Compactified Jacobians of curves with spine decompositions (Q1018066): Difference between revisions

A curve, that is a connected, reduced, projective scheme of dimension 1 over an algebraically closed field, admits two types of compactifications of its generalized Jacobian: the moduli schemes of P-quasistable torsion-free, rank-1 sheaves and Seshadri's moduli schemes of S-equivalence classes of semistable torsion-free, rank-1 sheaves. Both are constructed with respect to a choice of polarization. The former are fine moduli spaces which were shown to be complete; here we show that they are actually projective. The latter are just coarse moduli spaces. Theorem 4.4, the main result of the paper, gives a sufficient condition under which these two types of moduli spaces are equal.
