Moduli spaces of Ulrich bundles on the Fano 3-fold \(V_5\) (Q1998951)

The concept of Ulrich bundle was inspired by researches in Commutative Algebra. The history of this notion is not the object of this review, but we note four papers that made the beginning: 1. [\textit{B. Ulrich}, Math. Z. 188, 23--32 (1984; Zbl 0573.13013)]. 2. [\textit{J. P. Brennan} et al., Math. Scand. 61, No. 2, 181--203 (1987; Zbl 0653.13015)]. 3. [\textit{A. Beauville}, Mich. Math. J. 48, 39--64 (2000; Zbl 1076.14534)]. 4. [\textit{D. Eisenbud} and \textit{F.-O. Schreyer}, J. Am. Math. Soc. 16, No. 3, 537--575, appendix 576--579 (2003; Zbl 1069.14019)]. A vector bundle \(E\) on a projective variety \(X \subset \mathbb{P}^n\) is called { \em Ulrich bundle} if \(E\), considered as an \({\mathcal O}_{{\mathbb P}^n}\) module, admits a linear resolution, or, equivalently, \(\mathrm{ H}^{\bullet} (E(-j))=0\) for \( j=1, \ldots , \dim X\). Nowadays there is an intense interest in the study of Ulrich bundles on projective varieties \((X, \mathcal{O}_X (1))\). This paper deals with the moduli spaces of Ulrich bundles on the (unique) Fano threefold \(V_5\) of Picard number \(1\), index \(2\) (i.e. \( \omega _{V_5} = \mathcal {O} _{V_5}(-2)\)), degree \(5\), where \(\mathcal{O}_{V_5} (1)\) is the minimal very ample line bundle on \(V_5\). Building on results of previous authors, which are mentioned in the paper, one proves that ``\ldots the moduli space of stable Ulrich vector bundles of rank \(r\) on \(V_5\) is isomorphic to a smooth open subset of the moduli space of stable quiver representations of the quiver \(\Gamma \) with dimension vector \((r,r)\).\ldots''. This is a partial quotation of the Theorem 1.1 in the \textbf{Introduction}, which is a less technical formulation of the {Theorem 3.10}. The paper ends with interesting questions and comments on connections to other recent studies.
