Equivariant Ulrich bundles on exceptional homogeneous varieties

We prove that the only rational homogeneous varieties with Picard number 1 of the exceptional algebraic groups admitting irreducible equivariant Ulrich vector bundles are the Cayley plane E 6/P 1 and the E 7-adjoint variety E 7/P 1. From this result,we see that a general hyperplane section F 4/P 4 of the Cayley plane also has an equivariant but non-irreducible Ulrich bundle.

Almost Homogeneous Varieties of Albanese Codimension One

We classify almost homogeneous normal varieties of Albanese codimension $1$, defined over an arbitrary field. We prove that such a variety has a unique normal equivariant completion. Over a perfect field, the group scheme of automorphisms of this completion is smooth, except in one case in characteristic $2$, and we determine its (reduced) neutral component.
