Abstract

Let XX be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve. Let Q(r,d){\mathcal Q}(r,d) be the Quot scheme parametrizing all coherent subsheaves of OXr{\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X of rank rr and degree d-d. There are natural morphisms Q(r,d)Symd(X){\mathcal Q}(r,d) \longrightarrow \text{Sym}^d(X) and Symd(X)Picd(X)\text{Sym}^d(X) \longrightarrow \text{Pic}^d(X). We prove that both these morphisms induce isomorphism of Brauer groups if d2d \geq 2. Consequently, the Brauer group of Q(r,d){\mathcal Q}(r,d) is identified with the Brauer group of Picd(X)\text{Pic}^d(X) if d2d \geq 2.
