Introduction Derived category K3 categories Motivations Vector bundles are classified by using numerical invariants, like the rank or the degree. Theorem (Grothendieck) Over P 1 C vector bundles are direct sums of line bundles. Consider vector bundles with some fixed numerical invariants as points of an algebraic space. Problem Is there a moduli space parametrizing vector bundles on X with fixed numerical invariants having the structure of a smooth projective variety? A notion of stability is required!

Introduction Derived category K3 categories Stability Assume dim ( X ) = 1, i.e. X is a curve. For example, X is the planar curve x 3 0 + x 3 1 + x 3 2 = 0 in P 2 C .

Introduction Derived category K3 categories Moduli spaces Theorem (Mumford) If X is a smooth projective curve of genus g ≥ 2 , for every pair ( r , d ) ∈ N ∗ × Z , there is a projective variety M ( r , d ) parametrizing semistable vector bundles of rank r and degree d on X . Moreover, the open subset M s ( r , d ) ⊂ M ( r , d ) of stable bundles is non-empty and smooth. Theorem (Atiyah) Case of vector bundles over curves of genus 1 .
