Description

This function returns the kernel of the matrix describing the morphism

$\Phi: S^{md-2}V \otimes O_{\PP^d} \to S^{(m-1)d}V \otimes O_{\PP^d)}(1)$

given by the projection

$S^dV \otimes S^{(m-1)d}V \to S^{md-2}V$

of the irreducible $SL(2)$-subrepresentation of highest weight $md-2$, where $\PP^d = \PP(S^dV)$ as $V=<v_0,v_1>$.

In the paper A construction of equivariant bundles on the space of symmetric forms, it is proved that the matrix $\Phi$ has constant co-rank 1, so that the kernel $W = ker \Phi$ turns out to be a vector bundle, and the entries of the matrix $\Phi$ are explicitly described.

By default, slEquivariantVectorBundle defines the vector bundle over a projective space whose coordinate ring has rational coefficients. The optional argument CoefficientRing allows one to change the coefficient ring.
