The representation type of determinantal varieties (Q2408724)

A \textit{standard determinantal ideal} is the ideal generated by the maximal minors of a \(t \times (t+c-1)\) homogeneous matrix with entries in \(R = K[x_0,\dots,x_n]\) where \(K\) is an algebraically closed field. The corresponding scheme is called a \textit{standard determinantal scheme} in \(\mathbb P^n\). We assume \(c \geq 1\) and \(n-c \geq 1\). A general problem is to try to understand the complexity of a variety \(X\) by understanding the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) sheaves or bundles that it supports. Among these bundles, another interesting problem is to find those for which its associated graded cohomology module has the maximal number of generators, which turns out to be \(\deg (X) \cdot \text{rk} (X)\). The first goal of the paper is to construct families of indecomposable ACM bundles of arbitrarily high rank and dimension on a standard determinantal scheme \(X\), and to conclude that \(X\) is of wild representation type provided the degree matrix associated to \(X\) satisfies certain weak numerical hypotheses. The second part of the paper focuses on standard determinantal schemes defined by matrices with linear entries, to determine values of \(t, n\) and \(c\) for which \(X\) is of wild representation type with respect to the much more restrictive category of its indecomposable \textit{Ulrich} sheaves. (Such \(X\) is said to have \textit{Ulrich wild representation type}.)
