Rank 2 indecomposable arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay bundles
on a nonsingular cubic surface
X in
are classified, by means of the possible forms taken by the minimal graded free resolution of
over
. The admissible values of the Chern classes of
are listed and the vanishing locus of a general section of
is studied.
Properties of such as slope (semi)stability and simplicity are investigated; the number of relevant families is computed together with their dimension.
