Abstract

We study moduli spaces \(M_X(r,c_1,c_2)\) parametrizing slope semistable vector bundles of rank r and fixed Chern classes \(c_1, c_2\) on a ruled surface whose base is a rational nodal curve. We show that under certain conditions, these moduli spaces are irreducible, smooth and rational (when non-empty). We also prove that they are non-empty in some cases. We show that for a rational ruled surface defined over real numbers, the moduli space \(M_X(r,c_1,c_2)\) is rational as a variety defined over \(\mathbb {R}\).
