Sunto

Si descrive lo spazio dei moduliM 1 (c 2) dei fibrati vettoriali di 't Hooft suP 3, cioè dei fibrati istantoni che ammettono una sezione lineare. Si dimostra che tale spazio è una varietà razionale il cui luogo singolare è costituito dai fibrati di 't Hooft speciali studiati in [HN]. Si trova, inoltre, una desingolarizzazione diM 1 (c 2) data da un aperto di un fibrato proiettivo sullo schema di Hilbert delle curve che sono luoghi degli zeri di sezioni lineari di fibrati di 't Hooft. Le componenti connesse di tali curve sono rette o rette multiple isomorfe a un prodotto. Questo risultato è conseguenza del fatto che ogni retta multiplaZ di genere aritmeticop a (Z)≤1—deg (Z) fibrata in punti multipli curvilinei è schematicamente isomorfa al multiplo di una sezione di una opportuna superficie rigata razionale.

Abstract

We describe the moduli spaceM 1 (c 2) of 't Hooft bundles onP 3, that is instanton bundles having sections at the first twist. We prove that such a moduli space is a rational variety whose singular locus is the moduli space of special 't Hooft bundles studied in [HN]. It turns out thatM 1 (c 2) possesses a canonical desingularization provided by the projectivized of a vector bundle on the Hilbert schemeH of the space curves which correspond to 't Hooft bundles in the Serre construction. Moreover, we show that the connected components of such curves are lines or multiple lines, which are scheme-theoretically a product. On such multiple lines every vector bundle splits, and we are able to determine their normal bundle. This allows to reprove the smoothness ofH, already known from [C], and the smoothness ofM 1, shown in [C] and [NT].
