Abstract

Let kk denote an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let XX denote a smooth elliptic curve over kk. Given a three-periodic elliptic helix E\underline{\mathcal{E}} of vector bundles over XX with endomorphism Z\mathbb{Z}-algebra EndE\operatorname{End} \underline{\mathcal{E}} and quadratic cover Snc(E)\mathbb{S}^{nc}(\underline{\mathcal{E}}), we prove that EndE\operatorname{End} \underline{\mathcal{E}} is the quotient of Snc(E)\mathbb{S}^{nc}(\underline{\mathcal{E}}) by a degree three family of normal elements, generalizing a result of the authors to the case in which dim(EndE)i,i+1\operatorname{dim }(\operatorname{End} \underline{\mathcal{E}})_{i, i+1} isn't a constant function of ii. We then show that EndE\operatorname{End} \underline{\mathcal{E}} is noetherian if and only if it has polynomial growth, and in this case, the ranks of any three consecutive bundles in the helix are a Markov triple. Furthermore, in this case Snc(E)\mathbb{S}^{nc}(\underline{\mathcal{E}}) is a noetherian GK-three Z\mathbb{Z}-algebra which is Proj{\sf Proj }-equivalent to an elliptic algebra. We conclude the paper by constructing several new families of elliptic helices with exponential growth.
