A conic bundle degenerating on the Kummer surface (Q957923)

For a projective curve \(C\) of genus \(2\), consider the space \(\text{SU}_C(2)\sim {\mathbb P}^3\) parameterizing semi--stable rank \(2\) bundles with trivial determinant over \(C\). These bundles arise as extensions of type \(0\to\omega^{-1}\to E\to \omega\to 0\), from the canonical bundle. The author studies the relations between the space \({\mathbb P}\text{Ext}^1(\omega,\omega^{-1})\sim{\mathbb P}^4\) and \(\text{SU}_C(2)\). Sending extensions to the corresponding bundles, one finds a natural rational map \(\phi:{\mathbb P}Ext^1(\omega,\omega^{-1}) \to \text{SU}_C(2)\). The author proves that \(\phi\) is a conic bundle, outside the point \(P\) which parameterizes \(\mathcal O\oplus\mathcal O\). The author describes the singular fibers of the bundle and solves the singularity of the map \(\phi\). Finally, the author determines a \({\mathbb P}^2\)-bundle \(\mathcal E\) over the blow up of \(\text{SU}_C(2)\) at \(P\), such that the conic bundle is a section of \(\mathcal E\).
