Abstract. One classifies the globally generated vector bundles on P n whith the first Chern class c 1 = 3 (in this paper n = 3, the case n = 3 being studied in [18]). The case c 1 = 1 is very easy, the case c 1 = 2 was done in [28], the case c 1 = 3, rank= 2 was settled in [13] and the case c 1 ≤ 5, rank=2 in [6]. Our work is based on Serre's theorem relating vector bundles of rank = 2 with codimension 2 lci subschemes and its generalization for higher ranks, considered firstly by Vogelaar in [33].
