\section{Introduction}

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g\,\geq\, 2$.
Fix positive integers $r$ and $d$. Let ${\mathcal Q}\, :=\,
{\rm Quot}_X({\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X,d)$ be the Quot scheme that parametrizes
the torsion quotients
$$
{\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X\, \longrightarrow\, Q
$$
such that $\text{degree}(Q)\,=\, d$. It is a smooth complex projective manifold
of dimension $rd$. Consider the standard action of $\text{U}(r)$ on ${\mathbb C}^r$.
The corresponding vortices are pairs of the form $(E\, ,\phi)$, where $E$ is a
holomorphic vector bundle on $X$ of rank $r$ and
$$
\phi\, :\, {\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X\, \longrightarrow\, E
$$
is a holomorphic homomorphism such that the subsheaf
$\text{image}(\phi)\, \subset\,E$ is of rank $r$,
equivalently, $E/\text{image}(\phi)$ is a torsion sheaf \cite{BDW}. Therefore,
the dual homomorphism
$$
\phi^*\, :\, E^*\, \longrightarrow\, {\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X
$$
defines an element of ${\mathcal Q}$ if $\text{degree}(E)\, =\, d$.
Consequently, $\mathcal Q$ is a moduli space of vortices on $X$.

Our aim here is to investigate the geometry of the variety $\mathcal Q$.
Let $\text{Aut}^0(\mathcal Q)$ denote the connected component, containing the
identity element, of the group of holomorphic automorphisms of
$\mathcal Q$. The natural action of $\text{GL}(r, {\mathbb C})$ on
${\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X$ produces an action of
$\text{PGL}(r, {\mathbb C})$ on $\mathcal Q$. let
$$
F\, :\, \text{PGL}(r, {\mathbb C})\, \longrightarrow\, \text{Aut}^0(\mathcal Q)
$$
be the homomorphism given by this action.

We prove the following (see Theorem \ref{thm1} and Corollary \ref{cor1}):

\begin{theorem}\label{thm-i1}
The homomorphism $F$ is an isomorphism. In particular, the
homomorphism of Lie algebras
$$
sl(r, {\mathbb C})\, \longrightarrow\, H^0({\mathcal Q},\, T{\mathcal Q})
$$
given by $F$ is an isomorphism.
\end{theorem}

Theorem \ref{thm1} allows us to investigate the fixed point locus in $\mathcal Q$
for the action of a maximal torus of $\text{Aut}^0(\mathcal Q)$. As a
consequence, we obtain the following Torelli type theorem (see Theorem \ref{thm2}):

\begin{theorem}\label{thm-i2}
If $g\,=\, 2\,=\, d$, assume that $r\, \geq\, 2$. Then the isomorphism class
of the complex manifold $\mathcal Q$ uniquely determines the isomorphism
class of the Riemann surface $X$.
\end{theorem}

The proof of Theorem \ref{thm-i2} also uses a Torelli type theorem for
$\text{Sym}^d(X)$ proved in \cite{fa}.

Take a holomorphic line bundle $L$ on $X$. Let ${\mathcal Q}
(L^{\oplus r},d)$ be the Quot scheme parametrizing torsion quotients of
$L^{\oplus r}$ of dimension $d$. Then the variety ${\mathcal Q} (L^{\oplus r},d)$
is canonically isomorphic to $\mathcal Q$. Therefore, Theorem \ref{thm-i1}
and Theorem \ref{thm-i2} remain valid for ${\mathcal Q}(L^{\oplus r},d)$.

\section{Self-product, meromorphic functions and meromorphic vector fields}

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g\,\geq\, 2$. The
Cartesian product $X\times X$ will be denoted by $X^2$. Let $\Delta\, \subset\, X^2$
be the diagonal consisting of points of the form $(x\, ,x)$ with $x\, \in\, X$.
For $\ell\,=\, 1\, ,2$, let
$$
p_\ell\, :\, X^2\, \longrightarrow\, X
$$
be the projection to the $\ell$-th factor. The holomorphic tangent bundle of $X$ will
be denoted by $TX$.

\begin{lemma}\label{lem1}
For any $i\, \geq\, 0$,
$$
H^0(X^2,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^2}(i\cdot
\Delta))\,=\, H^0(X^2,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^2})\,=\, {\mathbb C}\, .
$$

For any $i\, \geq\, 0$,
$$
H^0(X^2,\, (p^*_1 TX)^{\otimes \alpha_1}\otimes
(p^*_2 TX)^{\otimes \alpha_2}\otimes {\mathcal O}_{X^2}(i\cdot
\Delta))\,=\, 0\, ,
$$
where $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ are nonnegative integers with
$\alpha_1+\alpha_2\, >\, 0$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Let $\iota\,:\, X\, \longrightarrow\, X^2$ be the map defined by $x\,\longmapsto\,
(x\, ,x)$. It identifies $X$ with $\Delta$. From the Poincar\'e adjunction formula we know
that $\iota^* ({\mathcal O}_{X^2}(\Delta)\vert_\Delta) \,=\, TX$; see
\cite[p. 146]{GH} for Poincar\'e adjunction formula.

For any $i\, \geq\, 0$, consider the short exact sequence of coherent analytic sheaves
on $X^2$
\begin{equation}\label{f1}
0\,\longrightarrow\, {\mathcal O}_{X^2}(i\cdot \Delta)\,\longrightarrow\,
{\mathcal O}_{X^2}((i+1)\cdot \Delta)\,\longrightarrow\,
{\mathcal O}_{X^2}((i+1)\cdot \Delta)\vert_\Delta\,=\, \iota_*((TX)^{\otimes (i+1)})
\,\longrightarrow\, 0\, .
\end{equation}
Let
$$
H^0(X^2,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^2}(i\cdot \Delta))\,\longrightarrow\,
H^0(X^2,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^2}((i+1)\cdot \Delta))\,\longrightarrow\,
H^0(X,\, (TX)^{\otimes (i+1)})
$$
be the corresponding long exact sequence of cohomologies. We have
$$
H^0(X,\, (TX)^{\otimes (i+1)})\,=\, 0
$$
because $g\, \geq\, 2$. Hence the above homomorphism
$$
H^0(X^2,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^2}(i\cdot \Delta))\,\longrightarrow\,
H^0(X^2,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^2}((i+1)\cdot \Delta))
$$
is an isomorphism. Now using downward induction on $i$,
$$
H^0(X^2,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^2}(i\cdot \Delta))\,= \,
H^0(X^2,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^2})\, =\, \mathbb C\, .
$$
This proves the first part of the lemma.

To prove the second part of the lemma,
consider the short exact sequence of coherent analytic sheaves on $X^2$
$$
0\,\longrightarrow\, (p^*_1 TX)^{\otimes\alpha_1}
\otimes (p^*_2 TX)^{\otimes\alpha_2}\otimes {\mathcal O}_{X^2}(i\cdot
\Delta)\,\longrightarrow\, (p^*_1 TX)^{\otimes\alpha_1}
\otimes (p^*_2 TX)^{\otimes\alpha_2} \otimes {\mathcal O}_{X^2}((i+1)
\cdot \Delta)
$$
$$
\longrightarrow\, \iota_*((TX)^{\otimes (\alpha_1+\alpha_2+i+1)})
\,\longrightarrow\, 0
$$
obtained by tensoring \eqref{f1} with $(p^*_1 TX)^{\otimes \alpha_1}\otimes
(p^*_2 TX)^{\otimes \alpha_2}$. Since $H^0(X,\, (TX)^{\otimes m})\,=\, 0$ for
all $m\, \geq\, 1$, using downward induction on $i$, we have
$$
H^0(X^2,\, (p^*_1 TX)^{\otimes \alpha_1}\otimes
(p^*_2 TX)^{\otimes \alpha_2}\otimes {\mathcal O}_{X^2}(i\cdot
\Delta))\,=\,H^0(X^2,\, (p^*_1 TX)^{\otimes \alpha_1}\otimes
(p^*_2 TX)^{\otimes \alpha_2})\,=\, 0\, .
$$
This completes the proof.
\end{proof}

Take any integer $n\, \geq\, 1$. Let
$$
X^n\, :=\, \overbrace{X\times \cdots\times X}^{n\text{-times}}
$$
be the $n$-fold Cartesian product. The projection of $X^n$ to the $\ell$-th factor,
$1\,\leq\, \ell\, \leq\, n$, will be denoted by $p_\ell$. For $1\,\leq\, j\, <\, k\,
\leq\, n$, let
\begin{equation}\label{djk}
\Delta_{j,k}\,\subset\, X^n
\end{equation}
be the divisor consisting of points whose of $X^n$ $j$-th coordinate coincides
with the $k$-th coordinate.

Take integers $m_{j,k}\, \geq\, 0$, where $1\,\leq\, j\, <\, k\,\leq\, n$.
Fix a pair $(j_0\, ,k_0)$, with $1\,\leq\, j_0\, <\, k_0\,\leq\, n$. Define
$m'_{j,k}$, $1\,\leq\, j\, <\, k\,\leq\, n$, as follows:
\begin{itemize}
\item $m'_{j_0,k_0}\,=\, m_{j_0,k_0}+1$, and

\item $m'_{j,k}\,=\, m_{j,k}$ if $(j\, ,k)\,
\not=\, (j_0\, ,k_0)$.
\end{itemize}

\begin{lemma}\label{lem2}
For any $i\, \geq\, 0$, the natural inclusion
$$
H^0(X^n,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^n}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq n} m_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k}))\, \hookrightarrow\,
H^0(X^n,\, {\mathcal O}_{X^n}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq n} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k}))
$$
is an isomorphism.

For nonnegative integers $\alpha_\ell$, $\ell\, \in\, \{1\, ,\cdots\, ,n\}$,
with $\sum_{\ell=1}^n \alpha_\ell\, >\, 0$, the natural inclusion
$$
H^0(X^n,\, (\bigotimes_{\ell=1}^n (p^*_\ell TX)^{\otimes \alpha_\ell})
\otimes {\mathcal O}_{X^n}(\sum_{1\leq j
< k\leq n} m_{j,k}\cdot \Delta_{j,k}))
$$
$$
\,\hookrightarrow\,
H^0(X^n,\, (\bigotimes_{\ell=1}^n (p^*_\ell TX)^{\otimes \alpha_\ell})
\otimes {\mathcal O}_{X^n}(\sum_{1\leq j <
k\leq n} m'_{j,k}\cdot \Delta_{j,k}))
$$
is an isomorphism.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
If $n\,=\, 1$, then $\Delta_{j,k}$ are the zero divisors. Hence the lemma
holds for $n\,=\,1$ as $g\, \geq\, 2$.
If $n\,=\, 2$, then it reduces to Lemma \ref{lem1}. We will prove the
lemma using induction on $n$.

Assume that the lemma is proved for all $n\, \leq\, a-1$.
For any $\ell\, \in\, \{1\, ,\cdots\, ,a-1\}$, let
\begin{equation}\label{ql}
q_\ell\,:\, X^{a-1}\,\longrightarrow\, X
\end{equation}
be the projection to the $\ell$-th factor. Fix nonnegative integers $n_{j,k}$ for every
$1\,\leq\, j < k\,\leq\, a-1$. Since the first statement of the lemma holds
for $n\,=\, a-1$, we conclude that
\begin{equation}\label{f2}
H^0(X^{a-1},\, {\mathcal O}_{X^{a-1}}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a-1} n_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k}))\,=\, {\mathbb C}\, ,
\end{equation}
where $\Delta_{j,k}\,\subset\, X^{a-1}$ is the divisor defined in \eqref{djk}.
Since the second statement of the lemma holds for $n\,=\, a-1$, we conclude that
\begin{equation}\label{f3}
H^0(X^{a-1},\, (\bigotimes_{\ell=1}^{a-1} (q^*_\ell TX)^{\otimes \alpha_\ell})\otimes
{\mathcal O}_{X^{a-1}}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a-1} n_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k}))\,=\, 0\, ,
\end{equation}
where $\alpha_\ell$ are nonnegative integers with $\sum_{\ell=1}^{a-1}
\alpha_\ell\, >\, 0$.

We will prove the lemma for $n\,=\, a$.

Take $(j_0\, ,k_0)$, $\{m_{j,k}\}$ and $\{m'_{j,k}\}$ as in the lemma.
Let
$$
\iota\,:\, X^{a-1}\, \longrightarrow\, X^a\,=\, X^n
$$
be the map that sends $(x_1\, ,\cdots\, ,x_{a-1})$ to
$(y_1\, ,\cdots\, ,y_{a})$ such that
\begin{itemize}
\item $y_c\,=\, x_c$ if $c\, \leq\, k_0-1$,

\item $y_{k_0}\,=\, x_{j_0}$, and

\item $y_c\,=\, x_{c-1}$ if $c\, >\, k_0$.
\end{itemize}
So $\iota$ identifies $X^{a-1}$ with $\Delta_{j_0,k_0}$. The Poincar\'e adjunction
formula says that
\begin{equation}\label{pa}
\iota^* ({\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\Delta_{j_0,k_0})\vert_{\Delta_{j_0,k_0}}) \,=\,
(q_{j_0})^*TX\, ,
\end{equation}
where $q_{j_0}$ is defined in \eqref{ql}.
For any $(j\, ,k)\, \not=\, (j_0\, ,k_0)$, let
\begin{equation}\label{dp}
\Delta'_{j,k}\, :=\, \iota^{-1}(\Delta_{j,k}\cap \Delta_{j_0,k_0})
\, \subset\, X^{a-1}
\end{equation}
be the diagonal divisor.

Consider the short exact sequence of coherent analytic sheaves on $X^a$
\begin{equation}\label{e1}
0\,\longrightarrow\, {\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a} m_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k})\,\longrightarrow\,
{\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k})\, \longrightarrow\,
({\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k}))\vert_{\Delta_{j_0,k_0}}
\end{equation}
$$
=\,\iota_*
((q_{j_0})^*(TX)^{\otimes m'_{j_0,k_0}}\otimes
{\mathcal O}_{X^{a-1}}(\sum_{(j,k)\not= (j_0,k_0)} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta'_{j,k}))\,\longrightarrow\, 0\, ,
$$
where $\Delta'_{j,k}$ is defined in \eqref{dp} and
$q_{j_0}$ is defined in \eqref{ql}; the identification
$$
{\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k})\, \longrightarrow\,
({\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k}))\vert_{\Delta_{j_0,k_0}}
$$
$$
=\,\iota_*
((q_{j_0})^*(TX)^{\otimes m'_{j_0,k_0}}\otimes
{\mathcal O}_{X^{a-1}}(\sum_{(j,k)\not= (j_0,k_0)} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta'_{j,k}))
$$
in \eqref{e1} is constructed using
the isomorphism in \eqref{pa}. From \eqref{f3} we know that
$$
H^0(X^{a-1},\, (p'_{j_0})^*(TX)^{\otimes m'_{j_0,k_0}}\otimes
{\mathcal O}_{X^{a-1}}(\sum_{(j,k)\not= (j_0,k_0)} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta'_{j,k}))\,=\, 0\, .
$$
Therefore, from the long exact sequence of cohomologies associated to the
short exact sequence in \eqref{e1} we conclude that
$$
H^0(X^{a},\, {\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a} m_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k}))\,=\,
H^0(X^{a},\, {\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k}))\, .
$$
This proves the first statement of the lemma for $n\,=\, a$. Therefore,
the proof of the first statement of the lemma is complete by induction on $n$.

We will now prove the second statement.
Take $\{\alpha_\ell\}$ as in the second statement of the lemma. For
$\ell\, \in\, \{1\, ,\cdots\, ,a-1\}$, define $\alpha'_\ell$ as follows:
\begin{itemize}
\item $\alpha'_\ell\,=\, \alpha_\ell$ if $\ell\, <\, j_0$,

\item $\alpha'_{j_0}\,=\, \alpha_{j_0}+\alpha_{k_0}$,

\item $\alpha'_\ell\,=\, \alpha_\ell$ if $j_0\, <\, \ell\, <\, k_0$, and

\item $\alpha'_\ell\,=\, \alpha_{\ell+1}$ if $\ell\, \geq\, k_0$.
\end{itemize}
Note that $\sum_{\ell=1}^a \alpha_\ell\,=\, \sum_{\ell=1}^{a-1} \alpha'_\ell$.

Let
$$
0\,\longrightarrow\, (\bigotimes_{\ell=1}^a (p^*_\ell TX)^{\otimes \alpha_\ell})
\otimes{\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a} m_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k})\,\longrightarrow\,(\bigotimes_{\ell=1}^a (p^*_\ell TX)^{\otimes \alpha_\ell})
\otimes {\mathcal O}_{X^a}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq a} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta_{j,k})
$$
$$
\longrightarrow\, \iota_*
((\bigotimes_{\ell=1}^{a-1} (q^*_\ell TX)^{\otimes \alpha'_\ell})
\otimes (q_{j_0})^*(TX)^{\otimes m'_{j_0,k_0}}\otimes
{\mathcal O}_{X^{a-1}}(\sum_{(j,k)\not= (j_0,k_0)} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta'_{j,k}))\,\longrightarrow\, 0\, ,
$$
be the short exact sequence of coherent analytic sheaves on $X^a$
obtained by tensoring \eqref{e1} with $\bigotimes_{\ell=1}^a (p^*_\ell TX)^{\otimes
\alpha_\ell}$. From \eqref{f3} we know that
$$
H^0(X^{a-1},\, (\bigotimes_{\ell=1}^{a-1} (q^*_\ell TX)^{\otimes \alpha'_\ell})
\otimes (q_{j_0})^*(TX)^{\otimes m'_{j_0,k_0}}\otimes
{\mathcal O}_{X^{a-1}}(\sum_{(j,k)\not= (j_0,k_0)} m'_{j,k}\cdot
\Delta'_{j,k}))\,=\, 0\, .
$$
Therefore, from the long exact sequence of cohomologies associated to the
above short exact sequence of sheaves
we conclude that the second statement of the lemma
holds for $n\,=\,a$. This completes the proof by induction on $n$.
\end{proof}

\begin{proposition}\label{prop1}
For any $n\, \geq\, 1$ and nonnegative integers $m_{j,k}$,
$1\,\leq\, j\, <\, k\,\leq\, n$,
$$
H^0(X^n,\, TX^n\otimes {\mathcal O}_{X^n}(\sum_{1\leq j
< k\leq n} m_{j,k}\cdot \Delta_{j,k}))\,=\, 0\, ,
$$
where $TX^n$ is the holomorphic tangent bundle of $X^n$.
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
Since
$$
TX^n\,=\, \bigoplus_{\ell=1}^n p^*_\ell TX\, ,
$$
where $p_\ell$ is the projection of $X^n$ to the $\ell$-th factor,
the proposition follows from the second statement in Lemma \ref{lem2}.
\end{proof}

\section{Vector fields on the Quot scheme}

Let $E^0\,:=\, {\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X$ be the trivial holomorphic vector bundle
over $X$ of rank $r$. Fix a positive integer $d$. Let
$$
{\mathcal Q}\, :=\, {\rm Quot}_X(E^0,d)
$$
be the Quot scheme that parametrizes the torsion quotients of $E^0$ of dimension $d$.
So each point of $\mathcal Q$ represents a quotient
\begin{equation}\label{ve}
\varphi\, :\, E^0\, \twoheadrightarrow\, Q
\end{equation}
of the ${\mathcal O}_X$--module $E^0$ such that
\begin{itemize}
\item $Q$ is a torsion ${\mathcal O}_X$--module, and

\item $\dim H^0(X,\, Q)\,=\, d$.
\end{itemize}
The obstruction to the smoothness of the variety ${\mathcal Q}$ at the point $Q\,
\in\,\mathcal Q$ is given by $\text{Ext}^1_{{\mathcal O}_X}(\text{kernel}(\varphi)\, ,
Q)$ \cite[p. 1, Theorem 2]{Be}. For any $\varphi$ as in \eqref{ve}, since
$\text{kernel}(\varphi)$ is locally free,
and the dimension of the support of $Q$ is zero. we have
$$\text{Ext}^1_{{\mathcal O}_X}(\text{kernel}(\varphi)\, , Q)\,=\, 0\, .$$
Therefore, ${\mathcal Q}$ is an irreducible smooth complex projective variety.
Its dimension is $rd$.

Consider the tautological action of the group $\text{Aut}(E^0)\,=\,
\text{GL}(r,{\mathbb C})$ on $E^0$. It produces an effective action of
$\text{PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})$ on ${\mathcal Q}$
\begin{equation}\label{ea}
\text{PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})\times {\mathcal Q}\, \longrightarrow\,
{\mathcal Q}\, .
\end{equation}
Consider the Lie algebra $sl(r,{\mathbb C})$ (the space of $r\times r$
complex matrices of trace zero) of $\text{PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})$. Let
\begin{equation}\label{ga}
\gamma\, :\, sl(r,{\mathbb C})\,\longrightarrow\,
H^0({\mathcal Q},\, T{\mathcal Q})
\end{equation}
be the homomorphism of Lie algebras given by the action of
$\text{PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})$ on ${\mathcal Q}$ in \eqref{ea}. (The
Lie algebra structure of $H^0({\mathcal Q},\, T{\mathcal Q})$ is given by
Lie bracket of vector fields.)

\begin{theorem}\label{thm1}
The homomorphism $\gamma$ in \eqref{ga} is an isomorphism.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
The homomorphism $\gamma$ is injective because the homomorphism from
$sl(r,{\mathbb C})$ to the space of holomorphic vector fields on ${\mathbb C}
{\mathbb P}^{r-1}$, given by the standard action of $\text{PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})$
on ${\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^{r-1}$, is injective.

Let $\text{Sym}^d(X)$ be the $d$-fold symmetric product of $X$. It parametrizes
the effective divisors on $X$ of degree $d$. Let $$U\, \subset\, \text{Sym}^d(X)$$
be the Zariski open subset parametrizing distinct $d$ points; so $U$ parametrizes
the reduced effective divisors of degree $d$. The group of permutations of
$\{1\, ,\cdots\, ,d\}$ will be denoted by $S_d$. Let
\begin{equation}\label{f}
f\, :\, \widetilde{U} \,:=\, X^d\setminus (\bigcup_{1\leq j < k\leq d}
\Delta_{j,k})\, \longrightarrow\, U
\end{equation}
be natural projection, where $\Delta_{j,k}$ is defined in \eqref{djk}. We note
that $f$ is an \'etale Galois covering with Galois group $S_d$.

Sending any quotient $Q\,\in\, {\mathcal Q}$ of $E^0$ to the scheme-theoretic
support of $Q$, we obtain a morphism
\begin{equation}\label{be}
\widetilde{\beta}\, :\,{\mathcal Q}\,\longrightarrow\, \text{Sym}^d(X)\, .
\end{equation}
Define
$$
{\mathcal U}\, :=\, \widetilde{\beta}^{-1}(U)\, \subset\, {\mathcal Q}\, .
$$
The restriction of $\widetilde{\beta}$ to ${\mathcal U}$ will be denoted by
$\beta$. We note that
\begin{equation}\label{be-n}
\beta\, :\, {\mathcal U}\,\longrightarrow\, U
\end{equation}
is a smooth proper surjective morphism. The fiber of $\beta$ over any
$z\, \in\, U$ is the Cartesian product
\begin{equation}\label{z}
{\mathcal U}_z\, :=\, \beta^{-1}(z) \,=\, \prod_{x\in z} P(E^0_x)\, .
\end{equation}
So ${\mathcal U}_z$ is isomorphic to $({\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^{r-1})^d$.

Take any
$$
\theta\, \in\, H^0({\mathcal Q},\, T{\mathcal Q})\, .
$$
Let $\theta_0$ be the restriction of $\theta$ to ${\mathcal U}$. Let
$$
d\beta\, :\, T{\mathcal U}\,\longrightarrow\, \beta^*TU
$$
be the differential of the projection $\beta$ in \eqref{be-n}. Since
the fibers of $\beta$ are connected and projective, we conclude that
$d\beta(\theta_0)$ is the pullback of a holomorphic vector field on $U$. Let
$\theta'$ be the holomorphic vector field on $U$ such that
$$
d\beta(\theta_0)\,=\, \beta^*\theta'\, .
$$

Let
$$
\theta''\, :=\, f^*\theta'\, \in\, H^0(\widetilde{U},\, T\widetilde{U})
$$
be the pullback, where $f$ is the projection in \eqref{f}. Since $\theta_0$ is
the restriction of a holomorphic vector field on ${\mathcal Q}$, it follows that
$\theta''$ is meromorphic on $X^d$, or in other words,
$$
\theta''\, \in\, H^0(X^d,\, TX^d\otimes
{\mathcal O}_{X^d}(\sum_{1\leq j < k\leq d} m_{j,k}\cdot \Delta_{j,k}))
$$
for sufficiently large integers $m_{j,k}$. Therefore, from
Proposition \ref{prop1} we conclude that $\theta''\, =\, 0$. Hence
$$
d\beta(\theta_0)\,=\, 0\, .
$$
In other words, $\theta_0$ is vertical for the projection $\beta$.

Let
$$
\text{ad}(E^0)\, \subset\, End(E^0)\,=\, E^0\otimes (E^0)^*
$$
be the subbundle of rank $r^2-1$ defined by the sheaf of
endomorphisms of trace zero. For any point $x\, \in\, X$, we have
$$
H^0(P(E^0_x),\, TP(E^0_x))\,=\, \text{ad}(E^0)_x\,=\, sl(r,{\mathbb C})\, .
$$
In view of \eqref{z},
$$
H^0({\mathcal U}_z, \, T{\mathcal U}_z)\,=\, \bigoplus_{x\in z} \text{ad}(E^0)_x
\,=\, \bigoplus_{x\in z} sl(r,{\mathbb C})
$$
for all $z\, \in\, U$.
We will show that the restriction to ${\mathcal U}_z$ of any holomorphic vector
field on $\mathcal Q$ is a constant diagonal element of
$\bigoplus_{x\in z} sl(r,{\mathbb C})$ which is independent of $z$.

Let
$$
{\mathcal Z}\, :=\, f^*{\mathcal Q}\,=\, \widetilde{U}\times_U {\mathcal U}\,
\longrightarrow\, \widetilde{U}
$$
be the pullback to $\widetilde{U}$
of the fiber bundle $\beta\, :\, {\mathcal U}\, \longrightarrow\, U$.
The natural projection
\begin{equation}\label{phi}
\phi\, :\, {\mathcal Z}\, :=\,f^*{\mathcal Q}\,\, \longrightarrow\,{\mathcal U}
\end{equation}
is an \'etale Galois covering with Galois group $S_d$.

As before, let $\theta_0$ be the restriction to $\mathcal U$ of a holomorphic
vector field on $\mathcal Q$. Consider the vector field
$$
\theta_1\, :=\, \phi^*\theta_0 \,\in\, H^0({\mathcal Z},\, T{\mathcal Z})
$$
on ${\mathcal Z}$, where $\phi$ is the projection in
\eqref{phi}. We know that $\theta_1$ is vertical for the projection
${\mathcal Z}\, \longrightarrow\,\widetilde{U}$.

Note that the fibers of the
projection ${\mathcal Z}\, \longrightarrow\,\widetilde{U}$ are canonically
identified with $({\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^{r-1})^d$.
Therefore, the vector field $\theta_1$ is a holomorphic function on
$\widetilde{U}$ with values in $sl(r,{\mathbb C})^{\oplus d}$. This
holomorphic function is meromorphic on $X^d$ because $\theta_0$ is the
restriction to $\mathcal U$ of a holomorphic vector field on $\mathcal Q$. From
the first part of Lemma \ref{lem2} we know that there are no nonconstant
meromorphic functions on $X^d$ that are holomorphic on $\widetilde{U}$. Hence
$\theta_1$ is a constant function from $\widetilde{U}$ to $sl(r,{\mathbb C})^{\oplus d}$.
This function $\widetilde{U}\, \longrightarrow\,sl(r,{\mathbb C})^{\oplus d}$
has to be invariant under the action of the Galois group $S_d$ on
$\widetilde{U}$ because $\theta_1$ is the pullback of a vector field on $\mathcal U$.
Therefore, there is an element
$$
v\, \in\, sl(r,{\mathbb C})
$$
such that $\theta_1$ is the constant function $(v\, ,\cdots\, ,v)$. Since
$\mathcal U$ is dense in $\mathcal Q$,
this immediately implies that the injective homomorphism
$\gamma$ in \eqref{ga} is surjective.
\end{proof}

Let $\text{Aut}({\mathcal Q})$ be the group of holomorphic automorphisms of
$\mathcal Q$. It is a complex Lie group with Lie algebra
$H^0({\mathcal Q},\, T{\mathcal Q})$; as before, the Lie algebra operation on
$H^0({\mathcal Q},\, T{\mathcal Q})$ is given by the Lie bracket of
vector fields. The connected component of $\text{Aut}({\mathcal Q})$ containing
the identity element will be denoted by $\text{Aut}^0({\mathcal Q})$. The
following is an immediate consequence of Theorem \ref{thm1}.

\begin{corollary}\label{cor1}
The subgroup ${\rm PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})\, \subset\,
{\rm Aut}({\mathcal Q})$ in \eqref{ea} coincides with
${\rm Aut}^0({\mathcal Q})$.
\end{corollary}

\section{Torus action on the Quot scheme}

Let $T\,\subset\, {\rm PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})$ be the maximal torus consisting
of diagonal matrices. Restrict the action of ${\rm PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})$ on
${\mathcal Q}$ in \eqref{ea} to the subgroup $T$. Let
$$
{\mathcal Q}^T\, \subset\, \mathcal Q
$$
be the subset fixed pointwise by this action of $T$; it is
a disjoint union of complex submanifolds of $\mathcal Q$. We will recall the
description of the connected components of ${\mathcal Q}^T$ given in \cite{bifet}.

Consider a point of ${\mathcal Q}$ given by an exact sequence
\[
 0\,\longrightarrow\, {\mathcal F} \,\stackrel{\iota}{\longrightarrow}\,
{\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X\,\longrightarrow\, Q\,\longrightarrow \, 0\, .
\]
This exact sequence corresponds to a fixed point of the torus action
on $\mathcal Q$ if and only if the homomorphism $\iota$ decomposes as
\[
 \iota\,=\,\bigoplus_{j=1}^r \iota_j \,:\, \bigoplus_{j=1}^r {\mathcal L}_j
\,\hookrightarrow \, {\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X\, ,
\]
where each $\iota_j$ is the inclusion of some ideal sheaf
\[
 \iota_j\,:\, {\mathcal L}_j \,\hookrightarrow\, {\mathcal O}_X
\]
(see \cite[p. 610]{bifet}).
We may write ${\mathcal L}_j\,=\,{\mathcal O}_X(-D_j)$, where $D_j$
is the divisor for $\iota_j$. We have
\[
 \sum_{j=1}^r \deg(D_j)\,=\,d
\]
by the definition of $\mathcal Q$.

Denote by ${\bf Part}_r^d$ the set of partitions of $d$ of length $r$. So
$(d_1\, ,d_2\, ,\cdots \, ,d_r)\,\in \,{\bf Part}_r^d$ if and only if $d_j$
are nonnegative integers with
\[
 \sum_{j=1}^r d_j\,=\, d\, .
\]

By $\text{Sym}^0(X)$ we will mean a point.

\begin{proposition}\label{prop-f}
The fixed point locus is a disjoint union
 \[
 {\mathcal Q}^T \,=\, \coprod_{(d_1,\cdots ,d_r)\,\in\, {\bf Part}_r^d} {\rm
Sym}^{d_1}(X) \times \cdots \times {\rm Sym}^{d_r} (X)\, .
 \]
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
If $r\,=\,1$, then $\text{Quot}({\mathcal O}_X\, ,e)$ is the
symmetric product ${\rm Sym}^e(X)$, as the map in \eqref{be} is an
isomorphism. If for each $1\, \leq\, i\, \leq\, m$,
$$
f_i\, :\, {\mathcal O}_X\, \longrightarrow\, Q_i
$$
is a torsion quotient of ${\mathcal O}_X$ of degree $e_i$, then
$$
\bigoplus_{i=1}^m f_i\, :\, {\mathcal O}^{\oplus m}_X\, \longrightarrow\,
\bigoplus_{i=1}^m Q_i
$$
is a torsion quotient of ${\mathcal O}^{\oplus m}_X$ of degree $\sum_{i=1}^m e_i$.
Therefore, for each partition $$(d_1\, ,\cdots\, ,d_r)\,\in\, {\bf Part}_r^d$$
we have an inclusion map
\[
 {\rm Sym}^{d_1}(X) \times \cdots\times {\rm Sym}^{d_r} (X)
\,\hookrightarrow\, {\mathcal O}_X^{\oplus r}\, .
\]

It is clear that these subschemes together map onto the fixed point locus
of the torus action. Further, the union is clearly disjoint.
\end{proof}

The cohomology algebra of $\text{Sym}^e(X)$ was computed by Macdonald
\cite[p. 325, (6.3)]{Ma}. In particular, he showed that
$$
b_1(\text{Sym}^e(X))\, :=\, \dim H^1(\text{Sym}^e(X),\, {\mathbb Q})\,=\, 2g\, .
$$
Consequently,
\begin{equation}\label{b1}
b_1({\rm Sym}^{d_1}(X) \times \cdots\times {\rm Sym}^{d_r} (X))
\,=\, 2g(\sum_{d_i\not=0} 1)\, .
\end{equation}
Therefore, for elements $(d_1\, ,\cdots \, ,d_r)\,\in\, {\bf Part}_r^d$, the first
Betti number $b_1({\rm Sym}^{d_1}(X) \times \cdots\times {\rm Sym}^{d_r} (X))$
attains the minimum value if and only if some $d_i$ is $d$ and the rest are zero.

Hence Proposition \ref{prop-f} has the following corollary:

\begin{corollary}\label{cor-f}
Consider the first Betti number of the connected components of ${\mathcal Q}^T$.
If the first Betti number of a connected component attains the minimum value, then
this component is isomorphic to ${\rm Sym}^d(X)$.
\end{corollary}

Since any maximal torus of ${\rm PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})$ is conjugate to $T$,
Proposition \ref{prop-f} and Corollary \ref{cor-f} remain valid if $T$ is replaced
by any other maximal torus of ${\rm PGL}(r,{\mathbb C})$.

\section{The Torelli Theorem}

As before, ${\mathcal Q}\, :=\, {\rm Quot}_X({\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X,d)$ is the
Quot scheme with $d\, \geq\, 1$. If $g\,=\, 2\, =\, d$, then we assume that $r\, >\, 1$.

Let $X'$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g'$, with $g'\,\geq\, 2$.
Fix positive integers $r'$ and $d'$. If $g'\,=\, 2\, =\, d'$, then we assume
that $r'\, >\, 1$. Let
$$
{\mathcal Q}'\, :=\, {\rm Quot}_{X'}({\mathcal O}^{\oplus r'}_{X'},d')
$$
be the Quot scheme parametrizing the torsion quotients of
${\mathcal O}^{\oplus r'}_{X'}$ of degree $d'$.

\begin{theorem}\label{thm2}
The complex manifolds ${\mathcal Q}$ and ${\mathcal Q}'$ are biholomorphic if and only
if the following conditions hold:
\begin{itemize}
\item $X$ is biholomorphic to $X'$,

\item $r\,=\,r'$, and

\item $d\,=\, d'$.
\end{itemize}
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
Assume that ${\mathcal Q}$ is biholomorphic to and ${\mathcal Q}'$.
We will show that the three conditions in the theorem hold.

Fix a maximal torus
$$
T_0\, \subset\, \text{Aut}^0({\mathcal Q})\, ,
$$
where $\text{Aut}^0({\mathcal Q})$, as before, is the connected component
the automorphism group of $\mathcal Q$ containing the identity element.
Consider the action of $T_0$ on ${\mathcal Q}$. Let $\beta$ be the minimum
value of the first Betti number of the connected components of the fixed point
locus ${\mathcal Q}^{T_0}$. take a connected component $M\, \subset\,
{\mathcal Q}^{T_0}$ such that
$$
b_1(M)\,=\, \beta\, .
$$
{}From Corollary \ref{cor-f} we know that $M\,=\, \text{Sym}^d(X)$.

First assume that at least one of the following two conditions holds:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\dim M \, \not=\, 2$

\item $b_1(M)\, \not=\, 4$.
\end{enumerate}

These conditions imply that $g\, >\, 2$ if $d\,=\,2$.
Fakhruddin proved that for any compact connected Riemann surface $Y$,
and for any positive integer $d$ such that $d\, \not=\, 2$ if
$\text{genus}(Y)\,=\, 2$, the isomorphism class of $\text{Sym}^d(Y)$
uniquely determines the isomorphism class of $Y$
\cite[Theorem 1]{fa}. From this we conclude that $X$ is isomorphic to $X'$.

Considering the dimension of $T_0$ we conclude that $r\,=\, r'$.
Considering the dimension of $\mathcal Q$ we conclude that $d\,=\, d'$.

Now consider the remaining case where
$$
\dim M \, =\, 2\,=\, \frac{b_1(M)}{2}\, .
$$
Note that these imply that $g\,=\, 2\, =\,d$. Hence $r\, \geq\, 2$ by
the assumption.

Let $\widetilde\beta$ is the maximum value of the
first Betti number of the connected components of the fixed point
locus ${\mathcal Q}^{T_0}$. Let $\widetilde{M}\, \subset\,{\mathcal Q}^{T_0}$ be
a connected component with
$$
b_1(\widetilde{M})\,=\, \widetilde\beta\, .
$$
{}From Proposition \ref{prop-f} and \eqref{b1} we know that
$\widetilde{M}\,=\, X\times X$.

Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact connected Riemann surfaces of genus two such that
$X\times X$ is isomorphic to $Y\times Y$. Fixing an isomorphism
$F\, :\, X\times X\,\longrightarrow\, Y\times Y$, consider the two maps
$$
X\, \longrightarrow\, Y\, , ~\ x\, \longmapsto\, f_i\circ F(x,x_0)\, ,
$$
where $f_i$ is the projection of $Y\times Y$ to the $i$-th factor. One of them
is a nonconstant map, hence it is an isomorphism. Therefore, the isomorphism
class of $X$ is uniquely determined by the isomorphism class of $X\times X$.
This completes the proof.
\end{proof}

COPS database forum: final report
Posted on Criminal justice, police powers and mental health by Nsw Council for Civil Liberties · February 11, 2016 3:34 PM
COPS Database Forum: October 21st 2015
On October 21st 2015, the NSW Council for Civil Liberties in conjunction with the Law Society of New South Wales held a forum on the Computerised Operational Policing System (COPS) database.
The panel comprised Jackson Rogers, the NSW Council for Civil Liberties' Convenor – Justice, Police & Mental Health Action Group (Chair); Camilla Pandolfini, Senior Solicitor at the Public Interest Advocacy Centre; David Porter, Senior Solicitor at the Redfern Legal Centre; and Chris Watson, barrister from Forbes Chambers.
The event was a great success, and discussion both within the panel and with the attending audience brought many issues to light about the functions and impacts of the COPS database including:
Can a person access information held about them on the COPS Database?
How do police make entries on the COPS database?
Are COPS Database entries used in criminal trials?
What about false entries in the Database?
Is the COPS Database just proactive policing, and is that not a good thing
What would be an appropriate oversight mechanism?

Joint CCLs call on Parliament to reject citizenship stripping Bill
Posted on National security and counter-terrorism by Lesley Lynch · November 21, 2015 6:01 PM
The Australian Citizenship Amendment (Allegiance to Australia) Bill 2015 has not yet been approved by parliament. The debate on the Bill is scheduled to resume next week. As Labor has indicated it will support the revised version of the Bill, it is almost certainly going to be approved quickly and probably without amendment.
As this is such a significant issue, the NSW, Victorian, Queensland and South Australian Councils for Civil Liberties and the Australian Council for Civil Liberties have issued a joint public statement making one last call on the Australian Parliament to abandon this misguided Bill.
Settlement awarded to Class Action on behalf of falsely imprisoned youth
Posted on Criminal justice, police powers and mental health by Nsw Council for Civil Liberties · October 01, 2015 2:43 PM
The NSWCCL, in partnership with the Law Society, is planning a forum on the recent COPS Database, and its implications for the public. Notable speakers from the police force and legal professsion are expected to host a conversation on many of the matters associated with the program. One of these is the recent settlement awarded to a class action lawsuit on behalf of young people who whose information was incorrectly entered into the database and resulted in wrongful arrest.
The parties to a class action on behalf of young people, run by The Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) and Maurice Blackburn, have reached a settlement of at least $1.85 million. The settlement is subject to final Court approval and paves the way for the young people affected to be properly compensated. The class action is on behalf of young people who were allegedly wrongfully imprisoned byNSW police as a result of problems with the NSW Police database.
You may be eligible for compensation if:
1. you faced charges in the Children's Court of New South Wales; and
2. you were arrested before 20 May 2014 by the New South Wales police for a breach of bail conditions; and
3. you weren't actually on bail at the time you were arrested, or you were on bail but not subject to the condition you were arrested for.

Submission to NHMRC concerning Assisted Reproduction Technology
Posted on Civil and human rights by Nsw Council for Civil Liberties · September 17, 2015 11:30 AM
The National Health and Medical Research Council has published draft ethical guidelines on the use of assisted reproduction technology in clinical practice and research.
Responding to an invitation to comment, the NSWCCL has made a submission that supports these draft guidelines, applauding the NHMRC for their support for the autonomy of all involved and their rights to detailed, accurate, contemporary and relevant information concerning the procedures, legal consequences and otherwise of their decisions.
Some questions for which further comment is requested of the NHMRC include, (1) Payment for the risks and labour involved in egg donation, (2) Sex selection on non-medical grounds, and (3) the potential establishment of an Australian egg bank.

The Australian Parliament should legislate for same sex marriage
Posted on Civil and human rights by Jo Murphy · August 19, 2015 1:35 PM
The last English speaking country remaining on the list.
The NSW CCL supports marriage equality and opposes holding a plebiscite or referendum on the issue. Peoples' rights and freedoms must not be subject to a vote of a majority of citizens.
A cross party bill supporting the legalisation of same-sex marriage was brought to the Australian Parliament as it resumed this week, forcing us to consider the question of marriage equality. Sadly in a marathon party-room debate last Tuesday night, the Coalition decided against granting its members of parliament a free vote on marriage equality before the general election, postponing the debate. Again. Australia is indeed the only English speaking country which has not (yet) legalised marriage for same sex couples.
2015 Annual Fundraising Dinner
Posted on NSWCCL news by Lesley Lynch · August 05, 2015 9:10 PM
The 2015 NSWCCL dinner last Friday was the largest such gathering in living memory – and certainly one of largest in our 52 years of dinners
The huge attendance (and the numbers turned away) reflects the intense public interest in hearing Professor Gillian Triggs speak about current threats to human rights, the rule of law in Australia and the AHRC's ' year of living dangerously'. It also reflects the determination within the community to defend the AHRC and its President from the unwarranted and extreme attacks by the Coalition Government and some members of the media throughout this year.
Professor Triggs did not disappoint. She gave a powerful and chilling analysis of executive government overreach and encroachment on fundamental rights and freedoms over recent years.
Probably even more disturbing was her critique of the recent failures of Parliament to protect these fundamental liberties, leading her to pose two very large questions for Australians:
What then are the safeguards of democratic liberties if Parliament itself is compliant and complicit in expanding executive power to the detriment of the judiciary and ultimately of all Australian citizens?
What are the options for democracy when both major parties, in government and opposition, agree upon laws that explicitly violate fundamental freedoms under the common law and breach Australia's obligations under international treaties?
Part of Gillian's address focussed on the controversial issue of the moment- the Government's proposal to strip dual citizens of their Australian Citizenship for certain actions deemed to justify such extreme punishment. she described this proposal as striking 'at the heart of Australia's successful migrant and multi-cultural nation and threatens social cohesion.'
(The deeply flawed Australian Citizenship Amendment (Allegiance to Australia) Bill 2015 is currently before Parliament. NSWCCL, with many others, opposes this bill and will, over coming weeks, continue our advocacy to members of parliament to reject the bill.)
The 429 people crammed into the restaurant made their appreciation of Gillian's speech clear both by applause and the hugely positive vibe for the rest of the evening. In summary, it was a tremendous evening and for the moment at least, there was a perverse mood of optimism within the very crowded room.
Ray Davison - a Gadigal man – opened the dinner with a warm and interesting 'welcome to country'.
Apart from the key note address, the gathering was treated to a lively summary of the state of affairs of civil liberties and the NSWCCL by President Stephen Blanks.
A welcome side benefit of the crowd and the mood was that our fundraising efforts were very successful- facilitated by a host of volunteers moving round the room and by a few very generous donors of auction and raffle items.

The Border Force Act seeks to block public scrutiny of Australia's dark detention network
Posted on Asylum seekers and refugees by Nsw Council for Civil Liberties · July 23, 2015 11:48 AM
The NSW Council for Civil Liberties is gravely concerned that doctors, teachers and social workers employed in Australia's immigration detention network could face jail for speaking out about their experiences.
With the Border Force Act 2015 coming into effect, employees working in various capacities face a two year sentence for recording or disclosing "protected information" they come into contact with as a result of their work.
As the Australian Medical Association and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians have noted, this restriction on free speech will prevent doctors from following their professional and ethical obligations to advocate on behalf of their patients.
"This legislation is particularly troubling given the history of poor care in immigration detention," says NSWCCL President Stephen Blanks.
"It is telling that doctors who have worked in these centres at the highest level have previously decided to go public with their concerns. Systemic failures have led to gross human rights violations.
"These public disclosures have put pressure on governments to improve conditions in the centres."
A steady flow of leaks to the media about sexual assaults in the Nauru detention centre eventually forced the Department of Immigration to order an independent review in October 2014. It found credible evidence of sexual assaults, which the government has now been forced to acknowledge and act upon.
"While forcing government action is one important outcome of such disclosures, it must also be remembered that the public has a right to know what is done in their name," says Blanks.
Detention centres have always been places lacking in public scrutiny where civil liberties are overlooked. Successive governments have made sure to keep the people detained out of public view, hiding the trauma and lasting damage indefinite detention inflicts.
While the CCL notes the assurances that the new Border Force Act will not cancel out existing safeguards in the Public Interest Disclosure Act, we are unconvinced this legislation is sufficient. It sets too high a bar for whistleblowers, and circumscribes too tightly the situations in which they may share information with the public.
Furthermore, the existence of this legislation is a danger even before any doctor, teacher, or humanitarian worker is dragged before a court. Its mere existence is a threat to would-be whistleblowers, an attempt to intimidate Australian workers who see something wrong into staying quiet about it.
We know that this government has a particularly ugly tendency to target those who try to bring abuses in detention centres to the public's attention, as seen by the unrelenting attacks on Australian Human Rights Commission President Gillian Triggs.
"Australia's immigration detention network has been made a dark place," says Stephen Blanks.
"With this new act, the government is trying to blot out the small rays of sunlight still getting in."
CCL calls for continuation of Custody Notification Service (CNS) funding
Posted on Civil and human rights by Nsw Council for Civil Liberties · June 11, 2015 12:04 PM
NSWCCL this week has written to Minister for Indigenous Affairs Nigel Scullion and the Prime Minister Tony Abbott calling for the Federal Government to continue its funding of the Custody Notification Service (CNS).
The CNS is a telephone hotline providing personal and legal advice to indigenous people taken into custody. Under NSW legislation it is compulsory for the Aboriginal Legal Service (ALS) to be notified if an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person is detained, and the CNS is the practical service that allows this to occur. Since its implementation, no indigenous deaths in custody have occurred in NSW/ACT.
CCL previously supported the campaign to 'Save the CNS' in 2013, and it is extremely disappointing that this essential notification service for indigenous people in custody is once again being threatened - particularly in the context of the recent report by Amnesty International that showed Australia incarcerates indigenous children at one of the highest rates in the developed world. It would reflect poorly on the Government's commitment to Closing the Gap and reversing the shameful over-representation of indigenous people in Australia's prisons if the CNS was to cease.

NSW Council for Civil Liberties condemns secrecy around TPP
Posted on Free speech, censorship, privacy and data retention by Nsw Council for Civil Liberties · June 05, 2015 3:48 PM
The NSW Council for Civil Liberties has condemned the secrecy surrounding negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement and the Trade In Services Agreement (TISA), and called on governments involved in the negotiations to release the full draft texts of the deals.
CCL President Stephen Blanks stated that "the draft agreements must be released immediately so that the Australian public can engage in a comprehensive debate about their proposals."
"The current generation of free trade agreements are being negotiated with a complete lack of democratic accountability, and have largely failed to consult non-corporate stakeholders," Blanks said.
But for leaked drafts released by Wikileaks, the Australian and global public would have no knowledge of the contents of these two agreements.
Guardian Australia revealed on Tuesday that Australian politicians have been told that they can view the TPP text, but must sign a non-disclosure agreement before doing so. DFAT public servants involved in the TPP negotiations have also been made to sign non-disclosure agreements.
Some of the leaked proposals from the TPP, particularly investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) clauses, as well as intellectual property and environmental regulatory changes, have provoked significant controversy in Australia and other countries involved in the negotiations.
The TISA documents, leaked on Thursday, show that the agreement would involve sweeping regulatory changes in the Australian finance, health, transport, telecommunications and e-commerce sectors.
Blanks said that the wide-reaching nature of the changes in the TPP and TISA made a rigorous public debate all the more important.
"We have serious concerns about the civil liberties implications of some of the specific measures in the TPP, like the potential criminalisation of copyright infringement," he said.
"But the drastic nature of many of the measures, regardless of one's position on them, makes a thorough and transparent debate in the parliament and civil society absolutely crucial."

In automation and AI, many see a jobless future and higher inequality. But the technologically driven shift should be welcomed, say Christopher Pissarides & Jacques Bughin
17th Jan 18, 10:06am
By Christopher Pissarides and Jacques Bughin*
Ever since early-nineteenth-century textile workers destroyed the mechanical looms that threatened their livelihoods, debates over automation have conjured gloom-and-doom scenarios about the future of work.
With another era of automation upon us, how nervous about the future of our own livelihoods should we be?
A recent report by the McKinsey Global Institute estimates that, depending on a country's level of development, advances in automation will require 3-14% of workers worldwide to change occupations or upgrade their skills by the year 2030. Already, about 10% of all jobs in Europe have disappeared since 1990 during the first wave of routine-based technological change. And with advances in artificial intelligence (AI), which affects a broader range of tasks, that share could double in the coming years.
Historically, job displacement has occurred in waves, first with the structural shift from agriculture to manufacturing, and then with the move from manufacturing to services. But throughout that process, productivity gains have been reinvested to create new innovations, jobs, and industries, driving economic growth as older, less productive jobs are replaced with more advanced occupations.
The internal combustion engine, for example, wiped out horse-drawn carriages, but gave rise to many new industries, from car dealerships to motels. In the 1980s, computers killed typewriters, but created a host of new occupations, from call-center service representatives to software developers.
Because the far-reaching economic and social benefits of new technologies tend to receive less attention than job losses, it is worth noting that automation technologies are already demonstrating a capacity to improve lives. This past November, Stanford University researchers showed that an AI system outperforms expert radiologists in detecting pneumonia from lung X-rays.
In an era of stalled productivity growth and declining working-age populations in China, Germany, and elsewhere, automation could provide a badly needed economic boost. Higher productivity implies faster economic growth, more consumer spending, increased labour demand, and thus greater job creation.
Nonetheless, any discussion about AI-based automation must also take public anxieties into account. Even though new occupations will likely replace those lost to automation, wages may take time to catch up to the reality of higher labour productivity.
In the early nineteenth century, wages stagnated for almost 50 years before picking up again. That may have been an extreme situation. But for lower-skilled workers, the transition underway today could prove just as wrenching. With fears of increased inequality already growing, governments will need to rethink policies for providing income and job-transition support to displaced workers.
Looking ahead, policymakers and businesses should keep five imperatives in mind. The first is to embrace AI and automation without hesitation. Even if it were possible to slow the pace of change, succumbing to that temptation would be a mistake. Owing to the effects of global competition, hampering technological diffusion in one domain would simply dampen overall prosperity. In fact, we recently estimated that northern European economies could lose 0.5 percentage points of annual GDP growth if they do not keep pace with their neighbors in adopting AI.
The second imperative is to equip workers with the right skills. Future-of-work debates often overlook the question of how the labour market will evolve and either improve or exacerbate the skills mismatch that is already acute in developed countries. According to recent OECD research as much as one-third of workers in advanced economies are either underutilised or unable to handle their current duties.
The jobs of the future will require not just more cognitive skills, but also more creativity and social skills, such as coaching. We estimate that, unless workers' skill sets are upgraded, today's mismatch could double in severity within ten years, resulting in major productivity losses and higher levels of inequality.
Upgrading skills on a large scale will require coordination among parents, educators, governments, employers, and employees, with a focus on lower-skilled individuals. Unfortunately, in the past two decades, public spending on labour markets, relative to GDP, has declined by 0.5 percentage points in the United States, and by more than three percentage points in Canada, Germany, and Scandinavia.
The third imperative is to focus on augmented-labour opportunities. Unlike older industrial robots, newer technologies can interact safely and efficiently with humans, who sometimes need to train them and will increasingly have to work seamlessly with algorithms and machines. For example, a doctor's practice will be greatly enhanced by diagnostic algorithms. Policymakers and businesses should seek to maximise this kind of complementarity across all sectors.
Fourth, businesses will need to innovate and capitalise on new market opportunities at the same pace that human tasks are being replaced. For example, in the first wave of robotics, countries such as Germany and Sweden displaced auto-sector jobs by adopting CAD (computer-aided design) robots; but they simultaneously brought other jobs back from Asia, and even created new downstream jobs in electronics. Similarly, AI offers countless opportunities for innovation and tapping into global value chains. By seizing these opportunities quickly, we can ensure a smoother transition from old to new jobs.
Finally, it is imperative that we reinvest AI-driven productivity gains in as many economic sectors as possible. Such reinvestment is the primary reason why technological change has benefited employment in the past. But without a strong local AI ecosystem, today's productivity gains may not be reinvested in a way that fuels spending and boosts demand for labour. Policymakers urgently need to ensure that strong incentives for reinvestment are in place.
Automation has been given a bad rap as a job killer. Nevertheless, to ensure that its benefits outweigh its potential disruptions, private- and public-sector actors must exercise strong joint leadership – and keep the five imperatives for the new age of automation at the top of the agenda.

It seems unfair that nobody has commented on your article yet. I don't think you have said anything that hasn't already been said by others,such as Brynjolfsson and McFee in The Second Machine Age, or by Friedman in Thank You For being Late. However,that does not take away from the force of your case,or the difficulties in implementing your 5 imperatives. Thus,while some companies will be very proactive in enabling employees to enhance their skills,companies like AT&T,many others will not.
I think this will be a major drag on NZ's economy,given our poor productivity record and our slipping educational standards.

Margaret Meadová (16. prosince 1901 Philadelphia – 15. listopadu 1978 New York) byla americká antropoložka. Byla žačkou Franze Boase. Slavné jsou její terénní výzkumy na Samoy v Polynésii, kde se snažila dokázat ideu kulturního determinismu. Kromě toho pracovala v Melanésii, kam se opakovaně vracela, dále v Indonésii a mezi nativním obyvatelstvem Severní Ameriky, konkrétně u Omahů.

Biografie
Měla tři sourozence, ona byla nejstarší. Rodiče byli učitelé. V roce 1919 nastoupila na DePauw University, za rok přešla na Barnard College, kde studovala ekonomii a sociologii. Zde však potkala Franze Boase a jeho asistentku Ruth Benedictovou, kteří ji přitáhli k antropologii. Na postgraduálním studiu využila možnost odjet na Samou a provést zde výzkum dospívajících domorodých dívek z kmene Manu. Jejím cílem bylo tyto dívky srovnat s dospívajícími dívkami v USA. Při tomto výzkumu nabyla přesvědčení, že osobnost formuje především kultura.

V roce 1931 se vydala k dalšímu výzkumu na Novou Guineu. Pozorovala Arapeše, později kultury Mundugumor a Tčambuli. Tehdy ji zajímaly především pohlavní role. To jí umožnilo zaútočit na v té době na západě stále ještě převládající představy o "přirozené" roli muže nebo ženy. Zjistila totiž, že modely uspořádání pohlavních rolí jsou u domorodých kultur velice různorodé. Arapešská kultura byla například založena na rovnosti mužů a žen, obě pohlaví se zde podílela na výchově dětí. Naopak u kmene Mundugumor byla výchova zanedbávána oběma pohlavími, ženy i muži pak byli v dospělosti velmi agresivní. U kmene Tčembuli viděla zase opak tradičního západního modelu: muži se starali o domácnost a byli mírní, zatímco ženy vládly a byly velmi aktivní. Tento dojem si potvrdila na Bali. Její studie poté silně ovlivnily feminismus. Meadová také získala přesvědčení, že se západní kultura může od přírodních národů leccos naučit a tyto názory poté na západě šířila a ovlivnila tím zejména atmosféru 60. let.

Celoživotně působila v Americkém přírodovědném muzeu v New Yorku (American Museum of Natural History).

Napsala 44 knih a víc než 1000 článků. Posmrtně jí byla udělena Prezidentská medaile svobody.

V letech 1936–1951 byl manželem Meadové antropolog a kybernetik Gregory Bateson. Jejím milencem byl též známý lingvista Edward Sapir. Její sestra Priscilla Ann "Pam" Meadová (1911–1959) se v roce 1935 provdala za Leo Rostena, spisovatele židovského původu (rozvod 1959).

Just turned down a $75k/year job offer to teach a third year because I love what I do and I'm not finished yet.
I once heard a clip of a commencement speech, delivered at MIT a few years ago by one of the founders of Dropbox. He talked about the idea of the tennis ball. and how we all need to find our own personal tennis ball.
Think about a dog chasing a tennis ball. He is single-minded. Tenacious. He's excited and he won't quit til he makes it happen.
The MIT guy said that we all need to find that one thing that speeds up our hearts and makes us feel alive. For me, it's teaching, and education, and maybe a position in instructional leadership. I'd be a fool to walk away from that.
God's calling for you is where your heart's deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.
I'm sold. Maybe someday I'll become an instructional coach or a dean of instruction or a director of academics or maybe I'll stay a teacher forever, but for now, I feel at peace.

Thailand police struggle to locate fugitive Red Bull heir Vorayuth
Vorayuth Yoovidhya reportedly fled to Singapore before an arrest warrant was issued for him over a hit-and-run incident in 2012. PHOTO: EPA
May 3, 2017, 3:09 pm SGT
http://str.sg/422Z
BANGKOK (AFP) - Thai police said on Wednesday (May 3) they were trying to locate Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya who reportedly fled to Singapore on his private jet days before a warrant was issued for him over a fatal hit-and-run in 2012.
After years of dodging prosecutors, 32-year-old billionaire Vorayuth has become a poster child for the impunity enjoyed by elites in starkly unequal Thailand.
Authorities finally issued an arrest warrant for the scion last week after he failed to make a final deadline to meet prosecutors - nearly five years after he sped off after mowing down and killing a policeman with his Ferrari in downtown Bangkok.
But Vorayuth, known by his nickname "Boss", slipped out of the country just days before the warrant was issued, according to police.
"First we have to locate him and then we have to go from there. If we can't locate him then we can't do the next step," deputy national police spokesman Colonel Krissana Pattanacharoen told AFP.
Immigration officers told local media Vorayuth left for Singapore on his private jet on April 25.
Police are seeking to confirm whether he is still there. The two countries do not have an extradition treaty.
Col Krissana said investigators were seeking to have his Thai passport revoked.

"We have contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to see if it's possible to revoke his passport," he said.
Ministry spokesman Busadee Santipitaks told AFP: "We have not received any formal communication but stand ready to cooperate with law enforcement agencies."
Several charges against Vorayuth have expired during the lapse between the car crash and his arrest warrant, a period that saw the heir continue to lead a lavish, jet-setting lifestyle with frequent stops in the kingdom.
But he still faces up to 10 years in prison for reckless driving that resulted in death, an offence that will be valid until 2027.
Vorayuth's billionaire clan has inherited the fortune built up by his grandfather Chaleo Yoovidhya, who co-founded the Red Bull brand with Austrian Dietrich Mateschitz in the 1980s.
Mr Chaleo passed away in March 2012, leaving his family some US$22 billion (S$30.67 billion) and control of more than 50 per cent of the energy drink empire, according to Bloomberg.

Wolfgang Pohrt (* 5. Mai 1945; † 21. Dezember 2018) war ein deutscher Sozialwissenschaftler und politischer Publizist.

Leben
Pohrt studierte Soziologie, Psychologie, Politik und Volkswirtschaftslehre in Frankfurt am Main und Berlin. 1976 erschien in der Frankfurter Syndikat Autoren- und Verlagsgesellschaft seine Dissertation Theorie des Gebrauchswerts oder über die Vergänglichkeit der historischen Voraussetzungen, unter denen allein das Kapital Gebrauchswert setzt, mit der er an der Universität Bremen zum Dr. phil. promoviert worden war. Von 1974 bis 1980 war er Assistent am Lehrstuhl für Soziologie an der Hochschule Lüneburg.

Von 1980 bis 1987 arbeitete Wolfgang Pohrt als freier Publizist. In dieser Zeit entstanden zahlreiche Beiträge für Rundfunksender (DLF, WDR, SFB, SWF, NDR) sowie Zeitungen und Zeitschriften (die tageszeitung, konkret, Frankfurter Rundschau, Die Zeit, Der Spiegel, Kursbuch, Die Wochenzeitung/Zürich, Express/Wien, Telos/St. Louis, International Herald Tribune/Paris)

1988 bis 1990 war Pohrt nach Eigenaussage "bei einem kleinen gewerblichen Institut … Universaltalent für Berichteschreiben, Datenauswertung, Fragebogenkonstruktion und vieles mehr"; dazu gehörten u. a. Umfragen in Großsiedlungen, bei Jugendlichen, Kindern und Ausländern.

Anschließend führte er von 1990 bis 1994 im Auftrag der Hamburger Stiftung zur Förderung von Wissenschaft und Kultur (1984 von Jan Philipp Reemtsma gegründet) als "gesellschaftstheoretisierender Privatier" (Pohrt) ein Forschungsprojekt mit dem Titel Massenbewusstsein in der Umbruchsphase durch; methodisches Vorbild war The Authoritarian Personality von Theodor W. Adorno u. a. Die Ergebnisse dieser Forschungsbemühungen erschienen in drei Bänden: Der Weg zur inneren Einheit. Elemente des Massenbewußtseins BRD 1990 (Konkret Literatur Verlag 1991); Das Jahr danach. Ein Bericht über die Vorkriegszeit (Edition Tiamat 1992); Harte Zeiten. Neues vom Dauerzustand (Edition Tiamat 1994).

Von 1994 bis 1995 folgten Projektarbeit und Begleitforschungsorganisation (Multimedia, E-Commerce, Video-on-Demand) bei der Akademie für Technikfolgenabschätzung, Stuttgart. Von 1995 bis 1996 war er erneut bei der Hamburger Stiftung zur Förderung von Wissenschaft und Kultur tätig; diesmal mit Forschungen zur Bandenbildung. Von 1998 bis 2000 war Pohrt innerhalb eines Projekts mit Umfragen unter Jugendhausbesuchern und Stichprobenerhebungen in einem größeren Stadtgebiet befasst.

Von 2000 bis 2002 betreute er an der Fachhochschule Ludwigsburg, einer Hochschule für öffentliche Verwaltung und Finanzen, Projekte zu Wissensmanagement, Content-Management und Unternehmenskultur. Zugleich hatte er einen Lehrauftrag an der Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart und beschäftigte sich mit Wissensmanagement in der öffentlichen Verwaltung. Ab Anfang 2004 war Pohrt Betreiber der Ich-AG "Sozialwissenschaftlicher Service Dr. Wolfgang Pohrt", die Umfragen, Evaluationen und dergleichen anbot. Diese Ich-AG wurde nach einiger Zeit wieder aufgelöst.

Pohrt starb im Dezember 2018 im Alter von 73 Jahren an den Folgen eines Schlaganfalls, auf Grund dessen er sich 2014 ganz aus der Öffentlichkeit zurückgezogen hatte. Bereits seit dem Tod seiner Frau 2004 war er außer mit Büchern kaum noch öffentlich in Erscheinung getreten.

Der kleine Berliner Verlag Edition Tiamat, bei dem Pohrt seit 1984 fast alle seine Bücher publizierte, ersuchte seit Mai 2019 um Subskriptionen für eine elfbändige Pohrt-Werkausgabe mit halbjährlicher Erscheinungsweise. Im Januar 2023 erschien der Brief-Band, der die übrigen zehn Bücher mit Pohrts Werke ergänzt, damit wurden die vergriffenen Titel wieder zugänglich gemacht.

Kontroversen
Wolfgang Pohrt sah in den 1980er- und frühen 1990er-Jahren antisemitische und antiamerikanische Tendenzen in der deutschen Linken, was ein zentrales Motiv seiner Schriften in dieser Zeit war. Bereits mit dem Artikel Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Frieden, der in der Zeit vom 30. Oktober 1981 erschien, warf er der Friedensbewegung Antiamerikanismus vor und bezeichnete sie polemisch als "deutschnationale Erweckungsbewegung". Er zitierte in diesem Beitrag Beispiele für die Weiterverwendung antiamerikanischer, antikapitalistischer und antisemitischer nationalsozialistischer Sprach- und Argumentationsmuster durch Teile der Friedensbewegung.

Eine Anthologie über das Verhältnis der deutschen Linken zum Antisemitismus regte Pohrt an, als Alice Schwarzer den Journalisten Henryk M. Broder als "militanten Juden" bezeichnete und den Mitarbeitern der Emma jeglichen Umgang mit Broder verbot. Die von Pohrt geplante Anthologie kam jedoch nicht zustande.

Kontroversen löste Pohrts Haltung zum Zweiten Golfkrieg 1991 aus. Damals plädierte er in einem Artikel der Zeitschrift konkret (3/91) dafür, dass Israel irakische Giftgasattacken gegebenenfalls mit der Atombombe beantworten solle.

Für erneute Kontroversen sorgte sein Auftritt am 30. September 2003, im Vorfeld des 13. Jahrestages der Deutschen Wiedervereinigung, auf einer Podiumsdiskussion zusammen mit Henryk M. Broder, zu der das Berliner Bündnis gegen Antisemitismus und Antizionismus geladen hatte. Dort vertrat Pohrt die Ansicht, dass die Gefahren von Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Antisemitismus in Deutschland "von allen Medienkonzernen und überhaupt allen einflussreichen Gruppen" aufgebauscht würden, "mit dem Zweck, später unbehelligt die sogenannte Agenda 2010 durchziehen zu können, ein Programm zur Verelendung der Armen". Sein Resümee in dieser Frage lautete: "Menschen brauchen soziale Kontrolle, und für die Ausländer in Deutschland gibt es davon derzeit zu wenig." Auch die Renaissance eines aggressiven deutschen Nationalstaates wurde von Pohrt bestritten: Die Deutschen wären dazu gar nicht in der Lage, da sie sich aufgrund ihrer Altersstruktur vielmehr um Rente und Zahnersatz kümmern müssten. Infolge der Diskussion seines Berliner Auftritts entstand Pohrts Buch FAQ, in dem er sich – zwischenzeitlich von Robert Kurz als "antideutscher Turnvater" bezeichnet – von den Antideutschen distanziert. Nicht mehr Rassismus und Antisemitismus seien mittlerweile Konsens, sondern deren Kritik. Die staatliche Förderung dieser Kritik diene dazu, die soziale Frage zu verschleiern.
