We study the rational Chow motives of certain moduli spaces of vector bundles on a smooth projective curve with additional structure (such as a parabolic structure or Higgs field). In the parabolic case, these moduli spaces depend on a choice of stability condition given by weights; our approach is to use explicit descriptions of variation of this stability condition in terms of simple birational transformations (standard flips/flops and Mukai flops) for which we understand the variation of the Chow motives. For moduli spaces of parabolic vector bundles, we describe the change in motive under wall-crossings, and for moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles, we show the motive does not change under wall-crossings. Furthermore, we prove a motivic analogue of a classical theorem of Harder and Narasimhan relating the rational cohomology of moduli spaces of vector bundles with and without fixed determinant. For rank 2 vector bundles of odd degree, we obtain formulas for the rational Chow motives of moduli spaces of semistable vector bundles, moduli spaces of Higgs bundles and moduli spaces of parabolic (Higgs) bundles that are semistable with respect to a generic weight (all with and without fixed determinant).
We prove formulas for the rational Chow motives of moduli spaces of semistable vector bundles and Higgs bundles of rank 3 and coprime degree on a smooth projective curve. Our approach involves identifying criteria to lift identities in (a completion of) the Grothendieck group of effective Chow motives to isomorphisms in the category of Chow motives. For the Higgs moduli space, we use motivic Bialynicki-Birula decompositions associated to a scaling action with variation of stability and wall-crossing for moduli spaces of rank 2 pairs, which occur in the fixed locus of this action.
It is a longstanding problem in Algebraic Geometry to determine whether the syzygy bundle $E_{d_1,...,d_n}$ on $mathbb{P}^N$ defined as the kernel of a general epimorphism [phi:mathcal{O}(-d_1)oplus...oplusmathcal{O}(-d_n) tomathcal{O}] is (semi)stable. In this thesis, attention is restricted to the case of syzygy bundles $mathrm{Syz}(f_1,...,f_n)$ on $mathbb{P}^N$ associated to $n$ generic forms $f_1,...,f_nin K[X_0,...,X_N]$ of the same degree $d$, for ${Nge2}$. The first goal is to prove that $mathrm{Syz}(f_1,...,f_n)$ is stable if [N+1le nletbinom{d+N}{N},] except for the case ${(N,n,d)=(2,5,2)}$. The second is to study moduli spaces of stable rank ${n-1}$ vector bundles on $mathbb{P}^N$ containing syzygy bundles. In a joint work with Laura Costa and Rosa Mar{i}a Miro-Roig, we prove that $N$, $d$ and $n$ are as above, then the syzygy bundle $mathrm{Syz}(f_1,...,f_n)$ is unobstructed and it belongs to a generically smooth irreducible component of dimension ${ntbinom{d+N}{N}-n^2}$, if ${Nge3}$, and ${ntbinom{d+2}{2}+ntbinom{d-1}{2}-n^2}$, if ${N=2}$. The results in chapter 3, for $Nge3$, were obtained independently by Iustin Coandu{a} in arXiv:0909.4435.
We take another approach to Hitchins strategy of computing the cohomology of moduli spaces of Higgs bundles by localization with respect to the circle-action. Our computation is done in the dimensional completion of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and starts by describing the classes of moduli stacks of chains rather than their coarse moduli spaces. As an application we show that the n-torsion of the Jacobian acts trivially on the middle dimensional cohomology of the moduli space of twisted SL_n-Higgs-bundles of degree coprime to n and we give an explicit formula for the motive of the moduli space of Higgs bundles of rank 4 and odd degree. This provides new evidence for a conjecture of Hausel and Rodriguez-Villegas. Along the way we find explicit recursion formulas for the motives of several types of moduli spaces of stable chains.
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g geq 2$ and $M$ be the moduli space of rank 2 stable vector bundles on $X$ whose determinants are isomorphic to a fixed odd degree line bundle $L$. There has been a lot of works studying the moduli and recently the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on $M$ draws lots of attentions. It was proved that the derived category of $X$ can be embedded into the derived category of $M$ by the second named author and Fonarev-Kuznetsov. In this paper we prove that the derived category of the second symmetric product of $X$ can be embedded into derived category of $M$ when $X$ is non-hyperelliptic and $g geq 16$.
Let $C$ be an algebraic curve of genus $g$ and $L$ a line bundle over $C$. Let $mathcal{MS}_C(n,L)$ and $mathcal{MO}_C(n,L)$ be the moduli spaces of $L$-valued symplectic and orthogonal bundles respectively, over $C$ of rank $n$. We construct rational curves on these moduli spaces which generalize Hecke curves on the moduli space of vector bundles. As a main result, we show that these Hecke type curves have the minimal degree among the rational curves passing through a general point of the moduli spaces. As its byproducts, we show the non-abelian Torelli theorem and compute the automorphism group of moduli spaces.
