Abstract: We investigate the jumping conics of stable vector bundles E of rank 2 on a smooth quadric surface Q with the first Chern class c1=OoQ(−1,−1) with respect to the ample line bundle OoQ(1,1). We show that the set of jumping conics of E is a hypersurface of degree c2(E)−1 in PP3∗. Using these hypersurfaces, we describe moduli spaces of stable vector bundles of rank 2 on Q in the cases of lower c2(E).


Let \(Q\) be a smooth quadric in \(\mathbb{P}^3\), \(H\subset\mathbb{P}^3\) be a hyperplane and \(C_H=Q\cap H\) be the corresponding conic. Given a vector bundle \(E\) on \(Q\), a conic \(C_H=Q\cap H\) is called a jumping conic if the splitting type of the restriction \(E_{|C_H}\) is different from the generic splitting type. The set of jumping conics is denoted by \(S(E)\subset(\mathbb{P}^3)^*\). Let \(M(k)\) be the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank 2 on \(Q\) with Chern classes \(c_1=\mathcal{O}_Q(-1,-1)\) and \(c_2=k\) and \(E\) be a vector bundle in \(M(k)\). In the paper under review, the author proves that \(S(E)\) is a symmetric determinantal hypersurface in \((\mathbb{P}^3)^*\) of degree \(k-1\) and he studies its singularities. Moreover, using the jumping conics, the author is able to describe the geometry of the moduli spaces \(M(k)\) when \(k=2,3\).
