A construction of equivariant bundles on the space of symmetric forms

We construct stable vector bundles on the space of symmetric forms of degree d in n+1 variables which are equivariant for the action of SL_{n+1}©, and admit an equivariant free resolution of length 2. For n=1, we obtain new examples of stable vector bundles of rank d-1 on P^d, which are moreover equivariant for SL_2©. The presentation matrix of these bundles attains Westwick’s upper bound for the dimension of vector spaces of matrices of constant rank and fixed size.
