Codimension of jumping loci

From MaRDI portal





Let \(X\) be a smooth complex projective variety and \({\mathcal E}\) a locally free coherent sheaf on \(X\). When considering a dominant family \(W\) of curves inside the appropriate moduli, a motivating question (see 1.1) is that of bounding the codimension of \(W\) in terms of the, say, difference \(\mu\) of the slopes of the family and their expected value. This is precisely defined (see Def. 1.2) as a difference between the slopes in the Harder-Narashiman filtration of \({\mathcal E}\) with respect to the general curve \(s:C \to X\) in \(W\) and the slopes in the corresponding filtration of \(s^*{\mathcal E}\) on \(C\) with respect to the class of a point in \(C\). Deformation theory provides upper bounds on the codimension of \(W\) which are linear in \(\mu\) when \(W\) parametrizes every curve whose difference in slopes is \(\mu\). The first main result in the paper under review (see Thm. 1.3) presents conditions under which lower bounds on the codimension of \(W\) which are linear in \(\mu\) are also obtained. Loosely speaking, as the own authors say, the main condition to get such bounds is the connectedness of the fibers of the evaluation map of the family. The techniques of this result are applied (see Thm. 1.6) to rank \(2\) stable bundles on the projective plane and to the study of singular loci of moduli spaces of curves (see Thm. 1.8).
