We characterize the existence of an Ulrich vector bundle on a variety $X \subset P^N$ in terms of the existence of a subvariety satisfying some precise conditions. Then we use this fact to prove that a complete intersection of dimension $n…

We give an almost complete classification of Ulrich bundles $\mathcal E$ with $c_2(\mathcal E)^2=0$ on a variety $X$ of dimension $n \ge 4$. Moreover, we show that there are strong constraints on the geometry of $X$ and we study…

On any smooth $n$-dimensional variety we give a pretty precise picture of rank $r$ Ulrich vector bundles with numerical dimension at most $\frac{n}{2}+r-1$. Also, we classify non-big Ulrich vector bundles on quadrics and on the Del Pezzo…

We prove that on $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ there is no exceptional bundle with rank $r=2d^{2}+1$ and degree $d$ for every $|d|\geq 4$. In particular, we find a new obstruction for the existence of exceptional bundles other than $r|(2d^{2}+1)$. We…

We prove that on a general hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^N$ of degree $d$ and dimension at least $2$, if an arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) bundle $E$ and its dual have small regularity, then any non-trivial Hodge class in $H^{n}(X,…

Fixed a polarised variety $X$, we can ask if it admits Ulrich bundles and, in case, what is their minimal possible rank. In this thesis, after recalling general properties of Ulrich sheaves, we show that any finite covering of…

We generalize the results by Eisenbud and Schreyer about Ulrich bundles over Veronese varieties to Segre-Veronese varieties. We discuss the range where we have natural cohomology and we construct multigraded resolutions and monads for…

We prove the existence of Ulrich bundles on cyclic coverings of $\mathbb{P}^n$ of arbitrary degree $d$. Given a relatively Ulrich bundle on a complete intersection subvariety, we construct a relatively Ulrich bundle on the ambient variety.…

We prove that any surface with q=p_g=0 embedded by a sufficiently large linear system admits a rank 2 Ulrich bundle. In particular every Enriques surface admits a rank 2 Ulrich bundle.

We construct Ulrich bundles on Veronese threefolds of arbitrary degree as generic deformations of symmetric squares of equivariant instanton bundles on the projective space, thus classifying the rank of Ulrich bundles on such varieties and…

We give an almost complete classification of non-big Ulrich vector bundles on fourfolds. This allows to classify them in the case of Picard rank one fourfolds, of Mukai fourfolds and in the case of Del Pezzo $n$-folds for $n \le 4$. We also…

We establish the existence of rank two Ulrich vector bundles on surfaces that are either of maximal Albanese dimension or with irregularity 1, under many embeddings. In particular we get the first known examples of Ulrich vector bundles on…

We study varieties $X \subseteq \mathbb P^N$ of dimension $n$ such that $T_X(k)$ is an Ulrich vector bundle for some $k \in \mathbb Z$. First we give a sharp bound for $k$ in the case of curves. Then we show that $k \le n+1$ if $2 \le n \le…

In this paper, we prove the existence of an Enriques surface with a polarization of degree four with an Ulrich bundle of rank one. As a consequence, we prove that general polarized Enriques surfaces of degree four, with the same numerical…

Let $S$ be a surface with $p_g(S)=q(S)=0$ and endowed with a very ample line bundle $\mathcal O_S(h)$ such that $h^1\big(S,\mathcal O_S(h)\big)=0$. We show that $S$ supports special (often stable) Ulrich bundles of rank $2$, extending a…

We prove that every Ulrich bundle on the Veronese surface has a resolution in terms of twists of the trivial bundle over $\mathbb{P}^{2}$. Using this classification, we prove existence results for stable Ulrich bundles over $\mathbb{P}^{k}$…

In this paper we prove that, for every $r \geq 2$, the moduli space $M^s_X(r;c_1,c_2)$ of rank $r$ stable vector bundles with Chern classes $c_1=rH$ and $c_2=(3r^2-r)/2$ on a nonsingular cubic surface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^3$ contains a…

We prove that the Veronese embedding of P^n of degree d with n\ge 2, d\ge 3 does not satisfy property N_p (according to Green and Lazarsfeld) if p\ge 3d-2. We conjecture that the converse holds. This is true for n=2 and for n=d=3.

Let $X$ be a submanifold of dimension $n$ of the complex projective space $\mathbb P^N$ ($n<N$), and let $E$ be a vector bundle of rank two on $X$ . If $n\geq\frac{N+3}{2}\geq 4$ we prove a geometric criterion for the existence of an…
