Seshadri, C. S. Moduli of vector bundles on curves with parabolic structures. (English) Zbl 0354.14005 Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 83, 124-126 (1977). Let \(H\) denote the upper half plane and \(\Gamma\) a discrete subgroup of \(\operatorname{Aut} H\). When \(H \bmod\Gamma\) is compact, there is an algebraic interpretation for the unitary representations of \(\Gamma\) in terms of stable and semistable vector bundles over the Riemann surface \(H\bmod\Gamma\). In this paper the author announces an extension of this result to the case where \(H \bmod\Gamma\) has finite measure. For this let \(X\) be a smooth irreducible projective curve defined over an algebraically closed field \(k\), a point of \(X\) and \(V\) a vector bundle over \(X\). The author introduces the concept of a parabolic structure on \(V\) at \(Q\), and states a classification theorem for bundles with parabolic structures completely analogous to those of M. S. Narasimhan and himself for bundles without the added structure [Ann. Math. (2) 82, 540–567 (1965; Zbl 0171.04803); the author, ibid. 85, 303–336 (1967; Zbl 0173.23001) and C. I. M. E., \(3^\circ\) Ciclo Varenna 1969, Quest. algebr. Varieties, 139–260 (1970; Zbl 0209.24503)]. When \(k=\mathbb C\) and \(X-Q=H \bmod\Gamma\), certain of the corresponding moduli spaces can be identified with spaces of unitary representations of \(\Gamma\). Reviewer: P. E.
