Irreducibility of Lagrangian Quot schemes over an algebraic curve
AbstractLet C be a complex projective smooth curve and W a symplectic vector bundle of rank 2n over C. The Lagrangian Quot scheme $$LQ_{-e}(W)$$ L Q - e ( W ) parameterizes subsheaves of rank n and degree $$-e$$ - e which are isotropic with respect to the symplectic form. We prove that $$LQ_{-e}(W)$$ L Q - e ( W ) is irreducible and generically smooth of the expected dimension for all large e, and that a generic element is saturated and stable.
