Abstract: We prove that moduli spaces of torsion-free sheaves on a projective smooth complex surface are irreducible, reduced and of the expected dimension, provided the expected dimension is large enough. Actually we prove more: given a line bundle on the surface, we show that the number of moduli of sheaves which have a non-zero twisted (by the chosen line-bundle) endomorphism grows slower than the expected dimension of the moduli space (for fixed rank and increasing discriminant). The bounds we get are effective: we concentrate on the case of rank two and we give a lower bound on the discriminant guaranteeing that the moduli space is reduced of the expected dimension. We also give an effective irreducibility result for complete intersections. All of the above follows from a theorem bounding the dimension of complete subsets of the moduli space which do not intersect the boundary.

Review text

The author studies two important questions concerning the moduli space of vector bundles on projective surfaces. Let \(S\) be a polarized projective surface and let \(M(r, c_1, c_2)\) be the moduli space of rank \(r\) stable vector bundles of first Chern class \(c_1\in \text{Pic} (S)\) and second Chern class \(c_2 \in H^4 (S,\mathbb{Z})\). The first question is whether \(M(r, c_1, c_2)\) has the expected dimension and is smooth at its general point. The second question is whether it is irreducible. The answer to both questions are as follows: There is a constant \(C\) depending on \(S\), on the polarization of \(S\) and on \(r\) and \(c_1\) such that whenever \(c_2\geq C\), then \(M(r,c_1, c_2)\) is smooth at its general point, it has the expected dimension and is irreducible. The case \(r=2\) was known for quite a while and the general case was established recently. The draw back of the previous works are that they only established the existence of such constant but gave no effective bound of it. In this paper, the author gives an effective bound of such constant. The estimate is close to the optimal bound in some special cases.
