Fix an invertible sheaf $\\mathcal{L}$ on $\\mathcal{X}$ of relative odd degree. Let $\\pi_2:\\mathcal{G}(2,\\mathcal{L}) \\to \\Delta$ be the relative Gieseker moduli space of rank $2$ semi-stable vector bundles with determinant $\\mathcal{L}$ over $\\mathcal{X}$. Since $\\pi_2$ is smooth over $\\Delta^*$, there exists a canonical family $\\widetilde{\\rho}_i:\\mathbf{J}^i_{\\mathcal{G}(2, \\mathcal{L})_{\\Delta^*}} \\to \\Delta^{*}$ of $i$-th intermediate Jacobians i.e., for all $t \\in \\Delta^*$, $(\\widetilde{\\rho}_i)^{-1}(t)$ is the $i$-th intermediate Jacobian of $\\pi_2^{-1}(t)$. There exist different N\\'{e}ron models $\\overline{\\rho}_i:\\overline{\\mathbf{J}}_{\\mathcal{G}(2, \\mathcal{L})}^i \\to \\Delta$ extending $\\widetilde{\\rho}_i$ to the entire disc $\\Delta$, constructed by Clemens, Saito, Schnell, Zucker and Green-Griffiths-Kerr. In this article, we prove that in our setup, the N\\'{e}ron model $\\overline{\\rho}_i$ is canonical in the sense that the different N\\'{e}ron models coincide and is an analytic fiber space which graphs admissible normal functions. We also show that for $1 \\le i \\le \\max\\{2,g-1\\}$, the central fiber of $\\overline{\\rho}_i$ is a fibration over product of copies of $J^k(\\mathrm{Jac}(\\widetilde{X}_0))$ for certain values of $k$, where $\\widetilde{X}_0$ is the normalization of $X_0$. In particular, for $g \\ge 5$ and $i=2, 3, 4$, the central fiber of $\\overline{\\rho}_i$ is a semi-abelian variety. Furthermore, we prove that the $i$-th generalized intermediate Jacobian of the (singular) central fibre of $\\pi_2$ is a fibration over the central fibre of the N\\'{e}ron model $\\overline{\\mathbf{J}}^i_{\\mathcal{G}(2, \\mathcal{L})}$. In fact, for $i=2$ the fibration is an isomorphism.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-07T22:23:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14C30", "14C34", "14D07", "32G20", "32S35", "14D20", "14H40" ], "keywords": [ "néron models", "th intermediate jacobian", "central fibre", "central fiber", "th generalized intermediate jacobian" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
