Construction of the Moduli Space of Vector Bundles on an Orbifold Curve

Abstract
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of any characteristic, and let $(X,P)$ be an orbifold curve over $k$. We construct the moduli space $\mathrm{M}_{(X,P)}^{\mathrm{ss}}(n, Δ)$ of $P$-semistable bundles on $(X,P)$ of rank $n$ and determinant $Δ$. In the characteristic zero case, this result is well known and follows from GIT techniques. Our construction follows a different approach inspired by a GIT-free construction of Faltings. We show that when the moduli space is non-empty, it is a finite disjoint union of irreducible projective varieties.
