Stability and Fourier-Mukai transforms on elliptic fibrations (Q2445916)

The paper under the review studies the moduli spaces of stable sheaves (or objects) on elliptic fibrations. Fourier-Mukai transforms have been playing important roles in the understanding of Gieseker stable sheaves on Calabi-Yau varieties and their moduli spaces since Mukai's pioneering work. But this methodology has one unnatural point: Fourier-Mukai transforms are defined on bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves, although what one wants to analyze are sheaves. Thus in the study of stable sheaves one should care whether the sheaves considered are mapped to sheaves by the transforms, and also care whether the stability is preserved. Bridgeland's notion of stability conditions on triangulated categories, which has surprisingly huge influence over a wide range of areas, gives a bypath of the difficulty mentioned above. Fourier-Mukai transforms are autoequivalence of the category, so that a Gieseker stable sheaf is mapped to a Bridgeland stable object. Thus the description of Bridgeland stable object, i.e., bounded complex of coherent sheaves, is an important theme for the study of Gieseker stable sheaves. The paper gives detailed descriptions of Bridgeland stable objects on the elliptic fibrations. These descriptions enable one to analyze the behavior of the objects under the relative Fourier-Mukai transforms, and one may construct birational morphisms (and isomorphisms in some cases) between moduli spaces of stable objects. The key idea is to use three different torsion pairs for the bounded derived category of the coherent sheaves on elliptic fibrations. Then the author obtains an explicit vanishing condition for a stable sheaf on the generic fiber to be taken to a torsion-free sheaf under Fourier-Mukai transforms. As an application of these foundamental results, the author constructs morphisms from moduli spaces of stable objects to moduli of Gieseker stable sheaves on elliptic threefolds. He also gives various 1-1 correspondences between fiberwise semistable torsion-free sheaves and codimension-1 sheaves on Weierstrass surfaces. As the author mentions in the end of the first section, it is interesting to understand the relationship between the results in this paper and those obtained by Friedman-Morgan-Witten's spectral construction.
