Faltings’ Construction of the Moduli Space of Vector Bundles on a Smooth Projective Curve

Abstract

In 1993 Faltings gave a construction of the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective curve X over an algebraically closed field k. This construction was presented by the author at the German-Spanish Workshop on Moduli Spaces of Vector Bundles at the University of Essen in February 2007.
