The compactified Picard scheme of the compactified Jacobian (Q2577005): Difference between revisions

Let \(J\) be the generalized Jacobian of an integral projective curve \(C\) over an algebraically closed field, and let \(\overline J\) its compactification parametrizing torsion-free sheaves of rank 1 and degree 0 on \(C\). Suppose that \(C\) has at worst double points as singularities and is of positive genus, for a fixed line bundle \({\mathcal L}\) of degree 1, the Abel map \(A_{{\mathcal L}}: C\to\overline J\) is a closed embedding. In a previous paper jointly with \textit{M. Cagné} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 65, No. 3, 591--610 (2002; Zbl 1060.14045)] the authors proved that the pullback map \(A^*_{{\mathcal L}}: \text{Pic}^0_{\overline J}\to J\) is an isomorphism which is independent of \({\mathcal L}\). The closure of \(\text{Pic}^0_{\overline J}\) in the moduli space of torsion-free sheaves of rank 1 on \(\overline J\) is a natural compactification. The main result of the paper under review is Theorem 4.1. Let \(C/S\) be a flat projective family of integral curves with at worst ordinary nodes and cusps, then the extended map \(A^*_{{\mathcal L}}\) is an isomorphism.
