The Frobenius map, rank 2 vector bundles and Kummer's quartic surface in characteristic 2 and 3 Yves Laszlo and Christian Pauly December 19, 2007 Abstract Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g ≥ 2 defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. Let MX(r) be the moduli space of semi-stable rank r vector bundles with fixed trivial determinant. The relative Frobenius map F : X ? X1 induces by pull-back a rational map V : MX1(r) ? MX(r). We determine the equations of V in the following two cases (1) (g, r, p) = (2, 2, 2) and X nonordinary with Hasse-Witt invariant equal to 1 (see math.AG/0005044 for the case X ordinary), and (2) (g, r, p) = (2, 2, 3). We also show the existence of base points of V , i.e., semi-stable bundles E such that F ?E is not semi-stable, for any triple (g, r, p). 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.
