A Geometrical View of Ulrich Vector Bundles

Abstract: We study geometrical properties of an Ulrich vector bundle

E

of rank

r

on a smooth

n

-dimensional variety

X s u b s e t e q m a t h b b P^{N}

. We characterize ampleness of

E

and of

d e t E

in terms of the restriction to lines contained in

X

. We prove that all fibers of the map

P h i_{E} : X o m a t h b b G (r - 1, m a t h b b P H^{0} (E))

are linear spaces, as well as the projection on

X

of all fibers of the map

v a r p h i_{E} : m a t h b b P (E) o m a t h b b P H^{0} (E)

. Then we get a number of consequences: a characterization of bigness of

E

and of

d e t E

in terms of the maps

P h i_{E}

and

v a r p h i_{E}

; when

d e t E

is big and

E

is not big there are infinitely many linear spaces in

X

through any point of

X

; when

d e t E

is not big, the fibers of

P h i_{E}

and

v a r p h i_{E}

have the same dimension; a classification of Ulrich vector bundles whose determinant has numerical dimension at most

f r a c n 2

; a classification of Ulrich vector bundles with

d e t E

of numerical dimension at most

k

on a linear

m a t h b b P^{k}

-bundle.
