Cohomological characterization of vector bundles on multiprojective spaces

Abstract

We show that Horrock's criterion for the splitting of vector bundles on $\PP^n$ can be extended to vector bundles on multiprojective spaces and to smooth projective varieties with the weak CM property (see Definition 3.11). As a main tool we use the theory of $n$-blocks and Beilinson's type spectral sequences. Cohomological characterizations of vector bundles are also showed.
