• Singular pencils of quadrics and compactified Jacobians of curves

LetY be an irreducible nodal hyperelliptic curve of arithmetic genusg such that its nodes are also ramification points (char ≠2). To the curveY, we associate a family of quadratic forms which is dual to a singular pencil of quadrics in$$\mathbb{P}^{2g + 1}$$ with Segre symbol [2...21...1], where the number of 2's is equal to the number of nodes. We show that the compactified Jacobian ofY is isomorphic to the spaceR of (g−1) dimensional linear subspaces of$$\mathbb{P}^{2g + 1}$$ which are contained in the intersectionQ of quadrics of the pencil. We also prove that (under this isomorphism) the generalized Jacobian ofY is isomorphic to the open subset ofR consisting of the (g−1) dimensional subspaces not passing through any singular point ofQ.

• PrincipalG-bundles on nodal curves

LetG be a connected semisimple affine algebraic group defined over C. We study the relation between stable, semistable G-bundles on a nodal curveY and representations of the fundamental group ofY. This study is done by extending the notion of (generalized) parabolic vector bundles to principal G-bundles on the desingularizationC ofY and using the correspondence between them and principal G-bundles onY. We give an isomorphism of the stack of generalized parabolic bundles onC with a quotient stack associated to loop groups. We show that if G is simple and simply connected then the Picard group of the stack of principal G-bundles onY is isomorphic to ⊕m Z,m being the number of components ofY.

• Weak point property and sections of Picard bundles on a compactified Jacobian over a nodal curve

We show that the compactified Jacobian (and its desingularization) of an integral nodal curve $Y$ satisfies the weak point property and the Jacobian of $Y$ satisfies the diagonal property. We compute some cohomologies of Picard bundles on the compactified Jacobian and its desingularization
