Eisenbud and Schreyer's natural vector bundle conjecture on the quadric surface

Let Q=P1×P1Q=P^1\times\mathbb{P}^1 and write E(a,b)=EOQ(a,b)E(a,b)=E\otimes\mathcal{O}_Q(a,b). A vector bundle EE has natural cohomology if, for every pair of integers (a,b)(a,b), the cohomology H(E(a,b))H^*(E(a,b)) is concentrated in one degree. For rational numbers α,β,γ\alpha,\beta,\gamma, set

p(x,y)=(x+α)(y+β)γ.p(x,y)=(x+\alpha)(y+\beta)-\gamma.

Eisenbud and Schreyer's conjecture. For any p(x,y)Q[x,y]p(x,y)\in\mathbb{Q}[x,y] with γ>0\gamma>0, there exists a vector bundle EE with natural cohomology and Hilbert polynomial

χ(E(a,b))=rank(E)p(a,b)\chi(E(a,b))=\operatorname{rank}(E)p(a,b)

for rank(E)\operatorname{rank}(E) sufficiently big. The paper proves this conjecture when α\alpha and β\beta are not both integral; the remaining cases are not resolved here.
