Moduli of vector bundles

Moduli of vector bundles are mathematical tools that classify and organize all possible vector bundles over a fixed geometric space, like a surface or a curve. Think of a vector bundle as a collection of vector spaces attached smoothly to each point of a shape. The moduli space acts like a catalog, capturing how these bundles can vary and relate to each other, providing a systematic way to study their properties and relationships. This concept helps mathematicians understand the structure, deformation, and classification of these complex geometric objects in a unified framework.
