AbstractWe investigate the moduli space of sheaves supported on space curves of degree and having Euler characteristic 1. We give an elementary proof of the fact that this moduli space consists of three irreducible components.

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.

We prove the compactness of the Whittaker sublocus of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces (complex algebraic curves). This is the subset of points representing hyperelliptic curves that satisfy Whittaker's conjecture on the uniformization of hyperelliptic curves via the monodromy of Fuchsian differential equations. In the last part of the paper we devote our attention to the statement made by R. A. Rankin more than 40 years ago, to the effect that the conjecture ‘has not been proved for any algebraic equation containing irremovable arbitrary constants’. We combine our compactness result with other facts about Teichmüller theory to show that, in the most natural interpretations of this statement we can think of, this result is, in fact, impossible.

A Riemann surface X of genus g > 2 is elliptic-hyperelliptic if it admits a conformal involution h such that the orbit space X/〈h〉 has genus one. This elliptic-hyperelliptic involution h is unique for g > 5 [1]. In a previous article [3], we established the non-connectedness of the subspace [Formula: see text] of real elliptic-hyperelliptic algebraic curves in the moduli space [Formula: see text] of Riemann surfaces of genus g, when g is even and > 5. In this paper we improve this result and give a complete answer to the connectedness problem of the space [Formula: see text] of real elliptic-hyperelliptic surfaces of genus > 5: we show that [Formula: see text] is connected if g is odd and has exactly two connected components if g is even; in both cases the closure [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] in the compactified moduli space [Formula: see text] is connected.

AbstractIn this paper we study the supersingular locus of the reduction modulopof the Shimura variety for GU(1,s) in the case of an inert primep. Using Dieudonné theory we define a stratification of the corresponding moduli space ofp-divisible groups. We describe the incidence relation of this stratification in terms of the Bruhat–Tits building of a unitary group.In the case of GU(1, 2), we show that the supersingular locus is equidimensional of dimension 1 and is of complete intersection. We give an explicit description of the irreducible components and their intersection behaviour.

AbstractIn [5], Eklund showed that a general (ℤ/2ℤ)4 -invariant quartic K3 surface contains at least 320 conics. In this paper, we analyse the field of definition of those conics as well as their Monodromy group. As a result, we prove that the moduli space of (ℤ/2ℤ)4-invariant quartic K3 surface with a certain marked conic has 10 irreducible components.

Let C be a smooth projective complex curve of genus g≥2 and let M be the moduli space of rank 2, stable vector bundles on C, with fixed determinant of degree 1. For any k≥1, we find all the irreducible components of the space of rational curves on M, of degree k. In particular, we find the maximal rationally connected fibrations of these components. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between moduli spaces of rational curves on M and moduli spaces of rank 2 vector bundles on ℙ1×C.
