Let X be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field k of any characteristic. A stable pair (E, <p) on X, as defined by Hitchin [2], is a vector bundle E on X together with a morphism <j>: E^>QX ® E of (^-modules such that for any ^-invariant proper subbundle F of E, the inequality JU(F) < /i(£) holds (where JU = degree/rank). In [2], Hitchin has proved that the set of all isomorphism classes of stable pairs of rank 2 over a compact Riemann surface can be given the structure of a complex manifold which has the coarse moduli property in the analytic category. In this paper we construct a coarse moduli scheme within the algebraic category in the following more general setup. Instead of taking (£, 0) with cf>: £ • Qx <8> E, we consider the more general situation where <p takes values in any fixed line bundle L on X. We do not place any restriction on the rank of E. In § 5 below, we complete the proof that for any line bundle L, there exists a coarse moduli scheme M(r, d, L) for (5-equivalence classes of) semistable pairs (E, <p: E—»L®£) of rank r, degree d, on X. The scheme M(r, d, L) is quasi-projective, and has an open subscheme M' which is the moduli scheme of stable pairs. Our construction of M is a generalization of the construction of the moduli of ordinary vector bundles; for an exposition of the latter, see [7] or [9]. In § 6, we show that the Hitchin morphism from M(r, d, L) to H°(X, L)x ... x H°(X, U), which maps a pair (E, <j>) to its characteristic polynomial, is a proper morphism. In § 7, we study some properties of the scheme M(r, d, L). From these it follows, in particular, that M(2, d, Qx) is a non-singular variety (irreducible and reduced) when d is odd.
