We show that the factorial and Q-factorial loci of algebraic varieties defined over an algebraically closed field are open, that products of locally factorial varieties are still locally factorial, and that this property remains true for Q-factorial varieties if the ground field is not the algebraic closure of a finite field.
Let $X$ be a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve, of genus at least three, defined over the field of real numbers. Let $G$ be a connected reductive affine algebraic group, defined over $\mathbb R$, such that $G$ is nonabelian and has one simple factor. We prove that the isomorphism class of the moduli space of principal $G$--bundles on $X$ determine uniquely the isomorphism class of $X$.
We show how quiver representations and their invariant theory natu- rally arise in the study of some moduli spaces parametrizing bundles dened on an algebraic curve, and how they lead to ne results regarding the geometry of these spaces.
We prove that the fourth powers of theta functions with even characteristics form a basis of the space of even theta functions of order four on a principally polarized Abelian variety without vanishing theta-null.
The aim of this note is to give a precise description of the local structure of the moduli space of rank 3 vector bundles over a curve of genus 2, which is in particular shown to be a local complete intersection. This allows us to investigate the local structure of the branch locus of the theta map, whose dual is known to be the Coble cubic in P^8.
We prove that the forgetful morphism from the moduli space of orthogonal bundles to the moduli space of vector bundles over a smooth curve is an embedding. Our proof relies on an explicit description of a set of generators for the invariants on the representation space of a quiver under the action of a product of classical groups.
