Rank two bundles with canonical determinant and four sections (Q2516001): Difference between revisions

For \(C\) a smooth irreducible complex projective curve of genus \(g\), the authors study the moduli space of (semi)stable vector bundles of rank r and degree \(d\) on \(C\). More precisely they consider the Brill-Noether locus \(B^k(r,d)\) parametrizing classes of vector bundles having at least k linearly independent sections. \textit{I. Grzegorczyk} and \textit{M. Teixidor i Bigas} [Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 359, 29--50 (2009; Zbl 1187.14038)] Let \(B(2, K)\) be the scheme which parametrizes classes of (semi)stable rank-two vector bundles \(E\) with \(\text{det}(E) = K\). The authors prove the existence of irreducible components of \(B^k(2, K)\) for \(C\) a general curve of genus g greater than 3, and for k at most 3. In addition, for a general curve of genus g at least 5 they prove the existence of irreducible components in \(B^4(2,K)\) following the approach in [\textit{C. Ciliberto} and \textit{F. Flamini}, ``Extensions of line bundles and Brill-Noether loci of rank-two vector bundles on a general curve'', \url{arXiv:1312.6239}].
