     Let E and F be two vector bundles on a compact algebraic set X.

   • 2012, Igor Burban, Bernd Kreussler, Vector Bundles on Degenerations of Elliptic Curves and Yang-Baxter Equations, American Mathematical Society, page 5,

     This^[sic] solutions actually depend on the choice of a trivialisation $\xi$ of the universal family ${\mathcal {P}}(n,d)$ of stable vector bundles of rank $n$ and degree $d$.

   • 2017, David J. Benson, Representations of Elementary Abelian p-Groups and Vector Bundles, Cambridge University Press, page 130:

     Definition 6.1.5 A non-zero vector bundle ${\mathcal {F}}$ on $X$ is said to be decomposable if it can be written as ${\mathcal {F}}_{1}\oplus {\mathcal {F}}_{2}$ with ${\mathcal {F}}_{1}$ and ${\mathcal {F}}_{2}$ non-zero vector bundles. Otherwise it is said to be indecomposable.
