The intersection theory of the moduli stack of vector bundles on
$\mathbb {P}^1$
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 July 2022
Abstract
We determine the integral Chow and cohomology rings of the moduli stack
$\mathcal {B}_{r,d}$
of rank r, degree d vector bundles on
$\mathbb {P}^1$
-bundles. We work over a field k of arbitrary characteristic. We first show that the rational Chow ring
$A_{\mathbb {Q}}^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$
is a free
$\mathbb {Q}$
-algebra on
$2r+1$
generators. The isomorphism class of this ring happens to be independent of d. Then, we prove that the integral Chow ring
$A^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$
is torsion-free and provide multiplicative generators for
$A^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$
as a subring of
$A_{\mathbb {Q}}^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$
. From this description, we see that
$A^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$
is not finitely generated as a
$\mathbb {Z}$
-algebra. Finally, when
$k = \mathbb {C}$
, the cohomology ring of
$\mathcal {B}_{r,d}$
is isomorphic to its Chow ring.
