Abstract: We construct a finite dimensional Kaehler manifold with a holomorphic, symplectic circle action whose symplectic reduced spaces may be identified with the tau-vortex moduli spaces (or tau-stable pairs). The Morse theory of the circle action induces natural birational maps between the reduced spaces for different values of tau which in the case of rank two bundles can be canonically resolved in a sequence of blow-ups and blow-downs.

Review text

Fix integers \(g,r\) and \(d\) with \(g \geq 2\), \(r \geq 2\), \(d > r(2g - 2)\). Let \(E\) be a rank \(r\) holomorphic vector bundle on the compact Riemann surface \(X\) of genus \(g\) with \(\deg (E) = d\), \(s \in H^0 (X,E)\) and \(\tau \in \mathbb{R}\). The pair \((E,s)\) is called \(\tau\)-stable (resp. \(\tau\)-semistable) if for every proper holomorphic subbundle \(F\) of \(E\) \(\deg (F)/ \text{rank} (F) < \tau\) (resp. \(\leq \tau)\) and \(\deg (E/F)/ \text{rank} (E/F) > \tau\) \(\text{(resp.} \geq \tau)\) if \(s \in H^0 (X,F)\). The authors study this notion when \(\tau\) varies, generalizing with different tools previous works of S. B. Bradlow, O. Garcia-Prada and M. Thaddeus. Main Theorem: There is a compact topological space \({\mathbf B}\) whose points corresponds to holomorphic pairs which are \(\tau\)-semistable for at least one \(\tau\) and an open subset \({\mathbf B}_0\) of \({\mathbf B}\) which has a natural structure of Kähler manifold and such that: (i) There is a quasi-free holomorphic and symplectic \(U(1)\)-action on \({\mathbf B}\), i.e. an action with stabilizers either trivial or the whole \(U(1)\); (ii) There is a moment map \(f : {\mathbf B}_0 \to \mathbb{R}\) for this \(U(1)\)-action which extends continuously to \({\mathbf B}\). The critical values of \(f\) are the rational numbers, \(\tau\), with denominators \(\leq r\) at which the notion of \(\tau\)-stability ``jumps; (iii) The level sets \(f^{-1} (\tau)\) are \(U(1)\)-invariants; at regular values the orbit spaces \(f^{-1} (\tau)/U(1)\) can be identified as Kähler manifolds with the moduli spaces \(B_\tau\) of \(\tau\)-stable bundles; at critical values the orbit spaces corresponds to the equivalence classes of semistable pairs. The authors describe how the moduli spaces \(B_\tau\) change with respect to \(\tau\) (all the \(B_\tau\)'s with \(\tau \in (d/r, d/(r - 1))\) are birational).
