Abstract

Let 𝑋 be a smooth projective curve of genus 𝑔 β‰₯ 2 and 𝑆(π‘Ÿ, 𝑑) the moduli scheme of all rank π‘Ÿ stable vector bundles of degree 𝑑 on 𝑋. Fix an integer π‘˜ with 0 < π‘˜ < π‘Ÿ. H. Lange introduced a natural stratification of 𝑆(π‘Ÿ, 𝑑) using the degree of a rank π‘˜ subbundle of any 𝐸 ∈ 𝑆(π‘Ÿ, 𝑑) with maximal degree. Every non-dense stratum, say π‘Š(π‘˜, π‘Ÿ – π‘˜, π‘Ž, 𝑑 – π‘Ž), has in a natural way a fiber structure β„Ž : π‘Š(π‘˜, π‘Ÿ – π‘˜, π‘Ž, 𝑑 – π‘Ž) β†’ Picπ‘Ž(𝑋) Γ— Pic𝑏(𝑋) with β„Ž dominant. Here we study the rationality or the unirationality of the generic fiber of β„Ž.
