Title: Ulrich subvarieties and non-existence of low rank Ulrich bundles on complete intersections
Abstract: We characterize the existence of an Ulrich vector bundle on a variety $X\subset{\bf P}^N$ in terms of the existence of a subvariety satisfying certain conditions. Then we use this fact to prove that $(X,\mathcal{O}_X(a))$ where $X$ is a complete intersection of dimension $n\geq 4$, which if n = 4, is either ${\bf P}^4$ with $a\geq 2$, or very general with $a\geq 1$ and not of type (2), (2, 2), does not carry any Ulrich bundles of rank $r\leq 3$. Work in collaboration with A.F. Lopez.

The seminar of Dipendra Prasad on Algebraic groups will continue on Friday

at 4:00 pm in Room # 105. We turn to classification of nilpotent elements in a 

Semi-simple Lie algebra, called the Bala-Carter theory, following the book 

of Collingwood and McGovern.
