Arithmetically Cohen--Macaulay bundles on homogeneous varieties of Picard rank one

Abstract

In this paper, we study arithmetically Cohen--Macaulay (ACM) bundles on homogeneous varieties $G/P$. Indeed we characterize the homogeneous ACM bundles on $G/P$ of Picard rank one in terms of highest weights. This is a generalization of the result on $G/P$ of classical types presented by Costa and Mir\'{o}-Roig for type $A$, and Du, Fang, and Ren for types $B,C$ and $D$. As a consequence we prove that only finitely many irreducible homogeneous ACM bundles, up to twisting line bundles, exist over all such $G/P$. Moreover, we derive the list of the highest weights of the irreducible homogeneous ACM bundles on particular homogeneous varieties of exceptional types such as the Cayley Plane and the Freudenthal variety.
