Line bundles on the moduli space of parabolic connections over a compact Riemann surface (Q2136564)

The author studies some properties of the moduli space of parabolic connections over a Riemann surface. To list the main results of this paper, we first fix some notations according to the paper. Let \(X\) be a compact Riemann surface of genus \(g\geq 3\) with a finite set of punctures \(S=\{x_1,\dots,x_m\}\). Fix integers \(r\) and \(d\) with \(r>0\), let \(\alpha=\{\alpha_1^x,\cdots,\alpha_m^x\}_{x\in S}\) with each \(\alpha_i^x\in\mathbb{Q}\) and \(0\leq\alpha_1^x<\dots<\alpha_r^x<1\) be a generic system of weights so that \(\sum\limits_{x\in S}\sum\limits_{i=1}^r\alpha_i^x=-d\), and let \(\xi\) be a fixed line bundle of degree \(d\) over \(X\). Denote by \(\xi_*\) the induced trivial parabolic bundle with weight system \(\beta=\{\beta^x=\sum\limits_{i=1}^r\alpha_i^x\}_{x\in S}\). A parabolic bundle over \((X,S)\) of type \((r,d,\alpha)\) (resp. \((r,\alpha,\xi)\)) is a holomorphic vector bundle \(E\) of rank \(r\), degree \(d\) over \(X\) (resp. with determinant \(\xi\)), so that each fiber \(E_x\) at \(x\in S\) admits a full flag of decreasing linear subspaces and an attached weight system \(\alpha_x:=\{\alpha_1^x,\dots,\alpha_r^x\}\) to this flag. Let \(\mathcal{M}(r,d,\alpha)\) (resp. \(\mathcal{M}(r,\alpha,\xi)\)) be the moduli space of stable parabolic bundles over \((X,S)\) of type \((r,d,\alpha)\) (resp. of type \((r,\alpha,\xi)\)), and let \(\mathcal{M}_{pc}(r,d,\alpha)\) (resp. \(\mathcal{M}_{pc}(r,\alpha,\xi)\)) be the moduli space of stable parabolic connections of the corresponding type, which contains the moduli space \(\mathcal{M}'_{pc}(r,d,\alpha)\) (resp. \(\mathcal{M}_{pc}'(r,\alpha,\xi)\)) of parabolic connections so that the underlying parabolic bundles are stable as an open dense subset. The first result of this paper is the property on the Picard groups of the moduli spaces mentioned above, namely \(\mathrm{Pic}(\mathcal{M}_{pc}(r,d,\alpha))\cong\mathrm{Pic}(\mathcal{M}(r,d,\alpha))\). And there is a natural compactification of \(\mathcal{M}'_{pc}(r,d,\alpha)\) and \(\mathcal{M}_{pc}'(r,\alpha,\xi)\) by smooth divisors, the compatification comes from a construction of an algebraic vector bundle over these moduli spaces. Then the author studies the space of holomorphic connections \(\mathcal{C}(L)\) on an ample line bundle \(L\) over \(\mathcal{M}(r,d,\alpha)\), and showed \(\mathrm{Pic}(\mathcal{C}(L))\cong\mathrm{Pic}(\mathcal{M}(r,d,\alpha))\) and \(H^0(\mathcal{C}(L),\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{C}(L)})=\mathbb{C}\), namely there is no non-constant algebraic function on \(\mathcal{C}(L)\).
