Title: Semi-stability of certain vector bundles on elliptic curves.
Abstract: Abstract Let L be a line bundle of degree d on an elliptic curve C and ϕ : C → P
n
is a morphism
given by a sub-linear system of the complete linear system |L| of dimension n + 1. When d = 4, n
= 2, we prove that ϕ
∗TPn is semi-stable if deg(ϕ(C)) > 1. Moreover, we prove that ϕ
∗TPn is isomorphic to direct sum of two isomorphic line bundles if and only if deg(ϕ(C)) = 2. Conversely, for any
rank two semi-stable vector bundle E on an elliptic curve C of degree 4, there is a non-degenerate
morphism ϕ :C → P
n
such that ϕ
∗TPn (−1) = E. More precisely, E is isomorphic to direct sum of two
isomorphic line bundles if and only if deg(ϕ(C)) = 2. Further E is either indecomposable or direct
sum of non-isomorphic line bundles if and only if deg(ϕ(C)) = 4. When d = 5, n = 3, we compute
the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of ϕ
∗TPn .
