Introduction These lecture notes are intended as an introduction to the methods of classification of holomorphic vector bundles over projective algebraic manifolds X. To be as concrete as possible we have mostly restricted ourselves to the case X = Fn. According to Serre (GAGA) the classification of holomorphic vector bundles is equivalent to the classification of algebraic vector bundles. Here we have used almost exclusively the language of analytic geometry. The book is intended for students who have a basic knowledge of analytic and (or) algebraic geometry. Some fundamental results from these fields are summarized at the beginning. One of the authors gave a survey in the Seminaire Bourbaki 1978 on the current state of the classification of holomorphic vector bundles overfn. This lecture then served as the basis for a course of lectures in Gottingen in the Winter Semester 78/79. The present work is an extended and up-dated exposition of that course. Because of the introductory nature of this book we have had to leave out some difficult topics such as the restriction theorem of Barth. As compensation we have appended to each section a paragraph in which historical remarks are made, further results indicated and unsolved problems presented. The book is divided into two chapters. Each chapter is subdivided into several sections which in turn are made up of a number of paragraphs. Each section is preceeded by a short description of
iv its contents. In assembling the list of literature we have done our best to include all the articles about vector bundles over Pn which are known to us. On the other hctnd we have not thought it necessary to include works about the classification of holomorphic vector bundles over curves. The reader interested in this highly developed theory is recommended to read an article by Tjurin (Russian Math. Surveys 1974) or the lecture notes of a course held at Tata Institute by Newstead. Part of the present interest in holomorphic vector bundles comes from the connection to physics. The mathematician who is interested in this connection is recommended to see the ENS-Seminaire of Douady and Verdier. In the final paragraph of the present lecture notes he will also find remarks about that topic and some literature citations. R. M. Switzer has not only translated the manuscript of these notes into english but has also aided us in answering many mathematical questions. For this assitance we wish to thank him heartily. Furthermore we wish to thank Mrs. M. Schneider for doing such a good job with the unpleasant task of typing these notes and H.Hoppe for assembling the index and doing the difficult job of inserting the mathematical symbols.
