A remark on Ulrich and ACM bundles

Algebraic Geometry 2020-12-07 v2

Abstract

I show that on any smooth, projective ordinary curve of genus at least two and a projective embedding, there is a natural example of a stable Ulrich bundle for this embedding: namely the sheaf BX1B^1_X of locally exact differentials twisted by \OX(1)\O_X(1) given by this embedding and in particular there exist ordinary varieties of any dimension which carry Ulrich bundles. In higher dimensions, assuming XX is Frobenius split variety I show that BX1B^1_X is an ACM bundle and if XX is also a Calabi-Yau variety and p>2p>2 then BX1B^1_X is not a direct sum of line bundles. In particular I show that BX1B^1_X is an ACM bundle on any ordinary Calabi-Yau variety. I also prove a characterization of projective varieties with trivial canonical bundle such that BX1B^1_X is ACM (for some projective embedding datum): all such varieties are Frobenius split (with trivial canonical bundle).
