Independent parameters for special instanton bundles on \(\mathbb P^{2n+1}\) (Q644216)

Yang-Mills theory see [\textit{A. Douady} (ed.) and \textit{J.-L. Verdier} (ed.), Les équations de Yang-Mills. Seminaire E.N.S. 1977--1978. Asterisque. 71--72. Paris: Societe Mathematique de France (1980; Zbl 0457.14009)] has given rise to Mathematical instanton bundles which have been actively studied for decades. These are rank \(2n\) vector bundles on projective space of dimension \(2n+1\) which arise from certain special monads. \textit{A. Hirschowitz} and \textit{M. S. Narasimhan} introduced the notion of special instanton bundles (of rank 2) on \(\mathbb{P}^3\) [Prog. Math. 24, 143--164 (1982; Zbl 0503.14006)] which was later generalized to all odd dimensional projective spaces by \textit{H. Spindler} and \textit{G. Trautmann} [Math. Ann. 286, No. 1--3, 559--592 (1990; Zbl 0752.14014)]. Hirschowitz and Narasimhan had proved that the moduli space of their special instanton bundles is rational. Recently \textit{A. S. Tikhomirov} [``Moduli of mathematical instanton vector bundles with odd \(c_2\) on projective space'', \url{arXiv:1101.3016}] has shown that the moduli of all instanton bundles on \(\mathbb{P}^3\) is irreducible and \textit{D. Markushevich} and \textit{A. S. Tikhomirov} [``Rationality of instanton moduli'', \url{arXiv: 1012.4132}] have shown that these are rational. Spindler and Trautmann had shown that the moduli of special instanton bundles (fixing the quantum number \(k\)) are irreducible and smooth of dimension \(2n(k+1)+(2n+2)^2-7\). In the paper under review, the author proves that these moduli spaces are rational.
