Tangent bundles of Quot schemes of vector bundles on curves
Abstract
For a vector bundle E on a smooth projective curve C, one defines the Quot scheme Q:=Qd(E,C) parametrizing subsheaves of E having length d torsion quotients. We describe the indecomposable components of the tangent bundle TQ of Q, thus characterizing when TQ is indecomposable. We also characterize when TQ is simple; in fact, we completely describe the endomorphism rings of the indecomposable components of TQ. As an application, we determine when two products of such Quot schemes can be isomorphic.
