SPLITTING TYPE, GLOBAL SECTIONS AND CHERN CLASSES FOR TORSION FREE SHEAVES ON PN
Bertone, Cristina; Roggero, Margherita;

Abstract
In this paper we compare a torsion free sheaf F on $\small{P^N}$ and the free vector bundle $\small{\oplus^n_{i=1}O_{P^N}(b_i)}$ having same rank and splitting type. We show that the first one has always "less" global sections, while it has a higher second Chern class. In both cases bounds for the difference are found in terms of the maximal free subsheaves of F. As a consequence we obtain a direct, easy and more general proof of the "Horrocks' splitting criterion", also holding for torsion free sheaves, and lower bounds for the Chern classes $\small{c_i}$(F(t)) of twists of F, only depending on some numerical invariants of F. Especially, we prove for rank n torsion free sheaves on $\small{P^N}$, whose splitting type has no gap (i.e., $\small{b_i{\geq}b_{i+1}{\geq}b_i-1}$ 1 for every i = 1,$\small{\ldots}$,n-1), the following formula for the discriminant: $\small{\Delta(F):=2_{nc_2}-(n-1)c^2_1\geq-\frac{1}{12}n^2(n^2-1)}$. Finally in the case of rank n reflexive sheaves we obtain polynomial upper bounds for the absolute value of the higher Chern classes $\small{c_3}$(F(t)),$\small{\ldots}$,$\small{c_n}$(F(t)) for the dimension of the cohomology modules $\small{H^iF(t)}$ and for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of F; these polynomial bounds only depend only on $\small{c_1(F)}$, $\small{c_2(F)}$, the splitting type of F and t.
