“An
overview of

Ulrich bundles”

by

EMRE
COŞKUN

Abstract: Ulrich bundles on a smooth projective variety are those
vector bundles whose push-forward to a projective linear space of the same dimension
as the base space is trivial. They appear in relation to representations of
generalized Clifford algebras and representations of hypersurfaces
as determinants or Pfaffians.  In this talk, we will define Ulrich
bundles, explore some of their basic properties, and discuss some recent
developments on the existence problem of stable Ulrich bundles on some
projective surfaces with prescribed rank and Chern
classes.
