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


Abstract in English

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.
