Let $C$ be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve, and let $E$ be an algebraic vector bundle of rank $r$ on $C$. Associated to $E$, there are vector bundles ${\mathcal F}_n(E)$ of rank $nr$ on $S^n(C)$, where $S^n(C)$ is $ $n$-th…

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…

Stiefel-Whitney classes are invariants of the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold, represented as cohomology classes of the base manifold. These classes are essential in obstruction theory, embedding problems, and cobordism theory. In this…
