Abstract

We give an upper bound on the dimension of the Hilbert scheme of quotients of an arbitrary vector bundle on a smooth projective curve, depending on the minimal degree of such a quotient. The bound is used for deriving effective base point freeness statements for generalized theta linear series on moduli spaces of vector bundles.
