Nef cones of some Quot schemes on a smooth projective curve

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb C$. Let $n,d\geq 1$. Let $\mathcal Q$ be the Quot scheme parameterizing torsion quotients of the vector bundle $\mathcal O^n_C$ of degree $d$. In this article we study the nef cone of $\mathcal Q$. We give a complete description of the nef cone in the case of elliptic curves. We compute it in the case when $d=2$ and $C$ very general, in terms of the nef cone of the second symmetric product of $C$. In the case when $n\geq d$ and $C$ very general, we give upper and lower bounds for the Nef cone. In general, we give a necessary and sufficient criterion for a divisor on $\mathcal Q$ to be nef.
