Abstract

We determine the integral Chow and cohomology rings of the moduli stack $\mathcal {B}_{r,d}$ of rank r, degree d vector bundles on $\mathbb {P}^1$ -bundles. We work over a field k of arbitrary characteristic. We first show that the rational Chow ring $A_{\mathbb {Q}}^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$ is a free $\mathbb {Q}$ -algebra on $2r+1$ generators. The isomorphism class of this ring happens to be independent of d. Then, we prove that the integral Chow ring $A^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$ is torsion-free and provide multiplicative generators for $A^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$ as a subring of $A_{\mathbb {Q}}^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$ . From this description, we see that $A^*(\mathcal {B}_{r,d})$ is not finitely generated as a $\mathbb {Z}$ -algebra. Finally, when $k = \mathbb {C}$ , the cohomology ring of $\mathcal {B}_{r,d}$ is isomorphic to its Chow ring.
