Fourier-Mukai transform for fine compactified Prym varieties

Abstract

Consider a finite covering β:CX\beta : C \to X of a smooth projective curve XX by a reduced, projective, planar curve CC. Associated to two general polarizations on CC, qq and qq', one can construct the corresponding compactified Prym varieties Pβ(q)\overline{\mathrm{P}}_\beta(q) and Pβ(q)\overline{\mathrm{P}}_\beta(q'). Consider Γ\Gamma to be the group of line bundles whose torsion coincides with the order of β\beta. In this article we construct a Fourier-Mukai transform between the derived categories of Pβ(q)\overline{\mathrm{P}}_\beta(q) and the Γ\Gamma-equivariant derived category of Pβ(q)\overline{\mathrm{P}}_\beta(q'). Hence, we obtain a derived equivalence between the SL(n,C)\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})-Hitchin fibre and its associated PGL(n,C)\mathrm{PGL}(n,\mathbb{C})-Hitchin fibre for a dense class of singular spectral curves. Our work then provides the extension of the Fourier-Mukai transform constructed by Arinkin and Melo-Rapagnetta-Viviani, which corresponds to autoduality of GL(n,C)\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C})-Hitchin fibres in this class of singular spectral curves.
