Singularities on the 2-Dimensional Moduli Spaces of Stable Sheaves on K3 Surfaces (Q4474446)

The authors consider the singularities of 2-dimensional moduli spaces of semi-stable sheaves on a \(K3\) surface. The authors show that the moduli space is normal, in particular the singularities are rational double points. The exceptional locus on the resolution is also described in terms of exceptional sheaves. Some partial results in this direction were obtained by \textit{T. Abe} [Math. Res. Lett. 7, No. 4, 463--470 (2000; Zbl 1050.14023)]. The main tools used for this description are the the moduli of twisted semistable sheaves introduced by \textit{K. Matsuki} and \textit{R. Wentworth} [Int. J. Math. 8, No. 1, 97--148 (1997; Zbl 0879.14002)] and a special type of Fourier-Mukai transformation, classically called reflection. In appendix A the wall crossing behavior of the moduli spaces considered here is studied. In appendix B an analogy with a result of \textit{H. Nakajima} [CMS Conf. Proc. 19, 139--157 (1996; Zbl 0870.16008)] on the McKay correspondence is explained.
