In this paper we show that the relative canonical sheaf of a relatively minimal fibration of curves over a curve is semi-ample ; in fact, its m-tensored product is base point free for any m > 1. We use Koszul cohomology with it to prove that the relative canonical ring of the fibration is generated in degree up to five.
In this paper we define tensor modules(sheaves) of Schur type,or of generalized Schur type associated with the give module(sheaf), using the so-called Schur functors. Then using global method we construct canonical homomorphisms between these modules(sheaves). We will get canonical isomorphisms if the original sheaf is locally free using idea of algebraic geometry, which is in fact a generalization of result in linear algebra. In the final section, we give canonical complexes using homomorphisms constructed before, and these complexes will become split exact sequence if further condition holds…
The purpose of this short note is to give a remark on the decomposition theorem for direct images of canonical sheaves tensorized with Nakano semipositive vector bundles. Although our result is a direct consequence of Takegoshi's work, it was not stated explicitly in his article. Here we give the precise statement and the proof.
Given a smooth projective variety over a perfect field of positive characteristic, we prove that the higher cohomologies vanish for the tensor product of the Witt canonical sheaf and the Teichmuller lift of an ample invertible sheaf. We also give a generalisation of this vanishing theorem to one of Kawamata-Viehweg type.
In this article, we will characterize the multiplier ideal sheaves with weights of log canonical threshold one by restricting the weights to complex regular surface.
We investigate sheaves supported on the zero section of the total space of a locally-free sheaf E on a smooth, projective variety X when the top exterior power of E is isomorphic to the canonical bundle of X. We rephrase this construction using the language of A-infinity algebra and provide a simple characterisation of the case E is simply the canonical bundle itself.
We develop a theory of general sheaves over weighted projective lines. We define and study a canonical decomposition, analogous to Kac's canonical decomposition for representations of quivers, study subsheaves of a general sheaf, general ranks of morphisms, and prove analogues of Schofield's results on general representations of quivers. Using these, we give a recursive algorithm for computing properties of general sheaves. Many of our results are proved in a more abstract setting, involving a hereditary abelian category.
Let $H$ be an ample line bundle on a non-singular projective surface $X$, and $M(H)$ the coarse moduli scheme of rank-two $H$-semistable sheaves with fixed Chern classes on $X$. We show that if $H$ changes and passes through walls to get closer to $K_X$, then $M(H)$ undergoes natural flips with respect to canonical divisors. When $X$ is minimal and its Kodaira dimension is positive, this sequence of flips terminates in $M(H_X)$; $H_X$ is an ample line bundle lying so closely to $K_X$ that the canonical divisor of $M(H_X)$ is nef. Remark that so-called Thaddeus-type flips somewhat differ from f…
In this note, we show that the canonical orientation data on the quiver hearts are compatible under the autoequivalence $\_\otimesπ^*O(1)$, and hence glue to give an orientation data for the stack of coherent sheaves on local P2.
Let M be a projective fine moduli space of stable sheaves on a smooth projective variety X with a universal family E. We prove that in four examples, E can be realized as a complete flat family of stable sheaves on M parametrized by X, which identifies X with a smooth connected component of some moduli space of stable sheaves on M.
Let $F$ be a torsionfree semistable coherent sheaf on a polarized normal projective variety. We prove that $F$ has a unique maximal locally free subsheaf $V$ such that $F/V$ is torsionfree and $V$ admits a filtration of subbundles for which each successive quotient is stable whose slope is $μ(F)$. We also prove that $F$ has a unique maximal reflexive subsheaf $W$ such that $F/W$ is torsionfree and $W$ admits a filtration of subsheaves for which each successive quotient is a stable reflexive sheaf whose slope is $μ(F)$. We show that these canonical subsheaves behave well with respect to the pul…
We prove a theorem on how a conclusion on homological dimension of a family of coherent sheaves over a scheme can be done from homological dimension of the restriction of this family to the reduction of the base.
For a characteristic $p > 0$ variety $X$ with controlled $F$-singularities, we state conditions which imply that a divisorial sheaf is Cohen-Macaulay or at least has depth $\geq 3$ at certain points. This mirrors results of Kollár for varieties in characteristic zero. As an application, we show that that relative canonical sheaves are compatible with arbitrary base change for certain families with sharply $F$-pure fibers.
In the first part of the paper Beilinson's theorem on the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on P^n is extended to weighted projective spaces in a rather explicit form. To this purpose the usual category of coherent sheaves is replaced by a suitable category of graded sheaves, and a more general theory of graded schemes is developed. In the second part of the paper the weighted version of Beilinson's theorem is applied to prove a structure theorem for certain canonical projections of surfaces of general type into a 3-dimensional weighted projective space. This result (which generaliz…
Some coherent sheaves on projective varieties have a non reduced versal deformation space. For example, this is the case for most unstable rank 2 vector bundles on ${\mathbb P}_2$. In particular, it may happen that some moduli spaces of stable sheaves are non reduced. We consider the case of some sheaves on ribbons (double structures on smooth projective curves): the quasi locally free sheaves of rigid type. Le $E$ be such a sheaf. -- Let ${\mathcal E}$ be a flat family of sheaves containing $E$. We find that it is a reduced deformation of $E$ when some canonical family associated to ${\mathca…
Let $X$ be an elliptic surface over ${\bf P}^1$ with $κ(X)=1$, and $M=M(c_2)$ be the moduli scheme of rank-two stable sheaves $E$ on $X$ with $(c_1(E),c_2(E))=(0,c_2)$ in $\operatorname{Pic}(X)\times\mathbb{Z}$. We look into defining equations of $M$ at its singularity $E$, partly because if $M$ admits only canonical singularities, then the Kodaira dimension $κ(M)$ can be calculated. We show the following. (A) $E$ is at worst canonical singularity of $M$ if the restriction of $E_η$ to the generic fiber of $X$ has no rank-one subsheaf, and if the number of multiple fibers of $X$ is a few. (B) W…
Sheaves on non-reduced curves can appear in moduli space of 1-dimensional semistable sheaves over a surface, and moduli space of Higgs bundles as well. We estimate the dimension of the stack $\mathbf{M}_{X}(nC,χ)$ of pure sheaves supported at the non-reduced curve $nC~(n\geq 2)$ with $C$ an integral curve on $X$. We prove that the Hilbert-Chow morphism $h_{L,χ}:\mathcal{M}^H_X(L,χ)\rightarrow |L|$ sending each semistable 1-dimensional sheaf to its support have all its fibers of the same dimension for $X$ Fano or with trivial canonical line bundle and $|L|$ contains integral curves.
Consider a smooth projective family of canonically polarized complex manifolds over a smooth quasi-projective complex base U, and suppose the family is non-isotrivial. If Y is a smooth compactification of U, such that D := Y U is a simple normal crossing divisor, then we can consider the sheaf of differentials with logarithmic poles along D. Viehweg and Zuo have shown that for some number m>0, the m-th symmetric power of this sheaf admits many sections. More precisely, the m-th symmetric power contains an invertible sheaf whose Kodaira-Iitaka dimension is at least the variation of the family. …
This paper is a sequel (and contains a better treatment) of math.QA/0404032; We construct some canonical bases for quantum toroidal algebras of types D_4, E_6, E_7, E_8 using perverse sheaves on quot schemes parametrizing equivariant coherent sheaves on elliptic curves. We also study some compatibility properties of these bases with some natural filtrations and modules.
In this paper we calculate genaral n-canonical divisors on smoothable semi-log-terminal singularities in dimension 2, in other words, the full sheaves associated to the double dual of the nth tensor power of the dualizing sheaves of these singularities. And as its application we give the inequality which bound the Gorenstein index by the local self intersection number of the n-canonical divisor of these singularities.
Let G be a reductive groups over an algebraically closed field k. Let P^{(i)} be associated parabolic subgroups, and X^{(i)}:=T^*G/P^i. The bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on X^{(i)} are equivalent, but there is no canonical equivalence. By refining a construction from a previous paper, we construct a local system of categories over a topological space V^0_C, where these categories are assigned to different points in V^0_C. Natural equivalence functors between these categories are parameterized by homotopy classes of paths between the corresponding points.
A $h$-instanton sheaf on a closed subscheme $X$ of some projective space endowed with an ample and globally generated line bundle $\mathcal{O}_X(h)$ is a coherent sheaf whose cohomology table has a certain prescribed shape. In this paper we deal with $h$-instanton sheaves relating them to Ulrich sheaves. Moreover, we study $h$-instanton sheaves on smooth curves and surfaces, cyclic $n$-folds, Fano $3$-folds and scrolls over arbitrary smooth curves. We also deal with a family of monads associated to $h$-instanton bundles on varieties satisfying some mild extra technical conditions.
Let $X$ be a del Pezzo surface. When the degree of $X$ is at least 4, we compute the cohomology of a general sheaf in the moduli space of Gieseker semistable sheaves. We also classify the Chern characters for which the general sheaf in the moduli space is non-special, i.e. has at most one nonzero cohomology group. Our results hold for arbitrary polarizations, slope semistability, and semi-exceptional moduli spaces. When the degree of $X$ is at least 3, we further show our construction of certain vector bundles implies the existence of stable and semistable sheaves with respect to the anti-cano…
We give a new proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture in positive characteristic, in the situation where the variety under scrutiny is a smooth subvariety of an abelian variety. Our proof is based on the theory of semistable sheaves in positive characteristic, in particular on Langer's theorem that the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of sheaves becomes strongly semistable after a finite number of iterations of Frobenius pull-backs. The interest of this proof is that it provides simple effective bounds (depending on the degree of the canonical line bundle) for the degree of the isotrivial finite cove…
Given a family of nodal curves, a semistable modification of it is another family made up of curves obtained by inserting chains of rational curves of any given length at certain nodes of certain curves of the original family. We give comparison theorems between torsion-free, rank-1 sheaves in the former family and invertible sheaves in the latter. We apply them to show that there are functorial isomorphisms between the compactifications of relative Jacobians of families of nodal curves constructed through Caporaso's approach and those constructed through Pandharipande's approach.
Let X be a projective irreducible smooth algebraic variety. A "fine moduli space" of sheaves on X is a family F of coherent sheaves on X parametrized by an integral variety M such that : F is flat on M; for all distinct points x, y of M the sheaves F_x, F_y on X are not isomorphic and F is a complete deformation of F_x; F has an obvious local universal property. We define also a "fine moduli space defined locally", where F is replaced by a family (F_i), where F_i is defined on an open subset U_i of M, the U_i covering M. This paper is devoted to the study of such fine moduli spaces. We first g…
We investigate the stratified hyperbolicity properties of Birkar's moduli stack of log canonical (lc) stable minimal models. The main technical result is a construction of Viehweg-Zuo's system of Higgs sheaves associated with an admissible family of lc stable minimal models, using the theory of degenerations of Hodge structure and non-abelian Hodge theory.
Deligne constructed a remarkable local system on $\bP^1-\{0,\infty\}$ attached to a family of Kloosterman sums. Katz calculated its monodromy and asked whether there are Kloosterman sheaves for general reductive groups and which automorphic forms should be attached to these local systems under the Langlands correspondence. Motivated by work of Gross and Frenkel-Gross we find an explicit family of such automorphic forms and even a simple family of automorphic sheaves in the framework of the geometric Langlands program. We use these automorphic sheaves to construct l-adic Kloosterman sheaves for…
Given a family $(F,h) \to X \times S$ of Hermite-Einstein bundles on a compact Kähler manifold $(X,g)$ we consider the higher direct image sheaves $R^q p_* \mathcal{O}(F)$ on $S$, where $p: X \times S \to S$ is the projection. On the complement of an analytic subset these sheaves are locally free and carry a natural metric, induced by the $L_2$ inner product of harmonic forms on the fibers. We compute the curvature of this metric which has a simpler form for families with fixed determinant and families of endomorphism bundles. Furthermore, we discuss the metric for moduli spaces of stable vect…
For any flat family of pure-dimensional coherent sheaves on a family of projective schemes, the Harder-Narasimhan type (in the sense of Gieseker semistability) of its restriction to each fiber is known to vary semicontinuously on the parameter scheme of the family. This defines a stratification of the parameter scheme by locally closed subsets, known as the Harder-Narasimhan stratification. In this note, we show how to endow each Harder-Narasimhan stratum with the structure of a locally closed subscheme of the parameter scheme, which enjoys the universal property that under any base change the…
We prove that the cohomology sheaves of the relative dualizing complex of a flat family of varieties with semi-log-canonical or Du Bois singularities are flat and commute with base change. This is a local version of our earlier similar result where the family was assumed to be projective. We also derive several consequences for deformations of semi-log-canonical and of Du Bois singularities.
We study relations between the quadraticity of the Kuranishi family of a coherent sheaf on a complex projective scheme and the formality of the DG-Lie algebra of its derived endomorphisms. In particular, we prove that for a polystable coherent sheaf on a smooth complex projective surface the DG-Lie algebra of derived endomorphisms is formal if and only if the Kuranishi family is quadratic.
We prove that any Fourier--Mukai partner of an abelian surface over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic is isomorphic to a moduli space of Gieseker-stable sheaves. We apply this fact to show that the Fourier--Mukai set of canonical covers of hyperelliptic and Enriques surfaces over an algebraically closed field of characteristic greater than three is trivial. These results extend to positive characteristic earlier results of Bridgeland--Maciocia and Sosna.
The convolution powers of a perverse sheaf on an abelian variety define an interesting family of branched local systems whose geometry is still poorly understood. We show that the generating series for their generic rank is a rational function of a very simple shape and that a similar result holds for the symmetric convolution powers. We also give formulae for other Schur functors in terms of characteristic classes on the dual abelian variety, and as an example we discuss the case of Prym-Tjurin varieties.
We show that Fay's trisecant identity follows from the A_{infinity}-constraint between certain triple Massey products in the derived category of coherent sheaves on a curve. We also deduce the matrix analogue of this identity that can be conveniently formulated using quasideterminants of matrices with non-commuting entries. On the other hand, looking at more special triple Massey products we derive a formula for the tangent line to a canonically embedded curve at a given point.
We consider various definitions of non-lc ideal sheaves -- generalizations of the multiplier ideal sheaf which define the non-lc (non-log canonical) locus. We introduce the maximal non-lc ideal sheaf and intermediate non-lc ideal sheaves and consider the restriction theorem for these ideal sheaves. We also begin the development of the theory of a characteristic p>0 analog of maximal non-lc ideals, utilizing some recent work of Blickle.
Let S be a smooth projective surface, K be the canonical class of S and H be an ample divisor such that H.K<0 . In this paper we prove that for any rigid (Ext^1(F,F)=0) semistable sheaf F in the sense of Mumford--Takemoto stability w.r.t. H there exists an exceptional collection (E_1,...,E_n) of sheaves on S such that F can be constructed from {E_i} by a finite number of extensions.
In this note we construct an unlimited family of irregular algebraic surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree $ 8 $, irregularity $ 1 $ and arbitrarily large geometric genus such that the image of the canonical map is not a surface of minimal degree.
In this note we provide a two-dimensional family of smooth minimal threefolds of general type with canonical map of degree 96, improving the previous known bound of 72.
This is a review/announcement of results concerning the connection between certain exactly solvable two-dimensional models of statistical mechanics, namely loop models, and the equivariant $K$-theory of the cotangent bundle of the Grassmannian. We interpret various concepts from integrable systems ($R$-matrix, partition function on a finite domain) in geometric terms. As a byproduct, we provide explicit formulae for $K$-classes of various coherent sheaves, including structure and (conjecturally) square roots of canonical sheaves and canonical sheaves of conormal varieties of Schubert varieties…
We construct a special family of equivariant coherent sheaves on the Hilbert scheme on $n$-points in the affine plane. The equivariant Euler characteristic of these sheaves are closely related to the symmetic functions $(-1)^{n-1} \nabla p_n$. We prove a higher cohomology vanishing result of these sheaves. It follows from the Bridgeland-King-Reid correspondence that there is an effective $S_n$ module underlying the aforementioned family of symmetric functions.
We characterize the subscheme of the moduli space of torsion-free sheaves on an elliptic surface which are stable of relative degree zeero (with respect to a polarization of type aH+bf, H being the section and f the elliptic fibre) which is isomorphic, via the relative Fourier-Mukai transform, with the relative compactified Simpson Jacobian of the family of those curves D in the surface which are flat over the base of the elliptic fibration. This generalizes and completes earlier constructions due to Friedman, Morgan and Witten. We also study the relative moduli scheme of sheaves whose restric…
An injectivity theorem on snc compact Kähler spaces: an application of the theory of harmonic integrals on log-canonical centers via adjoint ideal sheaves
Let M be a smooth and compact moduli space of stable coherent sheaves on a projective surface S with an effective (or trivial) anti-canonical line bundle. We find generators for the cohomology ring of M, with integral coefficients. When S is simply connected and a universal sheaf E exists over SxM, then its class [E] admits a Kunneth decomposition as a class in the tensor product of the topological K-rings K(S) and K(M). The generators are the Chern classes of the Kunneth factors of [E] in K(M). The general case is similar
Few explicit families of 3-folds are known for which the computation of the canonical ring is accessible and the birational geometry non-trivial. In this note we investigate a family of determinantal 3-folds in $\mathbb P^2 \times \mathbb P^3$ where this is the case.
We study certain moduli spaces of sheaves on Enriques surfaces thereby obtaining, in every odd dimension, new examples of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We describe the geometry (canonical bundle, fundamental group, second Betti number and certain Hodge numbers) of these moduli spaces showing, in partial analogy to the well-known case of sheaves on K3 or Abelian surfaces, how the geometry of the surface reflects that of the moduli space itself.
We show that the compatibility of the relative canonical sheaf with base change fails generally in families of normal varieties. Furthermore, it always fails if the general fiber of a family of pure dimension n is Cohen-Macaulay and the special fiber contains a strictly S_{n-1} point. In particular, in moduli spaces with functorial relative canonical sheaves Cohen-Macaulay schemes can not degenerate to S_{n-1} schemes. Another, less immediate consequence is that the canonical sheaf of an S_{n-1}, G_2 scheme of pure dimension n is not S_3.
