The representation type of determinantal varieties
This work is entirely devoted to construct huge families of indecomposable arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (resp. Ulrich) sheaves E of arbitrary high rank on a general standard (resp. linear) determinantal scheme X\subset \PP^n of codimension c \ge 1, n-c \ge 1 and defined by the maximal minors of a t \times (t+c-1) homogeneous matrix A. The sheaves E are constructed as iterated extensions of sheaves of lower rank. As applications: (1) we prove that any general standard determinantal scheme X\subset \PP^n is of wild representation type provided the degrees of the entries of the matrix A satisfy some weak numerical assumptions; and (2) we determine values of t, n and n-c for which a linear standard determinantal scheme X\subset \PP^n is of wild representation type with respect to the much more restrictive category of its indecomposable Ulrich sheaves, i.e. X is of Ulrich wild representation type.
