Pfaffian quartic surfaces and representations of Clifford algebras
Documenta mathematica, Tome 17 (2012), pp. 1003-1028
Given a general ternary form f=f(x1,x2,x3) of degree 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we use the geometry of K3 surfaces and van den Bergh's correspondence between representations of the generalized Clifford algebra Cf associated to f and Ulrich bundles on the surface Xf:=w4=f(x1,x2,x3)⊆P3 to construct a positive-dimensional family of 8-dimensional irreducible representations of Cf. The main part of our construction, which is of independent interest, uses recent work of Aprodu-Farkas on Green's Conjecture together with a result of Basili on complete intersection curves in P3 to produce simple Ulrich bundles of rank 2 on a smooth quartic surface X⊆P3 with determinant OX(3). This implies that every smooth quartic surface in P3 is the zerolocus of a linear Pfaffian, strengthening a result of Beauville-Schreyer on general quartic surfaces.
