Degenerations of bundle moduli

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Over a family mathbbX of genus g complete curves, which gives the degeneration of a smooth curve into one with nodal singularities, we build a moduli space which is the moduli space of mSL(n,mathbbC) bundles over the generic smooth curve Xt in the family, and is a moduli space of bundles equipped with extra structure at the nodes for the nodal curves in the family. This moduli space is a quotient by (mathbbC)s of a moduli space on the desingularisation. Taking a "maximal" degeneration of the curve into a nodal curve built from the glueing of three-pointed spheres, we obtain a degeneration of the moduli space of bundles into a (mathbbC)(3g3)(n1)-quotient of a (2g2)-th power of a space associated to the three-pointed sphere. Via the Narasimhan-Seshadri theorem, the moduli of bundles on the smooth curve is a space of representations of the fundamental group into mSU(n) (the "symplectic picture"). We obtain the degenerations also in this symplectic context, in a way that is compatible with the holomorphic degeneration, so that our limit space is also a (S1)(3g3)(n1) symplectic quotient of a (2g2)-th power of a space associated to the three-pointed sphere.
