A Torelli type theorem for nodal curves

Abstract

The moduli space of Gieseker vector bundles is a compactification of moduli of vector bundles on a nodal curve. This moduli space has only normal-crossing singularities and it provides flat degeneration of the moduli of vector bundles over a smooth projective curve. We prove a Torelli type theorem for a nodal curve using the moduli space of stable Gieseker vector bundles of fixed rank (strictly greater than [Formula: see text]) and fixed degree such that rank and degree are co-prime.
