Moduli schemes of generically simple Azumaya modules

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let A be an Azumaya algebra over a smooth projective variety X or more generally, a torsion free coherent sheaf of algebras over X whose generic fiber is a central simple algebra. We show that generically simple torsion free A-module sheaves have a projective coarse moduli scheme; it is smooth and even symplectic if X is an abelian or K3 surface and A is Azumaya. We explain a relation to the classical theory of the Brandt groupoid.


Let \(A\) be an Azumaya algebra over a smooth projective variety \(X\) or more generally, a torsion free coherent sheaf of algebras over \(X\) whose generic fiber is a central simple algebra. The authors show that generically simple torsion free \(A\)-module sheaves have a projective coarse moduli scheme; it is smooth and even symplectic if \(X\) is an abelian or \(K3\) surface and \(A\) is Azumaya. The relation to the classical theory of Brandt groupoid is explained.
