Abstract

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p \gt 0 , \mathfrak{M}^s_X (r, d)$ the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank $r$ and degree $d$ on $X$. We study the Frobenius stratification of $\mathfrak{M}^s_X (3, d)$ in terms of Harder–Narasimhan polygons of Frobenius pull-backs of stable vector bundles and obtain the irreducibility and dimension of each non-empty Frobenius stratum in the case $(p, g) = (3, 2)$ with $3 \nmid d$.

Dedicated to the memory of Professor Michel Raynaud.
