Symmetric products and moduli spaces of vector bundles of curves

Abstract

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\ge 2$ and $M$ be the moduli space of rank 2 stable vector bundles on $X$ whose determinants are isomorphic to a fixed odd degree line bundle $L$. There has been a lot of works studying the moduli and recently the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on $M$ draws lots of attentions. It was proved that the derived category of $X$ can be embedded into the derived category of $M$ by the second named author and Fonarev-Kuznetsov. In this paper we prove that the derived category of the second symmetric product of $X$ can be embedded into derived category of $M$ when $X$ is non-hyperelliptic and $g\ge 16$.
