Horrocks-Mumford bundle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In algebraic geometry, a branch of mathematics, the Horrocks–Mumford bundle is an indecomposable rank 2 vector bundle on 4-dimensional projective space P⁴ named after Geoffrey Horrocks and David Mumford. It is the only such bundle known, although a generalized construction involving Paley graphs produces other rank 2 sheaves (Sasukara et al 1993). The zero sets of sections of the Horrocks–Mumford bundle are abelian surfaces of degree 10, called Horrocks–Mumford surfaces.
