Abstract

It is proved that Ulrich modules exist for a large class of local rings of dimension two. This complements earlier work of the authors and Ziquan Zhuang that described complete intersection domains of dimension two that admit no Ulrich modules. As an application, it is proved that, for this class of rings, the length of a nonzero module of finite projective dimension is at least the multiplicity of the local ring.
