Quot schemes, Segre invariants, and inflectional loci of scrolls over curves (Q2306058)

Let \(C\) be a smooth projective curve of genus \(g\) and let \(E\) be a vector bundle over \(C\). The Segre invariant, semistability and cohomological semistability for \(E\) are closely related and have been studied from different points of view for many years. The author consider \(S:=\mathbb{P}(E)\) the associated projective bundle and he describes the inflectional loci of projective models \(\psi: S\dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n\) in terms of Quot Scheme of \(E\). The author gives a characterization of the Segre invariant \(s_1(E)\) in terms of the osculating space and the inflectional locus. This allows to give an equivalence between the semistability of bundle \(E\) with slope \(\mu<1-2g \) and the osculating space. In the same direction, the author gives a natural characterization of cohomological stability of \(E\) via inflectional loci. Finally, he proved that for general \(S\), the inflectional loci are the expected dimension.
