Taking wedge products of (1.2) we have the exact sequence
for suitable $\alpha_i \in \mathbb{N}$ and from this sequence we can conclude.
Ellia proves Theorem 3.5 in the case of $\mathbb{P}^3$ ([E], Prop. IV.1). He also remarks that the given bound is sharp. This holds on $\mathbb{P}^{2n+1}$ as it is shown by the following theorem, which points out that the special symplectic instanton bundles are the “furthest” from having natural cohomology. $\square$
Theorem 3.6. Let $E$ be a special symplectic instanton bundle on $\mathbb{P}^{2n+1}$ with $c_2 = k$. Then
Proof. For $n=1$ the thesis is immediate from the exact sequence
where $C$ is the union of $k+1$ disjoint lines in a smooth quadric surface. Then the result follows by induction on $n$ by considering the sequence
and the fact that, for a particular choice of the subspace $\mathbb{P}^{2n-1}$, the restriction $E|_{\mathbb{P}^{2n-1}}$ splits as the direct sum of a rank-2 trivial bundle and a special symplectic instanton bundle on $\mathbb{P}^{2n-1}$([ST] 5.9). $\square$
Remark 3.7. In [OT] it is proved that if $E_k$ is a special symplectic instanton bundle on $\mathbb{P}^5$ with $c_2 = k$ then $h^1(\mathrm{End},E_k) = 20k - 3$.
In the following table we summarize what we know about the component $M_0(k) \subset \mathrm{MI}_{\mathbb{P}^5}(k)$ containing $E_k$.
