Abstract

LetX 0 be a projective curve whose singularity is one ordinary double point. We construct a birational modelG(n, d) of the moduli spaceU(n, d) of stable torsion free sheaves in the case (n, d)= 1, such that G(n, d) has normal crossing singularities and behaves well under specialization i.e. if a smooth projective curve specializes toX 0, then the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rankn and degreed onX specializes toG(n, d). This generalizes an earlier work of Gieseker in the rank two case.
