On equivariant principal bundles over wonderful compactifications

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of adjoint type over $\mathbb C$, and let $M$ be the wonderful compactification of a symmetric space $G/H$. Take a $\widetilde G$--equivariant principal $R$--bundle $E$ on $M$, where $R$ is a complex reductive algebraic group and $\widetilde G$ is the universal cover of $G$. If the action of the isotropy group $\widetilde H$ on the fiber of $E$ at the identity coset is irreducible, then we prove that $E$ is polystable with respect to any polarization on $M$. Further, for wonderful compactification of the quotient of $\text{PSL}(n,{\mathbb C})$, $n\,\neq\, 4$ (respectively, $\text{PSL}(2n,{\mathbb C})$, $n \geq 2$) by the normalizer of the projective orthogonal group (respectively, the projective symplectic group), we prove that the tangent bundle is stable with respect to any polarization on the wonderful compactification.

A degeneration of moduli of Hitchin pairs

We construct a degeneration of the moduli space of Hitchin pairs on smooth projective curves when the curve degenerates to an irreducible curve with a single node. The degeneration constructed here is analogous to the models constructed by Gieseker and Nagaraj-Seshadri for the case of the usual moduli spaces (i.e when the Higgs structure is trivial). There is an canonical relative Hitchin map which is shown to be proper and the general fibre of the relative Hitchin map provides a new compactification of the Picard variety of smooth curves with normal crossing singularities.

Reconstructing vector bundles on curves from their direct image on symmetric powers

Let $C$ be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve, and let $E$ be an algebraic vector bundle of rank $r$ on $C$. Associated to $E$, there are vector bundles ${\mathcal F}_n(E)$ of rank $nr$ on $S^n(C)$, where $S^n(C)$ is $ $n$-th symmetric power of $C$. We prove the following: Let $E_1$ and $E_2$ be two semistable vector bundles on $C$, with ${\rm genus}(C)\, \geq\, 2$. If ${\mathcal F}_n(E_1)\,= \, {\mathcal F}_n(E_2)$ for a fixed $n$, then $E_1 \,=\, E_2$.

Morphisms from P2 to Gr(2,C4)

In this note we study morphisms from P2 to Gr(2,C4) from the point of view of the cohomology class they represent in the Grassmannian. This leads to some new result about projection of d-uple imbedding of P2 to P5.

Universal Families on moduli spaces of principal bundles on curves

Let $H$ be a connected semisimple linear algebraic group defined over $\mathbb C$ and $X$ a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least three. Let ${\mathcal M}'_X(H)$ be the moduli space parametrising all topologically trivial stable principal $H$-bundles over $X$ whose automorphism group coincides with the centre of $H$. It is a Zariski open dense subset of the moduli space of stable principal $H$-bundles. We prove that there is a universal principal $H$-bundle over $X\times {\mathcal M}'_X(H)$ if and only if $H$ is an adjoint group (that is, the centre of $H$ is trivial).
