Is there an algebraic construction of the Quillen (determinant) Line Bundle?

Let's consider the moduli space of representations of $\pi=\pi_1(\Sigma)$ (a surface group) into $G$ (a lie group). Call this $X=\operatorname{Hom}(\pi,G)$, and let $Y=\operatorname{Hom}(\pi,G)/\\!/G$...

Is a torsion free sheave of rank one on a reducible curve the pushforward of a line bundle on a normalization?

Let $X$ be a nodal curve, possibly reducible. Then can any torsion free sheaf of rank one on $X$ be expressed as $\pi_*(L)$, where $L$ is a line bundle on a partial normalization of $X$? This looks ...

Pullback along the Torelli map is an isomorphism

I've been told many times that the Torelli map $J:\mathcal{M}_g\to \mathcal{A}_g$ for ($g\geq 2$, and at least on the level of coarse moduli spaces, over $\mathbb{C}$) gives an isomorphism of Picard ...

Isomorphism classes of line bundles with connections

Isomorphism classes of line bundles over a scheme $X$ are described by the Picard group $Pic(X)$. Now there is a paper that describes the moduli space of line bundles with connections. This paper is ...

Determinant of the universal bundle

Let $M$ be the moduli space of semistable vector bundles of fixed determinant $L$ and rank $r$ over a smooth curve $X$. Assume that $gcd(r,deg(L))=1$. Let $\mathcal U$ be the universal bundle over $M\...

How can one check that two line bundles on $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ coincide?

Let $X$ be the Deligne-Mumford compactification of $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$. Suppose I have two (big) line bundles $L$ and $L'$ on $X$ and that I want to show that they are the same element of $Pic(X)$. Of ...

Semistable pure dimension one sheaves of rank 1 and degree 0 on a singular curve

We are working on a problem about semistable pure dimension one sheaves of rank $1$ and degree $0$ on a singular curve $C$ (for example, the Kodaira fiber of type $I_2$, i.e. $C=C_1\cup C_2$ where $...

Extension of a section of a line bundle on a family of curves to the central fibre

I will fix notation: $\Delta = \mathrm{Spec} R$ denotes a discrete valuation ring and $\Delta^*=\mathrm{Spec} K$ for $K=\mathrm{Frac}(R)$. Suppose we are given a curve $\pi:C\to \Delta$ and a line ...
