In this paper we show that $p \\leq 4$, by constructing series of positive dimensional families of rank 4 vector bundles on $X$ without intermediate cohomology. The general member of such family is an indecomposable bundle from the extension class $Ext^1(E,F)$, for a suitable choice of the rank 2 ACM bundles $E$ and $F$ on $X$. The existence of such bundles of rank $p = 3$ remains under question.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2005-05-02T08:51:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14F05" ], "keywords": [ "vector bundles", "intermediate cohomology", "positive dimensional family", "general quintic threefold", "minimum integer" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001math.....10259M" } } }
