Abstract: By a result of Klyachko the Euler characteristic of moduli spaces of stable bundles of rank two on the projective plane is determined. Using similar methods we extend this result to bundles of rank three. The fixed point components correspond to moduli spaces of the subspace quiver. Moreover, the stability condition is given by a certain system of linear inequalities so that the generating function of the Euler characteristic can be determined explicitly.


Some years ago, Klyachko determined the Euler characteristics of the moduli spaces of \(\mu\)-stable vector bundles of rank \(2\) on the complex projective plane \({\mathbb P}^2\). In this paper, similar formulae are obtained for bundles of rank \(3\). The basic idea of Klyachko is to use the natural action of the torus \(T={\mathbb C}^{*3}\) on \({\mathbb P}^2\). For any moduli space \({\mathcal M}\) of bundles on \({\mathbb P}^2\), the torus \(T\) acts on \({\mathcal M}\) and we have \(\chi({\mathcal M})=\chi({\mathcal M}^T)\), where \(\chi\) denotes the Euler characteristic and \({\mathcal M}^T\) is the fixed point set for the action of \(T\) on \({\mathcal M}\). The bundles of rank \(r\) fixed by \(T\) (here called toric bundles) correspond to filtrations of the vector space \({\mathbb C}^3\) and hence to representations of the subspace quiver. It remains to carry out detailed calculations to compute \(\chi({\mathcal M}^T)\). The author carries out these computations in the case \(r=3\), giving the answers in the form of generating series for \(\chi({\mathcal M}(D))\), where \(D:=6c_2-2c_1^2\) is the discriminant. \{There is some notational inconsistency here, as the author gives a formula for the discriminant as \(D:=2c_1^2-6c_2\) and actually defines it (Definition 2.6) by a third formula. Note also that ``semistable is sometimes used with the meaning ``strictly semistable (see for example Lemma 4.2).\}
