Automorphisms of moduli spaces of vector bundles over a curve

Abstract

Let X be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus g ≥ 4. Let M(r,Λ) be the moduli space of stable vector bundles E −→ X or rank r and fixed determinant Λ.We show that the automorphism group of M(r,Λ) is generated by automorphisms of the curve X, tensorization with suitable line bundles, and, in case r divides 2 deg(Λ), also dualization of vector bundles.
