TL;DR
The paper extends Klyachko's classification of toric vector bundles from toric varieties over a field to toric schemes over a discrete valuation ring by realizing bundles through graded piecewise linear maps into the total extended Bruhat-Tits building. It shows that isomorphism classes of toric vector bundles on a proper toric DVR scheme correspond to integral graded piecewise linear maps $\Phi:|\Sigma|\to\widetilde{\mathfrak{B}}(E)$, with the generic fiber captured by the linear part $\Phi_0$ and, in the complete case, the piecewise affine data $\Phi_1$ describing the vector bundle on the generic fiber. A local equivariant triviality result, a precise construction of $\Phi$, and a splitting criterion extend Klyachko's field-based theory and Mumford's line-bundle classification to the DVR setting. The framework lays groundwork for arithmetic and tropical aspects of toric vector bundles, including future avenues like equivariant Chern classes and tropical analogues, and it suggests further extensions to higher-dimensional local fields via Bruhat-Tits theory.
Abstract
We give a classification of rank $r$ torus equivariant vector bundles $\mathcal{E}$ on a toric scheme $\mathfrak{X}$ over a discrete valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$, in terms of graded piecewise linear maps $Φ$ from the fan of $\mathfrak{X}$ to the (extended) building of $GL(r)$. This is an extension of Klyachko's classification of torus equivariant vector bundles on toric varieties over a field on one hand, and Mumford's classification of equivariant line bundles on toric schemes over $\mathcal{O}$ on the other hand. We also give a simple criterion for equivariant splitting of $\mathcal{E}$ into a sum of toric line bundles in terms of its piecewise linear map. Among other things, this work lays the foundations for study of arithmetic geometry of toric vector bundles.
