RT Journal Article T1 Moduli spaces of coherent systems of small slope on algebraic curves. A1 Bradlow, S.B. A1 García Prada, O. A1 Mercat, V. A1 Muñoz, Vicente AB Let C be an algebraic curve of genus g ≥ 2. A coherent system on C consists of a pair (E, V ), where E is an algebraic vector bundle over C of rank n and degree d and V is a subspace of dimension k of the space of sections of E. The stability of the coherent system depends on a parameter α. We study the geometry of the moduli space of coherent systems for 0 < d ≤ 2n. We show that these spacesare irreducible whenever they are non-empty and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for non-emptiness.
