Abstract: We give a method to construct stable vector bundles whose rank divides the degree over curves of genus bigger than one. The method complements the one given by Newstead. Finally, we make some systematic remarks and observations in connection with rationality of moduli spaces of stable vector bundles.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a non-singular projective curve of genus \(g\geq 2\) over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Let \(n\geq 2\), \(d\) and \(r\) be natural numbers such that \(d=n(g-1)+r\), \(0<r\leq n\), \(L\) a line bundle of degree \(d\) on \(X\) and \(M(n,L)\) the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank \(n\) and determinant \(L\) on \(X\). \textit{I. Grzegorczyk} [Math. Ann. 300, No. 3, 521-541 (1994; Zbl 0808.14021)] proved the following conjecture of Newstead: If \(0 < r< n\) then a general \(F\) in \(M(n,L)\) has \(H^1(F)=0\), contains the trivial bundle of rank \(r\) as a subbundle and the quotient bundle is stable. -- In the present paper, the authors consider the remaining case \(r=n\), i.e., \(d=ng\). They show that if \(L={\mathcal O}_X(P_0)\), where \(P_0\) is a suitable effective divisor of degree \(d\) on \(X\), then a general \(V\) in \(M(n,L)\) has \(H^1(V)=0\) and \(V^*\) can be obtained from the trivial bundle of rank \(n\) by an elementary transformation based at points \(p_1,\dots,p_d\) in \(X\) such that \(p_1+\cdots +p_d\in| P_0|\). The authors use this result to further investigate the rationality of the moduli spaces \(M(n,L)\), an investigation initiated by \textit{P. E. Newstead} [Math. Ann. 215, 251-268 (1975; Zbl 0288.14003) and 249, 281-282 (1980; Zbl 0455.14003)].
