Göpel's orbital degeneracy-locus conjecture for the half-spin representation
Göpel's orbital degeneracy-locus conjecture for the half-spin representation
Let be the half-spin representation, let be the -dimensional quadric, and let be the associated spinor bundle. For the codimension- orbit closures in the fiber half-spin representation, define
Here is the quartic section associated with , and denotes the Kummer variety of the curve .
Göpel's orbital degeneracy-locus conjecture. Let be a general element of . Then:
- is the Kummer fourfold of a non-hyperelliptic genus-four curve with a vanishing theta null and a unique degree- map to ;
- consists of the -torsion points in the Kummer;
- is the moduli space of semistable rank- vector bundles on with trivial determinant;
- is the unique quartic singular along .
The conjecture proposes a detailed correspondence between orbital degeneracy loci of a general half-spin section and moduli spaces associated with a special genus-four curve. The supplied text gives no evidence that it has been solved or refuted.
