Ulrich bundles on cubic fourfolds (Q2693159)

Summary: We show the existence of rank 6 Ulrich bundles on a smooth cubic fourfold. First, we construct a simple sheaf \(\mathcal{E}\) of rank 6 as an elementary modification of an ACM bundle of rank 6 on a smooth cubic fourfold. Such an \(\mathcal{E}\) appears as an extension of two Lehn-Lehn-Sorger-van Straten sheaves. Then we prove that a general deformation of \(\mathcal{E}(1)\) becomes Ulrich. In particular, this says that general cubic fourfolds have Ulrich complexity 6.
