Let $[Z_0:Z_1]$ be homogeneous coordinates on the complex projective line. The complex tautological line bundle $\mathcal{O}(-1)$ has fibre the line $\mathbb{C}(Z_0,Z_1)\subset {\mathbb{C}}^2$ over that point. Its dual is the hyperplane line bundle $\mathcal{O}(1)$. Define the tensor powers of the hyperplane line bundle by $\mathcal{O}(n)=\mathcal{O}(1{)}^{\otimes n}$ for $n>0$, the trivial line bundle for $n=0$, and the appropriate power of $\mathcal{O}(-1)$ for $n<0$.

An explicit holomorphic line bundle construction uses the two charts $U_0=\{Z_0\ne 0\}$ and $U_{\infty }=\{Z_1\ne 0\}$ with coordinates $z=Z_1/Z_0$ and $w=Z_0/Z_1=1/z$. Choose holomorphic local frames related on the overlap byThis is consistent with the tautological frames $(1,z)$ and $(w,1)=z^{-1}(1,z)$ for $\mathcal{O}(-1)$. A holomorphic section of $\mathcal{O}(n)$ is represented by entire chart functions satisfyingExpand $f_0(z)={\sum }_{k\ge 0}{a}_k{z}^k$. Holomorphicity of $f_{\infty }$ at $w=0$ requires every power $w^{n-k}$ with $n-k<0$ to vanish. Thus for $n\ge 0$, $f_0$ is exactly a polynomial of degree at most $n$. Conversely every such polynomial gives an entire $f_{\infty }$. Its coefficients supply the explicit isomorphismEquivalently, the global holomorphic sections are the homogeneous polynomials ${\sum }_{k=0}^n{a}_k{Z}_0^{n-k}{Z}_1^k$. For $n<0$, the same chart argument gives no nonzero global section.

For the first cohomology, use the sheaf of holomorphic sections of a vector bundle and its Čech cohomology on this two-chart cover. A zero-cochain is a pair of entire chart functions $(h_0,h_{\infty })$. A one-cochain is a function $g(z)$ holomorphic on ${\mathbb{C}}^{\ast }$, multiplied by $e_0$. There are no alternating two-cochains on a two-set cover, so every one-cochain is a cocycle. The coboundaries areConsequently the holomorphic Laurent-series cohomology of twists on the projective line isHere the last term means the set of functions $z^{n}h(1/z)$ with $h$ entire. The charts and their intersection are Stein manifolds; Cartan theorem B makes this cover acyclic for the line-bundle section sheaf, so this Čech group computes the sheaf cohomology.

Every $g$ on ${\mathbb{C}}^{\ast }$ has a Laurent series ${\sum }_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}{a}_k{z}^k$ converging normally on compact annuli. Its nonnegative-power tail is an entire function of $z$ and can be removed by a finite-chart coboundary. Its tail with $k\le n$ can be removed by $z^n{h}_{\infty }(1/z)$: the series ${\sum }_{k\le n}{a}_k{w}^{n-k}$ is entire in $w$, because the inner Laurent radius is zero. Assign any overlapping removable powers to just one tail. The only possible remaining powers satisfy $n<k<0$.

If $n\ge -1$, there is no such integer, proving the requested vanishing:For completeness, if $n\le -2$, the remaining classes have basis $z^{n+1},\dots ,z^{-1}$ and dimension $-n-1$. None can be a coboundary, by uniqueness of Laurent coefficients. This also explains exactly why $-2$ is the threshold.

Finally, a global holomorphic section of $\mathcal{O}(1)\oplus \mathcal{O}(1)$ is a pair of linear homogeneous polynomials:It vanishes at a projective point precisely when the nonzero vector $(Z_0,Z_1{)}^T$ belongs to the kernel of the coefficient matrix $M=\left(\begin{array}{cc}a& b\\ c& d\end{array}\right)$. If $M$ has rank two there is no zero; if $M=0$ the section vanishes everywhere. Exactly one projective zero occurs precisely when the kernel is a one-dimensional line. Thus the rank-one sections of two hyperplane line bundles are characterized byEquivalently, $s=v\ell$, where $v\in {\mathbb{C}}^2$ is a fixed nonzero vector and $\ell$ is a nonzero section of $\mathcal{O}(1)$. Its single simple zero is the zero of $\ell$. This includes the case when one component is identically zero and the other is a nonzero linear form.
