Infinitesimal deformations of some Quot schemes

Let $E$ be a vector bundle on a smooth complex projective curve $C$ of genus at least two. Let $\mathcal{Q}(E,d)$ be the Quot scheme parameterizing the torsion quotients of $E$ of degree $d$. We compute the cohomologies of the tangent bundle $T_{\mathcal{Q}(E,d)}$. In particular, the space of infinitesimal deformations of $\mathcal{Q}(E,d)$ is computed. Kempf and Fantechi computed the space of infinitesimal deformations of $\mathcal{Q}(\mathcal{O}_C,d)\,=\, C^{(d)}$. We also explicitly describe the infinitesimal deformations of $\mathcal{Q}(E,d)$.
