In this post, I’ll be summarizing the basics of the correspondence between vector bundles, locally free sheaves and divisors on a smooth curve (defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero) together with some of their individual properties. Locally free sheaves and Vector bundles: Proposition 1: a) A coherent sheaf on a curve is locally free… Continue reading

I wrote up the pre-requisites here. In 1957, Atiyah in this famous paper “Vector bundles over… Continue reading
