Let C be an algebraic curve of genus g ≥ 2. A coherent system on C consists of a pair (E,V), where E is an algebraic vector bundle over C of rank n and degree d and V is a subspace of dimension k of the space of sections of E. The stability of the coherent system depends on a parameter α. We study the geometry of the moduli space of coherent systems for different values of α when k ≤ n and the variation of the moduli spaces when we vary α. As a consequence, for sufficiently large α, we compute the Picard groups and the first and second homotopy groups of the moduli spaces of coherent systems in almost all cases, describe the moduli space for the case k = n - 1 explicitly, and give the Poincaré polynomials for the case k = n - 2. In an appendix, we describe the geometry of the "flips" which take place at critical values of α in the simplest case, and include a proof of the existence of universal families of coherent systems when GCD (n,d,k) = 1.

Over the past 20 years, a great deal of work has been done on the moduli spaces of coherent systems on algebraic curves. Until recently, however, there has been very little work on the fixed determinant case, except for the special case of rank 2 and canonical determinant. This situation has changed due to two papers of Osserman, who has obtained lower bounds for the dimensions of the fixed determinant moduli spaces in some cases. Our object in this paper is to show that some of Osserman's bounds are sharp.

Let C be an algebraic smooth complex curve of genus g > 1. The object of this paper is the study of the birational structure of certain moduli spaces of vector bundles and of coherent systems on C and the comparison of different type of notions of stability arising in moduli theory. Notably we show that in certain cases these moduli spaces are birationally equivalent to fibrations over simple projective varieties, whose fibers are GIT quotients (ℙr-1)rg// PGL (r), where r is the rank of the considered vector bundles. This allows us to compare different definitions of (semi-)stability (slope stability, α-stability, GIT stability) for vector bundles, coherent systems and point sets, and derive relations between them. In certain cases of vector bundles of low rank when C has small genus, our construction produces families of classical modular varieties contained in the Coble hypersurfaces.

Let X be a general smooth projective algebraic curve of genus g ≥ 2 over ℂ. We prove that the moduli space G(α:n,d,k) of α-stable coherent systems of type (n,d,k) over X is empty if k > n and the Brill–Noether number β := β(n,d,n + 1) = β(1,d,n + 1) = g - (n + 1)(n - d + g) < 0. Moreover, if 0 ≤ β < g or β = g, n ∤g and for some α > 0, G(α : n,d,k) ≠ ∅ then G(α : n,d,k) ≠ ∅ for all α > 0 and G(α : n,d,k) = G(α′ : n,d,k) for all α,α′ > 0 and the generic element is generated. In particular, G(α : n,d,n + 1) ≠ ∅ if 0 ≤ β ≤ g and α > 0. Moreover, if β > 0 G(α : n,d,n + 1) is smooth and irreducible of dimension β(1,d,n + 1). We define a dual span of a generically generated coherent system. We assume d < g + n1≤ g + n2and prove that for all α > 0, G(α : n1,d, n1+ n2) ≠ ∅ if and only if G(α : n2,d, n1+ n2) ≠ ∅. For g = 2, we describe G(α : 2,d,k) for k > n.

The Bergman tau functions are applied to the study of the Picard group of moduli spaces of quadratic differentials with at most n simple poles on genus g complex algebraic curves. This generalizes our previous results on moduli spaces of holomorphic quadratic differentials.

We show that the moduli spaces of irreducible labeled parametrized marked rational curves in toric varieties can be embedded into algebraic tori such that their tropicalizations are the analogous tropical moduli spaces. These embeddings are shown to respect the evaluation morphisms in the sense that evaluation commutes with tropicalization. With this particular setting in mind, we prove a general correspondence theorem for enumerative problems which are defined via “evaluation maps” in both the algebraic and tropical world. Applying this to our motivational example, we show that the tropicalizations of the curves in a given toric variety which intersect the boundary divisors in their interior and with prescribed multiplicities, and pass through an appropriate number of generic points are precisely the tropical curves in the corresponding tropical toric variety satisfying the analogous condition. Moreover, the intersection-theoretically defined multiplicities of the tropical curves are equal to the numbers of algebraic curves tropicalizing to them.

Let ℳg be the coarse moduli scheme of curves of genus g. For an algebraically closed field k define is a quasiprojective algebraic variety over k, its dimension being 3g – 3 for g ≥ 2, 1 for g = 1, and 0 for g = 0. It can be considered as the moduli variety for the classes of birationally equivalent curves of genus g over k. For 0 < g, g′ and n ≥ 1 let be the subset of those points of whose corresponding curves possess a rational map of degree n into a curve of genus g′ over k.

A coherent system of type (r, d, k) on a curve consists of a vector bundle of rank r and degree d together with a vector space of dimension k of the sections of this vector bundle. There is a stability condition depending on a positive real parameter α that allows to construct moduli spaces for these objects. This paper shows non-emptiness of these moduli spaces when k > r for any α under some mild conditions on the degree and genus.
