Projective Poincaré and Picard bundles for moduli spaces of vector bundles over nodal curves (Q2220326): Difference between revisions

The authors study vector bundles on the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank \(n\) with determinant \(L\) where \(L\) is a fixed line bundle of degree \(d\) over a nodal curve \(Y\), denoted by \(U^{'s}_L(n, d)\). The authors prove that the projective Picard bundle on \(U^{'s}_L(n, d)\), the projective Poincare bundle on \(Y \times U^{'s}_L (n, d)\), and the restriction of the projective Poincare bundle to \(\{x\} \times U^{'s}_L(n, d)\) where \(x\) is a smooth point are stable for suitable polarisation. Additionally, they prove that for arithmetic genus \(g \geq 3\) and for \(g = n = 2\), d odd, the Picard group of the moduli space \(U'_L(n, d)\) of semistable vector bundles of rank \(n\) with determinant \(L\) of degree \(d\) is isomorphic to \(\mathbb{Z}\). An important element of the proofs is the bounding of the codimension of various loci.
