A subbundle of a direct sum of vector bundles

152 Views Asked by At

Suppose that $N$ be a vector subbundle of $M_1 \oplus M_2 \oplus ... \oplus M_k$ where $M_1, M_2, ..., M_k$ are line bundles on a smooth algebraic curve $X$. Let $N_i$ be the image of $N$ under the projection $M_1 \oplus M_2 \oplus ... \oplus M_k \to M_i$. Is it true that $N=N_1 \oplus N_2 \oplus ... \oplus N_k$?

No. Take $M_1=M_2=X\times\mathbb{C}$ and $N=\{(x,u,v)\in M_1\oplus M_2=X\times\mathbb{C}^2:u=v\}$. Then, $N_1=M_1$ and $N_2=M_2$ so $N\neq N_1\oplus N_2$.
