associated exterior algebra resolutions. Using the theory of homogeneous bundles on homogeneous varieties we also describe the exterior algebra resolutions of much wider classes of maps E^a -> E(r)^b.
In this paper we study the Bernstein-Gel'fand-Gel'fand (BGG) correspondence linking sheaves on a projective space to graded modules over an exterior algebra. We give an explicit construction of a Beilinson monad for a sheaf on projective space. The explicitness allows us to to prove two conjectures about the morphisms in the monad. We also construct all the monads for a sheaf that can be built from sums of line bundles. A large subclass, containing many monads introduced by others, are uniquely characterized by simple numerical data. Our methods also yield an efficient method for machine computation of the cohomology of sheaves. Along the way we study minimal free resolutions over an exterior algebra. For example, we show that such resolutions are eventually dominated by their "linear parts" in the sense that erasing all terms of degree $>1$ in the complex yields a new complex which is eventually exact. This paper is a joint, extended version of papers previously written by Eisenbud-Schreyer and by Fløystad seperately.
This is a little investigation into the classification of complexes of direct sums of line bundles on projective spaces. We consider complexes on projective k-space Pk : O_Pk(-1)^a --> O_Pk^b --> O_Pk(1)^c, with the first map injective and the second map surjective. This is called a monad. We classify completely when such monads exist. Furthermore, whenever it exists we show that the first map may be assumed to degenerate in expected codimension, which is b-a-c+1.
Let $S_d$ be the vector space of monomials of degree $d$ in the variables $x_1, ..., x_s$. For a subspace $V \sus S_d$ which is in general coordinates, consider the subspace $\gin V \sus S_d$ generated by initial monomials of polynomials in $V$ for the revlex order. We address the question of what properties of $V$ may be deduced from $\gin V$. % This is an approach for understanding what algebraic or geometric properties of a homogeneous ideal $I \sus k[x_1, ..., x_s]$ that may be deduced from its generic initial ideal $\gin I$.
