Moduli of rank two semistable sheaves on rational Fano threefolds of the main series

In this paper we investigate the moduli spaces of semistable coherent sheaves of rank two on the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$ and the following rational Fano manifolds of the main series - the three-dimensional quadric $X_2$, the intersection of two 4-dimensional quadrics $X_4$ and the Fano manifold $X_5$ of degree 5. For the quadric $X_2$, the boundedness of the third Chern class $c_3$ of rank two semistable objects in $\mathrm{D}^b(X_2)$, including sheaves, is proved. An explicit description is given of all the moduli spaces of semistable sheaves of rank two on $X_2$, including reflexive ones, with a maximal third class $c_3\ge0$. These spaces turn out to be irreducible smooth rational manifolds in all cases, except for the following two: $(c_1,c_2,c_3)=(0,2,2)$ or (0,4,8). Several new infinite series of rational components of the moduli spaces of semistable sheaves of rank two on $\mathbb{P}^3$, $X_2$, $X_4$ and $X_5$ are constructed, as well as a new infinite series of irrational components on $X_4$. The boundedness of the class $c_3$ is proved for $c_1=0$ and any $c_2>0$ for stable reflexive sheaves of general type on manifolds $X_4$ and $X_5$.

Non-split superstrings of dimension $(1|2)$

Any supermanifold diffeomorphic to one whose structure sheaf is the sheaf of sections of a~vector bundle over the underlying manifold is called split. Gawȩdzki (1977) and Batchelor (1979) were the first to prove that any smooth supermanifold is split. In 1981, P.~Green, and Palamodov, found examples of non-split analytic supermanifolds and described obstructions to splitness that were further studied by Manin (resp. Onishchik with his students) following Palamodov's (resp. Green's) approach. Following Palamodov, Donagi and Witten demonstrated that some of the moduli supervarieties of superstring theories are non-split. None of the above-mentioned authors considered odd parameters of supervarieties of obstructions to non-splitness. Here, using Palamodov's approach, we classify and describe the even (degree-2) and the odd (degree-1) obstructions to splitness of $(1|2)$-dimensional superstrings. In particular, we correct calculations of degree-2 obstructions due to Bunegina and Onishchik and confirm Manin's answer.

Irreducible components of the moduli space of rank 2 sheaves of odd determinant on the projective space

We describe new irreducible components of the moduli space of rank $2$ semistable torsion free sheaves on the three-dimensional projective space whose generic point corresponds to non-locally free sheaves whose singular locus is either 0-dimensional or consists of a line plus disjoint points. In particular, we prove that the moduli spaces of semistable sheaves with Chern classes $(c_1,c_2,c_3)=(-1,2n,0)$ and $(c_1,c_2,c_3)=(0,n,0)$ always contain at least one rational irreducible component. As an application, we prove that the number of such components grows as the second Chern class grows, and compute the exact number of irreducible components of the moduli spaces of rank 2 semistable torsion free sheaves with Chern classes $(c_1,c_2,c_3)=(-1,2,m)$ for all possible values for $m$; all components turn out to be rational. Furthermore, we also prove that these moduli spaces are connected, showing that some of sheaves here considered are smoothable.

Semistable rank 2 sheaves with singularities of mixed dimension on $\mathbb{P}^3$

We describe new irreducible components of the Gieseker-Maruyama moduli scheme $\mathcal{M}(3)$ of semistable rank 2 coherent sheaves with Chern classes $c_1=0,\ c_2=3,\ c_3=0$ on $\mathbb{P}^3$, general points of which correspond to sheaves whose singular loci contain components of dimensions both 0 and 1. These sheaves are produced by elementary transformations of stable reflexive rank 2 sheaves with $c_1=0,\ c_2=2,\ c_3=2$ or 4 along a disjoint union of a projective line and a collection of points in $\mathbb{P}^3$. The constructed families of sheaves provide first examples of irreducible components of the Gieseker-Maruyama moduli scheme such that their general sheaves have singularities of mixed dimension.

Moduli spaces of rank 2 instanton sheaves on the projective space

We study the irreducible components of the moduli space of instanton sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^3$, that is rank 2 torsion free sheaves $E$ with $c_1(E)=c_3(E)=0$ satisfying $h^1(E(-2))=h^2(E(-2))=0$. In particular, we classify all instanton sheaves with $c_2(E)\le4$, describing all the irreducible components of their moduli space. A key ingredient for our argument is the study of the moduli space ${\mathcal T}(d)$ of stable sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^3$ with Hilbert polynomial $P(t)=d\cdot t$, which contains, as an open subset, the moduli space of rank 0 instanton sheaves of multiplicity $d$; we describe all the irreducible components of ${\mathcal T}(d)$ for $d\le4$.

Two infinite series of moduli spaces of rank 2 sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^3$

We describe new components of the Gieseker--Maruyama moduli scheme $\mathcal{M}(n)$ of semistable rank 2 sheaves $E$ on $\mathbb{P}^3$ with $c_1(E)=0$, $c_2(E)=n$ and $c_3(E)=0$ whose generic point corresponds to non locally free sheaves. We show that such components grow in number as $n$ grows, and discuss how they intersect the instanton component. As an application, we prove that $\mathcal{M}(2)$ is connected, and identify a connected subscheme of $\mathcal{M}(3)$ consisting of 7 irreducible components.

New divisors in the boundary of the instanton moduli space

Let ${\mathcal I}(n)$ denote the moduli space of rank $2$ instanton bundles of charge $n$ on ${\mathbb P}^3$. We know from several authors that ${\mathcal I}(n)$ is an irreducible, nonsingular and affine variety of dimension $8n-3$. Since every rank $2$ instanton bundle on ${\mathbb P}^3$ is stable, we may regard ${\mathcal I}(n)$ as an open subset of the projective Gieseker--Maruyama moduli scheme ${\mathcal M}(n)$ of rank $2$ semistable torsion free sheaves $F$ on ${\mathbb P}^3$ with Chern classes $c_1=c_3=0$ and $c_2=n$, and consider the closure $\overline{{\mathcal I}(n)}$ of ${\mathcal I}(n)$ in ${\mathcal M}(n)$. We construct some of the irreducible components of dimension $8n-4$ of the boundary $\partial{\mathcal I}(n):=\overline{{\mathcal I}(n)}\setminus{\mathcal I}(n)$. These components generically lie in the smooth locus of ${\mathcal M}(n)$ and consist of rank $2$ torsion free instanton sheaves with singularities along rational curves.

On the Barth-Van de Ven-Tyurin-Sato theorem

The Barth-Van de Ven-Tyurin-Sato Theorem claims that any finite rank vector bundle on the infinite complex projective space $\mathbf{P}^\infty$ is isomorphic to a direct sum of line bundles. We establish sufficient conditions on a locally complete linear ind-variety $\mathbf{X}$ which ensure that the same result holds on $\mathbf{X}$. We then exhibit natural classes of locally complete linear ind-varieties which satisfy these sufficient conditions. Keywords: ind-variety, vector bundle

Linear ind-Grassmannians

We consider ind-varieties obtained as direct limits of chains of embeddings $X_1\stackrel{ϕ_1}{\hookrightarrow}\dots\stackrel{ϕ_{m-1}}{\hookrightarrow} X_m\stackrel{ϕ_m}{\hookrightarrow}X_{m+1}\stackrel{ϕ_{m+1}}{\hookrightarrow}\dots$, where each $X_m$ is a Grassmannian or an isotropic Grassmannian (possibly mixing Grassmannians and isotropic Grassmannians), and the embeddings $ϕ_m$ are linear in the sense that they induce isomorphisms of Picard groups. We prove that any such ind-variety is isomorphic to one of certain standard ind-Grassmannians and that the latter are pairwise non-isomorphic ind-varieties.

Moduli of mathematical instanton vector bundles with odd c_2 on projective space

The problem of irreducibility of the moduli space I_n of rank-2 mathematical instanton vector bundles with arbitrary positive second Chern class n on the projective 3-space is considered. The irreducibility of I_n was known for small values of n: Barth 1977 (n=1), Hartshorne 1978 (n=2), Ellingsrud and Stromme 1981 (n=3), Barth 1981 (n=4), Coanda, Tikhomirov and Trautmann 2003 (n=5). In this paper we prove the irreducibility of I_n for an arbitrary odd n.

Rank 2 vector bundles on ind-Grassmannians

The simplest example of an ind-Grassmannian is the infinite projective space $\mathbf P^\infty$. The Barth-Van de Ven-Tyurin (BVT) Theorem, proved more than 30 years ago \cite{BV}, \cite{T}, \cite{Sa} (see also a recent proof by A. Coandă and G. Trautmann, \cite{CT}), claims that any vector bundle of finite rank on $\mathbf P^\infty$ is isomorphic to a direct sum of line bundles. In the last decade natural examples of infinite flag varieties (or flag ind-varieties) have arisen as homogeneous spaces of locally linear ind-groups, \cite{DPW}, \cite{DiP}. In the present paper we concentrate our attention to the special case of ind-Grassmannians, i.e. to inductive limits of Grassmannians of growing dimension.

Triviality of vector bundles on sufficiently twisted ind-Grassmannians

Twisted ind-Grassmannians are ind-varieties $\GG$ obtained as direct limits of Grassmannians $G(r_m,V^{r_m})$, for $m\in\ZZ_{>0}$, under embeddings $ϕ_m:G(r_m,V^{r_m})\to G(r_{m+1}, V^{r_{m+1}})$ of degree greater than one. It has been conjectured in \cite{PT} and \cite{DP} that any vector bundle of finite rank on a twisted ind-Grassmannian is trivial. We prove this conjecture under the assumption that the ind-Grassmannian $\GG$ is sufficiently twisted, i.e. that $\lim_{m\to\infty}\frac{r_m}{°ϕ_1...\degϕ_m}=0$.
