Projective manifolds whose tangent bundle is Ulrich

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article, we give numerical restrictions on the Chern classes of Ulrich bundles on higher-dimensional manifolds, which are inspired by the results of Casnati in the case of surfaces. As a by-product, we prove that the only projective manifolds whose tangent bundle is Ulrich are the twisted cubic and the Veronese surface. Moreover, we prove that the cotangent bundle is never Ulrich.


Consider a vector bundle \(\mathcal{E}\) defined on a polarized variety denoted as \((X, H)\). The vector bundle \(\mathcal{E}\) is termed Ulrich if, for all values of \(j\) ranging from 1 to the dimension of \(X\), and for all values of \(i\), the cohomology groups \(\mathrm{H}^i(X, \mathcal{E}(-jH))\) vanish. In the context of this article, the authors investigate the problem of characterizing polarized varieties for which either the tangent bundle or the cotangent bundle possesses the Ulrich property. They establish that the sole polarized varieties for which the tangent bundle exhibits the Ulrich property are the twisted cubic and the Veronese surface. Additionally, the authors prove that the cotangent bundle never satisfies the Ulrich condition. To arrive at these conclusions, they employ a meticulous analysis, using the positivity properties of Ulrich vector bundles and breaking down the problem by considering various cases based on the dimension of the polarized variety.
