A Note On the moduli space of rank two vector bundles on Hirzebruch surfaces

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the Segre invariant for rank $2$ vector bundles on Hirzebruch surfaces $\mathbb{F}_e$, $e \geq 0$. We give necessary conditions in order to determine what numbers can appear as the Segre Invariant of a rank $2$ vector bundle on $\mathbb{F}_e$ with fixed Chern classes. We compute a bound of the dimensions of the strata whenever are non-empty. Finally, we present applications to Brill-Noether Theory and describe differences between moduli spaces under change of polarization for rank $2$ vector bundles on $\mathbb{F}_e$.
