Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I asked for :-)
Now I’m happy, learning your stuff.

1. Very useful and informative.
2. I am very much helped.
3. Sir can you please give a hint as how do I think of a rank 2 bundle on an elliptic curve?
Thanks, I’m glad people are still finding this blog useful, though I haven’t touched it in years. I’m no longer in mathematics so I don’t have any deep insights on rank 2 bundles on elliptic curves, but the main thing is that it’s a family of planes for each point on the curve. If there’s some vector space they all fit into (there should be for some finite N, though no clue how to bound it) then that means its a map from the elliptic curve to the Grassmannian. I vaguely recall something about vector bundles over abelian group schemes decomposing into direct sums of line bundles, but I can’t verify it. Good luck!
Thank you for compiling such an organised list of articles!! This is legit!!
This is really helpful, thanks a lot!
