Decomposability criterion for linear sheaves
We establish a decomposability criterion for linear sheaves on ℙn. Applying it to instanton bundles, we show, in particular, that every rank 2n instanton bundle of charge 1 on ℙn is decomposable. Moreover, we provide an example of an indecomposable instanton bundle of rank 2n − 1 and charge 1, thus showing that our criterion is sharp.
