Abstract

Let CC be a smooth projective curve over C\mathbb{C} of genus g(C)3g(C)\geqslant 3 (respectively, g(C)=2g(C)=2). Fix integers r,kr,k such that 2kr22\leqslant k\leqslant r-2, (respectively, 3kr23\leqslant k\leqslant r-2). Let Q:=QuotC/C(OCr,k,d)\mathcal{Q}:={\rm Quot}_{C/\mathbb{C}}(\mathcal{O}^{\oplus r}_C, k, d) be the Quot scheme parametrizing rank kk and degree dd quotients of the trivial bundle of rank rr. Let QL\mathcal{Q}_L denote the closed subscheme of the Quot scheme parametrizing quotients such that the quotient sheaf has determinant LL. It is known that QL\mathcal{Q}_L is an integral, normal, local complete intersection, locally factorial scheme of Picard rank 2, when d0d\gg0. In this article we compute the nef cone, effective cone and canonical divisor of this variety when d0d\gg0. We show this variety is Fano iff r=2k+1r=2k+1.
