Speaker: Emre Coskun (Western) Title: "The Fine Moduli Space of Representations of Clifford Algebras, Part 1" Room: MC108 Abstract: Given a fixed binary form f(u,v) of degree d over a field k, the associated Clifford algebra is the k-algebra Cf=k{u,v}/I, where I is the two-sided ideal generated by elements of the form (αu+βv)d−f(α,β) with α and β arbitrary elements in k. All representations of Cf have dimensions that are multiples of d, and occur in families. In this article we construct fine moduli spaces U=Uf,r for the rd-dimensional representations of Cf for each r≥2. Our construction starts with the projective curve C⊂P2k defined by the equation wd=f(u,v), and produces Uf,r as a quasiprojective variety in the moduli space M(r,dr) of stable vector bundles over C with rank r and degree dr=r(d+g−1), where g denotes the genus of C. | |
