Polynomial Bridgeland stable objects and reflexive sheaves (Q1951841)

The paper under review deals with moduli spaces of stable objects with respect to polynomial stability conditions on a smooth projective threefold \(X\). Recall that the concept of polynomial stability conditions is, roughly speaking, an approximation of Bridgeland stability conditions. The former consists of a heart of a bounded t-structure in \(D^b(X)\), the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on \(X\), and a group homomorphism from the Grothendieck group of \(X\) to the ring \(\mathbb{C}[m]\) satisfying some conditions. A standard polynomial stability condition consists of the following data: (1) an ample \(\mathbb{R}\)-divisor \(\omega\), (2) four nonzero complex numbers \(\rho_i\) with the property that \(\rho_d/\rho_{d+1}\) lies in the upper half complex plane, (3) a perversity function associated to the \(\rho_i\), and (4) a unipotent element \(U\) of \(A^*(X)_\mathbb{C}\). In Section 2 of the paper the author begins his study of these objects. Under an assumption on the perversity function, the heart of the bounded t-structure \(\mathcal{A}^p\) is a simple tilt of the standard one with respect to an explicitly described torsion theory. Furthermore, the study of polynomial stabilities having the additional property that no two of the \(\rho_i\) are collinear reduces to only three explicit configurations, one of them labelled PT, of the \(\rho_i\), and hence only three moduli spaces of stable objects. In the next section polynomial stable objects are characterized. For this one, in particular, uses that \(\mathcal{A}^p\) consists of two-term complexes and the cohomology sheaves \(H^i(E)\) of a (semi-)stable object \(E\) satisfy some conditions. It is also proved in this section that if the degree and rank are coprime, two of the three notions of stability mentioned above coincide. In Section 4 the author proves his main results. Namely, let \(\text{ch}\) be a Chern character such that (a) \(\text{ch}_0\neq 0\) and (b) \(\text{ch}_0\) and \(\text{ch}_1\) are coprime, and let \(\sigma\) a polynomial stability condition satisfying the conditions alluded to above. Then the moduli space of \(\sigma\)-stable objects of Chern character \(\text{ch}\) is either a moduli space of Gieseker stable sheaves of Chern character \(\text{ch}\) or a moduli space of PT-stable objects of Chern character \(\text{ch}\) in \(\mathcal{A}^p\). The second main result states, roughly speaking, that the intersection of the moduli spaces of PT- and dual PT-stable objects can be interpreted as a moduli space of reflexive sheaves.
