Chapter 4Moduli spaces of <strong>Higgs</strong> <strong>bundles</strong>4.1 Some results for <strong>elliptic</strong> <strong>curves</strong>Let (A, a 0 ) be a commutative abelian group. If A is a quasiprojective variety and themultiplication map µ : A × A → A is a morphism, we can define the following morphismα A,h : Sym h A A(4.1)[a 1 , . . . , a h ] Sh ∑ hi=1 a i.Thanks to the group structure of A, the symmetric group S h acts on the (h−1)-th Cartesianproduct of A. Consider the following morphism between cartesian produtcs of Av A,h : A× h−1 . . . ×A A× . h . . ×A(4.2)(a 1 , . . . , a h−1 ) (a 1 , . . . , a h−1 , − ∑ h−1i=1 a i),and the projection on the first h − 1 factorsq A,h : A× . h . . ×A A× h−1 . . . ×A(a 1 , . . . , a h−1 , a h ) (a 1 , . . . , a h−1 ).The action of σ ∈ S h on the (h − 1)-tuple (a 1 , . . . , a h−1 ) ∈ A× h−1 . . . ×A is defined byNote that the morphismσ · (a 1 , . . . , a h−1 ) = q A,h (σ · (v A,h (a 1 , . . . , a h−1 ))). (4.3) u A,h : (A× h−1 . . . ×A) / S hker α A,h(4.4)[a 1 , . . . , a h−1 ] Sh [a 1 , . . . , a h−1 , − ∑ h−1i=1 a i] Sh50
is an isomorphism.Let us denote by A[h] the subgroup of h-torsion points of (A, a 0 ), i.e.A[h] = {a ∈ A such that a + . h . . + a = a 0 }.The abelian group (A, a 0 ) acts on Sym h A with weight m by the group operationa ′ · [a 1 , . . . , a h ] Sh = [m · a ′ + a 1 , . . . , m · a ′ + a h ] Sh . (4.5)If m divides h this action induces an action of the finite subgroup A[h] ⊂ A on Sym h A.Note that the action of A[h] preserves the fibres of the map α A,h , in particular its kernel.For any tuple of integers (m 1 , . . . , m l ), we can define a weighted (m 1 , . . . , m l )-actionof A on A× . l . . ×A. For every a ′ ∈ A we definea ′ · (a 1 , . . . , a l ) = (a 1 + m 1 a ′ , . . . , a l + m l a ′ ).Lemma 4.1.1. Let (m 1 , . . . , m l ) be a tuple of integers and let h be a positive integer. Writer for gcd(h, m 1 , . . . , m l ). The weighted (m 1 , . . . , m l )-action of A[h] is free if and only ifr = 1.Proof. Suppose we have a ′ ∈ X[h] such that a ′ · (a 0 , . . . , a 0 ) = (a 0 , . . . , a 0 ). Then m i a ′ =a 0 for every i. This implies that a ′ is a m i -torsion element for every i. On the other hand ifthere exists a ′ ∈ A[h] ∩ ⋂ i A[m i] different from a 0 , clearly we have that the (m 1 , . . . , m l )-weighted action of a ′ is trivial and therefore the action of A[h] is not free. We have seenthat the action is free if and only if the subgroup A[h] ∩ ⋂ i A[m i] is trivial.We can check that A[n 1 ]∩A[n 2 ] = A[r ′ ] where r ′ = gcd(n 1 , n 2 ). First note that A[r ′ ] ⊂A[n 1 ] ∩ A[n 2 ]. To see the other inclusion suppose we have a ′ ∈ A[a] ∩ A[b]. There alwaysexist two integers b 1 and b 2 such that b 1 n 1 + b 2 n 2 = r ′ . We have that r ′ a ′ = b 1 n 1 a ′ + b 2 n 2 a ′and since n 1 a ′ = a 0 and n 2 a ′ = a 0 we have r ′ a ′ = a 0 .It follows easily by induction that, if we set r = gcd(h, m 1 , . . . , m l ), we haveA[h] ∩ ⋂ iA[m i ] = A[r].Let us study the <strong>elliptic</strong> curve (X, x 0 ) as an abelian variety. We recall the exact sequence0 X[h] X f h X 0,where f h (x) = hx = x+ . h . . +x. Due to the isomorphism X/ ker f h∼ = Imfh we have˜f h : X / X[h]∼=−→ X. (4.6)This result leads us to the following description of the quotient by the weighted actionfor the case of <strong>elliptic</strong> <strong>curves</strong>.Lemma 4.1.2. Let (X, x 0 ) be an <strong>elliptic</strong> curve and consider the weighted (m 1 , . . . , m l )-action of X[h] on (X× . l . . ×X). Then we have an isomorphism of abelian varieties(X× . l . . ×X) / X[h] ∼ = X× . l . . ×X.51
