The complex tautological line bundle on has fibre at a line equal to itself:Define , for , to be trivial, and for . These are the tensor powers of the hyperplane line bundle.
On the two given charts, use the holomorphic local frames and of . The maps and are its trivializations. On the overlap ,Thus the frame-transition factor from to is , while the fibre-coordinate transition from chart 0 to chart 1 is . Specifying both avoids an inverse-convention ambiguity.
For , let be the induced frames; they satisfy . Identifying overlap sections using , the Čech cochain groups and Čech coboundary for areHere means entire functions in the coordinate of the corresponding chart. Global sections are , so , or . Expanding the entire function shows that is holomorphic at zero exactly when for . Thus a global section is determined by a polynomial of degree at most , with basis in the chart-0 frame. Therefore .
