The representation type of a projective variety

In my talk, I will construct families of non-isomorphic Arithmetically Cohen Macaulay (ACM) sheaves (i.e., sheaves without intermediate cohomology) on projective varieties. Since the seminal result by Horrocks characterizing ACM bundles on $\mathbb{P}^n$ as those that split into a sum of line bundles, an important amount of research has been devoted to the study of ACM sheaves on a given variety.

ACM sheaves also provide a criterium to determine the complexity of the underlying variety. More concretely, this complexity can be studied in terms of the dimension and number of families of indecomposable ACM sheaves that it supports, namely its \emph{representation type}. Along this line, a variety that admits only a finite number of indecomposable ACM sheaves (up to twist and isomorphism) is called of \emph{finite representation type}. These varieties are completely classified: They are either three or less reduced points in $\mathbb{P}^2$, a projective space $\mathbb{P}_k^n$, a smooth quadric hypersurface $X\subset\mathbb{P}^n$, a cubic scroll in $\mathbb{P}_k^4$, the Veronese surface in $\mathbb{P}_k^5$ or a rational normal curve.

On the other extreme of complexity, we would find the varieties of \emph{wild representation type}, namely, varieties for which there exist $r$-dimensional families of non-isomorphic indecomposable ACM sheaves for arbitrary large $r$. In the case of dimension one, it is known that curves of wild representation type are exactly those of genus larger or equal than two. In dimension greater or equal than two few examples are known ans in may talk, I will give a brief account of the known results.
