EXISTENCE OF COHERENT SYSTEMS II

Abstract

A coherent system of type (r, d, k) on a curve consists of a vector bundle of rank r and degree d together with a vector space of dimension k of the sections of this vector bundle. There is a stability condition depending on a positive real parameter α that allows to construct moduli spaces for these objects. This paper shows non-emptiness of these moduli spaces when k > r for any α under some mild conditions on the degree and genus.
