Preface

In this monograph, we define and investigate an algebro-geometric analogue of Donaldson invariants by using moduli spaces of semistable sheaves with arbitrary ranks on a polarized projective surface. We may expect the existence of interesting “universal relations among invariants”, which would be a natural generalization of the “wall-crossing formula” and the “Witten conjecture” for classical Donaldson invariants. Our goal is to obtain a weaker version of such relations, in other brief words, to describe a relation as the sum of integrals over the products of moduli spaces of objects with lower ranks. Fortunately, according to a recent excellent work of L. G¨ottsche, H. Nakajima and K. Yoshioka, [53], a wall-crossing formula for Donaldson invariants of projective surfaces can be deduced from such a weaker result in the rank two case. We hope that our work in this monograph would, at least tentatively, provides a part of foundation for the further study on such universal relations. In the rest of this preface, we would like to explain our motivation and some of important ingredients of this study. See Introduction for our actual problems and results.

Donaldson Invariants Let us briefly recall Donaldson invariants. We refer to [22] for more details and precise. We also refer to [37], [39], [51] and [53]. Let X be a compact simply connected oriented real 4-dimensional C ∞ -manifold with a Riemannian metric g. Let P be a principal SO(3)-bundle on X. A connection ∇ of P is called an anti-selfdual (ASD) connection if the curvature F (∇) satisfies ∗g F (∇) = −F (∇), where ∗g denotes the Hodge star operator associated to g. For simplicity, let us restrict ourselves to the case that P comes from a principal SU (2)-bundle. Note that P is determined by its second Chern class c2 := c2 (P ). Let b+ (X) be the number of positive eigenvalues of the intersection form on H 2 (X). Let M (c2 , g) denote the moduli space of ASD connections of P . If g is sufficiently general, itis known that M (c2 , g) is naturally a C ∞ -manifold with dimR M (c2 , g) = 8c2 − 3 1 + b+ (X) . vii

Let d := dimR M (c2 , g)/2 and write d = l + 2m. We consider integrals X,g m Φd α1 · · · · · αl · p := μ(α1 ) ∪ · · · ∪ μ(αl ) · μ(P )m

for αi ∈ H2 (X, Q) (i = 1, . . . , l) and p ∈ H0 (X, Q). The map μ : H∗ (X, Q) −→ H ∗ M (c2 , g), Q is formally given by μ(α) = c2 (P)/α, where P is the universal principal bundle on X × M (c2 , g). Although M (c2 , g) is not compact in general, μ(αi ) are naturally extended to the cohomology classes on the Uhlenbeck compactification M (c2 , g). Moreover, let A∗ (X) be the symmetric algebra generated by H2 (X) ⊕ H0 (X), gives which is graded by giving degree 2 − i/2 to elements of Hi (X). Then, ΦX,g d a linear map Ad (X) −→ Q. Thus, we obtain a map X,g Φd : A∗ (X) −→ Q. (0.2) ΦX,g := d≥0

It is called a Donaldson invariant of X. If b+ (X) > 1, (0.1) are shown to be independent of the choice of general g. They were successfully applied in the study of low-dimensional differential topology, until the appearance of Seiberg-Witten invariants which are defined more easily and believed to contain equivalent information in most cases. Nowadays, the attention to Donaldson invariants has been rather limited. So the author should explain why he would like to study a generalization of their algebro-geometric analogue in this comparatively long monograph. Although they might be less interesting in terms of topological application, there would exist attractive problems of “universal relations among invariants” which are natural generalizations of the “wallcrossing formula” (“Kotschick-Morgan conjecture”) and the “Witten conjecture”. We remark that P. Kronheimer [76] studied such a generalization of Donaldson invariants for real 4-dimensional manifolds by using the moduli of higher rank objects from a viewpoint of differential geometry. It was also investigated in mathematical physics. (See [84], for example.) Kotschick-Morgan Conjecture and Witten Conjecture Let us recall the conjectures for an explanation of the motivation of our study, although they are beyond the scope of this monograph. We should remark that they have been studied intensively from mathematical viewpoints, by V. Y. Pidstrigach– A. N. Tyurin, B. Chen, and in particular P. Feehan–T. Leness. In the case b+ = 1, the integrals (0.1) depend on the choice of the metric g. Let us recall the result of D. Kotschick–J. Morgan in [74], following [51]. Let H 2 (X, R)+ denote the set of α ∈ H 2 (X, R) such that α2 > 0. Then, H 2 (X, R)+ /R+ has two connected components. Let us fix one component Ω + . The period point ω(g) is the point in Ω + defined by the closed two form which is harmonic with respect to g and satisfies ∗g ω(g) = ω(g). An element ξ ∈ H 2 (X, Z) is called of type d, if

(d + 3)/4 + ξ 2 ∈ Z≥0 . For such ξ, let W ξ := L ∈ Ω + L · ξ = 0 be called a wall of type d. The chambers of type d are the connected components in the complement of the walls of type d in Ω + . Kotschick and Morgan proved that ΦX,g depends only d on the chamber in which ω(g) is contained. It is very interesting to ask what happens when ω(g) crosses a wall of type d, that is called a wall-crossing phenomenon. 1 2 X X : Ad (X) −→ Q given by ΦX,g − ΦX,g = δξ,d , We obtain the linear map δξ,d d d ξ where the chambers of ω(g1 ) and ω(g2 ) are divided with W . They conjectured X (αd ) (α ∈ H2 (X)) is the polynomial in the intersection numbers α2 and that δξ,d α · ξ whose coefficients depend only on ξ 2 , d and the homotopy type of X. Very X can be expressed interestingly, assuming the conjecture, G¨ottsche showed that δξ,d by using modular forms, which is called a wall-crossing formula. ([50]. See also [51].) Since the appearance of Seiberg-Witten invariants, it has been expected that Seiberg-Witten invariants and Donaldson invariants give equivalent information in most cases. Let χ and τ denote the Euler number and the signature of X, respectively. Let m(X) = 2 + 7χ + τ /4. Let Λ denote the set of isomorphism classes of line bundles L on X such that c1 (L)2 = 2χ + 3τ . For L ∈ Λ, let nL denote the Seiberg-Witten invariant, i.e., the number of the solutions of the Seiberg-Witten equation associated to a Spinc -structure whose determinant bundle is L. Then, Donaldson invariants and Seiberg-Witten invariants are expected to be related by the following impressive formula: ΦX (α) = 2m(X) eα·α/2 nL · ec1 (L)·α L∈Λ

(See [130] and [21] for more precise and details.) Both conjectures claim the existence of universal relations which are expressed in impressive ways. It might be desirable to understand them as a part of larger universal relations by extending the framework to the higher rank cases, and moreover we might dream to understand some geometry behind them.

Donaldson Invariants in Algebraic Geometry We recall how Donaldson invariants were discussed in algebraic geometry. Let X be a smooth projective surface with an ample line bundle OX (1). Let ω be a Kahler metric which represents the first Chern class of OX (1). Let E be a holomorphic vector bundle on X such that det(E) OX . A hermitian metric h of E is called Hermitian-Einstein with respect to ω, if Λω F (h) = 0 is satisfied, where F (h) is the curvature of the canonical unitary connection ∇h of (E, h), and Λω denotes the adjoint of the multiplication of ω. Let P be the principal SU (2)-bundle associated to E with a hermitian metric h. Then, the induced connection ∇h on P is ASD, if and only if h is Hermitian-Einstein. Therefore, considering ASD-connections is equivalent to considering holomorphic vector bundles with Hermitian-Einstein metrics.

Preface

Recall a very deep correspondence between objects in differential geometry and algebraic geometry, so called the Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence. (See [18], [19], [128].) Let E be a holomorphic vector bundle on X such that det(E) OX . Then, E is called μ-stable if and only if degω (F ) := X c1 (F ) · ω < 0 for any coherent subsheaf F of E. According to the Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence, E is μ-stable if and only if E is indecomposable and has a Hermitian-Einstein metric. Moreover, such a metric is unique up to obvious ambiguity. Thus, we obtain the bijective correspondence between μ-stable bundles and holomorphic indecomposable vector bundles with Hermitian-Einstein metrics, more strongly the homeomorphism of the moduli spaces. Stable bundles and more general stable sheaves have been studied in algebraic geometry. A moduli space M(c2 ) of semistable sheaves was constructed as the projective variety by D. Gieseker and M. Maruyama in the framework of geometric invariant theory, which gives a compactification of moduli of stable vector bundles, called the Gieseker-Maruyama compactification. It was known that there exists the projective morphism of the Gieseker-Maruyama compactification to the Uhlenbeck compactification. It is natural to expect that the integral (0.1) can be defined as the evaluation over M(c2 ). It doesn’t work in general, since a Kahler metric is not necessarily generic and the moduli space M(c2 ) does not have the expected dimension. But, if c2 is sufficiently large, it is known that M(c2 ) has the expected dimension, and the evaluation over M(c2 ) gives the Donaldson invariants according to J. Li and Morgan. (See [81] and [94].) By using the blow up formulas due to R. Fintushel and R. J. Stern [34], which relate the Donaldson invariants of X and the

of X in a point, the full Donaldson invariants can be defined in a purely blow up X algebro-geometric way. (See [53] for more details.) Note that we will later give a different construction of invariants in an algebro-geometric way. (They are the same, if the moduli has the expected dimension.) Each method has its own advantage.

Reduction to Sum of Integrals over the Products of Hilbert Schemes G. Ellingsrud-L. G¨ottsche and R. Friedman-Z. Qin studied the wall crossing phenomena of Donaldson invariants in algebraic geometry. (See [26] and [36].) Although we omit the details here, their results briefly say that if X is a smooth X can be described as the sum of integrals of naturally induced projective surface, δξ,d cohomology classes over the products of Hilbert schemes of points on X, under the assumption that the wall W ξ is good. Such a formula is called a weak wall-crossing formula in this monograph, and actually one of our main goals is to show it without any assumption on the walls by using intrinsic smoothness of the moduli spaces.

Hilbert Schemes of Points on a Surface The author thinks that it is a proper goal to describe some relations among invariants as the sum of integrals over the products of Hilbert schemes, although not final.

For an explanation, we recall a brief history of the study of Hilbert schemes X [n] of n-points on a connected projective surface X. We refer to [49] and [98] for more details. The first important result is the irreducibility and smoothness of X [n] . Among several important and pioneering works, one of the most impressive and famous results is a formula of G¨ottsche. It is irresistible to reproduce it here. Let bi (X) denote the i-th Betti numbers of X. Let PX [n] (z) denote the Poincar´e polynomial of X [n] in a variable z. Then, G¨ottsche’s formula is ∞ n≥0

PX [n] (z)tn =

(1 + z 2m−1 tm )b1 (X) (1 + z 2m+1 tm )b3 (X) . (1 − z 2m−2 tm )(1 − z 2m tm )b2 (X) (1 − z 2m+2 tm ) m≥1

Many mathematicians were attracted by the formula for deeper understanding. For example, it has been shown to hold in the level of Grothendieck group of varieties ([11], [52], [16]). In the other direction, a deep observation was given by Nakajima and I. Grojnowski ([56] and [97]), who constructed geometrically a representation of Heisenberg algebra on n H ∗ (X [n] ). Since then, a considerable number of studies have been conducted on Hilbert schemes of points, and hence they have been much more familiar than moduli of sheaves with higher ranks. It could be one reason why we try to express some quantity as the sum of integrals over the products of Hilbert schemes. But moreover, in principle, we may expect that some information of Hilbert schemes X [n] are comprehensible from that of the original surface X with universal and lucid procedures which are independent of X. The formula of G¨ottsche and the NakajimaGrojnowski construction are typical. The principle was enforced by the results on cobordism classes, some integrals and others. (For example, see [27] and [80].) That is the main reason why the author believes it worthwhile to express something in terms of Hilbert schemes, like a weak wall-crossing formula in the rank two case. Fortunately for the author, after the solution of Nekrasov’s conjecture ([99], [100], [101], [102] [106]), G¨ottsche, Nakajima and Yoshioka successfully showed that the wall-crossing formula for Donaldson invariants of projective surface can be deduced from the weak wall-crossing formula! (See [53].) We refer to the lecture notes and the survey by Nakajima and Yoshioka for this story. ([99] and [102]).

Virtual Fundamental Classes We should emphasize that our moderate goal, such as a weak wall-crossing formula, is already related with important, interesting and rather recent development in mathematics, so called derived algebraic geometry. In their study of the wallcrossing phenomena, Ellingsrud-G¨ottsche and Friedman-Qin used a sequence of flips to relate the moduli spaces corresponding to two polarizations. Their argument can work if flips are neat, which is related with the assumption that the wall is good. But, singularity may appear in general. Singularity of moduli spaces causes difficult but attractive problems in many aspects of mathematics. Since 1990’s, several mathematicians, such as P. Deligne,

Preface

V. Drinfeld and M. Kontsevich, have proposed significance of intrinsic smoothness of moduli spaces. (See [71].) This revolutionary idea was employed most efficiently in the Gromov-Witten theory. In constructing Gromov-Witten invariants, we need to evaluate some cohomology classes over fundamental classes of moduli stacks of stable maps. However, the moduli stacks may not be smooth and of expected dimension, and hence they do not have fundamental classes in the naive sense. As a solution of this difficulty, L. Behrend-B. Fantechi, K. Fukaya-K. Ono and J. Li-G. Tian gave constructions of virtual fundamental classes by using intrinsic smoothness called perfect obstruction theory or Kuranishi structure ([6], [40] and [82]). Rather recently, virtual fundamental classes have also been used in the study of Donaldson-Thomas invariants [121] for three dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties. As for our problems, we will define our algebro-geometric analogue of Donaldson invariants by using virtual fundamental classes, which allows us to utilize intrinsic smoothness effectively in the study of transitions of moduli stacks. More specifically, we can use a technique of localization with respect to torus actions to obtain weak wall crossing formulas and similar formulas, instead of flips.

Master Space Another important ingredient is the excellent and beautiful idea of master space due to M. Thaddeus [120]. Let G be a linear reductive group. Let U be a projective variety with a G-action. Let Li (i = 1, 2) be G-polarizations of U . Then, we have the open subset U ss (Li ) of semistable points of U with respect to Li . It is interesting and significant to compare the quotient stacks Mi := U ss (Li )/G (i = 1, 2). (Since the moduli stacks of semistable sheaves have such descriptions, it is clearly related with our problem.) For that purpose, Thaddeus introduced the idea of master space. Let us con−1 sider the G-variety TH := P(L−1 1 ⊕ L2 ) on U , the projectivization of the vector bundle L1 ⊕ L2 . We have the canonical polarization OP (1) on TH. We have the canonically defined G-action on TH, and OP (1) gives the G-polarization. The set of the semistable points is denoted by THss . Then we obtain the quotient stack M := THss /G. Let π : THss −→ M denote the projection. Let Gm denote a one dimensional torus Spec C[t, t−1 ]. We have the Gm -action on TH given by ρ(t)·[x : y] = [t·x : y], where [x : y] denotes the homogeneous coordinate of TH along the fiber direction. Since ρ commutes with the action of G, it induces a Gm -action ρ on M . We have the natural inclusions THi = P(L−1 i ) −→ TH. Because OP (1)| THi = ss = U (L ) and inclusions Mi −→ M . Since THi are compoLi , we have THss i i nents of the fixed point set of the action ρ, the stacks Mi are the components of the fixed point set of the action ρ. The action ρ may have fixed points not contained in M1 ∪ M2 . Let x ∈ THss . In general, π(x) is fixed by the action ρ if and only if Gm · x ⊂ G · x. So we may have the components of the fixed points π(x) such that x is not fixed by ρ. Such a component is called exceptional. In a sense, the information on the difference of

the quotient stacks Mi (i = 1, 2) is contained in the exceptional fixed point sets. As already mentioned, we will extract this information by using a Gm -localization technique in our situation. We have one more technical remark. In the study of the transition of moduli stacks of objects with higher ranks, one of the main difficulties for the author is the appearance of objects which are decomposable into more than three components. In our argument, it causes that the master space is not Deligne-Mumford. To avoid such difficulty, we introduce enhanced master spaces, which requires a detailed and interesting investigation in controlling fixed point sets.

Further Study This monograph is tentative and experimental, partially because of rapid and intensive development of the theory of stacks. For example, J. Lurie, B. To¨en and their collaborators are rewriting the foundation of algebraic geometry. (See [124] for overview.) Their theory, so called derived algebraic geometry or homotopical algebraic geometry, seems to provide us with a powerful tool in constructing perfect obstruction theories, and hence virtual fundamental classes. But, unfortunately, it is beyond the author’s ability to use their theory at this moment. He believes that it should be one of the themes in the study of stacks to make it easy to deal with the objects and the formalisms in our work. He hopes to study these problems from the viewpoint of derived algebraic geometry once more in future. (However, he also believes that we will obtain the same invariants even if we adopt another method in constructing perfect obstruction theory.) One of the important results missing in our theory is the blow-up formula, i.e., a comparison of invariants for X and a blow up of X. The author originally intended to develop a theory “without blow up”. But it seems to contain interesting problems for such a comparison. For example, see the recent attractive work of Nakajima and Yoshioka, [103] and [104]. From a perfect obstruction theories, we obtain not only virtual fundamental classes but also virtual structure sheaves, which seem very attractive subjects. For example, it would be very interesting to find a formula to express the Euler numbers of the tensor products of line bundles and the virtual structure sheaves. (See [28], [54] and [101] for related topics.) As mentioned in the beginning, we hope that our weak relations would lead to more impressive formulas. Moreover, it would be desirable to understand such formulas in a geometric way, as in the case of G¨ottsche’s formula and the NakajimaGrojnowski construction. The study of wall-crossing phenomena for Donaldson-Thomas invariants has been developing intensively. (See [4], [73], [114], [123], for example.) The author expects that we will have wall crossing phenomena in many other situations. It would be very interesting if some of the techniques used in this monograph could be applied.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Since we have explained the background and the motivation of the study in Preface, we will explain our problems and results, which are actually investigated in this monograph. In Section 1.1, we explain the problems. In Section 1.2, we discuss the main issues for construction of invariants. In Section 1.3, transition formulas are stated under an assumption which makes the problems much simpler. They are enough for the study of invariants in the rank 2 case, and the results are explained in Section 1.4. Generalization to the higher rank case is discussed in Section 1.5. We explain how to use master spaces for our problems in Section 1.6.

1.1 Problems Let X be a smooth projective surface with an ample line bundle OX (1) over the complex number field C. For simplicity, we assume in this introduction that X is simply connected. We set pg := dim H 2 (X, OX ). Let T ype denote the set of cohomology classes of X obtained as the Chern character of some torsion-free sheaves on X. We say that a torsion-free sheaf E is of type y, if ch(E) = y. For any y ∈ T ype, let Mss (y) denote a moduli stack of semistable (resp. stable) torsionfree sheaves of type y. One of our main problems is the following. Problem 1.1. Construct Donaldson type invariants by using Mss (y). Let E u denote the universal sheaf over Mss (y)×X. Let A∗ (X) be the Chow group of X. Let P (E u ) be a polynomial in the slant products chi (E u )/b for elements b ∈ A∗ (X) and i ∈ Z≥ 0 . Naively speaking, we would like to define the number: Φ(y) := P (E u ), or equivalently, deg P (E u ) ∩ [Mss (y)] (1.1) Mss (y)

Namely, we would like to obtain a 0-cycle by taking the cap product of P (E u ) and the fundamental class of Mss (y), and we would like to obtain the number by taking T.

its degree. As mentioned in Preface, Donaldson invariants for smooth projective surfaces can be defined in terms of moduli spaces of semistable sheaves of rank 2. It is natural to ask what invariants would be obtained by considering integrals as in (1.1) for moduli stacks of semistable sheaves of higher ranks. But, there are two main issues in making (1.1) well-defined. (A) The moduli stack Mss (y) is not Deligne-Mumford. For Artin stacks, there is no well-established theory on the degree of 0-cycles, or in other words, the push forward of cycles. (B) The moduli stack Mss (y) and the related moduli stacks may not be pure dimensional. Hence, they may not have fundamental classes in the naive sense. We will give a brief account for the above issues in Section 1.2. Remark 1.1.1 P. Kronheimer [76] studied such a generalization of Donaldson invariants for real 4-dimensional manifolds by using the moduli of higher rank objects from a viewpoint of differential geometry. (See also [135].) It was also investigated in mathematical physics. (See [84], for example.) Remark 1.1.2 Related issues were studied for moduli stack of sheaves on CalabiYau threefolds by R. P. Thomas [121] in the construction of Donaldson-Thomas invariants. See also the recent work of R. Pandharipande and R. P. Thomas. ([112]– [114].) After constructing the invariants, we will be interested in universal relations among invariants, and moreover geometry behind them. (See Preface for the related conjectures on Donaldson invariants.) In particular, we study the following problems in this monograph. Problem 1.2. Clarify the dependence of Φ(y) on the polarization OX (1).

Problem 1.3. Express Φ(y) as the sum of integrals over the products of moduli spaces of objects with rank one. As for Problem 1.2, we will show that Φ(y) is independent of the choice of OX (1) in the case pg > 0, and we will obtain a “weak wall-crossing formula” in the case pg = 0. As for Problem 1.3, we will give such a formula in the case pg > 0. See Section 1.4 for more details in the rank 2 case, and Section 1.5 in the higher rank case. As mentioned in Preface, the related problems for Donaldson invariants (the rank 2 case) have been intensively studied. For example, they were investigated by V. Y. Pidstrigach–A. N. Tyurin, [115], B. Chen [12], and in particular P. Feehan–T. Leness ([29]–[33] and others), by using differential geometric techniques. From algebrogeometric viewpoints, Problem 1.2 was studied by G. Ellingsrud-L. G¨ottsche [26] and R. Friedman-Z. Qin [36], and Problem 1.3 was discussed by C. Okonek, A. Schmitt and A. Teleman [110]. Rather recently, D. Joyce developed an attractive and huge theory to obtain invariants from abelian categories provided with semistability conditions. (For example, see [66].) His theory can be applied to the category of coherent sheaves

on a smooth projective surface whose anti-canonical sheaf is nef. (For example, see [122].) He also studied wall-crossing phenomena of the invariants for variation of semistability conditions. But, his invariant is “motivic”, and it seems different from ours. Remark 1.1.3 As explained in the next section, we will consider moduli stacks y ) of oriented semistable sheaves of type y, instead of Mss (y). So we preMss (

y ) instead of Φ(y).

1.2 Construction of Invariants 1.2.1 Orientation and Reduced L-Bradlow Pairs Let us consider the issue (A). We will replace Mss (y) with another proper DeligneMumford stack which is a nice approximation of Mss (y). Recall that stable sheaves have non-trivial automorphism groups given by constant multiplications. To eliminate such automorphisms, we first consider orientations of torsion-free sheaves. Let y be as in Section 1.1. Let a be the first Chern class determined by y, i.e., the H 2 (X)-component. We take an algebraic line bundle La on X such that c1 (La ) = a. An oriented torsion-free sheaf (E, ρ) on X of type y is a pair of a coherent torsion-free sheaf E of type y and an isomorphism ρ : det(E) La . Let y ) (resp. Ms (

y )) denote a moduli stack of semistable (resp. stable) oriented Mss (

torsion-free sheaves of type y. A constant multiplication t · idE gives an automory ) is Deligne-Mumford. phism of (E, ρ) if and only if trank E = 1. Hence, Ms (

y ) = Mss (

an obstruction theory of oriented sheaves is more suitable. We also recall the notion of L-Bradlow pair. Let L be a line bundle on X. A morphism φ : L −→ E is called an L-section, and a pair (E, φ) is called an L-Bradlow pair. For simplicity, we always assume φ = 0 for an L-Bradlow pair in this introduction. Let P br denote the set of polynomials δ with rational coefficients such that (i) deg(δ) ≤ 1, (ii) δ(t) > 0 for any sufficiently large t. Recall that δ-semistability and δ-stability conditions are defined for L-Bradlow pairs, when we are given δ ∈ P br . (See Subsection 3.3.1.) We use the symbol Mss (y, L, δ) (resp. Ms (y, L, δ)) to denote a moduli stack of semistable (resp. stable) L-Bradlow pairs of type y. We say that δ is critical, if Mss (y, L, δ) = Ms (y, L, δ). It can be shown that there are only

finitely many critical parameters. For a non-critical parameter δ, the moduli stack Mss (y, L, δ) is proper and Deligne-Mumford. If δ is sufficiently small, we have the morphism π : Ms (y, L, δ) −→ Mss (y). If moreover L = OX (−m) for a sufficiently large m and Mss (y) = Ms (y), then π is a (CN − {0})-bundles for some N . Hence, Ms (y, OX (−m), δ) for small δ can be regarded as an approximation of Mss (y). We may consider integrals over Ms (y, OX (−m), δ) instead of Mss (y). However, as explained later, we will use virtual fundamental classes by constructing perfect obstruction theories of our moduli stacks. And, if pg > 0, we obtain the vanishing of the virtual fundamental class of Mss y, OX (−m), δ induced by a natural obstruction theory. We need some more modification. y , L, δ) of oriented L-Bradlow pairs. It is a Let us consider a moduli stack Mss (

Gm -torsor over Mss (y, L, δ), where Gm denotes a one dimensional torus. Hence, it is Deligne-Mumford except for a finite number of δ ∈ P br . However, it is not proper. So we consider the Gm -action on Mss (y, L, δ) given by multiplication on L-sections t · (E, ρ, φ) := (E, ρ, t·φ), and take the quotient stack which is denoted by Mss (y, [L], δ). It is Deligne-Mumford and proper except for finite number of δ ∈ P br . It can be regarded as a moduli stack of oriented reduced L-Bradlow pairs. We refer to Subsection 3.1.3 for such a moduli theoretic meaning. y , L, δ). Remark 1.2.2 There is an e´ tale proper morphism of Mss (y, [L], δ)toMss (

In other words, they are isomorphic up to an e´ tale proper morphism. However, natural obstruction theories are different. Let us consider the case L = O(−m). If δ is sufficiently small, it is non-critical, y , [O(−m)], δ) −→ Mss (

If Mss (

y ) = Ms (

y ), (1.3) is clearly independent of the choice of m, and it is compatible with (1.2). We will obtain an affirmative answer of (C) in Subsection 7.3.1.

y , α∗ ).

1.2.2 Virtual Fundamental Classes There are several well-established methods to deal with a problem similar to (B), which were originally prepared for construction of Gromov-Witten invariants ([71], [6], [82], [40]). In this paper, we follow the method of K. Behrend and B. Fantechi. Namely, we will show that the moduli stacks mentioned in Subsection 1.2.1 are naturally provided with perfect obstruction theories in the sense of [6]. (We will review obstruction theory in Subsection 2.4.1.) This will allow us to construct virtual fundamental classes. Such an obstruction theory may perhaps be well known. For example, it is standard that for any vector bundle E on X (i) the first cohomology group H 1 (X, End(E)) gives the space of infinitesimal deformations, (ii) the second cohomology group H 2 (X, End(E)) gives the space of obstructions. However, the author does not know an appropriate literature to deal with obstruction theories in the sense of [6] for moduli stacks of reduced oriented L-Bradlow pairs and master spaces (Section 1.6), which are suitable for our arguments using the localization technique. Therefore, we give a detailed argument in Chapter 5. As mentioned in Preface, there is another way to define invariants in a purely algebro-geometric way, and to avoid difficulty of non-smoothness of the moduli spaces by using “blow up formula”. (See [81], [94] and Section 1.1 of [53].) However, there is an advantage in defining invariants by using virtual fundamental classes. We know a nice localization theory for virtual fundamental classes due to T. Graber and R. Pandharipande [55]. As explained later, we can use it to study transition of invariants such as Problems 1.2 and 1.3. Even if we have generic smoothness of our moduli stacks, transition of moduli stacks may be singular. Hence, it is desirable to have perfect obstruction theories and to exploit intrinsic smoothness of moduli. Remark 1.2.4 R. P. Thomas gave an obstruction theory of moduli of coherent sheaves with fixed determinant in a different manner [121]. Remark 1.2.5 Recently, the theory of “derived stacks” has been developed, which seems to provide us with a general and powerful tool to construct obstruction theories for some kind of stacks. (See [124] for an overview of the theory.) For example,

1 Introduction

the results in [125] imply the construction of an obstruction theory of moduli stacks of semistable sheaves. It is not clear to the author, at the present moment, whether we can directly apply their results and methods to moduli stacks of semistable oriented reduced L-Bradlow pairs and master spaces, although it seems quite promising. The author would like to come back to this problem in future. However, the author also expects that the same “invariants” would be obtained, even if we adopt a different way in constructing obstruction theories, at least if H 1 (X, OX ) = 0. We should have transition formulas as argued in this monograph, thanks to which it can be reduced to a comparison of the invariants obtained from moduli stacks of objects of rank one. We should have a splitting as in Proposition 6.3.8, and hence it can be reduced to a comparison of the invariants obtained from abelian pairs. (See Subsection 7.5.2 for such a reduction in the case H 2 (X, O) = 0. We may also obtain such a reduction in the case H 2 (X, O) = 0, although the formula would be more complicated.) In the case H 1 (X, O) = 0, moduli spaces of abelian pairs are smooth, and obstruction theories are given by obstruction bundles, which should be as in Subsection 6.3.1. We expect that a comparison of the invariants could be done in this way. Remark 1.2.6 Although we use virtual fundamental classes for defining integrals,

u ), if there are we prefer to using a description like (1.2) instead of [Ms ( y)]vir P (E no risk of confusion.

1.3 Transition Formulas in a Simple Case Let us explain typical results on transition of invariants. We remark that we will use the symbol pX to denote the projection U × X −→ U for any stack U. Integrals over Ms (

y , [L], δ) y , [L], δ). (See SubThere is the relative tautological line bundle Orel (1) on Mss (

section 3.1.5 for the definition.) Let ω denote the first Chern class of Orel (1). If δ is y , [L], δ) = Ms (

We should remark that the integral (1.5) is defined by using the virtual fundamental class [Ms (

y , [L], δ)]vir as mentioned in Subsection 1.2.2. But, we prefer to using a description like (1.5) if there are no risk of confusion. Let δ be critical. We take parameters δ− < δ < δ+ such that |δκ − δ| are sufficiently small for κ = ±. We would like to describe the difference Φ(

y , [L], δ+ ) − Φ(

y , [L], δ− )

as the sum of integrals over the products of moduli stacks of objects with lower ranks. Such a description is called a transition formula. In this section, we explain the results when the following condition is satisfied: (2-stability condition) We say that that the 2-stability condition holds for (y, L, δ), if the automorphism group of any (E, φ) ∈ Mss (y, L, δ) is {1} or Gm .

Preparation To state transition formulas, we prepare some notation. For any y ∈ T ype, the H 0 (X)-component is denoted by rank(y). The reduced Hilbert polynomial Hy / rank(y) is denoted by Py . When a parameter δ is given, we put Pyδ := (Hy + δ)/ rank(y). We set S(y, δ) := (y1 , y2 ) ∈ T ype2 y1 + y2 = y, Pyδ = Pyδ1 = Py2 . Transition Formula I For a given (y1 , y2 ) ∈ T ype2 , we put ri := rank yi . We also set M(y1 , y 2 , L, δ) := Mss (y1 , L, δ) × Mss (

y2 ). On M(y1 , y 2 , L, δ) × X, we have the sheaf E1u which is induced by the universal

u sheaf on Mss (y1 , L, δ) × X via the natural projection. We also have the sheaf E 2 ss which is induced by the universal sheaf on M (

y2 ) × X via the natural projection. Let us describe some cohomology classes on M(y1 , y 2 , L, δ). For that purpose, it is convenient to use equivariant cohomology classes. Let Gm denote a one dimensional torus. Let A∗ denote the bivariant theory. Recall that the Gm -equivariant bivariant group of a point R(Gm ) is defined to be the limit of A∗ (Pm ) with respect to inclusions. Let t be the first Chern class of the tautological line bundle. Then, R(Gm ) Q[t]. It is convenient to use the symbol ew·t to denote the trivial line bundle with a Gm action of weight w ∈ Q. Note that “an action of rational weight” makes sense by considering a covering of Gm . An element of the K-theory of Gm -equivariant perfect complexes is called a virtual Gm -equivariant vector bundle in this monograph. We have the following virtual Gm -equivariant vector bundle on M(y1 , y 2 , L, δ):

Here, we put ω1 := c1 (Or(E1u ))/r1 , and ew·ω1 denotes Or(E1u )w/r1 formally. (See Section 2.7 for a rational power of line bundles.) We obtain its Gm -equivariant Euler class Eu(N0 (y1 , y2 )) ∈ A∗ M(y1 , y 2 , L, δ) ⊗ R(Gm )[t−1 ]. It is invertible in the ring A∗ M(y1 , y 2 , L, δ) ⊗ R(Gm )[t−1 ].

The contributions of (y1 , y2 ) are 0, if pg > 0 and rank(y1 ) > 0.

Transition Formula II The following is called the i-vanishing condition for (y, L, δ): (i-vanishing condition) We have H j (X, L−1 ⊗ E) = 0 for any j ≥ i and for any (E, φ) ∈ Mss (y, L, δ). When a 1-vanishing condition is satisfied, we will be interested in integrals of another kind of cohomology classes. Let M(

y ) denote a moduli stack of oriented torsion-free sheaves of type y which are not necessarily semistable. If the 1-vanishing condition holds for (y, L, δ), the y , [L], δ) −→ M(

1.4 Rank Two Case 1.4.1 Dependence on Polarizations Since a 2-stability condition is always satisfied in the rank two case, we can study Problems 1.2 and 1.3 by using Theorem 1.3.1. We explain our result for Problem 1.2 in this subsection. Let a and n denote the first and second Chern classes of y.

1 Introduction

In the following, we identify H 4 (X, Z) and Z via the natural orientation of X. Let N S(X) denote the subgroup of H 2 (X, Z) generated by algebraic 1-cycles on X. The intersection pairing of α, β ∈ N S(X) is denoted by α · β. Let N S(X)R := N S(X) ⊗ R. The ample cone C is the cone in N S(X)R generated by the first Chern classes of ample line bundles. y ) to To distinguish the dependence on polarizations H, we use the symbol MH (

denote a moduli stack of torsion-free sheaves of type y which are semistable with respect to H.For ξ ∈ N S(X) such that a2 − 4n ≤ ξ 2 < 0, we set W ξ := c ∈ C c · ξ = 0 , which is called the wall determined by ξ ∈ N S(X). Connected components of C − W ξ are called chambers. It is well known that the moduli y ) depends only on the chamber to which H belongs. We define MH (

u ). ΦH (

y ) := P (E MH (

y)

We would like to study how ΦH (

y ) changes when polarizations cross a wall W ξ . We set S0 (y, ξ) := (a0 , a1 ) ∈ N S(X)2 a0 + a1 = a, a0 − a1 = m · ξ (m > 0) . For a non-negative integer l, let X [l] denote a Hilbert scheme of l-points in X. For any (a0 , a1 ) ∈ S0 (y, ξ), we put X [n0 ] × X [n1 ] . X(a0 , a1 ) := n0 +n1 =n−a0 ·a1

On X [n0 ] × X [n1 ] × X, we have the sheaf Iiu , which is the pull back of the universal ideal sheaf over X [ni ] × X via the natural projection. Let eai denote the holomorphic line bundle on X whose first Chern class is ai . It is uniquely determined up to isomorphisms, that X is simply connected in this intro since we have assumed duction. Let Q I0u ea0 −s , I1u ea1 +s be the equivariant Euler class of the following virtual Gm -equivariant vector bundle X [n0 ] × X [n1 ] : − RpX ∗ RHom I0u · ea0 −s , I1u · ea1 +s − RpX ∗ RHom I1u · ea1 +s , I0u · ea0 −s Theorem 1.4.1 Let C+ and C− be chambers which are divided by a wall W ξ . Let H+ and H− be ample line bundles contained in C+ and C− , respectively. We assume (H− , ξ) < 0 < (H+ , ξ). • In the case pg > 0, we have ΦH+ (

y ) = ΦH− (

y ). Namely, the invariants do not depend on the choice of generic polarizations. • In the case pg = 0, we have the following equality:

It is called a weak wall crossing formula. Remark 1.4.2 Under the assumption that the wall W ξ is “good”, the weak wall crossing formula was proved for Donaldson invariants in [26] and [36], which was refined in [53]. Remark 1.4.3 In their amazing work [53], L. G¨ottsche-H. Nakajima-K. Yoshioka established the way to derive the wall crossing formula from the weak wall crossing formula! Remark 1.4.4 K. Yamada proved the independence of invariants from polarizations in some cases.

1.4.2 Reduction to Integrals over Hilbert Schemes Let us argue Problem 1.3 in the case rank(y) = 2. Let a and n denote the first and second Chern classes of y. We also assume pg > 0. For any a1 ∈ N S(X), we put a2 := a − a1 . Let eai denote a holomorphic line bundle whose first Chern class is ai . Let Iiu denote the universal ideal sheaves over X [ni] × X. Let Z i denote the universal 0-schemes over X [ni ] × X. We set Ξi := pX ∗ OZi ⊗ eai . We use the same symbols to denote the pull back of them via appropriate morphisms. Then, we obtain the following cohomology class on X [n1 ] × X [n2 ] : P I1u ea1 −s ⊕ I2u ea2 +s Eu(Ξ1 ) · Eu(Ξ2 e2s ) Ψ (a1 , a2 , n1 , n2 ) := Res s=0 (2s)n1 +n2 −pg Q I1u ea1 −s , I2u ea2 +s In the case c1 (O(1)) · a1 < c1 (O(1)) · a2 , we put A(a1 , y) := n1 +n2 =n−a1 ·a2

X [n1 ] ×X [n2 ]

In the case c1 (O(1)) · a1 = c1 (O(1)) · a2 , we set A(a1 , y) := n1 +n2 =n−a1 ·a2 n1 >n2

Recall that an abelian pair is defined to be a pair of a holomorphic line bundle L and a section φ of L. For c ∈ N S(X), let M (c) denote a moduli space of abelian pairs (L, φ) such that c1 (L) = c. We can show the following proposition. (See Subsections 6.3.1–6.3.2.)

1 Introduction

Proposition 1.4.5 Assume that X is simply connected, and pg > 0. Moreover, we assume that the virtual fundamental class of M (c) is not 0. Then, the expected dimension of M (c) is 0. Hence, the virtual fundamental class of M (c) can be regarded as a number, denoted by SW(c). bethe SeibergLet a ∈ N S(X) be determined by 2c = a + c1 (KX ). Let SW(a) Witten invariant associated to a Spinc -structure ξ such that c1 det(ξ) = a. Then, SW(c) = SW(a). We put SW(X, y) :=

a1 ∈ N S(X)

SW(a1 ) = 0 a1 · c1 (OX (1)) ≤ a · c1 (OX (1)) /2

Theorem 1.4.6 (Theorem 7.4.1) Assume pg > 0 and H 1 (X, O) = 0. Assume Py > PK and χ(y) − 1 ≥ 0, where K denotes the canonical line bundle of X, and we put χ(y) := Td(X) · y for the Todd class Td(X). Then, we have the following equality: Mss (

SW(a1 ) · 21−χ(y) · A(a1 , y) = 0

Remark 1.4.7 The author learned the idea to use Bradlow pairs for reduction of Donaldson invariants to Seiberg-Witten invariants, in [21] and [42]. Theorem 1.4.6 gives some relation among the invariants. However, the above result is not completely satisfactory, because the author has no idea to calculate the coefficients 21−χ(y) · A(a1 , y).

1.5 Higher Rank Case 1.5.1 pg > 0 Let us consider the higher rank case without assuming a 2-stability condition. If pg > 0 is satisfied, transition formulas (Theorems 1.3.1 and 1.3.2) can be generalized rather easily. Actually, we have the formally same result. Theorem 1.5.1 (Theorem 7.5.1) Assume pg > 0. Let Φ(

y , [L], δ) be as in (1.5). Then, the following equality holds:

Here, we put S1 (y, δ) := (y1 , y2 ) ∈ S(y, δ) rank(y1 ) = 1 . We have used the symbol M(y1 , y 2 , L) instead of M(y1 , y 2 , L, δ), because a δ-semistability condition is trivial in the case rank(y1 ) = 1. y , [L], δ) Assume that the 1-vanishing condition holds for (y, L, δ), and let Φ1 (

1.5.3 Weak Intersection Rounding Formula We can study Problem 1.2 by using (1.10), and we obtain a generalization of a weak wall crossing formula. (See Theorem 7.7.1.) We do not reproduce it here. The formula itself is not so easy to treat, partially because it contains integrals over moduli stacks of semistable sheaves with higher ranks. To extract a more accessible quantity from our invariants, we consider “intersection rounding phenomena”, or in other words, “wall crossing of wall crossing”. The general case will be discussed in Section 7.8. In this subsection, we explain the result in the rank 3 case. See Subsection 7.7.4 for more details. W ξ2 H−+ q

1.6 Master Space As mentioned in Preface, we use master spaces due to M. Thaddeus as one of the most important ingredient in this study. We explain how to utilize it in our situation.

1.6 Master Space

17

1.6.1 Master Space in the Case that a 2-Stability Condition is Satisfied We give an outline of the construction of a master space for our moduli stacks, when a 2-stability condition is satisfied (see Section 1.3). To begin with, we give a remark. It is known that coarse moduli schemes of semistable torsion-free sheaves are obtained as the categorical quotient of the sets of the semistable points of some projective varieties provided with actions of reductive groups. But, we will discuss moduli stacks of semistable parabolic sheaves or semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pairs, although we omit to mention parabolic structure in this introduction. The author does not know whether such a description is available for moduli of such parabolic objects. Hence, we need a modification of the construction for master spaces, which we explain in the paragraph “Construction”. But, it is rather technical. So the author recommends the reader to skip to the paragraph “Fixed point set”.

Construction Let y ∈ T ype. We put y(m) := y · ch O(m) . Let Hy be the Hilbert polynomial associated to y. Let Vm be an Hy (m)-dimensional vector space. We put Vm,X := Vm ⊗ OX . The projectivization of Vm is denoted by Pm . Let Q(m, y) denote a quot scheme, that is a moduli scheme of quotient sheaves of Vm,X whose Chern character is y(m). By using Q(m, y), it is easy to construct a moduli scheme Q(m, y ) of quotient sheaves of Vm,X with orientations whose Chern character is y(m). We fix an inclusion ι : O(−m) −→ L. Let δ ∈ P br . Then, we obtain the subscheme Qss (m, y, [L], δ) of Q(m, y) × Pm , which is the moduli scheme of the quotient sheaves (q : Vm,X → E) with non-trivial reduced L-sections [φ] : L −→ E(−m) (see Subsection 3.1.3 for reduced L-sections), satisfying the following condition: • The Chern character of E is y(m), and the pair (E(−m), [φ]) is δ-semistable. We put Qss (m, y , [L], δ) := Qss (m, y, [L], δ) ×Q(m,y) Q(m, y ). 2 Let det(y(m)) denote the H (X)-component ofi y(m). We take a line bundle L such that c1 (L) = det y(m) . We may assume H (X, L) = 0 (i > 0). We denote by Zm the projectivization of H 0 (X, L), which is called the Gieseker space. We put Am := Zm × Pm For a δ ∈ P br , the ample Q-line bundle L is given on Am as follows: L := OZm Pyδ (m) ⊗ OPm δ(m) We have a naturally defined SL(Vm )-action on Am , and L gives an SL(Vm )polarization. Let Ass m (L) denote the open subset of the semistable points with respect to L. It is standard to show that we have an SL(Vm )-equivariant closed immersion Qss (m, y, [L], δ) −→ Ass m (L). We take a large integer k such that L⊗ k is actually a line bundle. We take a nonzero rational number γ whose absolute value is sufficiently small. We put Lγ := L⊗ k ⊗ OPm (γ). Let Ass m (Lγ ) denote the open subset of the semistable points with

18

1 Introduction

respect to Lγ . We take δ− < δ < δ+ sufficiently closely. Let sign(γ) denote the signature of γ. It can be shown that we have a naturally induced closed immersion Qss (m, y, [L], δsign(γ) ) −→ Ass m (Lγ ). We take rational numbers γ2 < 0 < γ1 such that |γi | are sufficiently small. We take a large number k such thatk · (γ1 − γ2 ) = 1. Let π : Am −→ Pm denote the projection. We put B := P π ∗ OPm (0) ⊕ π ∗ OPm (1) , which is a P1 -bundle over Am . The tautological line bundle is denoted by OP (1). We put OB (1) := k ss denote the open OP (1) ⊗ L⊗ γ1 . It gives an SL(Vm )-polarization of B. Let B subset of the semistable points of B with respect to OB (1). We have natural inclusions B1 := P π ∗ OPm (0) ⊂ B, B2 := P π ∗ OPm (1) ⊂ B.

ss We remark OB (1)|Bi = L⊗k γi . Let Bi denote the semistable points of Bi with respect to OB (1). We set

Although this subsection is quite technical, it is one of the cores in this monograph. so we include it in this introduction. We use the notation in Subsection 1.6.1.

Construction Take a sufficiently large m. We set N := Hy (m) = dim Vm . Let Flag(Vm , N ) denote the full flag variety of Vm : Flag(Vm , N ) = F1 ⊂ F2 ⊂ · · · ⊂ FN = Vm dim Fi = i Then, we set B := B × Flag(Vm , N ),

Bi := Bi × Flag(Vm , N ).

Let Gl (Vm ) denote the Grassmannian variety of l-dimensional subspaces of Vm , which has a canonical polarization OGl (1). We have the morphism ρl : Flag(Vm , N ) −→ Gl (Vm ) given by ρl (F∗ ) = Fl . Take small positive numbers ni (i = 1, 2, . . . , N ). We obtain the following SL(Vm )-polarization of B: OB (1) := OB (1) ⊗

Fixed Point Set

A decomposition type for (m, y, δ) is defined to be a datum I := (y1 , y2 , I1 , I2 ) as follows: • y = y1 + y2 in T ype such that Pyδ1 = Pyδ . • N = I1 I2 such that |Ii | = Hyi (m), where Hyi denote the Hilbert polynomials associated to yi . The set of decomposition types for (m, y, δ) is denoted by Dec(m, y, δ). We put k(I) := min(I2 ) − 1 for I = (y1 , y2 , I1 , I2 ) ∈ Dec(m, y, δ). We introduce the notion of (δ, )-semistability. Definition 1.6.3 Let (E, φ) be an L-Bradlow pair on X, and let F be a full flag of H 0 X, E(m) . Let be any positive integer. We say that (E, φ, F) is (δ, )semistable, if the following conditions are satisfied: • (E, φ) is δ-semistable. • Take any Jordan-H¨older filtration of (E, φ) with respect to δ-semistability: E (1) ⊂ E (2) ⊂ · · · ⊂ E (i−1) ⊂ (E (i) , φ) ⊂ · · · ⊂ (E (k) , φ) Then, we have F ∩ H 0 X, E (i−1) (m) = {0} and F ⊂ H 0 X, E (j) (m) for j < k. ss y, L, (δ, ) denote a moduli stack of such tuples (E, φ, F). In the Let M ss y , L, (δ, ) as usual. We obtain a stack oriented case, we use the symbol M ss y , [L], (δ, ) from M ss y , L, (δ, ) as in the case of Mss (

M y , [L], δ). Then, the fixed point set is as follows:

y , [L], δ− ). first term of the left hand side of (1.12) is equal to −Φ(

In the case pg > 0, the second term of (1.12) is significantly simplified, because we

Gm can show vanishing of the virtual fundamental class of M (I) if rank(y1 ) > 1, where I = (y1 , y2 , I1 , I2 ). If rank(y1 ) = 1, the δ, k(I) -semistability condition ss y1 , L, (δ, k(I)) is the full flag bundle over M(y1 , L) is trivial. Therefore, M ss y2 , +) is the associated to the vector bundle pX ∗ E1u (m). On the other hand, M (

ss flag variety bundle over M y 2 , [O(−m)], for any sufficiently small positive number . (See Subsection 4.6.1 for more details.) Hence, we can easily observe that the second term of the left hand side of (1.12) is equal to the right hand side of (1.9). Thus, we obtain the transition formula in the case pg > 0. In the case pg = 0, we need more additional argument. In this case, we can iden ss y 1 , [L], (δ, ) . ss y1 , L, (δ, ) and M tify the virtual fundamental classes of M y , [L], δ− ) Thanks to the equality (1.12), we obtain the expression Φ(

We do not have a simple description of M y1 , [L], (δ, )) as in the case of ss M (

y , [L], δ± ). Hence, (1.13) are not directly related with integrals over the product of moduli stacks of reduced L-Bradlow pairs and semistable sheaves.

1 connecting M ss y 1 , [L], (δ, ) and So we take the enhanced master space M ss y 1 , [L], δ− . Such a space can be constructed by the method in Subsection M 1.6.3. We have only to choose appropriate numbers ni (i = 1, . . . , N ). Let S( ) de(2) (2) (2) (2) note the set of decomposition types I(2) = (y1 , y2 , I1 , I2 ) with the following property: (2)

• {1, . . . , } ⊂ I1 . Then, applying the localization method again, we obtain the following:

We can apply this procedure inductively. Note rank(y1 ) < rank(y1 ) < rank(y). Hence, the inductive process will stop. In principle, we can obtain the general transition formula. However, the general formula would be comparatively complicated, and it is less interesting for the author at this moment. We restrict ourselves to the transition formula in the special case, as in Theorem 1.5.3.

Chapter 2

Preliminaries

In Section 2.1, we prepare some convention. In Section 2.2, we review basic results from the geometric invariant theory. In particular, we recall a sufficient condition for a quotient stack to be Deligne-Mumford and proper. We also recall Mumford-Hilbert criterion, and look at some easy examples. The results will be used in Chapter 4. In Section 2.3, we review some basic facts on cotangent complexes. Then, we recall how to express cotangent complexes of quotient stacks in Subsection 2.3.2, which will be used in Chapter 5 frequently. We also study some more examples in Subsection 2.3.3, which will be used in Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.6. In Section 2.4, we review obstruction theory in the sense of K. Behrend-B. Fantechi [6]. We explain a naive strategy to construct obstruction theories of moduli stacks in Subsection 2.4.2. We recall an obstruction theory of locally free subsheaves in Subsection 2.4.3. It gives obstruction theories of moduli spaces of torsion-free quotient sheaves over a smooth projective surface. The result will be used in Section 5.6. We also obtain the smoothness of moduli spaces of quotient torsion-sheaves over a smooth projective curve, although we will not use it later. In Subsection 2.4.4, we recall an obstruction theory of filtrations of a vector bundle on a smooth projective curve. It will be used to construct a relative obstruction theory for quasi-parabolic structures. In Section 2.5, we recall some standard results for equivariant complexes on Deligne-Mumford stacks with GIT construction, which will be used in Section 5.9. In Section 2.6, we give some elementary remarks on extremal sets, which are used in Sections 4.3–4.4. In Section 2.7, we give remarks on the twist of line bundles.

2.1 Some Convention 2.1.1 Product and Projection Let S be a scheme. Let Y be an algebraic stack over S. Let g : T −→ U be a morphism of algebraic stacks over S. The naturally induced morphism T ×S Y −→ U ×S Y is denoted by gY or simply by g. T.

2 Preliminaries

Let X and U be algebraic stacks over S. We use the symbol pX to denote the projection forgetting the X-component: pX : U ×S X −→ U,

pX (u, x) = u

Similarly, pU denotes the projection U ×S X −→ X.

2.1.2 Vector Bundles Let V be a vector bundle on an algebraic stack Y . The sheaf of local sections of V is also denoted by the same symbol V , if there are no risk of confusion. But, we use some particular notation in the following case: For vector bundles Vi (i = 1, 2), let Hom(V1 , V2 ) denote the sheaf of homomorphisms from V1 to V2 . The corresponding vector bundle is denoted by N (V1 , V2 ). Let F be a vector bundle on Y . The complement of the image of the 0-section in F is denoted by F ∗ , i.e., F ∗ := F − Y , and the dual bundle of F is denoted by F ∨ . The projectivization of F is denoted by P(F ∨ ) or PF .

2.1.3 Coherent Sheaves on a Product Let X be a flat scheme over S, and let U be an algebraic stack over S. A coherent sheaf E over U ×S X is called a U -coherent sheaf, if it is flat over U . A U -coherent sheaf E is called a U -torsion free sheaf, if E|{u}×S X is torsion-free for each u ∈ U . We will often omit to denote “U -”, if there are no risk of confusion. When we are given a line bundle OX (1) on X which is relatively ample over S, we use the symbol E(m) to denote E ⊗ p∗U OX (m) for any coherent sheaf E on U ×S X.

2.1.4 Quotient Stacks Let Z be an algebraic stack over S provided with an action of a group scheme G over S. Then, we use the symbols ZG or Z/G to denote the quotient stack.

2.1.5 Signature in Complexes We follow the signature convention in [68]. We recall some of them for later use in our situation. Let X be an algebraic stack over S. For two bounded OX -complexes C • and D• , let Hom(C • , D• ) denote the complex whose i-th terms are

Assume that we are given a decreasing filtration F (Ea ) = (Fi (Ea ) | i = 1, . . . , l) of Ea such that Coki (Ea ) := Ea /Fi+1 (Ea ) are flat over S. Let Va,• = (Va,−1 → Va,0 ) be locally free resolutions of Ea (a = 1, 2). We set Va(1) := Va,0 ,

Va(l+1) = Va,−1 ,

C2 (V1∗ , V2∗ ) := Cone(ϕ)[−1]. The following lemma is easy to check. Lemma 2.1.1 The complexes Ci (V1∗ , V2∗ ) and the morphism ϕ : C1 (V1∗ , V2∗ ) −→ Hom(V1 • , V2 • ) depend only on (E1 , F ) and (E2 , F ) in the derived category D(D). Notation 2.1.2 We denote Ci (V1∗ , V2∗ ) by RHom i (E1∗ , E2∗ ).

If Ea and Ea /Fj (Ea ) are locally free sheaves for a = 1, 2 and j = 1, . . . , l, then we have vanishings Hi Hom 1 (E1 , E2 ) = 0 (i = 0), and H0 Hom 1 (E1 , E2 ) is isomorphic to the sheaf of homomorphisms of E1 to E2 which preserve the filtrations.

2.1.7 Virtual Vector Bundle Let G be a group scheme over S. Let Y be an algebraic stack over S provided with a (possibly trivial) G-action. Let KG (Y ) denote the K-group of G-equivariant perfect complexes. Elements of KG (Y ) are called virtual G-equivariant vector bundles in this monograph. We often omit to distinguish G.

2.2 Geometric Invariant Theory 2.2.1 GIT Quotient and Algebraic Stacks Let k be an algebraically closed field with characteristic 0. Let G be a linear reductive group over k. Let Y be a projective variety over k, provided with a G-action ρ. Let L be an ample line bundle on Y with a G-action which is a lift of ρ. The lift is also denoted by ρ. We recall some basic definitions. A point y ∈ Y is semistable with respect to L, if there exists a G-invariant section s of L⊗ n for some n > 0 such that s(y) = 0. A point y ∈ Y is defined to be stable with respect to L, if there exists a G-invariant section s of L⊗ n for some n > 0 such that (i) s(y) = 0, (ii) any G-orbits contained in Y −s−1 (0) are closed. Let Y s (L) (resp. Y ss (L)) denote the set of the stable (resp. semistable) points with respect to L. The fundamental theorem of D. Mumford is the following. Proposition 2.2.1 ([96]) There exists a uniform categorical quotient π : Y −→ Y ss //G. Moreover, the following holds:

30

2 Preliminaries

• The map π is affine and universally submersive. • Y ss //G is a projective variety. • There exists the open subset Y s //G of Y ss //G, such that (i) π −1 (Y s //G) = Y s , (ii) π : Y s −→ Y s //G is a universal geometric quotient of Y s . Proof See Proposition 1.9, Theorem 1.10 and Page 40 in [96].

We combine it with some results of A. Vistoli in [129]. Let Y sf denote the set of the stable points of Y whose stabilizers are finite. In this situation, we obtain the quotient stack Y sf /G, which is Deligne-Mumford. See Sections 2 and 7 of [129] for more details on such quotient stacks. We recall one of his results. Proposition 2.2.2 ([129]) The naturally induced morphism Y sf /G −→ Y sf //G is proper. Proof The map Y sf −→ Y sf //G is a universal geometric quotient. In particular, it is universally submersive, and the geometric fibers are precisely the orbits of geometric points of X. Therefore, Y sf //G is a quotient of Y sf by G in the sense of Vistoli. (See Page 630 of [129].) Applying Proposition 2.11 of [129], we can conclude that the map Y sf /G −→ Y sf //G is proper. Corollary 2.2.3 Let Z be a variety over k with a G-action. Let Φ : Z −→ Y be a G-equivariant immersion with the following property: • The stabilizer groups of any points of Z are finite. • The image Φ(Z) is contained in Y s (L). • Φ : Z −→ Y ss (L) is proper. Then, Z/G is Deligne-Mumford and proper. Proof We can regard Z/G as a substack of Y sf /G. We can also regard Z//G as a closed subscheme of Y sf //G ⊂ Y ss //G. Since Y ss //G is projective, Z//G is also projective. According to the previous lemma, the morphism Z/G −→ Z//G is proper. Therefore, Z/G is proper.

2.2.2 Mumford-Hilbert Criterion and Some Elementary Examples Let Y , L and G be as above. Let λ : Gm −→ G be a one-parameter subgroup. We put P (λ) := limt→0 λ(t)·P . Then, λ acts on the fiber L|P (λ) . The weight is denoted by μλ (P, L). Proposition 2.2.4 (Mumford-Hilbert criterion, [96]) The point P is semistable (resp. stable) with respect to L, if and only if μλ (P, L) ≥ 0 (resp. μλ (P, L) > 0) for any one-parameter subgroup λ. Remark 2.2.5 We use the convention to identify a vector bundle and the sheaf of its sections. Hence, the above definition of μλ is the same as that given in [96].

2.2 Geometric Invariant Theory

For later use, we recall some elementary examples. Let V be a vector space over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0 with a base u1 , . . . , uN . Take wi = 0 and wi ≤ wi+1 . Let λ be the one-parameter w1 , . . . , wN ∈ Z such that subgroup of SL(V ) given by λ(t) · ui = twi · ui . Let V (i) denote the subspace Vw denote the weight decomposition of λ, generated by u1 , . . . , ui . Let V = i.e., λ preserves the decomposition, and the action on Vw is the multiplication of tw . We put Gj := w≤j Vw . We denote a point of P(V ∨ ) by [v] by using a representative v ∈ V − {0}. Let us consider the right SL(V )-action on P(V ∨ ) given by g · [v] := [g −1 (v)], which can be lifted to the action on OP(V ∨ ) (1). Lemma 2.2.6 ([96]) μλ [v], OP(V ∨ ) (1) = min i vi ∈ Gi . In other words, μλ [v], O(1) = wi · dim V (i) ∩ v − dim V (i−1) ∩ v i

=

j · dim Gj ∩ v − dim Gj−1 ∩ v .

Here v denotes the subspace generated by v.

Proof According to the weight decomposition V = Vi , we have the decompo sition v = vi . In P(V ∨ ), we have % " # $ −i λ(t)[v] = λ(t)−1 v = t · vi . We put i0 := max i | vi = 0 = min i v ∈ Gi . It is easy to see lim λ(t)[v] = [vi0 ].

t→0

The weight of λ on OP(V ∨ ) (1)|[vi0 ] is i0 . Thus, the first claim is obtained. The second claim follows from the first one. Let Gl (V ) denote the Grassmann variety of l-dimensional subspaces of V : Gl (V ) := ι : W ⊂ V dim W = l . &l ∨ &l We have the Pl¨ucker embedding Gl (V ) −→ P given by W −→ V W ⊂ &l V . It induces a polarization OGl (V ) (1) of Gl (V ). The group SL(V ) has the right action on Gl (V ) given by ι −→ g −1 ◦ ι, which can be lifted to that on OGl (V ) (1). Lemma 2.2.7 For any point W of Gl (V ), we have the following equality: N rank W ∩ V (i) − rank W ∩ V (i−1) · wi μλ W, OGl (V ) (1) = i=1

We have λ(t)(u one-parameter subgroup of SL J ) = t · uJ . Let us take a base v1 , . . . , vl of W of the form v h = uih + j wI . We have μλ W, OGl (V ) (1) = μλ z, OP(& l V ∨ ) (1) = wI according to Lemma 2.2.6. Then, it is easy to derive the claim of the lemma. We also have the Grassmann variety G l of l-dimensional quotients: G l (V ) := q : V −→ Q dim Q = l &l We have the Plucker embedding G l (V ) −→ P V given by the correspondence &l &l &l q: V −→ Q . It induces a polarization OGl (V ) (1). q −→ Lemma 2.2.8 ([96], [87]) Let q : V −→ Q be a point of G l (V ). We put W := Ker(q). Then, we have the following equality: N wi · dim V (i) ∩ W − dim V (i−1) ∩ W − 1 μλ q, OGl (V ) (1) = i=1

OGl (V ) (1)| q is −i · dim Vi /W Remark 2.2.9 We have the obvious isomorphism Gl (V ) G N −l (V ). However, it does not preserve the semistability conditions on the varieties induced by the Pl¨ucker embeddings.

2.3 Cotangent Complex 2.3.1 Basic Facts Recall some fundamental property of cotangent complexes from [64], [79] and [111]. Let X and Y be Deligne-Mumford stacks with e´ tale site. For any morphism f : X −→ Y of Delinge-Mumford stacks, the cotangent complex was introduced by L. Illusie [64] as a complex of OX -modules. It is denoted by LX /Y or Lf . Recall that the cotangent complex controls deformations of f in the following sense

(Section 3 [64]). Let T be a scheme over Y, and let h : T −→ X be a Y-morphism. Let T be a Y-scheme such that T is a closedY-subscheme of T and the corresponding ideal J is square-zero, i.e., J 2 = {f · g f, g ∈ J} = 0. Proposition 2.3.1 (Illusie, [64]) We have the obstruction class o(h) ∈ Ext1 (h∗ LX /Y , J) with the following property: • The morphism h can be extended over T , if and only if o(h) vanishes. In the case o(h) = 0, the set of the extension classes is a torsor over the group Ext0 h∗ LX /Y , J . Cotangent complexes have a nice functorial property. For example, we have the distinguished triangle for a morphism Y −→ Z, f ∗ LY/Z −→ LX /Z −→ LX /Y −→ f ∗ LY/Z [1] in the derived category D(X ). As for general Artin stacks with lisse-´etale site, cotangent complexes with some good functorial property have been introduced by G. Laumon, L. Moret-Bailly and M. Olsson (Section 17 of [79] and Section 8 of [111]). For any Artin stack X , Olsson

(X ) of the projective systems introduced the category Dqcoh K = (· · · → K≥−n−1 → K≥−n → · · · → K≥ 0 ) in D+ (X ) such that K≥ −n −→ τ≥−n K≥−n and τ≥ −n K≥ −n−1 −→ τ≥ −n K≥ −n are isomorphisms. Here τ≥ −n denotes the canonical n-th truncation functor. See

(X ). Let f : X −→ Y be a quasi-compact [111] for the functorial property of Dqcoh and quasi-separated morphism of Artin stacks. Then, we can associate −n−1 −n ≥0

LX /Y = Lf = · · · → L≥ → L≥ X /Y X /Y → · · · → LX /Y ∈ Dqcoh (X ) to each f with the following property (Theorem 8.1 [111]): −n • If X and Y are algebraic spaces, L≥ X /Y are isomorphic to τ≥ −n LX /Y in + Dqcoh (X ), where the latter LX /Y denotes the usual cotangent complex defined by Illusie. • When we are given a 2-commutative diagram of Artin stacks f

we have the functorial morphism Lf ∗ LX /Y −→ LX /Y . If the diagram is 2-Cartesian, and if one of g or h is flat, then the morphism Lf ∗ LX /Y −→ LX /Y is an isomorphism. • Let f : X −→ Y be a morphism of Artin stacks. Let g : Y −→ Z be another morphism. Then, we have the distinguished triangle Lf ∗ LY/Z −→ LX /Z −→ LX /Y −→ Lf ∗ LY/Z [1]

in Dqcoh (X ).

The following properties can be derived directly from the construction. (See Section 8 of [111] for the construction of LX /Y .) −n • Each L≥ X /Y is an object in Dqcoh (X ). • If f is smooth and representable, then LX /Y is quasi-isomorphic to its 0-th cohomology sheaf, which is isomorphic to the locally free sheaves of Kahler dif−n ferentials ΩX /Y . In general, if f is smooth, any L≥ X /Y is of perfect amplitude [−n,1]

0 contained in [0, 1]. In particular, they are isomorphic to L≥ X /Y .

Remark 2.3.2 M. Aoki generalized the deformation theory of Illusie, and showed a natural generalization of Proposition 2.3.1 for Artin stacks [2].

Then, we have f ∗ LkGL(R) /k End(E)[−1]. Let H denote the composite of F and the canonical map YG −→ SG . Let P (H) denote the G-torsor over Z corresponding to H.

2 Preliminaries

Corollary 2.3.4 The morphism F ∗ LYG /SG −→ H ∗ LSG /S [1] on Z is obtained as the descent of α : F ∗ ΩY /S −→ ΩP (F )/Z . Proof We have the distinguished triangle H ∗ LSG /S −→ F ∗ LYG /S −→ F ∗ LYG /SG −→ H ∗ LSG /S [1]. By Proposition 2.3.3, we understand the morphism H ∗ LSG /S −→ F ∗ LYG /S . Then, we understand the morphism F ∗ LYG /SG −→ H ∗ LSG /S [1]. Let us argue the naturality of the expression in Proposition 2.3.3. Let Gi (i = 1, 2) be smooth S-group schemes with a homomorphism a : G1 −→ G2 . Let Yi (i = 1, 2) be S-schemes provided with G-actions. For simplicity, we assume that Yi are smooth. Let g : Y1 −→ Y2 be an equivariant morphism through the morphism a. Let [g] : Y1 G1 −→ Y2 G2 denote the induced morphism. Let h1 : Z −→ Y1 G1 be a morphism. The composite [g] ◦ h1 is denoted by h2 . We would like to obtain an expression of the morphism h∗2 LY2,G2 /S −→ h∗1 LY1,G1 /S . hi : We have corresponding Gi -torsors Pi over Z with G-equivariant morphisms P −→ Yi . We can identify P2 = (P1 ×S G2 )/G1 , where the G1 -action on P1 ×S G2 is given by g1 (y, g2 ) = (yg1−1 , g1 g2 ). Let ι : P1 −→ P2 denote the natural inclusion. We have the following commutative diagram: h

Note that the descent of Cone(−ι∗ α2 ) with respect to the G1 -action is naturally isomorphic to the descent of Cone(−α2 ) with respect to the G2 -action. Lemma 2.3.5 The morphism c : h∗2 LY2 G2 /S −→ h∗1 LY1 G1 /S is the descent of the induced morphism Cone(−ι∗ α2 )[−1] −→ Cone(−α1 )[−1]. Proof According to the functorial construction of Proposition 2.3.3, we have only to consider the case Y1 = Y2 =: Y . Let us consider the case Y = S. Since h∗i LSGi /S are isomorphic to the H 1 -cohomology sheaves H1 h∗i LSGi /S , we have only to identify the pull back of H1 (c) via the pull back P1 −→ Z, which can be done easily. Let us consider the general case. Let ki : Z −→ SGi denote the naturally defined morphism. We have the distinguished triangles ki∗ LSGi /S −→

h∗i LYi,Gi /S −→ h∗i LYi,Gi /SGi . By the above argument, we know the induced morphism k2∗ LSG2 /S −→ k1∗ LSG1 /S . The isomorphism h∗2 LY2,G2 /SG2 h∗1 LY1,G1 /SG1 is easy to understand. Hence, we can identify h∗2 LY2,G2 /S h∗1 LY1,G1 /S . Remark 2.3.6 Let G1 be a smooth group scheme over S. Assume that Y is provided with a G1 -action, which commutes with the G-action. It induces a G1 -action on YG . Moreover, assume that Z is also provided with a G1 -action such that F is G1 -equivariant. Then, we have the naturally induced G1 -action on the complex Cone(−α)[−1], which commutes with the G-action. It induces a G1 -action on the descent of Cone(−α)[−1] on Z. In particular, we obtain a G1 -equivariant repre sentative of F ∗ LYG /S . Let π : Y −→ YG denote the canonical projection. By Proposition 2.3.3, LYG /S α on YG is the descent of ΩY /S −→ ΩY /YG given on Y with respect to the natural G-action, where ΩY /S stands in the degree 0. Lemma 2.3.7 Let g denote the tangent space of G at the unit, or equivalently the vector space of the right invariant vector fields, and let g∨ denote the dual. Then, ΩY /YG g∨ ⊗ OY . Proof Let p1 , p2 : Y ×S G −→ Y be given by the natural projection and the G-action. Let r1 , r2 , r3 : Y ×S G2 −→ Y ×S G be given by r1 (y, g, h) = (y, g), r2 (y, g, h) = (y, gh) and r3 (y, g, h) = (yg, h).

Then, Ωπ is obtained as the descent of Ωp2 by the identification r1∗ Ωp2 r2∗ Ωp2 . Hence, the claim of the lemma follows. Let ΘY /S denote the relative tangent bundle of Y /S. The G-action on Y induces the map A : g ⊗ OY −→ ΘY /S . The dual of A is denoted by A∨ . Lemma 2.3.8 The map α : ΩY /S −→ g∨ ⊗OY is given by the dual of −A. Namely, we have π ∗ LYG /S Cone(A∨ )[−1]. Proof Let pi : Y ×YG Y −→ Y denote the projection onto the i-th component. We have the following factorization of p∗1 α: p∗1 ΩY /S −→ ΩY ×YG Y /S −→ Ωp2 p∗1 ΩY /YG Each morphism is induced by the natural differential. Let us take the identification Y ×YG Y Y ×S G, for which p1 and p2 correspond to the natural projection onto Y and the G-action, respectively. Let y be any closed point of Y , and let e be the unit of G. We have p1 (y, e) = p2 (y, e) = y. We denote the differential of pi at (y, e) by T(y,e) pi . Let us consider

the specialization of the dual of p∗1 α at (y, e). Then, it is the composite of the inclusion Ker(T(y,e) p2 ) ⊂ T(y,e) T(y,e) (Y ×S G) −→ and the natural projection (Y ×S G) Ty Y . Since we have Ker T(y,e) p2 (−Av, v) v ∈ g g, the map is −A. Since α can be recovered from p∗1 α, the claim of the lemma is proved. Remark 2.3.9 Since F ∗ LYG /S is obtained as the descent of F ∗ Cone(A∨ )[−1] for a morphism F : Z −→ YG , Lemma 2.3.8 is useful for calculation. Example 2.2. Let k be a field. Let Wi (i = −1, 0) be Ri -dimensional vector spaces over k. Let N (W−1 , W0 ) denote the vector space of linear maps from W−1 to W0 . We have the right GL(W−1 ) × GL(W0 )-action on N (W−1 , W0 ) given by (g−1 , g0 ) · f = g0−1 ◦ f ◦ g−1 . Hence, we obtain the quotient stack Y (W• ) := N (W−1 , W0 )GL(W−1 )×GL(W0 ) . Let X and U be algebraic stacks over k. Let Vi (i = −1, 0) be vector bundles on U × X whose ranks are Ri . Let f : V−1 −→ V0 be a morphism of OU ×X -modules. Then, we obtain a morphism Φf : U × X −→ Y (W• ). We claim that Φ∗f LY (W• )/k is represented by the following complex: α Hom V0 , V−1 −→ Hom V0 , V0 ⊕ Hom(V−1 , V−1 ). Here Hom V0 , V−1 stands in degree 0, and the map α is given by α(a) = f ◦ a, −a ◦ f . ∨ We remark that it is isomorphic to Hom V• , V• ≤0 [−1]. (See Subsection 2.1.5.) To show the claim, we have only to be careful on signatures. We can argue it formally. Let f be an element of N (W−1 , W0 ). The differential of the action of GL(W−1 ) × GL(W0 ) gives the map: End(W−1 ) ⊕ End(W0 ) −→ Tf N (W−1 , W0 ) = N (W−1 , W0 ),

If we regard W−1 −→ W0 as a complex, (2.7) can be regarded as Hom(W• ,W• )≥ 0 . ∨ Then, the cotangent complex is represented by Hom(W• , W• )≥ 0 [−1], according to Lemma 2.3.8. Example 2.3. Let X be an algebraic stack. Let Ea (a = −1, 0) be vector bundles on X with a morphism f : E−1 −→ E0 . We regard E−1 as a group scheme over X, which acts on E0 through f . The quotient stack is denoted by Q(E0 , E−1 ). For simplicity, we assume that f is an injection as a morphism of OX -modules. Let E0 /E−1 denote the quotient OX -module. A section of g of E0 /E−1 corresponds to a morphism Φ(g) : X −→ Q(E0 , E−1 ). The correspondence is given as π follows: From a section g, we obtain an extension 0 −→ E−1 −→ G −→ OX −→ 0.

We obtain a E−1 -torsor P = π −1 (1) with an equivariant morphism P −→ E0 , i.e., a morphism Φ(g) : X −→ Q(E0 , E−1 ). The pull back of the cotangent complex Φ(g)∗ LQ(E0 ,E−1 )/X is denoted by (E−1 −→ E0 )∨ . Let us consider the following diagram: ψ

π ∗ ψ ∗ LSG /S ψ∗ LS/SG [−1]

The natural morphism π ∗ ψ ∗ LSG /S −→ π ∗ LYG /S is induced by ψ∗ LS/SG −→ LY /YG . The distinguished triangle π ∗ ψ ∗ LSG /S −→ π ∗ LYG /S −→ π ∗ LYG /SG −→ π ∗ ψ ∗ LSG /S [1] is identified with the following: ψ∗ LS/SG [−1] −→ Cone LY /S → LY /YG [−1] −→ LY /S −→ ψ∗ LS/SG Then, the claim of the lemma follows.

2.3.3 Some More Examples The technical results in this subsection will be used in Sections 6.3–6.6. The author recommends the reader to skip here. Let X be a smooth connected projective surface, and let U1 be a quasi-compact algebraic stack. Let U0 be a substack of U1 . Let F be a U1 -coherent sheaf with a section ϕ over U1 × X. We assume the following: (A):

pX ∗ F is locally free, and U0 is contained in the induced section ϕ of pX ∗ F.

In this subsection, such a data is called a resolution of (F, ϕ). Note that the restriction of φ to U0 × X induces a section φ0 of E0 . Note that there always exists such a resolution. For example, we have the following construction. Take a sufficiently large integer m0 , and we put E1 := p∗X pX∗ F(m0 ) ⊗ p∗U1 OX (−m0 ), E1 := E1 ⊕ OU1 ×X . The natural morphism E1 −→ F and ϕ induce a morphism π1 : E1 −→ F. We set E0 := Ker π1 . We take a sufficiently large m1 , and we put Va,0 := p∗X pX∗ Ea (m1 ) ⊗ p∗U1 OX (−m1 ), Va,−1 := Ker Va,0 −→ Ea . Then, we obtain a diagram with the desired property.

It is easy to see that the composite b1 ◦b0 is an isomorphism, under the assumption Ri pX ∗ F = 0 (i > 0). Thus, the proof of Proposition 2.3.13 is finished. We have a similar result for a smooth projective curve. Since the argument is similar and simpler, we explain only the statement. Let D be a smooth projective curve. Let F be a U1 -coherent sheaf on U1 × D with a section ϕ. Assume the following: (A’) pD ∗ F is locally free, and U1 is contained in the 0-set of the induced section ϕ of pD ∗ F. Let (E0 → E1 ) be a locally free resolution of F on U1 × D with a section of φ of E1 such that the composite O −→ E1 −→ F is ϕ. It is called a resolution of (F, ϕ). A section φ0 of V0 | U0 ×D is induced. We put k(E• , ϕ) := Hom(OU0 ×D , V•|U0 ×D )∨ . Let us construct a morphism r(E• , ϕ) : k(E• , ϕ) −→ LU0 ×D/U1 ×D . We put Za := N (O, Ea ) for a = 0, 1. Then, we have the naturally defined morphism Z0 −→ Z1 . The sections φ and φ0 induce the following commutative diagram: j

U1 × D −−−−→ Z1 It induces a morphism r(E• , ϕ) : k(E• , ϕ) j ∗ LZ0 /Z1 −→ LU0 ×D/U1 ×D . It can be shown that r(E• , ϕ) and k(E• , ϕ) depend only on (F, ϕ), as in Lemma 2.3.11. Therefore, we use the symbols r(F, ϕ) and k(F, ϕ) to denote them. We set Ob(F, ϕ) := RpD ∗ k(F, ϕ) ⊗ ωD . We have the induced morphism ob(F, ϕ) : Ob(F, ϕ) −→ LU0 /U1 . It is functorial as in Lemma 2.3.12. Now, we assume Ri pD ∗ F = 0 for i > 0. We put V := pX ∗ F. We have the induced section ϕ. We obtain the diagram (2.10). It induces a morphism κ : V∨ [1] −→ LU0 /U1 . Proposition 2.3.14 Under the assumption Ri pD ∗ F = 0 for i > 0, we have the following commutative diagram: ob(F ,ϕ)

2.4 Obstruction Theory 2.4.1 Definition and Fundamental Theorems In the study of Gromov-Witten theory, M. Kontsevich, J. Li-G. Tian, K. BehrendB. Fantechi and K. Fukaya-K. Ono introduced the notion of virtual fundamental classes of moduli stacks with some good structure. (See [71], [82], [6] and [40]. See also the recent work of I. Ciocan-Fontanine and M. Kapranov [15].) In this paper, we follow the framework of Behrend-Fantechi. See [6] for more details and precise. The paper [55] of T. Graber-R. Pandharipande is also very useful, in which they studied localization of virtual fundamental classes. Definition 2.4.1 Let S be an algebraic stack, and let X be an algebraic stack over S. Let E • be an object in D(X ) such that Hi (E • ) are coherent (i = −1, 0, 1). A homomorphism φ : E • −→ LX /S is called an obstruction theory for X /S, if Hi (φ) (i ≥ 0) are isomorphic and H−1 (φ) is surjective. In that case, E • is also called an obstruction theory for X /S. Because Hi (LX ) = 0 for i > 1, the condition implies Hi (E • ) = 0 for i > 1. If X is Deligne-Mumford, we also have H1 (E • ) = H1 (LX ) = 0. We will often use the following theorem of Behrend-Fantechi. Proposition 2.4.2 (Theorem 4.5, [6]) Let X be a Deligne-Mumford stack over S. Let φ : E • −→ LX /S be a morphism in D(X ). The following conditions are equivalent. • φ is an obstruction theory. • Let T and T be S-schemes such that T is a closed subscheme of T whose ideal sheaf J is square-zero. Let g : T −→ X be a morphism over S. (A1) g can g : T −→ X over S, if and only if be extended to a morphism φ∗ o(g) = 0 in Ext1 g ∗ E • , J , where o(g) is the obstruction class of g. (See Proposition 2.3.1.) (A2) If φ∗ o(g) = 0, the set of the extension classes of g is a torsor over the group Ext0 g ∗ E • , J . We recall the notion of perfect obstruction theory in the sense of BehrendFantechi with a minor generalization. Definition 2.4.3 Let φ : E • −→ LX /S be an obstruction theory of an algebraic stack X over S. It is called perfect, if it is quasi-isomorphic to a complex of locally free sheaves F −1 → F 0 → F 1 in the derived category D(X ). In that case, the number − rank F 1 + rank F 0 − rank F −1 is well defined on each connected component of X . It is called the expected dimension of X over S with respect to φ.

2.4 Obstruction Theory

If X is Deligne-Mumford, we have H1 (E • ) = H1 (LX ) = 0 for any obstruction theory E • . Hence, a perfect obstruction theory is quasi-isomorphic to a two-term locally free complex F −1 → F 0 . The important and foundational theorem of Behrend and Fantechi is the following. (See also [82].) Proposition 2.4.4 (Section 5 [6]) Let X be a Deligne-Mumford stack over a smooth scheme S. Let A∗ (X ) denote the Chow group of X with rational coefficient. A perfect obstruction theory φ : E • −→ LX /S induces an element [X , φ] ∈ Ad (X ) called virtual fundamental class, where d is the expected dimension with respect to φ. If X is smooth, [X , φ] is the Euler class of the vector bundle H1 E • ∨ . We often use the notation [X ] instead of [X , φ], if there are no risk of confusion. Remark 2.4.5 In Definition 2.4.3, E • is assumed to be quasi-isomorphic to a complex F • of locally free sheaves. According to A. Kresch [75], the existence of such a global complex is not necessary for construction of virtual fundamental class. Namely, Proposition 2.4.4 holds, if E • is locally quasi-isomorphic to a two-term locally free complex. Let S, X , φ : E • −→ LX /S be as in Proposition 2.4.4. Let S be a smooth scheme, and let ι : S −→ S be a morphism. We set X := X ×S S with the natural morphism ι : X −→ X . Proposition 2.4.6 (Proposition 7.2, [6]) The induced morphism ι∗ φ : ι∗ E • −→ LX /S is also a perfect obstruction theory. Let [X , ι∗ φ] denote the associated virtual fundamental class. Assume that ι is either (i) a closed regular immersion, or (ii) flat. Then, we have the relation ι∗1 [X , φ] = [X , ι∗ φ]. Let Xi (i = 1, 2) be algebraic stacks over S provided with obstruction theories φi : Ei• −→ LXi /S . Assume we have the following commutative diagram: f

2 Preliminaries

Proposition 2.4.8 (Proposition 7.5, [6]) Assume Xi are Deligne-Mumford, and the obstruction theories φi are perfect. If φi are compatible over h, then we have the equality h! [X2 , φ2 ] = [X1 , φ1 ] at least if h is smooth or Yi are smooth over S.

2.4.2 Easy Example Let X be a smooth variety over k. We would like to construct an obstruction theory of the moduli spaces M of some objects on X. A naive strategy is summarized as follows (See [6], for example): 1. Take a classifying stack Y of such objects over X. It means that such objects over U × X bijectively correspond to morphisms Φ : U × X −→ Y over X. For example, recall that vector bundles of rank R over U × X correspond to morphisms U × X −→ XGL(R) over X. 2. Any classifying maps Φ : U × X −→ Y induce morphisms Φ∗ LY /X −→ LU ×X/X on U ×X. Let ωX denote the dualizing complex on X, i.e., it is the canonical line bundle shifted by the dimension of X. Then, we obtain the following morphisms on U : ObU := RpX∗ Φ∗ LY /X ⊗ ωX −→ RpX∗ p∗X LU/k ⊗ ωX −→ LU/k . In particular, a morphism ObM −→ LM on M is induced by a universal object. 3. We hope that the morphism ObM −→ LM is an obstruction theory, in some cases. Note that the property is local, once the morphism is given globally. Thus we have only to check the claim for sufficiently small e´ tale open subsets of M. Proposition 2.4.2 provides us with a useful tool to check it. Remark 2.4.9 In general, we need some modification in construction of ObM to obtain a good obstruction theory. Let us look at the easiest example. Let F and V be vector bundles on X. Let U be any scheme over k, and let f : p∗U (F ) −→ p∗U (V ) be a morphism of OU ×X modules over U × X. It is easy to see that such a morphism f corresponds to a morphism Φf : U × X −→ N (F, V ) over X. We obtain a complex g(f ) := Φ∗f LN (F,V )/X and a morphism g(f ) −→ LU ×X/X in the derived category D(U × X).

2.4 Obstruction Theory

Lemma 2.4.10 g(f ) is represented by p∗U Hom(V, F ). Proof Let π : N (F, V ) −→ X denote the natural projection. Since the morphism N (F, V ) −→ X is smooth, the cotangent complex LN (F,V )/X is quasi-isomorphic to ΩN (F,V )/X π ∗ Hom(V, F ), and thus Φ∗f LN (F,V )/X p∗U Hom(V, F ). We set Ob(f ) := RpX∗ g(f ) ⊗ ωX . Then, we obtain morphisms Ob(f ) −→ RpX∗ LU ×X/X ⊗ ωX −→ LU in the derived category D(U ). The composite is denoted by ob(f ). Now, let M (F, V ) denote a moduli scheme of morphisms F −→ V , i.e., maps U −→ M (F, V ) bijectively correspond to f : p∗U (F ) −→ p∗U (V) on U × X. It is easy to see that M (F, V ) is isomorphic to the vector space H 0 X, Hom(F, V ) . We have the universal morphism f u : p∗M (F,V ) (F ) −→ p∗M (F,V ) (V ) over M (F, V ) × X. It induces a morphism ob(f u ) : Ob(f u ) −→ LM (F,V ) . Lemma 2.4.11 ob(f u ) gives an obstruction theory of M (F, V ). Proof It is almost obvious from the universal properties of N (F, V ) and M (F, V ). However, we give a rather detailed argument as an explanation. We have only to check the conditions (A1) and (A2) in Proposition 2.4.2. Since the claim is local, we can check the claim for any sufficiently small open subset U of M (F, V ). Let T be an affine scheme over k. A morphism g : T −→ U induces morphisms gX : T × X −→ U × X and gX = Φf u ◦ gX : T × X −→ N (F, V ) over X. Let T denote a scheme such that T is embedded in T whose ideal J is square-zero. Deformations of ∗the morphisms g and gX is controlled by the groups LN (F,V )/X , JX , respectively. We have the followExti g ∗ LU/k , J and Exti gX ing commutative diagram: h Exti g ∗ LU/k , J −→ Exti g ∗ Ob(f u ), J ∗ ↓ ∗↑ = ∗ Exti gX LU ×X/X , JX −→ Exti gX (g), JX −→ Exti gX LN (F,V )/X , JX We have the obstruction classes o(g) ∈ Ext1 g ∗ LU/k , J ,

∗ o( gX ) ∈ Ext1 gX g, JX

of the morphisms g and gX respectively. By the functoriality of the cotangent complex, the obstruction class o(g) is mapped to the obstruction class o( gX ) in the above diagram.

48

2 Preliminaries

If the image h o(g) is 0, the class o( gX ) is 0. Hence, gX can be extended to a morphism T × X −→ N (F, V ), which induces a morphism of p∗T (F ) −→ p∗T (V ) on T × X. By the universal property of M (F, V ), we obtain a morphism T −→ M (F, V ) which is an extension of g. Therefore, the condition ∗ (A1) is satisfied. Similarly, we can show that Ext0 g ∗ LU/k , J −→ Ext0 gX LN (F,V )/X , J is an isomorphism by the universality of M (F, V ) and N (F, V ). Hence, the condition (A2) is also satisfied. Thus we are done.

2.4.3 Locally Free Subsheaves Let X be a smooth projective variety over k with an ample line bundle OX (1). Let V be a locally free sheaf on X. Let W denote an R-dimensional k-vector space. We denote W ⊗ OX by WX . We have the natural right GL(W )-action on N (WX , V ). The quotient stack is denoted by Yquo (W• ). We consider deformations of locally free subsheaves of V with rank R. Let U be any k-scheme. Any locally free subsheaf f : F −→ p∗U V on U × X with rank F = R induces a morphism Φ(F, f ) : U × X −→ Yquo (W• ) over X. We put g(F, f ) := Φ(F, f )∗ LYquo (W• )/X Ob(F, f ) := RpX∗ g(F, f ) ⊗ ωX Then, we obtain morphisms g(F, f ) −→ LU ×X/X on U × X, and ob(F, f ) : Ob(F, f ) −→ LU on U . The following lemma can be shown by using the argument explained in Subsection 2.3.2. Lemma 2.4.12 g(F, f ) is represented by Cone(α)[−1] of the morphism α : Hom(p∗U V, F ) −→ Hom(F, F ) given by α(a) = a ◦ f .

Remark 2.4.13 We put V−1 := F and V0 := p∗U V , and we regard V• = (V−1 → V0 ) as a complex, where V0 stands in the degree 0. Then, Cone(α) is naturally isomorphic to Hom(V−1 [1], V• )∨ [−1]. Let H be a polynomial. We have a moduli scheme of quotients (q : V −→ Q) of V such that the Hilbert polynomials of Q are H. Let M (V, H) denote the open subscheme which consists of the points (q : V −→ Q) such that Ker(q) are locally free. Then, we have the universal family f u : F u −→ p∗M (V,H) (V ) defined over M (V, H) × X. A morphism ob(F u , f u ) : Ob(F u , f u ) −→ LM (V,H) is induced.

Proposition 2.4.14 ob(F u , f u ) is an obstruction theory of M (V, H). Proof Let N be a sufficiently the condition ON for the large number satisfying family F u , i.e., we have H i X, F u (N )|{q}×X = 0 for any q ∈ M (V, H) and u i > 0, and F|{q}×X (N ) are globally generating for any q ∈ M (V, H). We put u u ∗ F := pX pX∗ F (N ) ⊗ O(−N ). We have the natural surjection g : F u −→ F u . We put F = O(−N )⊕ d , where d = rank F u . We have the Grassmaniann bundle π : Gr(F , R) −→ X associated to the vector bundle F , i.e., the fiber of π over a point x ∈ X is the Grassmann variety of R-dimensional quotient spaces of the vector space F |x . We denote the universal quotient bundle over Gr(F , R) by Q. Then, we have the vector bundle Yquo := N (Q, π ∗ V ) over Gr(F , R), which is a variety smooth over X. We have the natural morphism π1 : Yquo −→ Yquo (W• ). We would like to check the conditions (A1) and (A2) in Proposition 2.4.2. Let U be any sufficiently small open set of M (V, H), on which we can assume that there exists an isomorphism Fu p∗U F . Thus, the surjection γ : p∗U F −→ F u is given on U × X. From γ and f u , we obtain a morphism Φ(γ, F u , f u ) : U × X −→ Yquo over X. By the argument in Subsection 2.3.2, we can show that the complex Φ(γ, F u , f u )∗ LYquo /X is represented by the cone Cone(β)[−1] for the morphism β : Hom(p∗U V, F u ) ⊕ Hom(F u , p∗U F ) −→ Hom(F u , F u ) β(b1 , b2 ) = b1 ◦ f u − f u ◦ b2 . We can also show that the natural morphisms Cone(α)[−1] −→ Cone(β)[−1] −→ LU ×X/X is the same as the factorization: Φ(F u , f u )∗ LYquo /X −→ Φ(γ, F u , f u )∗ LYquo /X −→ LU ×X/X associated to U × X −→ Yquo −→ Yquo (W• ). We set g(γ, F u , f u ) := Φ(γ, F u , f u )∗ LYquo /X Ob(γ, F u , f u ) := RpX∗ g(γ, F u , f u ) ⊗ ωX . Let T be an affine scheme. Let g : T −→ U be a morphism, which induces gX : T × X −→ U × X. We put gX := Φ(F u , f u ) ◦ gX and g X := Φ(γ, F u , f u ) ◦ gX . For any coherent sheaf J on T , we have the following commutative diagram:

Let T be an affine scheme into which T is embedded closedly such that the corresponding ideal J is square-zero. According to the deformation theory of Illusie, we have the obstruction g and g X in the groups ∗ classesu of uthe morphisms g(γ, F , f ), J respectively. The classes are deExt1 (g ∗ LU/k , J) and Ext1 gX gX ) in the diagram noted by o(g) and o(

gX ). By functoriality, o(g) is mapped to o(

(2.11). If h11 (o(g)) is 0, then the morphism g X can be extended. Note that the cohomology sheaves Ri pX∗ Hom(F u , p∗U F )⊗ωX vanish unless i = 0, because of our choice of N . Thus, we have the isomorphisms Exti g ∗ Ob(γ, F u , f u ), J Exti g ∗ Ob(F u , f u ), J forany i> 0 and for any coherent sheaf J on T . Hence, h12 ◦ h11 (o(g)) = 0 implies h11 o(g) = 0. Then, the morphism g X can be extended over T × X, and hence gX can also be extended over T × X. Therefore, we obtain a locally free subsheaf F

∗ F u . By the universal property of of p∗T (V ) on T × X, which is an extension of gX M (V, H), the morphism g can be extended over T . Therefore, the condition (A1) is satisfied. Let us check the condition (A2). We set ∗ Hom(F u , p∗U F ) ⊗ ωX , J H0 := Ext0 pX∗ gX = H 0 T, g ∗ End pX ∗ F u (m) ⊗ J ∗ LYquo /X , JX H1 := Ext0 g ∗ Ob(g, F u , f u ), J = Ext0 g X H2 := Ext0 g ∗ Ob(F u , f u ), J We obtain an exact sequence 0 −→ H0 −→ H1 −→ H2 −→ 0. According to the

: T × X −→ Yquo theory of Illusie, H1 parameterizes the set of the extensions g X of g X . The natural action of H0 on H1 determines the equivalence relation on H1 ,

∼ g X if and only if π1 ◦ g X = π1 ◦ g X , because H0 and it is easy to see that g X u parameterizes the deformations of the morphism F −→ F . Thus the set of the extensions of the morphism T × X −→ Yquo (W• ) over T × X is a torsor over the group H2 . By the universal property of M (V, H) and Yquo (W• ), the set of the extensions of g over T is also a torsor over H2 . Namely the condition (A2) is satisfied.

2.4 Obstruction Theory

Usually, we consider deformations of quotients of V . Let H be a polynomial, and let Quot(V, H) denote a quot scheme which parameterizes the quotient sheaves of V whose Hilbert polynomials are H. We have the universal quotient q u : p∗Quot(V,H) (V ) −→ Qu on Quot(V, H) × X. We denote the kernel of q u by F u , and the inclusion F u −→ p∗Quot(V,H) (V ) is denoted by f u . Let us consider the case dim X = 1. Let HV denote the Hilbert polynomial of V . Then, Quot(V, H) parameterizes the locally free subsheaves of V whose Hilbert polynomials are HV −H. Therefore, we have obtained an obstruction theory ob(F u , f u ) : Ob(F u , f u ) −→ LQuot(V,H) . Proposition 2.4.15 In the case dim(X) = 1, the obstruction theory ob(f u ) is perfect. The scheme Quot(V, H) is smooth, if H is a constant, i.e., H is a Hilbert polynomial of sheaves of finite length. Proof To show the perfectness of Ob(F u , f u ), we have only to show that RpX ∗ g(F u , f u )∨ is perfect of amplitude contained in [0, 1]. Let q be any point of Quot(V, H). We u put F := F|{q}×X and Q := V /F . The complex g(F u , f u )∨ |{q}×X is Cone(γ)[−1] for the natural morphism γ : Hom(F, F ) −→ Hom(F, V ), which is quasi= 0 for any point isomorphic to Hom(F, Q). Hence, H i X, g(F u , f u )∨ |{q}×X q ∈ Quot(V, H) unless i = 0, 1. Then, the desired perfectness easily follows. Let us show the second claim. If H is a constant, we have H 1 X, g(F u , f u )∨ |{q}×X = 0 for any q ∈ Quot(V, H). Let T be any affine scheme over k, and let g : T −→ Quot(V, H) be a morphism. Then, Ext1 g ∗ Ob(F u , f u ), J = 0 for any coherent OT -module J, and hence any obstruction classes vanish. Thus we obtain the smoothness. Remark 2.4.16 Let us consider the case dim X = 2. Let Qtf (V, H) denote the open subset of Q(F, H) corresponding to torsion-free quotient sheaves. It gives an u are open subset of a moduli stack of locally free subsheaves of V . Then, F|{q}×X tf locally free for any q ∈ Q (V, H). Therefore, we obtain an obstruction theory ob(F u , f u ) : Ob(F u , f u ) −→ LQtf (V,H)/k from Proposition 2.4.14.

2.4.4 Filtrations of a Vector Bundle on a Curve Let S be a scheme over k, and let D be a smooth projective curve over S provided with an ample line bundle O(1). The projection D −→ S is denoted by p. Let V and F be locally free sheaves on D provided with an injective morphism f : F −→ V . Assume that the quotient is S-flat.

2 Preliminaries

Let Hi be polynomials. Let g : T −→ S be an S-scheme. We have the induced curve DT := D ×S T over T . The induced morphism DT −→ D is denoted by g. We obtain a morphism g∗ F −→ g∗ V on DT . Let F(T, g) denote the set of the filtrations V ∗ of g∗ V on DT , g∗ V = V (1) ⊃ V (2) ⊃ · · · ⊃ V (l) ⊃ V (l+1) = g∗ F, with the following property: • The quotients Coki := V (1) /V (i+1) are T -flat. • The Hilbert polynomials of Coki| Dt are Hi for any i = 1, . . . , l and t ∈ T . The functor F is representable by an S-scheme, which can be shown by the standard technique using quot schemes. Let gM (H∗ ) : M (H∗ ) −→ S denote a moduli S-scheme. We have the universal filtration on M (H∗ ) ×S D: ∗ (1) ∗ gM ⊃ V (2) ⊃ · · · ⊃ V (l) ⊃ V (l+1) = gM (H∗ ) V = V (H∗ ) F.

To construct an obstruction theory of M (H∗ ), we introduce some stacks. Take vector spaces Wi (i = 2, . . . , l) over k such that rank Wi = rank V (i) =: ri . We put W (i) := Wi ⊗ OD (i = 2, . . . , l). We set W (1) := V and W (l+1) := F . .l We define Y0 := N (W (l+1) , W (1) ) and R1 := i=1 N (W (i+1) , W (i) ). We put .l G(W∗ ) := i=2 GL(Wi ). We have the natural right G(W∗ )-action on R1 . Let Y1 denote the quotient stack of R1 by the G(W∗ )-action. By composition of the maps, we obtain a morphism φ : R1 −→ Y0 , which induces Y1 −→ Y0 . We put Y2 := D. Then, the morphism F −→ V induces a morphism Y2 −→ Y0 . We put Y := Y1 ×Y0 Y2 . Let V ∗ denote a filtered vector bundle on DT as above. We obtain morphisms Φi (V ∗ ) : DT −→ Yi . We have the naturally defined morphism: Φi (V ∗ )∗ LYi /D G(V ∗ ) : Φ0 (V ∗ )∗ LY0 /D −→ i=1,2

We use the notation in Subsection 2.1.6. We put g(V ∗ ) := C2 (V ∗ , V ∗ )∨ [−1]. By the argument in Subsection 2.3.2, the cone of G(V ∗ ) is represented by the complex g(V ∗ ). Thus, wehave the naturally defined morphism g(V ∗ ) −→ LDT /D . We put Ob(V ∗ ) := Rp∗ g(V ∗ ) ⊗ ωDT /T . Then, we obtain a morphism ob(V ∗ ) : Ob(V ∗ ) −→ LT /S . Applying the construction to the universal filtered bundle V ∗ on M (H∗ ) ×S D, we obtain ob(V ∗ ) : Ob(V ∗ ) −→ LM (H∗ )/S . Lemma 2.4.17 The morphism ob(V ∗ ) gives an obstruction theory of M (H∗ ). Proof In the following, we will shrink S without mention. Take locally free sheaves J (i) (i = 2, . . . , l) on D such that (i) there exist surjections J (i) −→ V (i) ,

For any S-scheme g : T −→ S, let F(T ∗ the set of (V , ϕ∗ ) on DT as follows: • V ∗ denotes a filtration of g∗ V as above. • ϕ∗ denotes a tuple of surjections of g∗ J (i) onto V (i) . (H∗ ). We have The functor F is representable by a scheme which is denoted by M ∗ (i) (i) on M (H J , V the locally free sheaves Ni := Hom gM ∗ ) ×S D. Let p : (H∗ ) M (H∗ )×S D −→ M (H∗ ) denote the projection. Then, M (H∗ ) is isomorphic to an (H∗ ) ×S D, we have the universal open subset of the vector bundle p∗ Ni . On M filtration V ∗ with the tuple of surjective morphisms ϕu∗ . Let Gr(J (i) , ri ) be the Grassmannian bundles of ri -dimensional quotient spaces associated to the vector bundles J (i) .

G1 × G2 -equivariant embedding into a projective space PN . The closure of U in PN is denoted by U . The G1 × G2 -equivariant polarization is denoted by O(1). We assume that U is contained in the open subset of the stable points of U with respect to the polarization O(1) and the G2 -action. We assume that M = U/G2 is a separated Deligne-Mumford stack. The projection U −→ M is denoted by π. Lemma 2.5.1 Let F be a G1 -equivariant coherent sheaf on M. Then, there exists a G1 -equivariant locally free sheaf V on M with a G1 -equivariant surjection φ : V −→ F. Proof There exists a coherent sheaf G on U such that G|U = π ∗ F. There exists a large number N such that G(N ) is globally generating. Then, π ∗ F(N ) is also globally generating. We may take a G1 × G2 -equivariant subspace W of H 0 U, π ∗ F(N ) such that W ⊗ O(−N ) −→ π ∗ F is surjective. We have only to take descent of W ⊗ O(−N ) and the morphism. Corollary 2.5.2 Let F• be a bounded G1 -equivariant complex of coherent sheaves on M. Assume that there exist integers M1 and M2 such that the following holds: • For any point of M, there exists a neighbourhood U such that F•|U is isomorphic to a coherent locally free complex G•U in D(U) where GiU = 0 unless M1 ≤ i ≤ M2 . Then, there exists a global G1 -equivariant coherent locally free complex G• F in D(M), where Gi = 0 unless M1 ≤ i ≤ M2 .

2.5.2 Equivariant Representative We recall that the morphism of M to the coarse scheme is finite (Proposition 2.2.2). Lemma 2.5.3 Let Ci • (i = 1, 2) be G1 -equivariant bounded complexes of coherent sheaves on M. We assume that C1 • is perfect. Let ϕ be an element of the G1 -invariant part of Ext0 (C1 • , C2 • ). Then, we can take a G1 -equivariant perfect 1 • −→ C2 , such that (i) C 1 • 1 • with a G1 -equivariant morphism ψ : C complex C is G1 -equivariantly quasi-isomorphic to C1 • , (ii) ψ represents ϕ. Proof We give only an indication. We may assume that C2,i = 0 unless |i| < N . We take a sufficiently large number N1 , and we replace C1 • with a G1 -equivariant 1,i , C2,j = 0 for any 1 • with the property Extk C quasi-isomorphic complex C 0 1,• , C2,• ) is k > 0 and i > −N1 , and for any j. Then, Ext (C1,• , C2,• ) Ext0 (C isomorphic to the first cohomology of the following: 1,i , C2,j ) −→ 1,i , C2,j ) −→ 1,i , C2,j ) Ext0 (C Ext0 (C Ext0 (C −i+j=−1

as = as−1 = · · · = ah2 +1 > ah2 .

We remark the following: • In the case ai0 > 0, we have h1 < i0 . • In the case ai0 = 0, we have h1 < i0 < h2 . • In the case ai0 < 0, we have i0 < h2 . Let us argue the case ai0 > 0.

It is easy to see that the numbers a i satisfy the condition (2.14), and that we have d(v ) ≤ d(v) − 1. By the hypothesis of the induction, we have the expression for v

as in (2.15) with the non-negative coefficients. Then, we obtain the desired expression for v. The cases ai0 = 0 or ai0 < 0 can be argued similarly.

2.7 Twist of Line Bundles This subsection is a preparation for Section 4.6.

2.7.1 Construction Let Y be an algebraic stack over a field k. Let Gm denote the one dimensional algebraic torus Spec k[t, t−1 ]. Let I denote the trivial line bundle on Y . A point of I is denoted by (y, u) where y ∈ Y and u ∈ I|y . For each integer n, T (n) denote the line bundle I with the Gm -action by t · (y, u) := (y, tn ·u). Let L be any line bundle on Y . Let L∗ denote the complement of the image of the 0-section, i.e., L∗ := L − Y . Let π : L∗ −→ Y denote the naturally defined projection. A point of L∗ is also denoted by (y, v), where y ∈ Y and v ∈ π −1 (y). Let us fix an integer r. We consider the Gm -action on L∗ given by t · (y, v) := (y, tr v). We have the naturally defined Gm -action on π ∗ T (n). It induces a line bundle In on the algebraic stack L∗ /Gm . Let ϕ : L∗ /Gm −→ Y denote the naturally induced morphism. Lemma 2.7.1 We have canonical isomorphisms In ⊗ Im In+m and I−n In−1 and I0 OL∗ /Gm . We also have a canonical isomorphism I−r ϕ∗ L. Proof The first claim is obvious. Let us show the second claim. Let us denote a point of π ∗ L by (y, v, u ), where y ∈ Y , v ∈ π −1 (y) and u ∈ L|y . The trivial Gm on L induces the Gm -action on π ∗ L over L∗ , which is given by t·(y, v, u ) = action r

y, t · v, u . On the other hand, let us denote a point of π ∗ T (−r) by (y, v, u)where y ∈ Y, v ∈ π −1 (y) and u ∈ T (−r)|y . The action is denoted by t·(y, v, u) = y, tr v, t−r u . We have the naturally defined isomorphism π ∗ T (−r) −→ π ∗ L given by (y, v, u) −→ (y, v, u · v), which is Gm -equivariant. Therefore, we obtain the iso morphism I−r ϕ∗ L.

2.7.2 Weight of the Induced Action (i)

We use the notation in the previous subsection. Let Gm (i = 1, 2) denote one(1) (2) dimensional tori Spec k[ti , t−1 i ]. Let us consider the action of Gm × Gm on L given by (t1 , t2 ) · (y, v) := y, t1 ·t2 ·v . (1) (2) Let T (n1 , n2 ) denote the trivial line bundle I with the Gm × Gm -action given n1 n2 (1) (2) by (t1 , t2 ) · (y, u) = y, t1 · t2 · u . Then, we have the Gm × Gm -line bundle (2) π ∗ T (n1 , n2 ) on L∗ . We obtain the line bundle In2 on L∗ /Gm , and we have the (1) induced Gm -action on In2 .

62

2 Preliminaries (1)

Lemma 2.7.2 The weight of the Gm -action on In2 is n1 − n2 . (i) m (1) (2) Proof We put G := Spec k[si ]. Let us consider the morphism G m × Gm −→ (1) (2) (1) (2) Gm × Gm given by (s1 , s2 ) −→ s1 , s−1 1 · s2 . The induced Gm × Gm -action ∗ r on L and T (n1 , n2 ) is given by (s1 , s2 ) · (y, v) = y, s2 · v and (s1 , s2 ) · (y, u) = n1 −n2 n2 (1) · s2 · u . Therefore, the weight of the Gm -action on In2 is given by y, s1 n1 − n2 .

Chapter 3

Parabolic L-Bradlow Pairs

In this chapter, we recall some basic definitions. All of them are more or less standard. Our purpose is to fix the meanings in this monograph. In the following of this chapter, X will denote a smooth connected projective variety over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. Let PicX denote the Picard variety of X. We fix a base point x0 ∈ X, and hence we have a Poincar´e bundle PoinX on PicX ×X. In Section 3.1, we review the basic notion. In Subsections 3.1.1–3.1.3, we recall the definition of some structure on torsion-free sheaves such as orientation, parabolic structure, L-section, and reduced L-section. In Subsection 3.1.4, we prepare the symbols to describe some moduli stacks. In Subsection 3.1.5, we introduce relative tautological line bundles of moduli stacks of oriented reduced LBradlow pairs. We also see the relation among moduli stacks of oriented reduced L-Bradlow pairs and unoriented unreduced L-Bradlow pairs. In Section 3.2, we recall the definition of Hilbert polynomials for torsion-free sheaves with some additional structures. They lead the naturally defined semistability conditions, which are discussed in Section 3.3. We recall the concepts of HarderNarasimhan filtration and partial Jordan-H¨older filtration in Subsection 3.3.2. Then, we introduce the notion of (δ, )-semistability condition in Subsection 3.3.3, which is useful to control the transitions of moduli stacks of δ-semistable L-Bradlow pairs for variation of δ. In Section 3.4, we review the boundedness of some families. In Subsection 3.4.1, we recall foundational theorems. Then, in Subsection 3.4.2, we recall the boundedness of δ-semistable L-Bradlow pairs when δ is varied. The important observation is due to M. Thaddeus. In Subsection 3.4.3, we show the boundedness of Yokogawa family, which will be used to show the properness of some morphisms in Chapter 4. In Section 3.5, we recall 1-stability and 2-stability conditions. In Section 3.6, we recall some moduli schemes of quotient sheaves with some additional structures.

3.1 Sheaves with Some Structure and their Moduli Stacks 3.1.1 Orientation Let E be a U -coherent sheaf on U × X. We have the morphism detE : U −→ PicX induced by the determinant line bundle det(E) of E, which satisfies the condition det(E)|{u}×X PoinX | {detE (u)}×X . The morphism will be simply denoted by det, if there are no risk of confusion. The line bundles det∗E PoinX and det(E) are not necessarily isomorphic. Example 3.1. Assume k = C. Let c be an element of the second cohomology group H 2 (X, Z) of (1, 1)-type, and let PicX (c) denote the Picard variety of line bundles on X whose first Chern classes are c. Assume H i (X, L) = 0 (i > 0) for any line bundle onPicX (c). We bundle L ∈ PicX (c). Then, pX∗ (PoinX ) gives the vector obtain the associated projective space bundle Pc = P pX∗ (PoinX )∨ on PicX (c). Let π denote the natural projection Pc × X −→ PicX ×X. We have the line bundle L(a) = π ∗ PoinX ⊗ p∗X OPc (a) for each a ∈ Z. Here OPc (1) denotes the tautological bundle of the projective space Pc −→ PicX (c), and OPc (a) = bundle OPc (1)⊗ a . The determinant bundle det L(a) is obviously L(a) itself. On the other hand, detL(a) is given by the projection π. Thus, L(a) and det∗L(a) PoinX are not isomorphic, if a = 0. We recall the notion of orientation. (For example [110].) Definition 3.1.1 (Orientation) An orientation of a U -coherent sheaf E on U × X is defined to be an isomorphism ρ : det(E) −→ det∗E PoinX on U . Such a tuple (E, ρ) is called an oriented U -coherent sheaf. An isomorphism of two oriented sheaves (E, ρ) and (E , ρ ) is defined to be an isomorphism χ : E −→ E satisfying ρ = χ∗ (ρ) := ρ ◦ χ. ∗ The restrictions detE PoinX |{u}×X and det(E)|{u}×X are isomorphic for any point u ∈ U by definition of detE , so that the push-forward pX∗ Hom det(E), det ∗E PoinX

(3.1)

is a line bundle on U . Definition 3.1.2 (Orientation bundle) The line bundle (3.1) is called the orientation bundle of E. It is denoted by Or(E). If E is oriented, then the orientation bundle Or(E) is naturally isomorphic to the trivial line bundle OU , i.e., an orientation is equivalent to a trivialization of Or(E). Example 3.2. Let L(a) be as in Example 3.1. The orientation bundle Or(L(a), Pc ) induced by L(a) is isomorphic to

Then, we have a natural isomorphism Or(E1 ⊕ E2 ) Or(E1 ) ⊗ Or(E2 ). Proof The natural isomorphism det(E1 ⊕ E2 ) det(E1 ) ⊗ det(E2 ) is given, and hence det∗E1 PoinX ⊗ det∗E2 PoinX det∗E1 ⊕E2 PoinX . It induces the following isomorphism: Hom det(E1 ⊕ E2 ), det ∗E1 ⊕E2 PoinX Hom det(E1 ), det ∗E1 PoinX ⊗ Hom det(E2 ), det ∗E2 PoinX . Therefore, we obtain the isomorphism Or(E1 ) ⊗ Or(E2 ) −→ Or(E1 ⊕ E2 ).

3.1.2 Parabolic Structure See [87] and [134] for details on the notion of parabolic sheaf. Our terminology slightly differs from theirs. We remark that it is also different from that in the author’s other papers ([93], for example.) Let D be a Cartier divisor of X. A U -parabolic sheaf, or simply parabolic sheaf, on U × (X, D) is defined to be a tuple E, F∗ (E), α∗ : • E is a U -coherent sheaf on U × X. • F∗ (E) denotes a filtration of E: E = F1 (E) ⊃ F2 (E) ⊃ · · · ⊃ Fl (E) ⊃ Fl+1 (E) = E(−D). Here E(−D) denotes E ⊗ p∗U O(−D). We assume that Coki (E) := E/Fi+1 (E) are flat on U . • α∗ = (α1 , . . . , αl ) is a tuple of numbers 0 < α1 < α2 < · · · < αl ≤ 1. It is called a system of weights, or simply a weight. Such a tuple(E, F∗ , α∗ ) will be often denoted just by E∗ . The underlying filtration F∗ is called a quasi-parabolic structure. Isomorphisms of parabolic sheaves are defined naturally. The number l is called the depth. For any parabolic sheaf E∗ , we put Gri (E) := Fi (E)/Fi+1 (E), which are U -coherent sheaves on U × D. Remark 3.1.4 We will often use the word “parabolic” even if a system of weights is not given. (Subobject and quotient object) Let E∗ be a parabolic torsion-free sheaf defined over U × (X, D). For any subsheaf E ⊂ E and any quotient sheaf E −→ E

, we have the induced parabolic structures on E and E

. Namely, we put Fi (E ) := Fi (E) ∩ E , and Fi (E

) :=

Im(Fi (E) −→ E

). The parabolic structures are called the induced parabolic structures. We always consider the induced parabolic structures on subsheaves and quotient sheaves. (Condition Om ) Let (E, F∗ ) be a U -quasi-parabolic sheaf on U ×(X, D). Let m be a positive integer. We say that (E, F∗ ) satisfies the condition Om , if the following holds: • Fi (E)(m)|{u}×X and Coki (E)(m)|{u}×X are generated by its global sections, for all i = 1, . . . , l + 1 and for all u ∈ U . • The higher cohomology groups of Fi (E)(m)|{u}×X and Coki (E)(m)|{u}×X vanish, for all i = 1, . . . , l + 1 and for all u ∈ U . When we are given a U -quasi-parabolic sheaf (E, F∗ ) on U × (X, D), the open subset U is determined by the condition Om . (Twist for quasi-parabolic sheaves) Let m be an integer, and let E be a U -coherent sheaf defined over U × X. Recall that E(m) denotes the coherent sheaf E ⊗ p∗U OX (m). If E has a quasi-parabolic E(m) of induced parabolic structure F structure F∗ (E), we have the naturally ∗ E(m). The tuple E(m), F∗ (E(m)) is denoted by E∗ (m).

3.1.3 L-Bradlow Pairs and Reduced L-Bradlow Pairs Let L be a line bundle over X. Definition 3.1.5 (L-section) Let E be a U -coherent sheaf on U × X. A morphism φ : p∗U L −→ E is called an L-section. An OX -section is an ordinary section. Definition 3.1.6 Let (E, φ) be a pair of a U -coherent sheaf on X and an L-section. We say that φ is non-trivial everywhere, if φ|{u}×X = 0 for every point u ∈ U . Definition 3.1.7 (L-Bradlow pair) A parabolic L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ) on U × (X, D) is a pair of a U -torsion-free parabolic sheaf E∗ and an L-section φ : p∗U L −→ E. An isomorphism between two such pairs (E∗ , φ) and (E∗ , φ ) is defined to be an isomorphism χ : E∗ −→ E∗ satisfying φ = χ∗ (φ) := χ ◦ φ. (Oriented L-Bradlow pair) An oriented parabolic L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ, ρ) on U × (X, D) is a pair of a parabolic L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ) and an orientation of E. An isomorphism of two such pairs is defined naturally. Remark 3.1.8 We are mainly interested in parabolic L-Bradlow pairs (E∗ , φ) such that φ is non-trivial everywhere. We will sometimes assume it implicitly. Definition 3.1.9 Let (E∗ , φ) and (E∗ , φ ) be parabolic L-Bradlow pairs on X. We say that (E∗ , φ ) is a subobject of (E∗ , φ) if the following conditions hold:

3.1 Sheaves with Some Structure and their Moduli Stacks

• E is a subsheaf of E, and the parabolic structure is the induced one. • If the image of φ is contained in E, we have φ = φ. Otherwise, φ = 0.

We also introduce the notion of reduced L-section. Definition 3.1.10 (Reduced L-section) Let L be a line bundle over X. Let E be a U -coherent sheaf on U × X. A reduced L-section of E is defined to be a pair (M, [φ]) of a line bundle M on U and a morphism [φ] : p∗X (M ) ⊗ p∗U (L) −→ E. A reduced L-section is often denoted just by [φ] instead of (M, [φ]), if there are no risk of confusion. Definition 3.1.11 Let (E, [φ]) be a pair of a U -coherent sheaf on U × X and a reduced L-section. We say that [φ] is non-trivial everywhere, if [φ]|{u}×X = 0 for each u ∈ U . Let (M, [φ]) be a reduced L-section of E which is non-trivial everywhere. Then, (M, [φ]) induces a morphism [φ] : M −→ pX∗ Hom(L, E). Assuming = 0 (i > 0) for each u ∈ U , we obtain a section U −→ Hi X, Hom(L, E)|{u}×X P pX ∗ (Hom(L, E))∨ . Conversely, such a section U −→ P pX ∗ (Hom(L, E))∨ induces a reduced L-section which is non-trivial everywhere. Definition 3.1.12 (Parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair) • A parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , M, [φ]) on U × (X, D) is defined to be a pair of a torsion-free parabolic sheaf E∗ on U × (X, D) and a reduced L-section (M, [φ]) which is non-trivial everywhere. It is often denoted by (E∗ , [φ]) instead of (E∗ , M, [φ]). An isomorphism of two reduced L-Bradlow pairs (Ei ∗ , Mi , [φi ]) (i = 1, 2) is defined to be a pair (χ, η) of an isomorphism χ : E1 ∗ −→ E2 ∗ and η : M1 M2 such that the following diagram is commutative: φ1

p∗X M1 ⊗ p∗U L −−−−→ E1 ⏐ ⏐ ⏐ ⏐ χ! η⊗idL ! φ2

p∗X M2 ⊗ p∗U L −−−−→ E2 • An oriented parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair is defined to be a tuple of a parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , [φ]) with an orientation ρ of E. An isomorphism between two oriented reduced L-Bradlow pair is naturally defined. Remark 3.1.13 In the definition, we assume that [φ] is non-trivial everywhere, contrast to the case of non-reduced L-Bradlow pair. Remark 3.1.14 If U = Spec(k), a parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair is just a parabolic L-Bradlow pair whose L-section is non-trivial, up to isomorphisms.

Remark 3.1.15 We will often use the words “L-Bradlow pair” and “reduced L-Bradlow pair” instead of “parabolic L-Bradlow pair” and “parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair”, if there are no risk of confusion. We will also use the words “quasi-parabolic L-Bradlow pair” and “quasiparabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair”, if a system of weights is not given. We will use the following auxiliary notion. Definition 3.1.16 Let L = (L1 , L2 ) be a tuple of line bundles on X. • A parabolic L-Bradlow pair on U × (X, D) is defined to be a tuple (E∗ , φ) of a U -parabolic torsion-free sheaf E∗ on U × (X, D) and a pair φ = (φ1 , φ2 ) of Li -sections φi (i = 1, 2). • An oriented parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair on U × (X, D) is defined to be a tuple (E∗ , [φ], ρ) of a U -parabolic torsion-free sheaf E∗ on U × (X, D), a pair [φ] of reduced Li -sections [φi ] which are non-trivial everywhere, and an orientation ρ. Isomorphisms are defined naturally.

3.1.4 Type and Moduli Stacks Let H ∗ denote e´ tale cohomology theory with Q -coefficient for some prime , or singular cohomology theory with Q-coefficient if the ground field k is the com dim X plex number field. We put H ev (X) := i=0 H 2i (X). If D is a smooth divisor, ∞ let T ype denote the set of (y, y1 , y2 , . . . . . .) ∈ H ev (X) ⊕ i=1 H ev (Y ) satis fying the condition i≥1 yi = y|D . In the general case, T ype denotes the set of ∞ (y, y1 , y2 , . . . . . .) ∈ H ev (X) ⊕ i=1 H ev (X) satisfying yi = y · 1 − ch O(−D) . i≥1

In the following, y · 1 − ch O(−D) is denoted by y|D for simplicity of the notation, even if D is not necessarily smooth. For any quasi-parabolic sheaf (E, F∗ ) on X of depth l, we obtain the following element of T ype: type E, F∗ := ch(E), ch Gr1 (E) , . . . , ch Grl−1 (E) , ch Grl (E) , 0, . . . Let T ype denote the subset of T ype which consists of type E, F∗ for some quasiparabolic sheaves (E, F∗ ). Let y = (y, y1 , y2 , . . . . . .) be any element of T ype. The number depth(y) := max{i | yi = 0} is called the depth of y. The element y is called the H ev (X)component of y, and (y1 , y2 , . . . , ) is called the parabolic part of y. The H 0 (X)component of y is called the rank of y, and it is denoted by rank(y) or rank y.

3.1 Sheaves with Some Structure and their Moduli Stacks

69

The H 2i (X)-components of y are called the i-th Chern character of y. We put χ(y) := Td(X) · y. We set T yper := y ∈ T ype rank(y) = r . We denote by T ype◦ the set of types whose parabolic components are trivial, i.e., y1 = y|D and yi = 0 for i > 1. We often identify y and y in that case, and we regard T ype◦ as a subset of H ∗ (X). We put T ype◦r := T ype◦ ∩ T yper . We have the sum y (1) + y (2) of two elements y (i) ∈ T ype (i = 1, 2) by taking component-wise summation. For any quasi-parabolic sheaf (E, F∗ ) on X, we obtain the element type E, F∗ of T ype. In general, let (E, F∗ ) be a U-quasi-parabolic sheaf on U × X. If we have an element y ∈ T ype such that type (E, F∗| )|{u}×X = y for any closed point u ∈ U , then (E, F∗ ) is called of type y. If U is connected, such an element always exists. Definition 3.1.17 The type of an (oriented) parabolic L-Bradlow pairs are defined to be the type of the underlying quasi-parabolic sheaves. We introduce the following notation. Notation 3.1.18 In each line, the left hand side denotes a moduli stack of objects in the right hand side: M(y): Quasi-parabolic sheaves of type y. M(

y ): Oriented quasi-parabolic sheaves of type y. M y, L : Quasi-parabolic L-Bradlow pairs of type y whose L-sections are nontrivial everywhere.

, [L]), and M(m, y

, [L]). M(m, y When the parabolic part of y is trivial, we often use the symbols M(y), M(

y ), M(m, y), M(m, y ), etc..

3.1.5 Tautological Line Bundle and Relations Among Some Moduli Stacks Let y ∈ T ype, and let L be a line bundle on X. Let E u (L), E u (L) and E u [L] denote the universal sheaves over M(

y , L) × X, M(y, L) × X and M(

y , [L]) × X respectively. The universal L-sections of E u (L) and E u (L) are denoted by φ u and φu , respectively. The universal reduced L-section of E u [L] is denoted by [φ u ].

We have the Gm -action ρ1 on M(

y , L) given by ρ1 (t) · (E, F∗ , φ, ρ) := E, F∗ , t·φ, ρ . It is easy to observe that the quotient stack is isomorphic to M(

y , [L]). Therefore, we can regard M(

y , L) as a Gm -torsor over M(

y , [L]). The associated line bundle is denoted by Orel (−1). We put Orel (1) := Orel (−1)∨ , and we obtain Orel (n) in the obvious manner. Definition 3.1.19 The line bundle Orel (1) is called the relative tautological line bundle of M(

y , [L]). It is also called the tautological line bundle. We can obtain the same line bundles with the method explained in Subsection 2.7.1. Namely, let T (n) denote the trivial line bundle on M(

y , [L]) provided with y , L) −→ M(

y , [L]) denote the natural the Gm -action of the weight n. Let π1 : M(

projection. Then, we have the Gm -line bundle π1∗ T (n). By taking descent, we obtain a line bundle In . We have the natural isomorphism In Orel (n). We remark that Orel (−1) appears in the domain of the universal reduced Lsection [φ u ]. Namely, [φ u ] is the morphism: p∗M( y,[L]) L ⊗ p∗X Orel (−1) −→ E u [L]. To see that, we have only to observe that ∗ ∗ E u [L] π ∗ [φ u ] : p∗M( y,L) L ⊗ π1,X T (−1) −→ π1,X

is equivariant with respect to ρ1 , and they give the universal objects over M(

ρ2 (t) · (E, F∗ , φ, ρ) := (E, F∗ , φ, t·ρ). It is easy to observe that the quotient stack is isomorphic to M(y, L). Thus, we can regard M(

The obvious multiplication of E gives the isomorphism E, t−1 ·φ, tr ρ (E, φ, ρ) To see it, note the following. Let f : E1 −→ E2 be an isomorphism. Then, the orientation ρ of E2 induces the following orientation of E1 : det(f )

det(E1 ) −−−−→ det(E2 ) −−−−→ det∗ Poin. ρ

The L-morphism φ of E2 induces the following L-morphism of E1 : f −1

L −−−−→ E2 −−−−→ E1 . Therefore, we have ρ1 (t) = ρ2 (tr ). Hence we have the naturally defined morphism κ : M(

y , [L]) −→ M(y, L), which is e´ tale and finite of degree r−1 . However, the morphism κ does not preserve the universal object. We have the relation κ∗X E u (L) E u [L] ⊗ Orel (1), and hence κ∗ Or E u (L) Orel (r).

3.2 Hilbert Polynomials 3.2.1 Hilbert Polynomials of Coherent Sheaves Let OX (1) be an ample line bundle on a projective variety X. Let E be a coherent sheaf on X. In this paper, the non-reduced Hilbert polynomial of E is denoted by such that HE (m) is equal HE , i.e., HE is the unique polynomialof Q-coefficients to the Euler number (−1)i dim H i X, E(m) . In the case rank(E) > 0, the reduced Hilbert polynomial of E is denoted by PE , i.e., PE := HE / rank(E). We also use the symbol h0 (E) to denote dim H 0 (X, E).

3.2.2 Hilbert Polynomials of Parabolic Sheaves We recall the notions of parabolic Hilbert polynomials and parabolic degree. They were introduced by Maruyama and Yokogawa in [87] to which we refer for more details and precise. Let E∗ := (E, F∗ , α∗ ) be a parabolic sheaves of depth l. We put i := αi+1 − αi (i = 1, . . . , l). Recall that the non-reduced parabolic Hilbert polynomial HE∗ is defined to be HE∗ (t) := HE(−D) (t) +

Lemma 3.2.1 We have the inequality HE∗ (t) ≤ HE (t) and PE∗ (t) ≤ PE (t) for any sufficiently large t.

72

The parabolic degree is defined to be par-deg(E∗ ) = deg(E)+ l (dim X − 1)! · the coefficient of tdim X−1 in i=1 αi · HGri (t)

(3.3)

Note that we have the inequality deg(E) ≤ par-deg(E∗ ). The parabolic slope μ(E∗ ) is defined to be par-deg(E∗ )/ rank(E). Then, we have the inequality μ(E) ≤ μ(E∗ ) ≤ μ(E) + deg(D) for the usual slope μ(E) of a torsion-free sheaf E. We also put h0 (E∗ ) := α1 h0 E(−D) + i h0 Fi+1 (E) .

3.2.3 Hilbert Polynomial for Parabolic L-Bradlow Pairs We recall Hilbert polynomials for Bradlow pairs, following [119]. Notation 3.2.2 Let P br denote the set of polynomials δ of R-coefficients such that (i) deg(δ) ≤ dim X − 1, (ii) δ(t) > 0 for any sufficiently large t. For any δ ∈ P br , the coefficient of td−1 in δ is denoted by δtop , which may be 0. The total order ≤ on the set P br is defined as follows: Let δ and δ be elements of P br . Then, δ ≤ δ if and only if δ(t) ≤ δ (t) for any sufficiently large t. Let (E∗ , φ) be a parabolic L-Bradlow pair on (X, D). For any δ ∈ P br , the δ of (E∗ , φ) is defined as follows: non-reduced δ-Hilbert polynomial H(E ∗ ,φ) δ H(E ∗ ,φ)

:= HE∗ + (E∗ , φ) · δ,

(E∗ , φ) :=

μδ (E∗ , φ) := μ(E∗ ) + (dim X − 1)! · (φ) · δtop / rank(E). Let L = (L1 , L2 ) be a pair of line bundles on X. We take δ := (δ1 , δ2 ) ∈ br 2 P . Let (E∗ , φ) on (X, D) be a parabolic L-Bradlow pair. The δ-Hilbert polyδ := H + nomial is defined by H(E E ∗ i=1,2 (E∗ , φi ) · δi , where (E∗ , φi ) are ∗ ,φ) δ δ given as in (3.4). We also put P(E = H (E∗ ,φ) / rank E. ∗ ,φ)

3.2.4 Hilbert Polynomials Associated to a Type Let z be any element of i≥1 H i (X). Because z k = 0 for a large integer k, we ∞ have the polynomial exp(t·z) = k=0 (k!)−1 (t · z)k . In the case c = c1 OX (1) ,

it is denoted by ch OX (t) . When we substitute t = m for some integer m, it is the same as the ordinary meaning. Let y = (y, y1 , y2 , . . . , ) be an element of T ype. We put Hy (t) := Td(X) · ch OX (t) · y, X

3.3 Semistability 3.3.1 Semistability Conditions and the Associated Moduli Stacks Let (E∗ , φ) be a parabolic L-Bradlow pair on (X, D), and let δ ∈ P br . Recall that (E∗ , φ) is called δ-semistable, if the following inequality holds for each sub-object (E∗ , φ ) of (E∗ , φ): δ δ P(E (t) ≤ P(E ,φ) (t) ∗ ∗ ,φ )

(t is sufficiently large)

(3.5)

If the strict inequality holds in (3.5) for each non-trivial subobject, (E∗ , φ) is called δ-stable. Since parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pairs on X are just parabolic L-Bradlow pairs whose L-sections are non-trivial, the notion of δ-(semi)stability of parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pairs is also given. The δ-(semi)stability of oriented parabolic (reduced) L-Bradlow pairs on X is defined by the δ-(semi)stability of the underlying parabolic (reduced) L-Bradlow pairs. Remark 3.3.1 Let E be a torsion-free sheaf on X. We can regard it as a parabolic sheaf E∗ canonically. Namely, the quasi-parabolic structure is given by F2 = E(−D) ⊂ F1 = E, and the weight is given by α1 = 1. Then, we have HE∗ = HE , and hence the semistability of (E∗ , φ) is equivalent to the semistability of (E, φ). If the weight is given by α1 = 0, then we have HE∗ = HE(−D) , and hence the semistability of (E∗ , φ) and (E, φ) are not equivalent, as remarked in Remark 1.1.1 in [87]. We also have the δ-μ-semistability in the standard way. Namely, a parabolic LBradlow pair (E∗ , φ) on (X, D) is called δ-μ-semistable, if the inequality μδ (E∗ , φ ) ≤ μδ (E∗ , φ) holds for any sub-objects (E∗ , φ ) ⊂ (E∗ , φ). If the strict inequality holds for any subjects such that 0 < rank E < rank E, (E∗ , φ) is called δ-μ-stable. It is easy to check the following implication: δ-μ-stable =⇒ δ-stable =⇒ δ-semistable =⇒ δ-μ-semistable Similarly, we have the notion of δ-μ-semistability and δ-μ-stability of parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pairs. In the family case, a U -parabolic L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ) on U × X is called δ-(semi)stable, if (E∗ , φ)|{u}×X is δ-(semi)stable for each u ∈ U . We obtain δ(semi)stability conditions in the oriented case and in the reduced case similarly. Remark 3.3.2 As usual, we have only to consider sub-objects (E∗ , φ ) ⊂ (E∗ , φ) such that E are saturated in order to check δ-(semi)stability of (E∗ , φ). Let Li (i = 1, 2) be line bundles on X, and let ι : L1 −→ L2 be a non-trivial morphism. Let (E∗ , φ) be a parabolic L2 -Bradlow pair on (X, D). We obtain the parabolic L1 -Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ ◦ ι). When we consider the semistable condition for parabolic L-Bradlow pairs, the choice of L is not essential in the following sense. Lemma 3.3.3 A pair (E∗ , φ) is δ-semistable, if and only if (E∗ , φ◦ι) is δ-semistable. Proof Let F be a saturated subsheaf of E. The image φ ◦ ι(L1 ) is contained in F if and only if the image φ(L2 ) is contained in F . Hence, the claim is clear. Lemma 3.3.4 Let (Ei ∗ , φi ) (i = 1, 2) be δ-semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pairs δ δ (t) = P(E (t). Let f : (E1 ∗ , φ1 ) −→ (E2 ∗ , φ2 ) be a non-trivial with P(E 1 ∗ ,φ1 ) 2 ∗ ,φ2 )

) and (Cok(f )∗ , φ

). Then, they are also δ-semistable. A similar claim holds for δ-μ-semistability. Proof We put (E3 ∗ , φ3 ) := Im(f )∗ , φ

. From the δ-semistability of (Ei ∗ , φi ) (i = 1, 2), we obtain the following inequality for sufficiently large t: δ δ δ (t) ≤ P(E (t) ≤ P(E (t). P(E 1 ∗ ,φ1 ) 3 ∗ ,φ3 ) 2 ∗ ,φ2 )

3.3.2 Harder-Narasimhan Filtration and Partial Jordan-H¨older Filtration Let (E∗ , φ) be a δ-semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pair. In this monograph, a filtration (E1 ∗ , φ1 ) ⊂ (E2 ∗ , φ2 ) ⊂ · · · ⊂ (Ek ∗ , φk ) = (E∗ , φ) is called a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration with respect to δ-semistability, if each δ δ (Ei ∗ , φi ) is δ-semistable such that P(E = P(E . Each Gri (E) := Ei /Ei−1 i ∗ ,φi ) ∗ ,φ) has the induced parabolic structure and the L-section Gri (φ), and the parabolic δ δ = P(E . L-Bradlow pair Gri ∗ (E), Gri (φ) is δ-semistable with P(Gr i ∗ (E),Gri (φ)) ∗ ,φ) If each Gri ∗ (E), Gri (φ) is δ-stable, the filtration is called a Jordan-H¨older filtration with respect to δ-semistability. It can be shown Jordan that the length of H¨older filtration and the collection of graded objects Gri ∗ (E), Gri (φ) are independent of the choice of Jordan-H¨older filtrations. Similarly, we have the notions of partial Jordan-H¨older filtration and JordanH¨older filtration with respect to δ-μ-semistability. pair. There exists the unique Lemma 3.3.6 Let (E∗ , φ) be a parabolic L-Bradlow increasing filtration F = Fi (E) | i = 1, 2, . . . of E with the following property: F • The induced objects GrF i (E), Gri (φ) are δ-semistable. δ δ (t) hold for any • The inequalities P(Gr F (E),GrF (φ )) (t) > P(GrF (E),GrF (φ i i+1 )) i i i+1 i+1 sufficiently large t. The filtration is called the Harder-Narasimhan filtration with respect to the δsemistability. We also have the unique Harder-Narasimhan filtration with respect to the δ-μsemistability. Proof We give only an outline. We use an induction on rank(E). In the case rank(E) = 1, the claim is trivial. Take a sufficiently negative number C. We know that the family of saturated subsheaves E of E such that deg(E ) ≥ C is bounded. (See Proposition 3.4.1 below.) Therefore, the family of saturated subsheaves E of δ δ

E such that P(E ≥ P(E ,φ) is bounded, where (E∗ , φ ) denotes the subobject of ∗ ∗ ,φ )

(E∗ , φ) associated to E . Hence we obtain the finiteness of the set S of polynomials P with the following property: • P (t) ≥ P(E∗ ,φ) (t) for any sufficiently large t. δ • There exist a saturated subsheaf E of E such that P(E ,φ ) = P . ∗

We say P ≤ Q if P (t) ≤ Q(t) for any sufficiently large t. It gives the total order of S. Let P0 be the maximum. Let T (P0 ) denote the family of saturated subsheaves δ = P0 . Then, (E∗ , φ) is δ-semistable for any E ∈ T (P0 ). E of E such that P(E ∗ ,φ) It is also easy to see that E1 + E2 ∈ T (P0 ) for Ei ∈ T (P0 ). Therefore, we have the maximum E1 in T (P0 ) with respect to inclusion relation.

The second condition in B(δ, ) is trivial. The first condition in B(δ, ) is equivalent to i = 1 for any J-H filtration. Therefore, (q, E∗ , φ, F) is (δ, )-semistable if and only if (E∗ , φ) is δ− -semistable for a parameter δ− < δ such that |δ − δ− | is sufficiently small. Lemma 3.3.9 Let (E∗ , [φ], F) be a reduced L-Bradlow pair with a full flag F of H 0 X, E(m) . We assume that it is (δ, )-semistable. Then, the automorphism group of (E∗ , [φ], F) is Gm .

Proof Let f be an endomorphism of (E∗ , [φ], F). have the generalized eigen We p decomposition (E∗ , [φ], F) = (E1 ∗ , [φ1 ], F (1) )⊕ i=2 (Ei ∗ , F (i) ). But, the (δ, )semistability condition is not satisfied if p ≥ 2. Therefore, f has the unique eigenvalue. Let N be the nilpotent part of f . Let h be the integer such that N h = 0 and N h+1 = 0. Assume h ≥ 1, and we will derive a contradiction. We put E1 := Im N h and E2 := Ker N h . We have the naturally induced parabolic structures and the L-sections φi of Ei . Because N (φ) = 0, we have φ1 = 0. Then, we obtain a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration E1 ∗ ⊂ (E2 ∗ , φ2 ) ⊂ (E∗ , φ) with respect to δ-semistability, according to Lemma 3.3.4. Note that we have the induced filtrations F (1) on H 0 X, E1 (m) and F (3) on H 0 X, E/E2 (m) . The induced isomorphism H 0 X, E/E2 (m) −→ H 0 X, E1 (m) (1)

has to preserve the filtrations F (i) above. However, we have F = 0 and F = 0 thanks to the (δ, )-semistability. We arrive at the contradiction, and hence we have h = 0.

3.4 Some Boundedness 3.4.1 Fundamental Theorems Let OX (1) be a very ample line bundle. Let D denote a Cartier divisor of X. We recall several fundamental theorems, by following D. Huybrechts-M. Lehn ([62]). Proposition 3.4.1 (A. Grothendieck, Lemma 2.5, [57]) Let D be a bounded family of coherent sheaf F on X. Let C be any positive number. Then, we have the boundedness of the family of torsion-free coherent sheaves F

with the following property: • deg(F

) ≤ C. • There exists a member F ∈ D such that F

is a quotient sheaf of F .

For any torsion-free coherent sheaf E on X, we have the Harder-Narasimhan filtration with respect to the standard semistability. We denote the slope of the first (resp. last) term of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration by μmax (E) (resp. μmin (E)). Proposition 3.4.2 (M. Maruyama [85]) Let H be a polynomial, and let C be a constant. We have the boundedness of the family of torsion-free coherent sheaves F on X satisfying μmax (F ) ≤ C and HF = H. We use the notation [x]+ = max{x, 0} for any real number x. Proposition 3.4.3 (C. Simpson [117]) Let r be a positive integer. Then, there is a positive constant c such that the following inequality holds for every μ-semistable sheaf F satisfying rank(F ) < r and μ(F ) < μ:

3.4.2 Boundedness of Semistable L-Bradlow Pairs Let y ∈ T ype, and let α∗ be a system of weights. Let L be a line bundle over X, and let δ (0) ∈ P br . Let SS(y, L, α∗ , δ (0) ) denote the family of parabolic L-Bradlow pairs (E∗ , φ) such that φ = 0 with the following property: • The type of E∗ is y, and the weight of the parabolic structure is given by α∗ . • (E∗ , φ) is δ-μ-semistable for some δ ≤ δ (0) in P br . Lemma 3.4.4 The family SS(y, L, α∗ , δ (0) ) is bounded. Proof Let (E∗ , φ) be a member of SS(y, L, α∗ , δ (0) ). It is δ-μ-semistable for some δ ∈ P br with δ ≤ δ (0) . Let E be the first member of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of E with respect to the standard semistability. Let d := dim X. Then, we have the following inequalities: μmax (E) = μ(E ) ≤ μ(E∗ ) +

(E , φ) · (d − 1)! · δtop rank E

(0)

≤ μ(E∗ ) +

(d − 1)! · δtop (E, φ) · (d − 1)! · δtop ≤ μ(E∗ ) + . rank E rank E

(3.7)

The last term depends only on (y, δ (0) ). Thus, we obtain the boundedness from Proposition 3.4.2. Recall the following important observation due to M. Thaddeus [119]. Proposition 3.4.5 Take an element y ∈ T ype and a line bundle L on X. Let d := dim X. Assume r = rank(y) > 1. Let δ be an element of P br satisfying the following condition: (d − 1)! · δtop >

r μ(y, α∗ ) − deg(L) . r−1

(3.8)

Then, there does not exist a δ-semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ) of type y such that φ = 0. Proof Let (E∗ , φ) be a δ-semistable L-Bradlow pair such that φ = 0. The L-section φ generates the subsheaf E of E with rank E = 1. Thanks to the δ-semistability, we have the following inequality: μ(E∗ ) + (d − 1)! · δtop ≤ μ(E∗ ) +

(d − 1)! · δtop . r

We also have μ(E∗ ) ≥ μ(E ) = deg(E ) ≥ deg(L). Therefore, we obtain the following: ' ( 1 1− · (d − 1)! · δtop ≤ μ(E∗ ) − deg(L). r Thus we are done.

Let L = (L1 , L2 ) be a pair of line bundles on X. Let δ (0) = (δ1 , δ2 ) ∈ (P br )2 . Let SS(y, L, α∗ , δ (0) ) denote the family of parabolic L-Bradlow pairs (E∗ , φ) of type y with weight α∗ such that φi = 0, which is (δ1 , δ2 )-μ-semistable (0) for some δi ≤ δi . By an argument employed in the proof of Lemma 3.4.4, we can show the following: Lemma 3.4.7 The family SS(L, α∗ , δ (0) ) is bounded.

By an argument used in the proof of Proposition 3.4.5, we can show the following lemma. (0)

Lemma 3.4.8 Fix δ1 ∈ P br . There exists δ2 such that the following holds for any (0) δ2 ≥ δ2 : • There does not exist any (δ1 , δ2 )-semistable L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ1 , φ2 ) of type y such that φ2 = 0. In particular, the family δ2 SS L, α∗ , (δ1 , δ2 ) is bounded.

3.4.3 Boundedness of Yokogawa Family Let y ∈ T ype, and let L be a line bundle on X. Let us fix a system of weights α∗ , and we put i := αi+1 − αi . For each positive integer m, let us take an Hy (m)dimensional vector space Vm . Let Pm denote the projectivization of Vm , i.e., Pm := P(Vm∨ ). We also fix an inclusion ι : O(−m) −→ L. as Definition 3.4.9 A Yokogawa datum of type (y, m) is a tuple q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ] follows: • (E∗ , φ) is a parabolic L-Bradlow pair over X, such that type(E∗ ) = y. • q is a generically surjective morphism Vm,X −→ E(m), where Vm,X := Vm ⊗ OX . • W∗ = (W1 , . . . , Wl ) is a tuple of subspaces of Vm such that dim Wi = Hy (m)− Hy,i (m). We assume that H 0 (q)(Wi ) is contained in H 0 X, Fi+1 (E)(m) . = is a point of Pm , and there exists a non-zero scalar c such that H 0 (q)(φ) • [φ] c · ι(φ), where ι(φ) denotes the section of E(m) induced by ι and φ.

Following Yokogawa [134], we consider the family YOK(N, K, y, L, δ) of quasiparabolic L-Bradlow pairs (E, F∗ , φ) of type y such that there exists a lift ∈ YOK(N, K, y, L, δ). q, E, F∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ] It is called the Yokogawa family. Proposition 3.4.11 There exist a small positive number K0 = K0 (y, L, δ) and a large integer N0 = N0 (y, L, δ) such that the following holds: • The family YOK N0 , K0 , y, L, δ is bounded, and it satisfies the condition Om for any m ≥ N0 . ∈ YOK N0 , K0 , y, L, δ , the morphism q is surjec• For any (q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ]) tive. In particular, H 0 (q) : Vm −→ H 0 (X, E(m)) is isomorphic. • All members of YOK(N0 , K0 , y, L, δ) are δ-semistable. Proof We follow the argument of Yokogawa [134]. We begin with the following lemma. Lemma 3.4.12 Let E∗ , φ be a parabolic L-Bradlow pair contained in the family . Let E denote a quotient sheaf YOK(N, K, y, L, δ) with a lift q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ] of E. Then, the following inequality holds for any m ≥ N : Pyδ,α∗ (m) ≤

Proof Let W denote the kernel of the composite of the following morphisms: H 0 (q) Vm −−−−→ H 0 X, E(m) −−−−→ H 0 X, E (m)

Let EW denote the subsheaf of E(m) generated by the image of W via q. By (3.9), we obtain the following inequality: i dim(Wi ∩W )−α1 dim(W )+K ≥ 0. Pyδ,α∗ (m) rank(EW )+(W, φ)δ(m)− i

We have the inequalities dim(Wi ∩ W ) ≥ dim(Wi ) − h0 Fi+1 (E )(m) for i = + (E , [φ ]) = 1, where φ is the 1, . . . , l. We also have the equalities (W, [φ]) induced L-section of E by φ. Since q is generically surjective, we have rank(E ) + rank(EW ) = rank(E). Thus, we obtain the following inequality: 0 ≤ Pyδ,α∗ (m) · rank E − δ(m) − − α1 dim(W ) −

i · dim(Wi ) +

i · dim(Wi ) − α1 dim(V ) + α1 dim(V /W ).

Because dim(Wi ) = H(m) − Hi (m) and dim(V ) = H(m), the right hand side equals α1 dim(V /W ). We have the inequality dim(V /W ) ≤ dim H 0 X, E (m) . Hence, we obtain the following inequality: 0 ≤ − rank(E ) · Pyδ,α∗ (m) + h0 E∗ (m) + (E , φ) · δ(m) + K. Then, (3.10) immediately follows.

Lemma 3.4.13 The family YOK(N1 , K, y, L, δ) is bounded for some large N1 . d Proof We put d := dim X and g := c1 OX (1) ∩[X]. Take a sufficiently negative number C satisfying the following inequality for any sufficiently large t: 1 g d−1 d!

Take a large integer N1 such that the following inequalities hold for any m > N1 : d C + mg + c + δ(m) + K < P α∗ ,δ (m). C + mg + c > 0, δ(m) > 0, g d−1 · d! We will show that YOK(N1 , K, y, L, δ) is bounded. Let (E∗ , φ) ∈ YOK(N1 , K, y, L, δ). Let E denote the last member of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of E with respect to the standard semistability. Assume μ(E ) < C, and we will derive a contradiction. By Proposition 3.4.3, we have the following inequality:

(3.11) However, this contradicts with (3.10). Thus we obtain μ(E ) > C. It implies μmax (E) < C for some constant C , and thus we obtain the boundedness of YOK(N1 , K, y, δ) according to Proposition 3.4.2. Then, there exists an integer N2 such that the family YOK(N2 , K, y, L, δ) satisfies the condition Om for any m ≥ N2 . Lemma 3.4.14 Assume K1 is strictly smaller than α1 . Then, the map H 0 (q) : Vm −→ H 0 X, E(m) ∈ YOK(N 2 , K1 , y, L, δ). In particuis isomorphic for any q, E, F∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ] lar, q is surjective. Proof We have only to check that H 0 (q) is injective. Let W denote the kernel of H 0 (q). Then, we obtain the following inequality from (3.9): − i · dim(Wi ∩ W ) − α1 · dim(W ) + K1 ≥ 0. Because K1 < α1 , we obtain dim(W ) = 0, i.e., H 0 (q) is injective.

Let us finish the proof of Proposition 3.4.11. Let us consider the family S1 of parabolic L-Bradlow pairs (E∗ , φ ) with the following property: • There exists a member (E∗ , φ) ∈ YOK(N2 , K1 , y, L, δ) such that (E∗ , φ ) is isomorphic to the last member of Harder-Narasimhan filtration of (E∗ , φ) with respect to δ-semistability. Since S1 is bounded, there are only a finite number of polynomials which are the Hilbert polynomials of members in S1 . Therefore, there exists a small positive number K0 < K1 and a large integer N0 ≥ N2 such that the following holds for any m ≥ N0 . • Let (E∗ , φ) be a member of YOK(N0 , K0 , y, L, δ), which is not δ-semistable. Let (E∗ , φ ) denote the last member of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of δ (E∗ , φ) with respect to δ-semistability. Then, the inequality P(E (t) + K0 < ∗ ,φ ) δ,α∗ Py (t) holds for any t ≥ m. • The family S1 satisfies the condition Om . be its Let (E∗ , φ) be a member of YOK(N0 , K0 , y, L, δ), and let (q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ]) 0 , K0 , y, L, δ).

be the last member of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of (E∗ , φ) with respect to the δ-semistability. Then, we obtain the following inequality from (3.10) and the second condition: h0 E∗ (m) + (E , φ) · δ(m) + K0 δ,α∗ δ ≤ P(E Py (m) ≤ (m) + K0 ∗ ,φ ) rank(E ) This contradicts with the first condition. Thus we are done.

3.5 1-Stability Condition and 2-Stability Condition 3.5.1 Parabolic Sheaf Let y = (y, y1 , . . . , yl ) ∈ T ype, and let α∗ = (α1 , . . . , αl ) be a system of weights. Definition 3.5.1 • We say that the 1-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ ), if we have Ms (y, α∗ ) = Mss (y, α∗ ). • We say that the 2-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ ), if the automorphism group of E∗ ∈ Mss (y, α∗ ) is Gm or G2m . Lemma 3.5.2 The 2-stability condition for (y, α∗ ) is equivalent to the following condition: • Let E∗ be a parabolic sheaf of type y with weight α∗ , which is polystable but not stable. Then, we have the unique decomposition E∗ = E1 ∗ ⊕ E2 ∗ , where Ei ∗ are stable parabolic sheaves with weight α∗ such that E1 ∗ E2 ∗ . Proof Assume that the 2-stability condition holds. Let E∗ be a polystable parabolic sheaf of type y with weight α∗ . We have a decomposition E∗ = E1 ∗ ⊕ E2 ∗ . If one of Ei ∗ is not stable, then by taking graduation of a Jordan-H¨older filtration, we obtain a polystable parabolic sheaf E∗ = E1 ∗ ⊕ E2 ∗ ⊕ E3 ∗ of type y with weight α∗ . However, the automorphism of E∗ is G3m , which contradicts with the 2-stability condition. Assume that the condition above holds. Let E∗ be a semistable parabolic sheaf of f : E∗ −→ E∗ be an endomorphism. The eigenvalues of type y with weight α∗ . Let N f are constant. Let E∗ = i=1 Ei,∗ be the generalized eigen decomposition of f . N We have the decomposition f = i=1 fi . If N ≥ 3, the length of a Jordan-H¨older filtration is longer than 3, and hence we have a polystable object which has more than three stable components. Hence N ≤ 2. In the case N = 2, it can be shown that Ei ∗ are stable by the same argument. Hence the automorphism group is G2m . Let us consider the case N = 1. If E∗ is stable, the automorphism group is Gm . In the case E∗ is not stable, the length of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration

is 2. Moreover, the graded components are not mutually isomorphic. Hence the automorphism group is Gm . In the above argument, the following corollary is proved. Corollary 3.5.3 Assume that the 2-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ ). Let E∗ be a semistable parabolic sheaf of type y with weight α∗ . Then, one of the following holds: • E∗ is stable. • E∗ is uniquely decomposed into E1 ∗ ⊕ E2 ∗ , where Ei ∗ are stable such that E1 ∗ E2 ∗ . • We have the non-split exact sequence 0 −→ E1 ∗ −→ E∗ −→ E2 ∗ −→ 0, where Ei ∗ are stable such that E1 ∗ E2 ∗ .

3.5.2 Parabolic L-Bradlow Pair Let L be a line bundle on X, and let δ be an element of P br . Definition 3.5.4 • We say that the 1-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ , L, δ), if we have Ms (y, [L], α∗ , δ) = Mss (y, [L], α∗ , δ). • We say that the 2-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ , [L], δ), if the automorphism group of (E∗ , [φ]) ∈ Mss (y, [L], α∗ , δ) is Gm or G2m . Definition 3.5.5 Fix a type y ∈ T ype, a system of weights α∗ and a line bundle L. A parameter δ ∈ P br is called critical for (y, α∗ , L), if the 1-stability condition does not hold for (y, α∗ , L, δ). The set of such critical parameters is denoted by Cr(y, α∗ , L). Lemma 3.5.6 The set Cr(y, α∗ , L) is finite. Proof We may assume rank(y) > 1 and μ(y, α∗ ) ≥ 0. Recall Proposition 3.4.5. Let d := dim X. We can take a sufficiently negative number C such that there does not exist δ-semistable L-Bradlow pairs for any δ with (d − 1)!δtop ≥ −C. Let S1 denote the family of L-Bradlow pairs (E∗ , φ ) with the following property: • There exists a member (E∗ , φ) of SS(y, L, α∗ ) such that (E∗ , φ ) is a saturated subobject of (E∗ , φ). • deg(E∗ ) ≥ C. Since S1 is bounded (Proposition 3.4.1), we obtain the finiteness of the set T1 of polynomials H such that HE∗ = H for some (E∗ , φ ) ∈ S1 .

Let δ be an element of Cr(y, L, α∗ ). Then, there exists a δ-semistable (E∗ , φ) such that φ = 0, which has a non-trivial partial Jordan-H¨older filtration (E∗ , φ ) ⊂ (E∗ , φ). We have the following equality: deg(E∗ ) + (E , φ ) · (d − 1)!δtop deg(E∗ ) + (d − 1)!δtop =

rank E rank E Because (d − 1)!δtop ≤ −C, we obtain the following inequality: deg(E∗ ) ≥ rank(E ) · μ(E∗ ) − (d − 1)!δtop ≥ C δ δ Hence, (E∗ , φ ) is a member of S1 . Because P(E = P(E ,φ) , there exist H ∈ T1 , ∗ ∗ ,φ ) r1 ∈ {1, . . . , r − 1} and ∈ {0, 1} satisfying the following: ' ( 1 H HE∗ − − , ·δ = r r1 r r1

Then, finiteness of Cr(y, L, α∗ ) follows from finiteness of T1 .

Corollary 3.5.7 If δ = δ is sufficiently close to some element δ ∈ P br , the 1-stability condition holds for (y, L, α∗ , δ ). If δ is sufficiently close to 0, the 1-stability condition for (y, L, α∗ , δ ). Lemma 3.5.8 Let δ0 be an element of P br . If δ1 ∈ P br is sufficiently close to δ0 , any δ1 -semistable L-Bradlow pair is also δ0 -semistable. 3.5.6. Proof Let S, S1 and T1 be as in the proof of Lemma Let r1 ∈ {1, . .. , r − 1} and ∈ {0, 1}. We put P (H, r1 , , δ) := r1−1 H + · δ − r−1 Hyα∗ + δ for any δ ∈ P br and H ∈ T1 . If δ1 is sufficiently close to δ0 , the following holds: (A) P (H, r1 , , δ1 )(t) > 0 implies P (H, r1 , , δ0 )(t) ≥ 0 for any sufficiently large t. Let δ1 be as above. We may assume that the 1-stability condition holds for (y, L, α∗ , δ1 ). Let (E∗ , φ) ∈ Ms (y, L, α∗ , δ1 ), which is not δ0 -semistable. Then, there exists a saturated subobject (E∗ , φ ) of (E∗ , φ) with the following property: δ0 δ0 • P(E ,φ ) (t) > P(E ,φ) (t) for any sufficiently large t. ∗ ∗

δ1 δ1 • P(E ,φ ) (t) < P(E ,φ) (t) for any sufficiently large t. ∗ ∗

Then, (E∗ , φ ) is a member of S1 thanks to the first inequality. Therefore, the two inequalities contradict with the condition (A) above. Thus we are done. By a similar argument, we can show the following. Lemma 3.5.9 Let y be an element of T ype, and let α∗ be a system of weights. Assume δ is sufficiently small. Then, E∗ is semistable if (E∗ , φ) is a δ-stable L-Bradlow pair.

3.5 1-Stability Condition and 2-Stability Condition

87

Proof Let S be a family of μ-semistable parabolic torsion-free sheaves of type y with weight α∗ . Let S denote the family of parabolic torsion-free sheaves E∗ with the following property: • There exists E∗ ∈ S such that E∗ is a saturated subobject of E∗ . Moreover, μ(E∗ ) = μ(y, α∗ ). Let T denote the set of the polynomials P such that P = Pyα∗ and P = PE∗ for some E∗ ∈ S. Since the families S and S are bounded, the set T is finite. We take a positive number δ1 satisfying the following: 0 < δ1 <

1 min |P − Pyα∗ | P ∈ T 10 · rank(y)

We regard δ1 as a polynomial of degree 0. Let (E∗ , φ) be a δ1 -semistable L-Bradlow pair of type y with weight α∗ . It is easy to observe that E∗ is μ-semistable. Let E∗ be a subobject of E∗ . In the case μ(E∗ ) < μ(E∗ ), we obviously have PE∗ < PE∗ . Assume μ(E∗ ) = μ(E∗ ) and PE∗ = PE∗ . Then, E∗ is a member of S, and PE∗ is a member of T . By δ1 -semistability of (E∗ , φ), we have the following: PE∗ +

(E∗ , φ) · δ1 δ1 ≤ PE∗ +

rank E rank E

It implies PE∗ < PE∗ by our choice of δ1 .

By an argument used in the proof of Lemma 3.5.2, we obtain the following lemma. Lemma 3.5.10 The 2-stability condition for (y, α∗ , L, δ) is equivalent to the following: • Let (E∗ , φ) be a parabolic L-Bradlow pair of type y with weight α∗ such that φ = 0, which is δ-polystable but not δ-stable. Then, we have the unique decomposition (E∗ , φ) = (E1 ∗ , φ1 ) ⊕ E2 ∗ , where (E1 ∗ , φ1 ) is δ-stable and E2 ∗ is stable. Moreover, when the 2-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ , L, δ), one of the following holds for any δ-semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ) of type y with weight α∗ such that φ = 0. • (E∗ , φ) is δ-stable. • (E∗ , φ) has the unique decomposition (E∗ , φ) = (E1 ∗ , φ1 ) ⊕ E2 ∗ , where (E1 ∗ , φ1 ) is δ-stable and E2 ∗ is stable. • We have the non-split exact sequence 0 −→ (E1 ∗ , φ1 ) −→ (E∗ , φ) −→ E2 ∗ −→ 0 or 0 −→ E2 ∗ −→ (E∗ , φ) −→ (E1 ∗ , φ1 ) −→ 0, where (E1 ∗ , φ) is δ-stable and E2 ∗ is stable.

3.5.3 Parabolic L-Bradlow Pair Let L = (L1 , L2 ) be a pair of line bundles on X, and let δ = (δ1 , δ2 ) be elements 2 of P br . Similarly, we have 1-stability and 2-stability conditions. Definition 3.5.11 • We say that the 1-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ , L, δ), if we have Ms (y, [L], α∗ , δ) = Mss (y, [L], α∗ , δ). • We say that the 2-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ , L, δ), if the automorphism group of any (E∗ , [φ]) ∈ Mss (y, [L], α∗ , δ) is Gm or G2m . Definition 3.5.12 • Fix a type y ∈ T ype, a system of weights α∗ and a pair of line bundles L. A parameter δ ∈ (P br )2 is called critical for (y, α∗ , L), if the 1-stability condition does not hold for (y, α∗ , L, δ). The set of such critical parameters is denoted by Cr(y, α∗ , L). • We also put as follows: Cr(y, α∗ , L, δ1 ) := δ2 ∈ P br (δ1 , δ2 ) ∈ Cr(y, α∗ , L) Any element δ2 ∈ Cr(y, α∗ , L, δ1 ) is called critical for (y, α∗ , L, δ1 ).

We can show the following lemma by using Lemma 3.4.8 and an argument used in the proof of Lemma 3.5.6. Lemma 3.5.13 The set Cr(y, L, α∗ , δ1 ) is finite.

By an argument used in the proof of Lemma 3.5.8, we can show the following lemma. Lemma 3.5.14 If δ2 are sufficiently close to δ2 , any (δ1 , δ2 )-semistable L-Bradlow pair is also (δ1 , δ2 )-semistable. If δ2 is sufficiently close to 0, the L1 -Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ1 ) is δ1 -semistable for any (δ1 , δ2 )-semistable L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ1 , φ2 ). Lemma 3.5.15 Assume that δ1 + δ2 is sufficiently small as in Lemma 3.5.9. Then, if (E∗ , φ1 , φ2 ) is a (δ1 , δ2 )-semistable L-Bradlow pair, E∗ is semistable. Lemma 3.5.16 If both δi are sufficiently small, the following claims hold: • If the 1-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ ), then the 1-stability condition holds also for (y, α∗ , L, δ). • Even if the 1-stability condition does not hold for (y, α∗ ), the 2-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ , L, δ). • If the 1-stability condition does not hold for δ = (δ1 , δ2 ), the equality δ1 /r1 = δ2 /r2 holds for some decomposition r1 + r2 = rank(y).

Proof We take δi as in the proof of Lemma 3.5.9. The first claim is clear. Let us show the second claim. Let (E∗ , φ1 , φ2 ) be a (δ1 , δ2 )-polystable L-Bradlow pair of type y with weight α∗ such that φi = 0. We remark that E∗ is semistable. Since δi are sufficiently small, the number of stable components are at most 2. If it is decomposed, it is of the form (E1 ∗ , φ1 , 0) ⊕ (E2 ∗ , 0, φ2 ), where (Ei ∗ , φi ) are δi -stable with φi = 0. The components are not isomorphic. Hence the 2-stability condition holds. The third claim also immediately follows.

3.6 Quot Schemes 3.6.1 Preliminary Let y ∈ T ype◦ . The H 2 (X)-component of y is denoted by det(y). Let y(m) denote y · ch O(m) for any integer m. Let Hy be the Hilbert polynomial associated to y (Subsection 3.2.4). Take a large integer m such that Hy (m) > 0. We also assume that any line bundles M with c1 (M ) = det y(m) satisfy H i (X, M ) = 0 (i > 0). We take an Hy (m)dimensional vector space Vm over k. We denote Vm ⊗ OX by Vm,X .

3.6.2 Quotient Sheaves A pair of U -coherent sheaf E on U × X and a surjection q : p∗U Vm,X −→ E is called a U -quotient sheaf of Vm,X , which is denoted by (q, E) or simply by q. A U -quotient sheaf (q, E) with an orientation ρ is called an oriented U -quotient sheaf of Vm,X . The type of (q, E) or (q, E, ρ) is defined to be the type of E(−m). (See Subsection 3.1.4 for the type.) Recall that the moduli functor of quotient sheaves of Vm,X with type y is representable by a projective scheme ([57]). We denote it by Q(m, y). Let (q u , E u ) denote the universal quotient sheaf of Vm,X on Q(m, y) × X. A point of Q(m, y) is denoted by the corresponding quotient q, E . We have the right action of GL(Vm ) on Q(m, y) given by g · (q, E) := (q ◦ g, E). Let (q, E) be a U -quotient sheaf of Vm,X with type y defined over U × X. We say that q, E satisfies (TFV)-condition, if the following holds for any u ∈ U : 0 X, E is (TFV): E|{u}×X is torsion-free, the induced map V −→ H m |{u}×X i isomorphic, and H X, E|{u}×X vanish for any i > 0. In general, it determines the maximal open subset of U on which (TFV)-condition holds. In particular, we obtain the open subset of Q(m, y) determined by (TFV)condition, which is denoted by Q◦ (m, y). Let Or(E u ) denote the orientation bundle, which is the line bundle on Q(m, y). The moduli functor of oriented quotient sheaves of Vm,X with type y is representable

by Q(m, y ) := Or(E u )∗ . We have the induced right action of GL(Vm ) on Q(m, y ). We put Q◦ (m, y ) := Q◦ (m, y) ×Q(m,y) Q(m, y ).

3.6.3 Quotient Quasi-Parabolic Sheaves and Maruyama-Yokogawa Construction Let D be a Cartier divisor of X. Let y and Vm,X be given as above. A U -quasiparabolic quotient sheaf (q, E, F∗ ) of Vm,X on U × (X, D) is defined to be a U -quotient sheaf (q, E) of Vm,X with a U -quasi-parabolic structure F∗ of E at D. The type of U -quasi-parabolic quotient sheaf (q, E,F∗ ) of Vm,X is defined to be the type of the underlying U -quasi-parabolic sheaf E(−m), F∗ . (See Subsection 3.1.4 for the type.) Let y be an element of T ype, whose H ∗ (X)-component is y. Let q, E, F∗ be a U -quotient quasi-parabolic sheaf of Vm,X with type y on U × (X, D). We say that q, E, F∗ satisfies (TFV)-condition, if (q, E) satisfies (TFV)-condition and if the following holds for any u ∈ U and for any i: (TFV): The restrictions Fi (E)|{u}×X and Coki (E)|{u}×X are generated by global sections, and the higher cohomology groups of Fi (E)|{u}×X and Coki (E)|{u}×X vanish. In general, it determines the maximal open subset of U on which (TFV)-condition holds. We set Hi := Hy,i . Let Qm,i denote a scheme representing the moduli functor of the quotient sheaves of Vm,X whose Hilbert polynomials are Hi . We have the natural right GL(Vm )-action on Q m,i . We have the open subset Um,i of Qm,i given by the conditions (i) H j X, Ei = 0 for any j > 0, (ii) Vm −→ H 0 X, Ei is surjective. Let Gm,i denote the Grassmannian variety, which is a moduli of Hi (m)-dimensional quotient space of the vector space Vm . We have the GL(Vm )equivariant morphism of Um,i to Gm,i by the correspondence: qi , Ei −→ H 0 (qi ) : Vm → H 0 X, Ei (m) Let Qtf (m, y) denote the open subset of Q(m, y) consisting of the points corresponding to the torsion-free quotients. For their construction of a moduli of semistable parabolic sheaves, Maruyama and Yokogawa constructed a subscheme .l Γ of Qtf (m, y) × i Um,i . (See section 3 of [87].) The scheme Γ is a moduli of quotient quasi-parabolic sheaves (q, E, F∗ ) of Vm,X with type y satisfying the following conditions, (i) E is torsion-free, (ii) the higher cohomology groups of Coki (E) vanish, (iii) Vm −→ H 0 X, Coki (E) are surjective for any i. Moreover, (TFV)-condition determines the open subset of Γ , which is denoted by Q◦ (m, y). The scheme Q◦ (m, y) represents the moduli functor of quotient quasiparabolic sheaves of Vm,X with type y satisfying (TFV)-conditions. We have the universal objects on Q◦ (m, y) × X, which is denoted by q u , E u , F∗u . We have the right GL(Vm )-action on Q◦ (m, y) given by g · (q, E, F∗ ) := (q ◦ g, E, F∗ ).

Taking Therefore, we obtain a morphism Q◦ (m, y) × i Um,i −→ Zm. composition with the inclusion Q◦ (m, y) −→ Q◦ (m, y).× i Um,i , we obtain a GL(Vm )-equivariant morphism Q◦ (m, y) −→ Zm × i Gm,i . The following lemma was shown in [87]. . Lemma 3.6.1 ([87], Proposition 3.2) The morphism Q◦ (m, y) −→ Zm × i Gm,i is an immersion. Proof We give only some remarks. Since the morphism Q◦ (m, y) −→ Zm is an immersion, we have only to consider the morphism of Q◦ (m, y) to Q◦ (m, y) × . Gm,i . Recall the precise result of Maruyama and Yokogawa: Let α∗ be a system of weights. Let Γ ss denote the open subscheme of Γ such that the corresponding parabolic sheaves (E, F∗ , α∗ ) are semistable. We may assume that (TFV)-condition holds for each member Γ ss . . They showed that the morphism of Γ ss to Q◦ (m, y) × i Gm,i is an immersion. Their argument can be summarized as follows: . . (i) Construct a subscheme Z of.Q(m, y) × i Qm,i × i Gm,i such that the projection of Z to Q(m, y) × i Gm,i is immersive.

Then, Q(m, y) × i Qm,i × i Gm,i . It . the projection of G to . Q(m, y) × i Gm,i is immersive. Hence the morphism Γ ss −→ Qtf (m, y) × i Gm,i is an immersion. In their argument, we only need the fact that each member of Γ ss satisfies (TFV)condition. (It is stated as the . conditions (3.0.1) and (3.0.2) in [87].) Hence the mor phism Q◦ (m, y) −→ Zm × i Gm,i is immersive. See [87] for more details.

3.6.4 Quotient L-Bradlow Pair Let L be a line bundle on X. Fix a non-trivial morphism ι : OX (−m) −→ L. Let q : p∗U Vm,X −→ E be a U -quotient sheaf with type y defined over U × X satisfying

Definition 3.6.2 (Quotient L-section) Let (q, E) be a quotient sheaf of Vm,X de∗ fined over U × X. An OX -section φ of pU Vm,X is called a quotient L-section of q, E with respect to ι, if there exists an L-section of E(−m) such that ι(φ) = q ◦φ. that the element q ◦ φ ∈ Γ U × X, E is contained in The condition means Γ U × X, E(−m) ⊗ L−1 , where the inclusion E(−m) ⊗ L−1 −→ E is given by ι. Definition 3.6.3 A quotient U -quasi-parabolic L-Bradlow pair of Vm,X with type y on U ×(X, D) is defined to be a pair q, E, F∗ , φ of a quotient U -quasi-parabolic sheaf (q, E, F∗ ) of Vm,X with type y over U × (X, D) and a quotient L-section φ with respect to ι. Let us construct a moduli scheme Q◦ (m, y, L) of quotient quasi-parabolic L-Bradlow pairs of Vm,X with type y satisfying (TFV)-condition, whose L-section ◦ ◦ ∗ m, y, O m, y (−m) := Q is non-trivial everywhere. We put Q X × Vm . Let ◦ ◦ π denote the projection of Q m, y, O(−m) × X onto Q m, y × X. On Q◦ m, y, O(−m) ×X, we have the quotient quasi-parabolic sheaf π ∗ (q u , E u , F∗u ) u of Vm,X with type y.

Recall the following result (Lemma 4.3 of [133]) due to Yokogawa. Lemma 3.6.4 Let f : X −→ S be a proper morphism of Noetherian schemes and φ : I −→ F be an OX -morphism of coherent sheaves. Assume that F is flat over S. Then, there exists a unique closed subscheme Z of S such that for all morphism g : T −→ S, g ∗ φ = 0 if and only if g factors through Z. Remark the following easy lemma. Lemma 3.6.5 Let E be a U -coherent sheaf on X ×U such that E|X×{u} is torsionfree for any u ∈ U . Let D be a Cartier divisor of X. Then, E ⊗ OD is flat over U . Proof Let f be any local section of OX , and let F be any OU -coherent sheaf. We have only to show the injectivity of Gf of E⊗OU F induced by f . the endomorphism By considering the support of pX Ker(Gf ) , it is reduced to the case U = Spec(K) and F = OU for some field K. In the case, the claim is trivial. According to the above two lemmas, the vanishing condition of Λ gives the closed subscheme of Q◦ m, y, O(−m) , which is Q◦ (m, y, L). By the construction, it is easy to see that Q◦ (m, y, L) has the desired property. We denote the

3.6.5 Quotient Reduced L-Bradlow Pair Let ι : OX −→ L(m) be the fixed non-trivial morphism. Let q : p∗U Vm,X −→ E be a U -quotient sheaf of Vm,X defined over U × X. A reduced OX -section [φ] of p∗U Vm,X and q induce a reduced OX -section q∗ ([φ]) of E. A reduced L-section [φ] of E(−m) and ι induce a reduced OX -section ι([φ]) of E. Definition 3.6.6 • A reduced OX -section [φ] of p∗U Vm,X is called a quotient reduced L-section if there exists a reduced L-section of E(−m) such that ι([φ]) = q∗ ([φ]). • A quotient U -quasi-parabolicreduced L-Bradlow pair of Vm,X with type y on U ×X is defined to be a tuple q, E, F∗ , [φ] of quotient U -quasi-parabolic sheaf (q, E, F∗ ) of Vm,X with type y and a reduced L-section [φ] of E(−m). We also assume that [φ] is non-trivial everywhere. Let us construct a scheme Q◦ (m, y, [L]) representing the moduli functor of quotient quasi-parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair of Vm,X with type y satisfying (TFV)◦ condition. We have the free Gm -action on the scheme Q (m, y, L) defined by t·(q, E, F∗ , φ) = q, E, F∗ , t·φ . Then, we set Q◦ (m, y, [L]) := Q◦ (m, y, L)/Gm . It is a closed subscheme of Q◦ (m, y) × Pm . The naturally defined morphism π : Q◦ (m, y, [L]) × X −→ Q◦ (m, y) × X induces the quotient quasi-parabolic u sheaf q u , E u , F ∗u := (π ∗ q u , π ∗ E u , π ∗ F∗u ). The morphism φ naturally induces u a reduced OX -section [φ ] : p∗Q◦ (m,y,[L]) OX ⊗ OPm (−1) −→ p∗Q◦ (m,y,[L]) Vm,X .

Lemma 3.6.7 q u , E u , F ∗u , [φu ] is the universal object, i.e., Q◦ (m, y, [L]) has the desired universal property. Proof We give only an outline. By Lemma 3.6.4, we may assume (i) L = O(−m), (ii) ι is the identity. Let (q, E, F∗ , [φ]) denote a U -quotient quasi-parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair, satisfying (TFV)-condition. We have the map F : U −→ Q◦ (m, y) corresponding to (q, E, F∗ ). We have the locally free sheaf pX ∗ E and pX ∗ E u on U and Q◦ (m, y) respectively. Let P1 and P2 denote the projectivization of them. We have Ψ ∗ P2 P1 , and we have the natural morphism Ψ : P1 −→ P2 . We remark that P2 is naturally

isomorphic to Q◦ m, y, [O(−m)] = Q◦ m, y × Pm . The pull back of the natuu rally defined reduced L-section [φ ] on P2 × X is the same as the naturally defined reduced L-section on P1 × X. The reduced L-morphism [φ] induces a section f : U −→ P1 . It is easy to see that [φ] is the pull back of the naturally defined reduced L-section on P1 × X by fX . Thus we are done. Since the above Gm -action and the GL(Vm )-action on Q◦ (m, y, L) are commutative, we obtain the induced right GL(Vm )-action on Q◦ (m, y, [L]) and a universal object. We also obtain a GL(Vm )-equivariant immersion of Q◦ (m, y, [L]) to . Zm × i Gm,i × P(Vm∨ ).

3.6.6 Quotient Reduced L-Bradlow Pair Let L = (L1 , L2 ) be a pair of line bundles on X. Quotient quasi-parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pairs of Vm,X with type y can be given as in Definition 3.6.6. It is easy to construct a scheme Q◦ (m, y, [L]) representing the moduli functor of quotient quasi-parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pairs of Vm,X with type y satisfying (TFV)conditions. In fact, we have only to take the fiber product of Q◦ (m, y, [Li ]) (i = (m, y, [L]) 1, 2) over Q◦ (m, y). We have the natural right GL(Vm )-action on Q◦. and the GL(Vm )-equivariant immersion Q◦ (m, y, [L]) −→ Zm × i Gm,i × Pm × Pm .

3.6.8 Quotient Stacks We have the universal quotient quasi-parabolic sheaf q u , E u , F∗ of p∗Q◦ (m,y) Vm,X ◦ ◦ over uon Q (m, y) is naturally lifted to that on u Qu (m,y) × X. The GL(Vm )-action the descent of E (−m), F q , E , F∗ . By taking ∗ , we obtain a quasi-parabolic sheaf (E u , F∗ ) on Q◦ (m, y)/ GL(Vm ) × (X, D). The following lemma is well known. Lemma 3.6.8 Let y ∈ T ype. The quotient stack Q◦ (m, y)/ GL(Vm ) is isomorphic to M(m, y), and the quasi-parabolic sheaf (E u , F∗ ) gives a universal object. Proof Let g : T −→ M(m, y) be a morphism. We have the corresponding T -quasi-parabolic sheaf (E, F∗ ) on T × X of type y, satisfying the condition Om . We obtain the vector bundle V := pX ∗ E(m) on T . Let P denote the associated principal GL(Vm )-bundle, and let π : P −→ T denote the projection. On P , we have the equivariant trivialization π ∗ V Vm ⊗ OP . Let πX : P × X −→ T × X ∗ E(m) induced by π. We have the equivariant morphism q : p∗P Vm,X −→ πX ∗ on P × X. We obtain the quotient quasi-parabolic sheaf q, πX E(m), F∗ on P × X which is naturally GL(Vm )-equivariant. It also satisfies (TFV)-condition. Therefore, we obtain the GL(Vm )-equivariant morphism P −→ Q◦ (m, y), in other words, the morphism T −→ Q◦ (m, y)/ GL(Vm ). In particular, we obtain M(m, y) −→ Q◦ (m, y)/ GL(Vm ). Conversely, let g : T −→ Q◦ (m, y)/ GL(Vm ). We have the corresponding GL(Vm )-torsor P (g) over T with the GL(Vm )-equivariant morphism g : P (g) −→ ∗ ∗ u (q u ) : p∗P (g) Vm,X −→ gX E Q◦ (m, y). On P (g) × X, we have the quotient gX ∗ with the quasi-parabolic structure gX F , which is GL(Vm )-equivariant. By tak with respect to the action, we obtain the T -quasi-parabolic sheaf ingu the descent E (−m), F∗ on T × X. It satisfies the condition Om . Therefore, we obtain the morphism of T to M(m, y). In particular, we obtain Q◦ (m, y)/ GL(Vm ) −→ M(m, y). It is easy to check that they are mutually inverse.

Chapter 4

Geometric Invariant Theory and Enhanced Master Space

We recall how to construct moduli stacks by using the geometric invariant theory. Then, we construct enhanced master spaces in our situation, and we describe the fixed point set with respect to a natural torus action. In Section 4.1, we review a basic result on the geometric invariant theory for our construction of moduli stacks of δ-semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pairs. In Section 4.2, we consider a perturbation of a δ-semistability condition. Namely, we multiply a full flag bundle to quot schemes, and we argue what is obtained for small perturbation of semistability conditions. The results in Sections 4.3–4.4 are one of the cores of this paper, which are useful in showing our transition formula. In Section 4.3, we construct our enhanced master space, and we show that it is Deligne-Mumford and proper. In Section 4.4, we study the fixed point set with respect to a natural torus action. In Section 4.5, we construct an enhanced master space in the oriented case, and we give a description of the stack theoretic fixed point set with respect to the natural torus action. They are essentially just a reformulation of the results in the previous sections. We give a more convenient description of the fixed point set in Section 4.6, i.e., we observe that they are isomorphic to the product of moduli stacks of objects with lower ranks, up to e´ tale proper morphisms. In some simpler cases, we do not have to consider enhanced master spaces. The statements for such cases are given in Section 4.7. In this chapter, let X be a smooth connected d-dimensional projective variety over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, and let OX (1) be a very ample line bundle. Put g := X c1 (OX (1))d . Let D denote a Cartier divisor of X. We do not have to assume smoothness of D in this chapter. We sometimes use the symbol k to denote some numbers. We hope that there are no confusion.

4 Geometric Invariant Theory and Enhanced Master Space

4.1 Semistability Condition and Mumford-Hilbert Criterion 4.1.1 Statement We use the notation in Section 3.6. Let y = (y, y1 , y2 , . . . , yl ) ∈ T ype. (See Subsection 3.1.4.) We have the associated polynomials Hy , Hy,1 , Hy,2 , . . . , Hy,l . (See Subsection 3.2.4.) In the following, m denotes a sufficiently large integer. Let Vm be an Hy (m)-dimensional vector space over k, and let Pm denote the projectivization. Let Vm,X := Vm ⊗ OX . Let Zm denote the Gieseker space over Pic det(y(m)) , and let Gm,i denote the Grassmann variety of Hy,i (m)dimensional quotients of Vm . We set Am (y) := Zm × Gm,i , Am (y, [L]) := Am (y) × Pm , i (2) Am (y, [L]) := Am (y) × P(1) m × Pm .

Here, L (resp. L = (L1 , L2 )) denotes a line bundle (a pair of line bundles) on (i) X, and Pm := Pm . Recall that we have obtained the SL(Vm )-equivariant immersions Ψm of Q◦ (m, y) to Am (y). (See Subsection 3.6.3). By fixing an in◦ clusion ι : O(−m) −→◦ L, we have a closed immersion Q (m, y, [L]) −→ ◦ Q m, y, [O(−m)] = Q (m, y) × Pm . Therefore, we obtain an equivariant immersion of Q◦ (m, y, [L]) to Am (y, [L]). Similarly, we obtain an equivariant immersion of Q◦ (m, y, [L]) to Am (y, [L]) by fixing inclusions ιi : O(−m) −→ Li . The immersions are denoted by Ψm . Since Zm is a projective space bundle on PicX det(y(m)) , we have the relative tautological bundle OZm (1). We also have the canonical polarizations OGm,i (1) and OPm (1) of Gm,i and Pm respectively. They are SL(Vm )-equivariant line bundles. For a positive number A and a tuple of positive numbers B∗ = (Bi | i = 1, . . . , l), we formally consider the line bundles on Am (y) given as follows, although it is not precisely a line bundle when the numbers are not integers: Ly (A, B∗ ) := OZm (A) ⊗

l

OGm,i (Bi ).

i=1

Similarly, for positive numbers C and Cj (j = 1, 2), we formally consider Ly,L (A, B∗ , C) := Ly (A, B∗ ) ⊗ OPm (C)

on Am (y, L),

Ly,L (A, B∗ , C1 , C2 ) := Ly (A, B∗ ) ⊗ OP(1) (C1 ) ⊗ OP(2) (C2 ) m

m

on Am (y, L).

When the numbers are positive rational numbers, Ly (A, B∗ ) gives a SL(Vm )equivariant Q-polarization of Am (y). Even if the numbers are not rational, the Hilbert-Mumford criterion formally provides the semistability condition with respect to Ly (A, B∗ ). So, let Ass m (y, A, B∗ ) denote the set of semistable points of

the SL(Vm )-action on Am (y) with respect to Ly (A, B∗ ). Similarly, we obtain the ss schemes Ass m (y, L, A, B∗ , C) and Am (y, L, A, B∗ , C1 , C2 ). The semistability (resp. stability) condition with respect to a system of weights α∗ determines the open subset Qss (m, y, α∗ ) (resp. Qs (m, y, α∗ )) of Q◦ (m, y). Namely, it is the maximal open subset of Q◦ (m, y) which consists of the points (q, E, F∗ ) such that the parabolic sheaf (E(−m), F∗ , α∗ ) is semistable. Similarly, we obtain the open subset Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ) (resp. Qs (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ)) of Q◦ (m, y, [L]) determined by the semistability (stability) condition with respect to a system of weights α∗ and a parameter δ ∈ P br . We also obtain the open subsets Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ) and Qs (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ) of Q◦ (m, y, [L]) in similar ways. The first claim of the following proposition was proved by Maruyama-Yokogawa [87] and the second claim was proved by Yokogawa in [134]. Proposition 4.1.1 There exists an integer N (y, α∗ ) such that the following holds for any m ≥ N (y, α∗ ): 1. The image of Qss (m, y, α∗ ) via Ψm is contained in Ass m, y, Pyα∗ (m), ∗ . Thus, we obtain a morphism Ψ m : Qss (m, y, α∗ ) −→ Ass m, y, Pyα∗ (m), ∗ . 2. The morphism Ψ m above is proper. In particular, it is a closed immersion. By the same argument, we can show the following proposition. Proposition 4.1.2 There exists an integer N1 (y, L, α∗ , δ) such that the following claims hold for any m ≥ N1 (y, L, α∗ , δ): α ,δ ∗ 1. Ψm (Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ)) ⊂ Ass (m), ∗ , δ(m) . Hence, we obtain a m Py morphism: α∗ ,δ Ψ m : Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ) −→ Ass (m), ∗ , δ(m) m Py 2. The morphism Ψ m above is proper. In particular, it is a closed immersion. Similarly, there exists a large integer N1 (y, L, α∗ , δ) such that there exists a SL(Vm )-equivariant closed immersion for each m ≥ N1 (y, L, α∗ , δ): α∗ ,δ Ψ m : Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ) −→ Ass (m), ∗ , δ(m) . m y, [L], Py Here, we put δ(m) := (δ1 (m), δ2 (m)). Although we need only a minor modification, we will later give a rather detailed proof of the claims for (y, L, α∗ , δ) in Proposition 4.1.2, for the convenience of the reader. We closely follow the arguments of [87] and [134]. We also use the argument in [62]. Since the claim for (y, L, α∗ , δ) can be shown similarly, we omit to give its proof. We also obtain the following proposition. Proposition 4.1.3 Ψm Qs (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ) ⊂ Asm (y, [L], α∗ , δ). Similar claims hold for Qs (m, y, α∗ ) and Qs (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ).

4 Geometric Invariant Theory and Enhanced Master Space

The claim for Qs (m, y) was proved by Maruyama-Yokogawa in [87]. Since the argument is similar to that used in the proof of the first claim of Proposition 4.1.2, we give just some remarks in the proof of Proposition 4.1.2. Remark 4.1.4 If αi and the coefficients of δ and δi (i = 1, 2) are rational, it is standard to obtain projective coarse moduli schemes of δ-semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pairs or δ-semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pairs from Proposition 4.1.2. Even if the numbers are not rational, we can obtain coarse moduli schemes of δ-stable parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pairs, if the 1-stability condition holds for (y, L, α∗ , δ). Take a sufficiently large N > 0, and take rational numbers A, B∗ = (Bi | i = 1, . . . , l) and C which are close to N · Pyδ,α∗ (m), N · ∗ and N · δ(m) respectively. If a point of A(m, y, [L]) is stable with respect to Ly,L Pyδ,α∗ (m), ∗ , δ(m) , then it is stable with respect to Ly,L (A, B∗ , C). Thus, we can obtain a coarse scheme by using the geometric invariant theory (Proposition 2.2.1). Therefore, if the 1-stability condition holds, we obtain a projective coarse moduli scheme of semistable ones. Before going into a proof of Proposition 4.1.2, we give some consequences about the property of the moduli stacks. Corollary 4.1.5 If the 1-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ ), the moduli stack y , α∗ ) is Deligne-Mumford and proper. Ms (

Proof Under the assumption, we obtain Qss (y, α∗ ) = Qs (y, α∗ ). It is easy to show finiteness of the stabilizer of any point z ∈ Qs (y, α∗ ) with respect to the SL(Vm )-action from Corollary 3.3.5. Then, the quotient stack Qs (y, α∗ )/ SL(Vm ) is Deligne-Mumford and proper, according to Proposition 4.1.1, Proposition 4.1.3 and Proposition 2.2.2. Note we have the e´ tale proper morphisms: Qs (y, α∗ )/ SL(Vm ) −→ Qs (y, α∗ )/ PGL(Vm ) M(

y , α∗ ) −→ Qs (y, α∗ )/ PGL(Vm ) Hence, it is easy to deduce the claimed property of M(

y , α∗ ).

Similarly, we obtain the following. Proposition 4.1.6 • If the 1-stability condition holds for (y, L, α∗ , δ), then Ms (

y , [L], α∗ , δ) and Ms (y, L, α∗ , δ) are Deligne-Mumford and proper. y , [L], α∗ , δ) is • If the 1-stability condition holds for (y, L, α∗ , δ), then Ms (

Deligne-Mumford and proper. Remark 4.1.7 We can show Corollary 4.1.5 and Proposition 4.1.6 directly. For example, since the automorphism groups of any stable oriented parabolic sheaves are y , α∗ ) is Deligne-Mumford. The properness can be shown by Langton’s finite, Ms (

trick [78]. However, since we would like to use master spaces, we argue the GITconstruction.

4.1 Semistability Condition and Mumford-Hilbert Criterion

4.1.2 Mumford-Hilbert Criterion be a Yokogawa Let us start the proof of Proposition 4.1.2. Let (q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ]) , we obtain the tuple of quotients datum of type (y, m) (Definition 3.4.9). From W ∗ . Vm /Wi | i = 1, . . . , l , which gives the point of i Gm,i . It is denoted by Vm /W∗ . Then, we obtain the following element of Am (y, [L]): r 0 0 (4.1) Ψ q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ] := H q , Vm /W∗ , [φ] ∈ Am (y, [L]). is given as in Definition Let W be a subspace of Vm . The number (W, [φ]) 3.4.10. Let EW denote the subsheaf of E(m) generated by the image of W via q. is contained in Ass P α∗ ,δ (m), ∗ , δ(m) , if Lemma 4.1.8 Ψ q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ] m y and only if the following inequalities hold for any non-trivial subspace W ⊂ Vm : Pyα∗ ,δ (m)·rank(EW )−(W, [φ])·δ(m)−

is a semistable point, if and only if In other words, Ψ (q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ]) ∈ YOK(m, (q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ]) 0, y, L, δ). is contained in As P α∗ ,δ (m), ∗ , δ(m) , if and The point Ψ q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ] m y only if the strict inequalities hold in (4.2) for any subspace W ⊂ Vm . 1l Proof We give only an indication. We set L1 := OZ Pyα∗ (m) ⊗ i=1 OGm i (i ) −1 α ,δ and L2 := OZ r · δ(m) ⊗ OPm (δ(m)). We have L Py ∗ (m), ∗ , δ(m) = L1 ⊗ L2 . We put N := dim Vm = Hy (m). Let u1 , . . . , uN be a basis of Vm satisfying the following: λ(t) · ui = twi · ui , w1 ≤ w2 ≤ · · · ≤ wN , wi = 0. (4.3) We remark that we can regard (4.3) as the condition for λ, when we fix a basis u 1 , . . . , uN . The number μλ (P, L1 ) is calculated in [87] (see also [7]): μλ (P, L1 ) =

Here, E (i) denote the subsheaves of E(m) generated by u1 , . . . , ui via q, and V (i) denote the subspaces of Vm generated by u1 , . . . , ui . The number μλ (P, L2 ) equals δ(m) ×

The number μλ (P, L) can denotes the subspace of Vm generated by φ. Here, φ be obtained as the sum of (4.4) and (4.5). In particular, it is linear with respect to (w1 , . . . , wN ). Therefore, μλ (P, L) ≥ 0 holds for any λ satisfying (4.3), if and only if μfk (P, L) ≥ 0 for any k = 1, . . . , N − 1, where fk are given as follows: k

(4.6) By a direct calculation, we have the following: ' ( (k) rank E (k) − V , [φ] . μfk (P, L2 ) = Hy (m) · δ(m) · r

(4.7)

Hence, μfk (P, L) depends only on V (k) . Therefore, we obtain the function F(P,L) on the sets of the non-trivial subspaces {0 = W V }, and P is semistable with respect to L, if and only if F(P,L) (W ) ≥ 0 for any subspace W . Since F(P,L) (W ) is the left hand side of (4.2) multiplied with Hy (m) > 0, we are done.

4.1.3 A Lemma Following Huybrechts-Lehn [62], we show the following lemma. Lemma 4.1.9 Let y be an element of T ype. There exists an integer N4 with the following property: • Let (E∗ , φ) be a δ-semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pair of type y such that φ = 0. Then, the following inequality holds for any integer m ≥ N4 and any subsheaf F ⊂ E:

Here, φ denotes the L-section of F induced by φ. δ δ • If the equality holds in (4.8), (F∗ , φ ) is δ-semistable with P(F = P(E ,φ) . ∗ ,φ ) ∗ • If (E∗ , φ) is δ-stable, the strict inequality holds in (4.8). Proof We have the inequality μ(F ) ≤ μδ (F∗ ) ≤ μδ (E∗ ) for any subsheaf F ⊂ E, and hence μmax (F ) ≤ μ(E∗ ) + (d − 1)!δtop =: C0 . We also have the inequality μmin (F ) ≤ μ(F ) by definition. Hence, we obtain the following inequality by using Proposition 3.4.3 (see [62]): 1 h0 (F (m)) ≤ d−1 rank(F ) g d!

We can take a sufficiently negative number C with the following property: • For any positive integer r < rank(E) and for any sufficiently large t > 0, the following inequalities hold: ( ' 1 1 1 δ(t) d d 1 − (C0 + tg + c) + (C + tg + c) + ≤ Pyα∗ (t). d−1 g d! r r r (4.9) Note that the coefficient of td in both sides are the same by construction, and thus we can take such C. Let N5 be a large number such that C + mg + c > 0 for any m > N5 . Let S be the family of the sheaves F with the following property: • There exists a δ-semistable parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ) of type y with weight α∗ such that F is a saturated subsheaf of E. We divide S into two families by the conditions (i) μ(F ) < C, or (ii) μ(F ) ≥ C. If F is contained in the family (i), then the desired inequality holds for any m ≥ N5 because of our choices of C and N5 . Since the family (ii) is bounded by Proposition 3.4.1, we can take a large number N6 such that the family (ii) satisfies the condition Om for any m ≥ N6 . Then, the desired inequalities hold for any m ≥ N6 , because of δ-semistability of (E∗ , φ). We have only to put N4 := max{N5 , N6 }.

4.1.4 Proof of the Claim 1 in Proposition 4.1.2 Let N1 (y, L, α∗ , δ) be an integer larger than N4 in Lemma 4.1.9 and N0 (y, L, δ) in be a point of Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ). The Proposition 3.4.11. Let q, E(m), F∗ , [φ]

0 reduced L-section [φ] ofE is induced by [φ] and ι. By definition, H (q) gives the 0 isomorphism Vm H X, E(m) . Let W be a subspace of Vm , which generates the subsheaf EW of E(m) via q. By Lemma 4.1.9, we have the following inequality: h0 (EW,∗ ) + EW (−m), φ · δ(m) ≤ Pyδ,α∗ (m). (4.10) rank(EW )

We also have ≤ (EW (−m), φ), dim(W ) ≤ h0 (EW ), dim(W ∩Wi ) ≤ h0 (Fi (EW )). (W, [φ]) Thus, we obtain the following inequality: α1 dim(W ) +

i dim(Wi ∩ W ) ≤ i · h0 (Fi (EW )) = h0 EW ∗ . (4.11) α1 · h0 (EW ) +

is By substituting (4.11) (4.2). Hence, Ψm (q, E(m), F∗ , [φ]) α ,δto (4.10), we obtain ss ∗ contained in Am Py (m), ∗ , δ(m) . Remark 4.1.10 We obtain Proposition 4.1.3 by using the same argument and the second claims in Lemma 4.1.8 and Lemma 4.1.9.

4.1.5 Proof of the Claim 2 of Proposition 4.1.2 Take a discrete valuation ring R over k. We denote the quotient field by K. Assume that we have the following diagram: f

Spec(K) −−−−→ ⏐ ⏐ !

Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ) ⏐ ⏐

(4.12)

We have only to show the existence of a lift Spec(R) −→ Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ). Let XK and XR denote X × Spec K and X × Spec R, respectively. The morphism f gives the tuple (qK , EK∗ (m), [φK ]) of a quotient parabolic sheaf qK , EK∗ (m) and a quotient reduced L-section [φK ] defined over XK . The tuple (qK , EK∗ (m)) satisfies (TFV)-condition. An L-section [φK ] of EK is induced by [φK ] and ι, and the parabolic L-Bradlow pairs (EK ∗ , φK ) with weight α∗ is δ-semistable. As in [134] p. 502–503, EK∗ (m) can be extended to a parabolic torsion-free sheaf ER∗ (m) over XR . The morphism qK can be extended to the morphism qR : Vm ⊗ OXR −→ ER (m) such that the restriction of qR to the closed fiber

is generically surjective. Since Pm is proper, we can extend [φK ] to [φR ] over R. 0 We put WK,i :=.H X ⊗ K, Fi+1 (E(m)) (i = 1, . . . , l) which give subspaces of Vm ⊗ K. Since i Gm,i are proper, we obtain the subbundles WR,i of Vm ⊗ R over Spec R. We put WR,∗ = (WR,i | i = 1, . . . , l). The family qR , ER ∗ , WR ∗ , [φR ] induces a morphism Spec(R) −→ Am (y, [L]) as in (4.1). Since Am (y, [L]) is separated, it coincides with g in the diagram (4.12). Let q0 , E0∗ , W0∗ , [φ0 ] denote the specialization of qR , ER∗ , WR∗ , [φR ] to the φ0 of E0 . The tuple closed point of Spec R. We also have the induced L-section q0 , E0∗ , φ0 , W0∗ , [φ0 ] is a Yokogawa datum such that Ψ q , E 0 0 ∗ , φ0 , W0 ∗ , [φ0 ] ss α∗ ,δ is contained in Am Py (m), ∗ , δ(m) . By Lemma 4.1.8,

q0 , E0∗ , φ0 , W0∗ , [φ0 ] ∈ YOK(m, 0, y, L, δ).

Recall m ≥ N1 (y, L, α∗ , δ) ≥ N0 (y, L, δ), where N0 (y, L, δ) is as in Proposition 3.4.11. Hence, we know (i) q0 is surjective, (ii) E0,∗ (m) satisfies (T F V )-condition, (iii) the parabolic L-Bradlow pair (E0,∗ , φ0 ) is δ-semistable. , E , W , [φ ] gives a map fR : Spec(R) −→ Qss m, y, [L], Therefore, q R R ∗ R∗ R α∗ , δ , whose restriction to Spec(K) is f . It is clear that fR gives the lift of g. Thus the claim 2 of Proposition 4.1.2 is proved.

4.1.6 Complement We give a consequence of the proof. We put V := Vm , Q := Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ) and L := Ly,L (Pyδ,α∗ (m), ∗ , δ(m)). Lemma 4.1.11 Let z = (q, E, F∗ , [φ]) be a point of Q. Let V = V ⊕ V

be a decomposition, and let λ be the one-parameter subgroup of SL(V ) given by

t− rank V · idV ⊕trank V · idV Let E (m) denote the subsheaf generated by V . We have the induced parabolic structure and the L-Bradlow pair φ of E . Then, (E∗ , φ ) is δ-semistable with δ α∗ ,δ , if and only if μλ (z, L) = 0 holds. P(E = Py ∗ ,φ ) Proof Assume μλ (z, L) = 0. We put W := H 0 X, E (m) . We remark V ⊂ W E (m) = EW . and hence E (m) := EV ⊂ EW ⊂E (m). Therefore, 0 0 Let Wi denote the kernel of H X, E(m) −→ H X, Coki+1 (m) . From the calculation in the proof of Lemma 4.1.8, we have the following: 0 = μλ (z, L) = Hy (m) × Pyα∗ ,δ (m) · rank E − (E , φ ) · δ(m) −

i · dim(Wi ∩ W ) − α1 · dim(W ) . (4.13)

h0 (E∗ (m)) + (E , φ) · δ(m) ≤ Pyα∗ ,δ (m) rank E

(4.14)

Here, the first inequality is obtained in (4.11), and the second inequality follows from Lemma 4.1.9. We can conclude that the equality holds in (4.14). Then, (E∗ , φ ) is δ-semistable according to the second claim of Lemma 4.1.9.

We remark λ = fk and V = V (k) in this case. Corollary 4.1.12 Let z = (q, E, F∗ , [φ]) ∈ Q. Let λ be a one parameter subgroup of SL(V ). Let V = Vi be the weight decomposition of λ, i.e., λ preserves the decomposition, and the weight on Vi is i. Let E (i) be the subsheaf of E(m) generated structure by Vj (j ≤ i) via q. We have the induced L-section φi and the parabolic δ of E (i) (−m). Then, all E (i) (−m)∗ , φi are δ-semistable with P(E (i) (−m) ,φ ) = ∗ i δ P(E , if and only if μ (z, L) = 0 holds. λ ,φ) ∗

It is easy to see that Ui . ai λ can be expressed as λi with ai ∈ Q>0 . The condition μλ (z, L) = 0 implies μλi (z, L) = 0. Therefore, the claim immediately follows from Lemma 4.1.11.

4.2 Perturbation of Semistability Condition 4.2.1 Preliminary We continue to use the notation in Subsection 4.1.1. We put V := Vm , Q := Qss (m, y, [L], α∗ , δ) and L := Ly,L (Pyδ,α∗ (m), ∗ , δ(m)). For simplicity, we assume that αi and the coefficients of δ are rational. Take a sufficiently large number k such that L⊗ k is a line bundle on A := Am (y, [L]). For a rational number γ, we put Lγ := L⊗ k ⊗ OPm (γ). Let Ass (Lγ ) (resp. As (Lγ )) denote the set of the semistable (resp. stable) points of A with respect to Lγ .

We put N := dim Vm = Hy (m). Let Flag(V, N ) denote the full flag variety: F∗ = 0 ⊂ F1 ⊂ F2 ⊂ · · · ⊂ FN = V dim Fi /Fi−1 = 1 . (4.15) Let Gl (V ) denote the Grassmann variety of l-dimensional subspaces of V . We have the natural morphism ρl : Flag(V, N ) −→ Gl (V ). Let OGl (V ) (1) denote the canonical polarization of Gl (V ). For a tuple of positive rational numbers n∗ = (n1 , n2 , . . . , nN ), we put as follows: OFlag (n∗ ) :=

We Let Ass (γ, n∗ ) denote the set of the semistable points with respect to L(γ, −1 ss will be interested in the open subset Ψm A (γ, n∗ ) .

4.2.2 δ+ -Semistability and δ− -Semistability Let δ+ and δ− denote elements of P br such that (i) δ− < δ < δ+ , (ii) δ+ and δ− are sufficiently close to δ. The following lemma is clear from Lemma 3.5.8. Lemma 4.2.1 When δ+ (resp. δ− ) is sufficiently close to δ, a parabolic L-Bradlow pair (E∗ , φ) is δ+ -semistable (δ− -semistable) if and only if the following condition holds: • Let us take any partial Jordan-H¨older filtration of (E∗ , φ) with respect to δ-semistability: (p) (1) (1) (2) (2) ⊂ E∗ , φ ⊂ · · · ⊂ E∗ , φ(p) = E∗ , φ . E∗ , φ Then, we have φ(i) = 0 for i < p (resp. φ(1) = 0). Moreover, any δ+ -semistable (resp. δ− -semistable) L-Bradlow pair is also δ+ stable (resp. δ− -stable). ss For κ = ±, we set Qκ := Qss m, y, [L], α∗ , δκ . They are independent of choices of δκ when δκ are sufficiently close to δ according to the previous lemma. We denote the signature of γ by sign(γ). The absolute value of γ is denoted by |γ|.

Proposition 4.2.2 Assume that |γ| is sufficiently small, and that ni are sufficiently −1 ss smaller than |γ|. Then, Ψm A (γ, n∗ ) = Qss sign(γ) × Flag(V, N ). In particular, ss × Flag(V, N ) −→ Ass (γ, n∗ ). Moreover, we obtain the closed immersion Q sign(γ)

the image is contained in As (γ, n∗ ).

Proof Let us begin with the following lemma. Lemma 4.2.3 Assume that the absolute value of γ = 0 is sufficiently small. ss −1 • Ψm A (Lγ ) = Qss sign(γ) . ss • The induced morphism Ψm : Qss sign(γ) −→ A (Lγ ) is a closed immersion. s Moreover, the image is contained in A (Lγ ). Proof Let us show the first claim. Let z := (q, E∗ , φ) ∈ Q. As a preparation, we consider the following two cases: (A) There exists a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration E∗ ⊂ (E∗ , φ) with respect to δ-semistability. (B) There exists a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration (E∗

, φ) ⊂ (E∗ , φ) with respect to δ-semistability. In the case (A), we put V := H 0 X, E (m) , and take a complement V

of V

in V . Let λ(A) be the one parameter subgroup given by

t− rank V idV ⊕ trank V idV . Because μλ(A) (z, L) = 0, we have μλ(A) z, Lγ = γ · μλ z, OPm (1) = γ · rank V . In the case (B), we put V

:= H 0 X, E

(m) , and take a complement V of V

in V . Let us consider the one parameter subgroup λ(B) given by

t− rank V idV ⊕ trank V idV Then, we have

μλ(B) (z, Lγ ) = −γ · rank V

−1 From the above consideration, we easily obtain Ψm (Ass (Lγ )) ⊂ Qss sign(γ) . Let us show the reverse implication. We use the argument in the proof of Lemma 4.1.8. Let u1 , . . . , uN be any base of V . Let (w1 , . . . , wN ) ∈ ZN such that

Let λ be the one parameter subgroup of SL(V ) given by λ(t) · ui = twi · ui . We have μλ (z, Lγ ) = k · μλ (z, L) + γ · μλ z, OPm (1) . As seen in the proof of Lemma 4.1.8, μλ (z, L) is linear with respect to (w1 , . . . , wN ). It is also well

known that μλ z, OPm (1) is linear with respect to (w1, . . . , wN ). (See Lemma 2.2.6, for example.) Therefore, we have only to show μfh z, Lγ > 0 for any h = 1, . . . , N − 1. Let us consider the case μfh z, L > 0. We have k ·μfh z, L ≥ 1 by our choice of k. The absolute value of μfh z,OPm (1) is dominated by dim V . Therefore, if γ is sufficiently small, we have μfh z, Lγ > 0. Let us consider the case μfh (z, L) = 0. Let W denote the subspace of V generated by u1 , . . . , uh . Let EW denote the subsheaf of E(m) generated by W and q. We put φ := φ if the image of φ is contained in EW , and φ := 0 otherwise. Then, (E (−m), φ ) is δ-semistable (Lemma 4.1.11). By the considerations (A) and (B), if (E∗ , φ) is δsign(γ) -semistable, we obtain μfh (z, Lγ ) > 0. Thus, the first claim is proved. In the above argument, we have shown μλ (Ψm (z), Lγ ) > 0 for any point z of ss s ss Qss sign(γ) , and thus Ψm (Qsign(γ) ) ⊂ A (Lγ ). Since Ψm : Q −→ A (L0 ) is proper ss ss (Proposition 4.1.2), the properness of Qsign(γ) −→ A (Lγ ) follows from the first claim. Thus, the proof of Lemma 4.2.3 is finished. Let us return to the proof of Proposition 4.2.2. Let z ∈ Q × Flag(V, N ). Let u1 , . . . , uN be a base of V . Let (w 1 , . . . , wN ) and λ be as in the proof z, OFlag (n∗ ) is linear with respect to of Lemma 4.2.3. By Lemma 2.2.7, μ λ z, L(γ, n μ ) is also linear. Therefore, we have only to show w1 , . . . wN . Hence, λ ∗ μfh z, L(γ, n∗ ) > 0 for any h = 1, . . . , N − 1. We have the decomposition: μfh z, L(γ, n∗ ) = μfh z, Lγ + nh · μfh z, ρ∗j OGj (V ) (1) . j

If we take a large integer k such that L⊗k is a line bundle, then we have γ k ⊗ k μfh z, L⊗ ≥ 1, because μ z, L is a positive integer. On the other hand, fh γ ∗γ 2 μfh z, ρi OGi (V ) (1) is dominated by 2(dim if ni are sufficiently V ) . Therefore, small, the contribution of OFlag (n∗ ) to μfh z, L(γ, n∗ ) is sufficiently small. Thus we are done.

When is larger than N , the (δ, )semistability is equivalent to the δ− -semistability (Remark 3.3.8). Hence, the claim follows from Proposition 4.2.2. Therefore, we will assume < N in the following argument. We take γ and n∗ satisfying the following condition: Condition 4.2.6 Let K0 (y, L, δ) be the number as in Proposition 3.4.11.

Let us show the reverse implication. We use the standard argument as in ss (δ, ). Let the proof of Lemma 4.1.8. Let z = (q, E∗ , φ, F) be a point of Q u1 , . . . , uN be abase of V , and let (w1 , . . . , wN ) be an element of ZN such that subgroup of SL(V ) given by wi ≤ wi+1 and wi = 0. Letλ be the one-parameter n ) is linear with respect to (w1 , . . . , wN ). λ(t) · ui = twi · ui . Then, μλ z, L(γ, ∗ n ) > 0 for any h. Hence, we have only to show μfh z, L(γ, ∗ ⊗k ≥ 1. First, let us consider the case μfh z, L > 0. We have μfh z, L −1 −100 z, O are smaller than 100 · (dim V ) , we have μ (γ) ⊗ Since |γ| and n i fh P −1 we obtain μfh z, L(γ, n∗ ) > 0. Next, let us conOFlag (n∗ ) < 10 . Hence, sider the case μfh z, L = 0. Let E denote the subsheaf of E(m) generated by

Jordan-H¨older filtration as otherwise. Then, E (−m)∗ , φ ⊂ (E ∗ , φ) is a partial in (A) or (B). Therefore, we have μfh z, L(γ, n∗ ) > 0 in this case, too. Hence, the first claim of Proposition 4.2.4 is obtained. Since we have shown that μfh z, L(γ, n∗ ) > 0 for any h, we obtain that the ss (δ, )) is contained in As (γ, n∗ ). Let us show the properness of Ψ : image Ψ(Q ss Q (δ, ) −→ Ass (γ, n∗ ). We use the argument in Subsection 4.1.5. Assume that we have the following diagram:

Let XK and XR denote X × Spec K and X × Spec R respectively. We denote the projection A −→ A by π. Let qK , EK ∗ , [φK ], FK,∗ be the objects on XK corresponding to f . As in Subsection 4.1.5, we obtain the objects (qR , ER ∗ , φR , WR ∗ , [φR ]) on XR . It induces the morphism f1 : Spec R −→ A, which is the same as π ◦ g. We also obtain the Yokogawa datum (q0 , E0 ∗ , φ0 , W0,∗ , [φ0 ]). Since |γ| and ni are sufficiently small, the tuple q0 , E0∗ , φ0 , W0 ∗ , [φ0 ] is contained in the Yokogawa family YOK(N0 , K0 , y, L, δ) for N0 = N0 (y, L, δ) and

We will consider the following two situations: γ1 is a sufficiently small positive rational number, and ni are sufficiently smaller than γ1 . (II) γ1 and n∗ are as in Condition 4.2.6. (I)

In both cases, |γ1 | is assumed to be sufficiently smaller than |γ2 |. We also assume the following: i · ni + |γ2 | ≤ K0 (y, L, δ). (4.16) i

We naturally regard Bi The following lemma is clear by construction. as closed subschemes of B. Lemma 4.3.1 The restriction of OB (1) to Bi is Li . The Q-line bundle OB (1) gives a GL(Vm )-equivariant polarization. THi := Bi × Q and TH∗ := TH − TH1 ∪ TH2 . We put TH := B ×A Q, A We remark that TH∗ is isomorphic to Qss (m, y, L, α∗ , δ) × Flag(V, N ). We also The following lemma is obvious from Proposition 4.2.2, put THss := Bss ×A Q. Proposition 4.2.4 and our choice of the constants. Lemma 4.3.2 • In the case (I), THss ×TH TH1 = Qss + × Flag(V, N ). ss • In the case (II), TH ×TH TH1 = Qss (δ, ). • In both cases, THss ×TH TH2 = Qss − × Flag(V, N ). The quotient stack THss / SL(V ) is called the enhanced master space. In the rest of this section, we will show the following proposition. Proposition 4.3.3 The stack THss / SL(V ) is Deligne-Mumford and proper. According to Corollary 2.2.3, the proposition is obtained from the following three lemmas. Lemma 4.3.4 Let us consider the SL(V )-action on THss . The stabilizer of any point z ∈ THss is finite and reduced. As a result, THss / SL(V ) is DeligneMumford. Lemma 4.3.5 If m is sufficiently large, then the morphism THss −→ Bss is proper. Lemma 4.3.6 The image of THss −→ Bss is contained in Bs .

Let g ∈ SL(V ) be (i) denote the generalized eigen any element such that g · z = z. Let V = V decomposition of g. Correspondingly, we have the decomposition: l (i) (i) (i) (1) q , E∗ , F . q, E∗ , [φ], F = q (1) , E∗ , [φ], F (1) ⊕ i=2

Lemma 4.3.7 l ≤ 2.

Proof Assume l > 2, and we will derive a contradiction. Let us consider the one (3) (2) parameter subgroup λ given by t− rank V idV (2) ⊕ trank V idV (3) . It is easy to see that λ fixes the point z. Since we have μλ (z, L) = μλ z, OPm (1) = 0, we have the following equality: N (2) (3) μλ z, OB (1) = ni · − rank V (3) ·rank Fi +rank V (2) ·rank Fi . (4.17) i=1

By our choice of n∗ , the right hand side of (4.17) can be 0, if and only if the following equality holds for any i: (2)

− rank V (3) · rank Fi

(3)

+ rank V (2) · rank Fi (2)

= 0. (2)

However, there exists a number i0 such that rank Fi0 +1 = rank Fi0 + 1 and (3) (3) rank Fi0 +1 = rank Fi0 . Thus μλ z, OB (1) = 0. Let λ−1 denote the one −1 −1 z, O (t) = λ(t) . Then, one of μ (1) or parameter subgroup given by λ λ B μλ−1 z, OB (1) is negative. Hence, z cannot be semistable. Lemma 4.3.8 Let N be a nilpotent endomorphism of (E∗ , [φ], F). Then N = 0. Proof Assume N = 0, and we will derive a contradiction. There exists the positive integer j such that N j = 0 and N j+1 = 0. It is easy to obtain N (φ) = 0. We obtain the subsheaves Im N j and Ker(N j ) of E. Then, we obtain the naturally induced parabolic L-Bradlow pairs (Im N∗j , φ ) ⊂ (Ker N∗j , φ

) ⊂ (E∗ , φ), which gives the partial Jordan-H¨older filtration with respect to δ-semistability, according to Lemma 3.3.4. We take subspaces Ki (i = 1, 2, 3) of V satisfying the following condition: K1 = H 0 X, Im N j , K1 ⊕ K2 = H 0 X, Ker N j , K1 ⊕ K2 ⊕ K3 = V. We remark that N j induces the isomorphism K3 −→ K1 . From the inclusion K3 K1 ⊂ V , we have the induced filtration FK1 . From the isomorphism V (K1 ⊕ K2 ), the filtration FK3 is induced. We remark N FK3 h ⊂ FK1 h . Let −1 us consider the one-parameter subgroup λ given by K1 ⊕ t idK3 , for which t id wehave μλ (z, L) = μλ z, OPm (1) = 0. Note N FK3 h ⊂ FK1 h for any h, and N FK3 h0 FK1 h0 for some h0 . Hence, we obtain μλ z, OFlag (n∗ ) < 0. Thus, the point z cannot be semistable. From Lemmas 4.3.7 and 4.3.8, we obtain the following lemma. such that z = (q, E∗ , [φ], F, u) ∈ Lemma 4.3.9 Let (q, E∗ , [φ], F) be a point of Q THss ∩ TH∗ . Then, either one of the following holds: 1. The automorphism group of (E∗ , [φ], F) is Gm . 2. There exists the unique decomposition (1) (2) q, E∗ , [φ], F = q (1) , E∗ , [φ(1) ], F (1) ⊕ q (2) , E∗ , F (2) , and the automorphism group of (q, E∗ , [φ], F) is G2m .

Let us finish the proof of Lemma 4.3.4. In the first case in Lemma 4.3.9, the stabilizer of (q, E∗ , [φ], F, u) with respect to the SL(V )-action is trivial. In the second case, we put V (i) := H 0 X, E (i) (m) ⊂ V . Then, the intersection G2m ∩ SL(V ) consists of the elements ρ(t) = ta · idV (1) ⊕tb · idV (2) satisfying a · rank V (1) + b · rank V (2) = 0. By considering the action along the direction of which is given by ρ(t)u = ta · u, we obtain that the stabilizer is the fiber TH /Q, finite.

4.3.3 Proof of Lemma 4.3.5 be a Yokogawa datum. Recall that we obtain the point Let (q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ]) ∈ A := Am (y, [L]). Ψ (q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ]) Lemma 4.3.10 Assume that m is larger than the constant N (y, L, δ) in Proposition , where π 3.4.11. Let z be a point of Bss such that π(z) = Ψ q, E∗ , [φ], W∗ , [φ] denotes the naturally defined projection B −→ A. Then, (E∗ , [φ]) is δ-semistable, q is onto, and the condition Om holds for (E∗ , [φ]). Proof Let W be any subspace of V . Take a complement W of W in V . Consider the one-parameter subgroup of SL(V ) given by t− rank W idW ⊕ trank W idW . We have the following: nj · μλ z, OGl (V ) (1) μλ z, OB (1) = k · k · μλ z, L + k

+ k max γ1 · μλ z, OPm (1) , γ2 · μλ z, OPm (1) . (4.18) The first term in the right hand side is k · k · Hy (m) · P α∗ ,δ (m) · rank EW − i dim(Wi ∩ W )

− α1 dim(W ) − (W, [φ]) · δ(m) .

The absolute of the second term in the right hand side of (4.18) can be domivalue n nated by k i=1 ni ·i·dim V . The absolute value of the third term can be dominated by k · |γ2 | · dim V . Recall dim V = Hy (m). Since we have assumed that |γi | and nj are sufficiently small as in (4.16), we obtain the following inequality: Pyα∗ ,δ (m) · rank EW −

i · dim(Wi ∩ W ) − α1 dim(W ) − (W, [φ]) · δ(m) + K ≥ 0.

Here K = K0 (y, L, δ) denotes the constant in Proposition 3.4.11. Namely, ∈ YOK(m, (q, E∗ , φ, W∗ , [φ]) K, y, L, δ). Therefore, the claim of the lemma follows from Proposition 3.4.11.

Spec K −−−−→ THss ⏐ ⏐ ⏐ ⏐ ! ! g π Spec R −−−−→ Bss −−−−→ A

We can show the composite π ◦ g is contained in Ass (L0 ), by using Lemma 4.3.10. Then, the desired properness follows from the definition of THss .

4.3.4 Proof of Lemma 4.3.6, Step 1 Let us show that the image of THss is contained in Bs . Let z = (q, E∗ , [φ], F, u) be a point of THss . We have only to consider the case u = 0. a base of V , and let (w1 , . . . , wN ) be an element of ZN such Let u1 , . . . , uN be wi = 0. Let λ be the one-parameter subgroup of SL(V ) that wi ≤ wi+1 and given by λ(t)·ui = twi ·ui . We will not distinguish the elements w = (w1 , . . . , wN ) and λ. We have the following decomposition: μλ z, OB (1) = k · k · μλ z, L + k · μλ z, OFlag (n∗ ) + k max γi · μλ z, OPm (1) . i=1,2

Recall that we have the expression λ =

aj · fj for aj ≥ 0, where fj =

*+ , ) j − N, . . . , j − N , j . . . , j . Lemma 4.3.11 If μλ (z, L) = 0, then μfh (z, L) = 0 for any h such that ah = 0. Proof Since (E∗ , [φ]) is δ-semistable, the claim immediately follows. We put S1 := j μfj (z, L) = 0 and S2 := j μfj (z, L) > 0 . Lemma 4.3.12 For any element 0 = ρ = j∈S2 aj · fj with aj ≥ 0, the following holds: k · μρ z, L + μρ z, OFlag (n∗ ) + min γi · μρ z, OPm (1) > 0. i=1,2

Proof We put Fi (ρ) := k · μρ (z, L) + μρ (z, OFlag (n∗ )) + γi · μρ (z, OPm (1)) for i = 1, 2. We have only to show Fi (ρ) > 0. Since Fi are linear with respect to ρ, we have only to show Fi (fj ) > 0 for any j ∈ S2 . We remark k · μfj (z, L) ≥ 1. The number μfj (z, OFlag (n∗ )) is dominated by dim(V ) and ni (i = 1, . . . , N ). The number γi · μfj (z, OPm (1)) is dominated by dim(V ) and γi . Since nj and γi are sufficiently small, the claim is clear.

Lemma 4.3.13 To show μλ z, O (1) > 0 for any λ, we have only to show the B following inequality for 0 = ρ = j∈S1 aj · fj : k · μρ (z, L) + μρ z, OFlag (n∗ ) + max γi · μρ (z, OPm (1)) > 0. i=1,2

Proof We have the decomposition λ = λ(1) + λ(2) , where λ(l) = Assume (4.20) holds for λ(1) . Then, we obtain the following:

j∈Sl

(4.20) aj · fj .

1 z, O μ (1) = k · μ (l) (z, L) + μρ(l) (z, OFlag (n∗ )) ρ ρ B k

l=1,2

+ max γj · μρ(1) (z, OPm (1)) + γj · μρ(2) (z, OPm (1)) j=1,2

≥ k · μρ(1) (z, L) + μρ(1) (z, OFlag (n∗ )) + max γj · μρ(1) (z, OPm (1)) j=1,2

+ k · μρ(2) z, L + μρ(2) z, OFlag (n∗ ) + min γj · μρ(2) z, OPm (1) > 0. j=1,2

Thus we are done.

4.3.5 Proof of Lemma 4.3.6, Step 2 To show (4.20), we give some preliminary consideration. (A) If there exists a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration E∗ ⊂ (E∗ , φ) with respect to δ-semistability, take a decomposition V = V ⊕ V

such that V = H 0 X, E (m) and V = V ⊕ V

. Consider the one parameter subgroup λ given by t− rank V · idV ⊕ trank V ·idV . Then, we have μλ (z, L) = 0, μλ z, OPm (1) = rank V > 0, and the following equality: μλ (z, OFlag (n∗ )) =

nj · − rank V

· dim Fj ∩ V + rank V · dim

Fj . Fj ∩ V

From the semistability of z, we obtain the following: γ1 · rank V +

nj · − rank V

· dim(Fj ∩ V ) + rank V · dim

Fj ≥ 0. Fj ∩ V

(4.21)

We remark that the strict inequality holds in (4.21). In the case (I), it is obvious. In thecase (II), it follows from our choice of n∗ and Lemma 4.2.7. Hence, we obtain μλ z, OB (1) > 0 for λ as above.

(B) If there exists a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration (E∗

) ⊂ (E∗ , φ) with re

that φ = 0, let us take a decomposition V = V ⊕ V

0 such that V = H X, E (m) . Consider the one-parameter subgroup λ given by t− rank V idV ⊕ trank V idV . We have μλ (z, L) = 0, μλ (z, OPm (1)) =

( ≥0 (4.22)

In both cases (I) and (II), the strict inequality holds in (4.22). Hence, we have μλ z, OB (1) > 0 for λ as above. (C) Let us consider the case that there exists a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration E∗ ⊂ (E∗

, φ) ⊂ (E∗ , φ) with respect to δ-semistability. We take a decomposition V = V ⊕V

⊕V

such that V = H 0 (X, E (m)) and V ⊕V

= H 0 (X, E

(m)). Consider the one-parameter subgroup λ given by t− rank V ·idV ⊕ trank V ·idV . Then, we have μλ (z, L) = μλ (z, OPm (1)) = 0. Hence, we obtain the following inequality from semistability of the point z:

' ' nj − rank V

((

4.3.6 Proof of Lemma 4.3.6, Step 3 For ρ = fj ∈S1 aj · fj , let V = Vi be the weight decomposition. We have the number i0 such that φ ∈ Gi0 − Gi0 −1 . We put ri := dim Vi . of U = ρ as an element nWe use the notation in Subsection 2.6.1. We regard

Q · e . Then, we have the expression ρ = a · v such that a ≤ a 2 ≤ i j 1 j i=1

· · · ≤ as and ri · ai = 0.

120

4 Geometric Invariant Theory and Enhanced Master Space

Assume a i0 > 0. Then, we have the following expression by Lemma 2.6.2:

ρ=

b(i1 , i2 ) · x(i1 , i2 ) +

i 0 −1

cj · y(j).

j=1

(i1 ,i2 )∈S(i0 )

Here the coefficients b(i1 , i2 ) and cj are non-negative, and one of b(i1 , i2 ) or cj is positive. We remark that we have the following linearity: i 0 −1 max γi · μρ (z, OPm (1)) = γ1 · cj · μy(j) (z, OPm (1)).

i=1,2

j=1

Hence, the following holds: 0 −1 i μρ z, OB (1) = b(i1 , i2 ) · μx(i1 ,i2 ) z, OB (1) + cj · μy(j) z, OB (1) .

j=1

We have the positivity μx(i1 ,i2 ) z, OB (1) > 0 and μy(j) z,OB (1) > 0 from (C) and (A), respectively. Therefore, we obtain the positivity μρ z, OB (1) > 0. By similar arguments, we can show the desired positivity in the cases a i0 = 0 and a i0 < 0. Thus, the image of THss is contained in Bs . Therefore, we obtain Lemma 4.3.6 and hence Proposition 4.3.3.

4.4 Fixed Point Set of Torus Action on Enhanced Master Space 4.4.1 Preliminary We continue to use the notation in Section 4.3. Let Gm be a one dimensional torus. We have the Gm -action ρ on B = P OPm (0) ⊕ OPm (1) given by ρ(t) · [u1 : u2 ] := [t · u1 : u2 ]. It induces the Gm -action on TH, which is also denoted by ρ. Since it commutes with the SL(V )-action, we obtain the induced action ρ on THss / SL(V ). We would like to argue the fixed point set of the enhanced master space. The stack theoretic fixed point set (see [55]) is given in our case, as follows: We have the SL(V ) × Gm -equivariant closed immersion THss −→ Bs . Therefore, we have an open neighbourhood U of THss / SL(V ) in Bs / SL(V ), which is Gm invariant, Deligne-Mumford and smooth. The embedding THss / SL(V ) −→ U is Gm -equivariant. The fixed point set U Gm of U is defined to be the 0-set of the vector field induced by the Gm -action. Then, the stack theoretic fixed point set (THss / SL(V ))Gm of THss / SL(V ) is defined to be the intersection (THss / SL (V )) ∩ U Gm .

4.4 Fixed Point Set of Torus Action on Enhanced Master Space

121

However, we restrict ourselves to the set theoretic fixed point set in this section. In other words, we will consider only the closed points of the fixed point set, although it is not difficult to look at the stack theoretic fixed point set. We will later argue the stack theoretic fixed point set of the enhanced master space in the oriented case. ss ss Let π be the projection TH −→ TH / SL(V ). We will use the symbol q, E∗ , [φ], F, u to denote a point of TH, where (q, E∗ , [φ], F) denotes a point and u denotes a point of the fiber of TH −→ Q over (q, E∗ , [φ], F). of Q, Lemma 4.4.1 Let z = q, E∗ , [φ], F, u be a point of THss . The point π(z) is contained in the fixed point set, if and only if one of the following holds: 1. z ∈ TH1 ∪ TH2 . 2. We have the unique decomposition: (1)

(2)

(q, E∗ , [φ], F) = (q (1) , E∗ , [φ(1) ], F (1) ) ⊕ (q (2) , E∗ , F (2) ) ss Proof We have only to consider the z ∈ TH ∩ TH∗ . Assume that the con case(i) (i) 0 := H X, E (m) , and we consider the one paramdition 2 holds. We put V (2) (1) eter subgroup λ of SL(V ) given by t− rank V · idV (1) ⊕trank V · idV (2) . It fixes q, E∗ , [φ], F , and it acts non-trivially along the direction of the fiber TH −→ Q, − rank V (2) u. Therefore, the action ρ fixes π(z). as λ(t)u = t Conversely, if π(z) is a fixed point with respect to ρ, then we obtain the oneparameter subgroup of SL(V ) which fixes (q, E∗ , [φ], F) by Lemma 4.3.9. Hence, it has the decomposition. The uniqueness follows from Lemma 4.3.4.

Let z = (q, E∗ , [φ], F) be a point of THss ∩ TH∗ such that π(z) is contained in (THss / SL(V ))Gm . We have the decomposition as in Lemma 4.4.1. Then, we (1) (2) obtain the types y 1 = type(E∗ ) and y 2 = type(E∗ ). We also obtain the decomposition I1 I2 = N := {1, . . . , N }: (j) (j) Ij := i ∈ N Fi /Fi−1 = 0 The datum (y 1 , y 2 , I1 , I2 ) is called the decomposition type of z. In general, we prepare the following definition. Definition 4.4.2 A decomposition type for (m, y, α∗ , δ) is defined to be a datum I := (y 1 , y 2 , I1 , I2 ) as follows: • y = y 1 + y 2 in T ype such that Pyα1∗ ,δ = Pyα∗ ,δ . • N = I1 I2 such that |Ii | = Hyi (m). The set of such decomposition types is denoted by Dec(m, y, α∗ , δ).

We remark that the condition Om -holds for Mss (y 1 , L, α∗ , δ) and Mss (y 2 , α∗ ) for a decomposition type (y 1 , y 2 , I1 , I2 ), if Mss (y 1 , L, α∗ , δ)×Mss (y 2 , α∗ ) = ∅.

122

4 Geometric Invariant Theory and Enhanced Master Space

4.4.2 Statements Let I := (y 1 , y 2 , I1 , I2 ) ∈ Dec(m, y, α∗ , δ). We take a decomposition V = V (1) ⊕ V (2) such that dim V (i) = Hyi (m). We put P(i) := P(V (i)∨ ). Then, we put Q(1) := Qss m, y 1 , [L], α∗ , δ and Q(2) := Qss (m, y 2 , α∗ ). For i = 1, 2, we set @ ? (i) filtration indexed by N , (i) (i) . Flag(V , Ii ) := F∗ dim GrF = 1 (j ∈ Ii ), or = 0 (j ∈ Ii ) j It is also denoted by Flag(i) for short. Clearly, Flag(i) are isomorphic to the full flag varieties of V (i) . We put (i) := Q(1) × Flag(i) , Q

split (I) := Q (1) × Q (2) . Q

split (I) −→ Q. We set Then, we have the naturally defined morphism Q split (I), THsplit (I) := TH ×Q Q

split (I) TH∗split (I) := TH∗ ×Q Q

split (I). THi,split (I) := THi ×Q Q We have the naturally defined closed immersion ι : THsplit (I) −→ TH. (1) (2) Let z = (q1 , E∗ , [φ], F (1) ), (q2 , E∗ , F (2) ), u be a point of THsplit (I). Let min(I2 ) denote the minimum of I2 . We will prove the following lemma in Subsection 4.4.5. Lemma 4.4.3 In the case (II) (see Subsection 4.3.1), if ι(z) is contained in THss , then min(I2 ) > holds. (2)

(2)

(2)

(2)

We set Fmin := Fmin(I2 ) . We remark Fmin −1 = 0 and dim Fmin = 1. We also (2) (2) remark that the pair E∗ , Fmin can be regarded as a reduced OX (−m)-Bradlow pair on X. We will prove the following proposition. Proposition 4.4.4 ι(z) is contained in THss , if and only if the following conditions hold: • z ∈ TH∗split (I). (2) (2) • E∗ , Fmin is an -semistable reduced O(−m)-Bradlow pair for any sufficiently small > 0. (1) • (E∗ , [φ], F (1) ) is δ, min(I2 ) − 1 -semistable.

4.4.3 Step 1 Let G1 denote the subgroup of GL(V (1) ) × GL(V (2) ) determined by det(g) = 1, i.e., G1 := {(g1 , g2 ) ∈ GL(V (1) ) × GL(V (2) ) | det(g1 ) · det(g2 ) = 1}.

Lemma 4.4.5 The following two conditions are equivalent: • μλ ι(z), OB (1) ≥ 0 for any one parameter subgroup λ of SL(V ). • μλ ι(z), OB (1) ≥ 0 for any one parameter subgroup λ of G1 . Proof The first condition clearly implies the second condition. Let us show the reverse implication. Assume the second condition holds. Let λ : Gm −→ SL(V ) be a one-parameter subgroup.We have the decomposition λ = λ(1) + λ(2) such that μλ(1) z, L = 0 and μλ(2) z, L > 0. By the same argument as that employed in the proof of Lemma 4.3.13, we have only to show the following inequalities: k · μλ(1) (z, L) + max γj · μλ(1) (z, OP (1)) + μλ(1) (z, OFlag (n∗ )) > 0 (4.24) j=1,2

k · μλ(2) (z, L) + min γj · μλ(2) (z, OP (1)) + μλ(2) (z, OFlag (n∗ )) > 0 (4.25) j=1,2

Since ni and γj are sufficiently small, we can show that the inequality (4.25) always holds by the same argument as the proof of Lemma 4.3.12. So we may and will assume μλ (z, L) = 0. Let V = i Vi denote the weight decomposition of λ. We put Gj := i≤j Vi . We have the number i0 determined by φ ∈ Gi0 − Gi0 −1 . We have only to show the following: Fj ∩ Gi nj i · dim ≥ 0. max γj · i0 + j=1,2 F j ∩ Gi−1 j i We put H0 := V (1) and H1 := V , which give the filtration of V . We have the natural identification GrH (V ) V . Since F is compatible with the decomposition V = V (1) ⊕ V (2) , the induced filtration by F is the same as F. Let G denote the induced filtration by G on GrH (V ) V : Gi ∩ V (1) := Gi ∩ V (1) ,

Gi ∩ V (2) :=

Gi , Gi ∩ V (1)

Gi := Gi ∩ V (1) ⊕ Gi ∩ V (2) .

Because φ ∈ V (1) , we have φ ∈ Gi 0 − Gi 0 −1 . (a) Let us take any decomposition V (a) = Ki (a = 1, 2) such that Gj ∩ V (a) = (a) (1) (2) i≤j Ki . We put Ki := Ki ⊕Ki . Then, we obtain the one parameter subgroup Ki . λ of G1 whose weight decomposition is Lemma 4.4.6 We have μλ z, L = 0. Proof Let Ei (m) denote the subsheaf of E(m) generated by Gi . Each Ei has the induced parabolic structure and the reduced L-section [φi ]. Then, the filtration · · · ⊂ (Ei ∗ , [φi ]) ⊂ (Ei+1 ∗ , [φi+1 ]) ⊂ · · · is a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration by Corollary 4.1.12. Let us consider the filtration H of E given by H0 := E (1) and H1 := E. and the reduced L-section On GrH (Ei ), we have the induced parabolic structure [GrH (φi )]. Then, the tuple GrH (Ei )∗ , GrH (φi ) is δ-semistable.

124

4 Geometric Invariant Theory and Enhanced Master Space

We have the canonical isomorphism GrH (E) E. We regard GrH (Ei )(m) as the subsheaf of E(m), and then Gi generates GrH (Ei )(m). Thus, we obtain μλ (z, L) = 0 from Corollary 4.1.12. Let us return to the proof of Lemma 4.4.5. Since we have assumed the second condition in the lemma, μλ z, OB (1) ≥ 0 holds. Then, we obtain the following inequality from Lemma 4.4.6: Fj ∩ Gi

max γj · i0 + nj i · dim ≥ 0.

j=1,2 Fj ∩ Gi−1 j i Hence, we have only to show the following inequality:

i · dim

i

Fj ∩ Gi

Fj ∩ Gi ≤ i · dim .

Fj ∩ Gi−1 F j ∩ Gi−1 i

We put M := max{i | V (i) = 0}, and we put H := Fj . Then, we have the following equalities:

i · dim

H ∩ Gi H ∩ Gi = i · dim H ∩ Gi−1 H ∩ Gi−1 i≤M = i · dim(H ∩ Gi ) − (i + 1) dim H ∩ Gi i≤M

i≤M −1

= dim H · M −

dim H ∩ Gi .

i≤M −1

Hence, we have only to show dim H ∩ Gi ≤ dim H ∩ Gi for each i. But we have the equality H ∩ Gi ∩ V (1) = H ∩ Gi ∩ V (1) and the following inclusion: H ∩ Gi ⊂ H ∩ Gi ∩ V (2) . H ∩ Gi ∩ V (1) Thus, we obtain the desired inequality, and Lemma 4.4.5 is proved.

4.4.4 Step 2 We give some preliminary consideration. (2) (2) (O1) Assume that there exists a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration E1 ∗ ⊂ E2 ∗ . We (2) (2) (2) (2) take a decomposition V (2) = V1 ⊕ V2 such that V1 = H 0 X, E1 (m) . Let (2)

(2)

λ be the one parameter subgroup given by t− rank V2 idV (2) ⊕ trank V1 idV (2) . In 1 2 the case, we have the following:

(4.26) Since nmin(I2 ) is sufficiently larger than nj (j > min(I2 )), (4.26) is larger than 0, (2) (2) if and only if Fmin(I2 ) ∩ V1 = {0}. We also remark that (4.26) cannot be 0. In particular, we obtain the following: Lemma 4.4.7 If ι(z) is contained in Bss , then the reduced O(−m)-Bradlow pair (2)

(E∗ , Fmin ) is -stable for any sufficiently small number > 0.

Let πi denote the projection of THsplit (I) onto THsplit (I) ∩ THi . Let us consider the points zi := π i (z) which are fixed with respect to λ. We have μλ (zi , L) = 0 for i = 1, 2, and μλ z2 , OPm (γ2 ) = γ2 · rank V (2) . Since nj are sufficiently smaller z μ , O (1) < 0. than |γ2 |, we always have the inequality λ 2 B Let us consider the condition μλ z1 , OB (1) ≥ 0. It is equivalent to the following inequality: (4.27) μλ z1 , OPm (γ1 ) + μλ z1 , OFlag (n∗ ) ≥ 0. In the case (I), we have γ1 > 0, and ni are sufficiently smaller than γ1 . Hence, the inequality (4.27) always holds. More strongly, the strict inequality holds. In the case (II), the inequality (4.27) can be rewritten as follows: γ1 rank V (2) + ' ' ni dim(Fi ∩ V (1) ) rank V (2) − dim i

The inequality (4.28) is equivalent to the condition F ⊂ V (1) , by our choice of γ1 and n∗ . Moreover, if the inequality holds, the strict inequality holds by our choice of n∗ . in Bss, we have Now, we give a proof of Lemma 4.4.3. If ι(z) is contained μλ z, OB (1) ≥ 0 for λ as above. Therefore, we obtain μλ z1 , OB (1) ≥ 0, and hence F ⊂ V (1) . It means min(I2 ) > . Thus, Lemma 4.4.3 is proved.

4.4.6 Step 4 We put k := min(I2 ) in the following argument. We give some more preliminary considerations. (1) (1) (O3) Assume there exists a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration E1 ∗ ⊂ (E∗ , φ) with (1) (1) respect to δ-semistability. We take a decomposition V (1) = V1 ⊕ V2 such that (1) (1) V1 = H 0 X, E1 (m) , and we consider the one-parameter subgroup λ given (1) (2) by t− rank V idV (1) ⊕ trank V1 idV (2) . We have μλ (z, L) = μλ z, OPm (1) = 0 1 for such one parameter subgroups. Therefore, the condition μλ z, OB (1) ≥ 0 is equivalent to the following inequality: 0 ≤ μλ z, OFlag (n∗ ) (1) (1) (1) (2) + rank V1 · dim Fi ni · − rank V (2) · dim Fi ∩ V1 = i

Recall that ni are sufficiently smaller than ni−1 . Hence, the inequality (4.29) holds, (1) (1) (1) (1) if and only if Fk−1 ∩ V1 = Fk ∩ V1 = {0}. (O4) Assume that there exists a partial Jordan-H¨older filtration (1)

Because μλ (z, L) = μλ z, OPm (1) = 0, 1 the condition μλ z, OB (1) ≥ 0 is equivalent to the following:

(4.30) Since ni is sufficiently smaller than ni−1 , the inequality (4.30) holds if and only if (1) (1) Fk−1 ⊂ V2 . We obtain the following claim from the above preliminary considerations. Lemma 4.4.8 If ι(z) is contained in Bss , the parabolic reduced O(−m)-Bradlow (1) pair (E∗ , φ, F (1) ) is δ, min(I2 ) − 1 -semistable.

4.4.7 End of the Proof of Proposition 4.4.4 When ι(z) is contained in Bss , it is easy to see z ∈ TH∗split (I).

We use the argument in Section 2.7. Let T (n) denote the trivial line bundle on M1 × M2 with the T1 -action of weight n. It induces the T1 -line bundle π ∗ T (n) over M1 ×M2 . Taking the descent, we obtain the line bundle In over M1 /T1 × M2 . We put O1,rel (1/r2 ) := I1 . According to Lemma 2.7.1, it satisfies O1,rel (1/r2 )r2 G∗ O1,rel (1).

We can argue the transition of moduli stacks Mss (y, L, α∗ , δ) for variation of δ1 . For simplicity, we restrict ourselves to the case that both δi are sufficiently small. Recall the results in Subsection 3.5.3. Then, a 2-stability condition is always satisfied, and the problem is simple as in Subsection 4.7.1. We give only the statements without proof.

Obstruction Theories of Moduli Stacks and Master Spaces

Let X be a smooth connected projective surface with a base point over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. Let D be a smooth hypersurface of X. In this chapter, we study obstruction theories of moduli stacks of some kinds of stable objects on X with parabolic structure along D. The naive strategy for construction was explained in Subsection 2.4.2. We will also discuss obstruction theories for master spaces. In Section 5.1, we study an obstruction theory associated to a torsion-free sheaf E on U × X, where X is a smooth projective surface. We put g(V• ) := Hom(V• , V• )∨ [−1], Ob(V• ) := RpX ∗ g(V• ) ⊗ ωX for a resolution V• of E. In Subsection 5.1.1, we explain how to obtain the morphisms g(V• ) −→ LU ×X/X and Ob(V• ) −→ LU . In Subsection 5.1.2, we observe that g(V• ) is decomposed into the trace-free part and the diagonal part, and that the diagonal part is related to the determinant bundle. In Subsection 5.1.3, we give some factorization which will be useful for construction of obstruction theories of master spaces. In Subsection 5.1.4, we give an obstruction theory of the open subset of a moduli stack of torsion-free sheaves determined by the condition Om , by directly applying the construction in Subsection 5.1.1. As a special case, we look at an obstruction theory of the moduli of line bundles in Subsection 5.1.5, which will be used in the construction of a relative obstruction theory for orientations in Section 5.2. In Section 5.3, we study a relative obstruction theory for L-sections. In Subsections 5.3.1–5.3.2, we construct a complex with a morphism, and show its relative obstruction property. See also Subsection 5.3.5 for another construction, which might be useful for simplification. In Subsection 5.3.3, we give a factorization which will be useful to construct obstruction theories of master spaces. In Section 5.4, we argue a relative obstruction theory for reduced L-sections. We need some modification to the construction in Section 5.3. In Section 5.5, we study a relative obstruction theory for parabolic structures. By pulling them together, we can construct obstruction theories of moduli stacks considered in this monograph, which is explained in Section 5.6. T.

5 Obstruction Theories of Moduli Stacks and Master Spaces

Then, we construct obstruction theories of master spaces in Section 5.7. Once we have factorizations as in Subsections 5.1.3, 5.3.3 and 5.4.3, the construction is easy. We also obtain obstruction theories for some related stacks. In Subsections 5.7.6–5.7.7, we give only the statements in some easier cases for explanation. In Section 5.8, we investigate obstruction theories of the fixed point sets. In Section 5.9, we study equivariant obstruction theories of master spaces and the induced obstruction theory of the fixed point sets.

5.1 Deformation of Torsion-Free Sheaves 5.1.1 Construction of a Basic Complex Let U be any algebraic stack over k, and let E be a torsion-free U -coherent sheaf defined over U × X. Assume that we are given a locally free resolution V• = (V−1 → V0 ) of E on U × X, i.e., Vi are locally free sheaves of finite ranks, and we have a surjection V0 −→ E whose kernel is V−1 . The inclusion V−1 ⊂ V0 is denoted by f . We put as follows (see Subsection 2.1.5): g(V• ) := Hom(V• , V• )∨ [−1] Let W−1 and W0 be vector spaces over k such that rank Wi = rank Vi . We denote Wi ⊗ OX by Wi X . We put GL(W• ) := GL(W−1 ) × GL(W0 ). We have the natural right GL(W• )-action on the vector bundle N (W−1 X , W0 X ) (see Subsection 2.1.2) given by (g−1 , g0 ) · a = g0−1 ◦ a ◦ g−1 . Here gi ∈ GL(Wi ) and a ∈ N (W−1 X , W0 X ). The quotient stack is denoted by Y (W• ). Then, we obtain the classifying map Φ(V• ) : U × X −→ Y (W• ) over X associated to V• , which induces the morphism Φ(V• )∗ LY (W• )/X −→ LU ×X/X . As explained in Example 2.2, Φ(V• )∗ LY (W• )/X is represented by the complex g(V• )≤1 . We have the naturally defined morphism g(V• ) −→ g(V• )≤1 . Hence, we obtain a morphism g(V• ) −→ LU ×X/X . Let ωX denote the dualizing complex of X, and we set Ob(V• ) := RpX ∗ g(V• ) ⊗ ωX . Then, we have the naturally defined morphism ob(V• ) : Ob(V• ) −→ LU .

Lemma 5.1.1 The object Ob(V• ) and the morphism ob(V• ) depend only on E in the derived category D(U ), in the sense that they are independent of the choice of a resolution V• . Proof It is standard that g(V• ) depends only on E in the derived category D(U×X). (1) Hence, Ob(V• ) depends only on E in D(U ). Let V• be another resolution. We (1) would like to compare the two morphisms ob(V• ) and ob(V• ) in the derived category D(U ). We set (2)

(2)

We have the naturally defined homomorphisms GL (Wi ) −→ GL(Wi ) and (2) GL (Wi ) −→ GL(Wi ). Hence, we have the following morphisms: (2)

If E is a vector bundle of rank R, we may take V0 = E and V−1 = 0. In this case, the construction can be reworded as follows: We have the classifying map Φ(E) : U × X −→ XGL(R) associated to E. It induces an isomorphism: Hom(E, E) Φ(E)∗ LXGL(R)/X −→ LU ×X/X We set Ob(E) := RpX ∗ Hom(E, E) ⊗ ωX . Then, we obtain a morphism ob(E) : Ob(E) −→ LU/k .

Proof The composite of the following naturally defined morphisms is an isomorphism: RpX ∗ Hom(V0 , V0 ) → Hom(V−1 , V0 ) ⊗ ωX −→ RpX ∗ Hom(V0 , V0 ) ⊗ ωX −→ Hom(V , V ) (5.7) Then, the claim of the lemma immediately follows.

5.1.4 Basic Complex on the Moduli Stack M(m, y) Let y ∈ H ∗ (X) be a Chern character of a coherent sheaf on X. Let H := Hy denote the polynomial associated to y. We take an H(m)-dimensional vector space Vm . We have the scheme Q◦ (m, y). (See Subsection 3.6.2.) We consider the universal quotient q u : p∗Q◦ (m,y) Vm,X −→ E u (m) defined over Q◦ (m, y) × X. We set V0u := p∗Q◦ (m,y) Vm,X ,

u V−1 := ker V0u −→ E u (m) .

u The inclusion V−1 −→ V0u is denoted by f u . We put

V := Vm ⊗ OQ◦ (m,y) = pX ∗ V0u . We have the morphism π : Q◦ (m, y) −→ M(m, y) := Q◦ (m, y)/GL(Vm ). The latter is an open subset of a moduli stack of torsion-free sheaves of type y, determined by the condition Om . The descent of E u , V• and V with respect to the GL(Vm )-action are denoted by E u , V• and V . The sheaf E u has the universal property. We put W0 := Vm , and we take a vector space W−1 such that dim W−1 = H(m) − rank(y). Applying the result in Subsection 5.1.1, we obtain a complex Ob(V• ) with a morphism ob(V• ) : Ob(V• ) −→ LM(m,y)/k . We obviously have π ∗ Ob(V• ) = Ob(V•u ).

where the first term stands at the degree 0. Under the identification, the morphism ϕ is induced by the identity of Hom(V0u , V0u ). Then, it is easy to check that RpX∗ (k(V• )) and LQ◦ (m,y)/M(m,y) are quasi-isomorphic to their 0-th cohomology sheaves Hom(V , V ), and that the morphism ϕ in the diagram is an isomorphism as in Lemma 5.1.2. Corollary 5.1.4 ob(V• ) gives an obstruction theory for M(m, y).

We also use the symbols Ob(m, y) and ob(m, y) to denote Ob(V• ) and ob(V• ).

5.1.5 Line Bundles Let Poin denote the Poincar´e bundle on Pic ×X. We have the classifying map Φ(Poin) : Pic ×X −→ XGm associated to Poin. We put g(Poin) := Φ(Poin)∗ LXGm /X , Ob(Poin) := RpX ∗ g(Poin) ⊗ ωX . We obtain a morphism ob(Poin) : Ob(Poin) −→ LPic on Pic. Because g(Poin) O[−1], we have an isomorphism in the derived category D(Pic): Ob(Poin) H 0 (X, O)∨ ⊗ OPic [−1] ⊕ H 1 (X, O)∨ ⊗ OPic [0] ⊕ H 2 (X, O)∨ ⊗ OPic [1]

The composite of the morphisms τ≤−2 Obrel (V• , ρ) [−1] −→ Ob(V• ) −→ LU1 is trivial.

5.2.2 Relative Obstruction Property For any U -scheme g : T −→ U , let F1 (T ) denote the set of orientations of g ∗ E. Then, we obtain the functor F1 of the category of U -schemes to the category of sets. The functor F1 is representable by Or(E)∗ . (See Subsection 3.1.1 for the orientation bundle Or(E).) Let π denote the projection Or(E)∗ −→ U . On Or(E)∗ × X, we have the universal orientation ρu of π ∗ E. From the resolution V• and the orientation ρu , we obtain a morphism: obrel (V• , ρu ) : Obrel (V• , ρu ) −→ LOr(E)∗ /U Lemma 5.2.3 The morphism obrel (V• , ρu ) gives a relative obstruction theory for Or(E)∗ over U .

Let ∂L P• := P−1 −→ P0 L be a locally free resolution,where P 0 stands in the degree 0. We have the natural right GL(W• )-action on N Pi , Wj given by (g−1 , g0 ) · f = gj−1 ◦ f . It induces GL(W• )-actions on the varieties N P−1 , W0 X , X, N (W−1 X , W0 X ) ×X N (P0 , W0 X ) ×X N (P−1 , W−1 X ). The quotient stacks are denoted by Y0 (W• , P• ), Y1 (W• , P• ), and Y2 (W• , P• ), respectively. We have the equivariant map h : N (W−1 X , W0 X )×X N (P−1 , W−1 X )×X N (P0 , W0 X ) −→ N (P−1 , W0 X ) given by h(f, a−1 , a0 ) = f ◦ a−1 − a0 ◦ ∂L . Since ∂L|x is injective for any point x ∈ X, the map h is smooth. It induces a smooth morphism of Y2 (W• , P• ) to Y0 (W• , P• ). We also have the morphism Y1 (W• , P• ) −→ Y0 (W• , P• ) induced by the 0-section X −→ N (P−1 , W0,X ). We denote the fiber product Y1 ×Y0 Y2 by Y (W• , P• ). Let F2 : U2 −→ U be an algebraic stack over U . Assume that we are given an L-section φ : p∗U2 (L) −→ F2∗X (E), and a morphism of complexes φ• = (φ−1 , φ0 ) : p∗U2 (P• ) −→ F2∗X (V• )

(i = 1, 2).

Since Y2 (W• , P• ) −→ Y0 (W• , P• ) is smooth, Φ(V• , φ• )∗ LY (W• ,P• )/X is isomorphic to the cone of the induced morphism Φ0 (V• , φ• )∗ LY0 (W• ,P• )/X −→ Φi (V• , φ• )∗ LYi (W• ,P• )/X . i=1,2

Since the complex C1 represents Φ(V• , φ• )∗ LY (W• ,P• )/Y (W• ) , we have the obstruction class h X ) ∈ Ext1 h∗X C1 , JX . o(

hX ,

By the functoriality, o(h, h ) is mapped to o(

hX ,

h X ) in the diagram (5.18). Hence, hX is extendable to a morphism φ o(h, h ) = 0 implies that

h1,X : T × X −→ Y (W• , P• ), which is a lift of

h X . Hence, we obtain an L-section of h X∗ E. Then, we obtain an extension of h to a morphism h1 : T −→ U which is a lift of h , by the universal property of M (L). Thus, the condition (A1) is checked. The condition (A2) can also be checked easily, and the proof of Lemma 5.3.3 is finished.

Lemma 5.4.3 The diagram (5.24) depends only on (E, [φ]). Proof By an argument in the proof of Lemma 5.3.2, we can show that the diagram (5.22) is independent of the choice of (V• , [P• ], [φ• ]). Then, the diagram (5.24) is also independent.

5.4.2 Relative Obstruction Property For any U -scheme g : T −→ U , let F(T ) denote the set of reduced L-sections ∗ E, which are non-trivial everywhere. Thus, we obtain the functor F of the of gX category of U -schemes to the category of sets. It is representable by a U -scheme M [L]. Let π : M [L] −→ U denote the projection. We have the line bundle I on ∗ E over M [L], and the universal reduced L-section [φu ] : p∗X I ⊗ p∗M [L] L −→ πX M [L] × X. Assume that we have a locally free resolution P• of L for which we ∗ V• of [φu ].

The quotient stack is denoted by YD (W• ). Similarly, we have the natural right (h+1) (h) GL(W (h) ) × GL(W (h+1) )-action on N (WD , WD ) given by (g (h) , g (h+1) ) · f = (g (h) )−1 ◦ f ◦ g (h+1) . (h+1) .l+1 .l (h) We obtain a right h=1 GL(W (h) )-action on h=1 N WD , WD , where the latter fiber product is taken over D. The quotient stack is denoted by YD (W• , W ∗ ). Composition of the morphisms induces the map l

(h+1) (h) N WD , WD −→ N (W−1 D , W0 D ).

h=1

It induces the morphism YD (W• , W ∗ ) −→ YD (W• ). We have the classifying map ΦD (V• , F∗ ) : U4 × D −→ YD (W• , W ∗ ) over D associated to the tuple VD∗ . We also have the classifying map Φ(V•|D ) : U × D −→ YD (W• ) associated to V•|D . Thus, we obtain the following diagram on U4 × D: LU4 ×D/D ⏐ ⏐ ∗ F4,D LU ×D/D

←−−−− ΦD (V• , F∗ )∗ LYD (W• ,W ∗ )/D ⏐ ⏐ ∗ ←−−−− Φ F4∗D (V•|D ) LYD (W• )/D .

We use the notation in Subsection 2.1.6. We put gD (V• , F∗ ) := C1 (VD∗ , VD∗ )∨ [−1],

grel (V• , F∗ ) := C2 (VD∗ , VD∗ )∨ [−1].

We also put g(V•|D ) := Hom(V•|D , V•|D )∨ [−1]. We have the morphism γD : g(V•|D ) −→ gD (V• , F∗ ) induced by ϕ given in (2.3). It is easy to see that grel (V• , F∗ ) is quasi-isomorphic to Cone(γD ). By using an argument explained in Subsection 2.3.2, we can show that ΦD (V• , F∗ )∗ LYD (W• ,W ∗ )/D ,

and Φ(V•|D )∗ LYD (W• )/D

are represented by gD (V• , F∗ )≤1 and g(V•|D )≤1 . Under the identification, the natural morphism ΦD (V• , F∗ )∗ LYD (W• ,W ∗ )/D −→ Φ(V• | D )∗ LYD (W• )/D is given by the restriction γD≤1 . We obtain the following commutative diagram: g(V•|D ) ⏐ ⏐ γD !

We have the following exact sequence of complexes on U4 × X: 0 −→ g(V• ) ⊗ ωX −→ g(V• ) ⊗ ωX (D) −→ g(V•|D ) ⊗ ωD [1] −→ 0. Thus, we obtain a morphism RpD ∗ g(V•|D ) ⊗ ωD −→ RpX ∗ g(V• ) ⊗ ωX , that is, η : Ob(V•|D ) −→ Ob(V• ). Recall we have the morphism ob(V• ) : Ob(V• ) −→ F4∗ LU . Hence, we obtain the composite ob(V• ) ◦ η : Ob(V•|D ) −→ F4∗ LU . On the other hand, we have the morphism ob(V•|D ) : Ob(V•|D ) −→ F4∗ LU in the diagram (5.32). Lemma 5.5.1 Two morphisms ob(V• )◦η and ob(V• | D ) are the same in the derived category. ∗ LU ×D/D is the restriction of Proof It is easy to observe that g(V•|D ) −→ F4,D ∗ g(V• ) −→ F4,X LU ×X/X to U4 × D. Then, the coincidence ob(V• ) ◦ η = ob(V•|D ) follows from the compatibility of of the trace maps for the dualizing complexes ωX and ωD . (See [1], for example).

The following lemma can be shown by using filtered objects as in the proof of Lemma 5.1.1. Lemma 5.5.2 The diagram (5.33) depends only on E, F∗ (E) .

5.5.2 Relative Obstruction Property For any U -scheme g : T −→ U , let F(T ) denote the set of the parabolic structure ∗ E of a fixed type. Thus, we obtain the functor F of the category of U -schemes of gX to the category of sets. We can show that F is representable by a U -scheme M by using quot schemes. Let π : M −→ U denote the projection. On M × X, we have the universal ∗ E. From the resolution V• and F∗u , we obtain a comparabolic structure F∗u of πX u plex Obrel (V• , F∗ ) with a morphism obrel (V• , F∗u ) : Obrel (V• , F∗u ) −→ LM/U . Lemma 5.5.3 obrel (V• , F∗u ) gives an obstruction theory of M over U . Proof It follows from Lemma 2.4.17. Note that grel (V• , F∗u ) is naturally isomorphic to the complex considered there.

5.5.3 Decomposition into the Trace-Free Part and the Diagonal Part We use the setting in Subsection 5.5.1. Lemma 5.5.4 The morphism Obrel (V, F∗ )[−1] −→ Ob(V• ) factors through the trace free part Ob◦ (V• ). Proof We have the trace map tr : gD (V• , F∗ ) −→ OD [−1] given as follows: l+1

(i)

(i)

Hom(VD , VD ) −→ O,

(fi ) −→

We also have the map i : OD [−1] −→ gD (V, F∗ ) given as follows: O −→

l+1

(i)

Hom(VD , VD ),

t −→ (t · idV (1) , 0, . . . , 0, −t · idV (l+1) ).

i=1

We put g◦D (V• , F∗ ) := Ker(tr) and gdD (V• , F∗ ) := Im(i). We also have the decomposition g(V•|D ) = g◦ (V•|D ) ⊕ gd (V•|D ) as in Subsection 5.1.2. We have the following commutative diagrams:

Therefore, the decomposition is compatible with g(V•|D ) −→ gD (V• , F∗ ). It follows from grel (V• , F∗ )[−1] −→ g(V•|D ) factors through g◦ (V•|D ). Therefore, Obrel (V, F∗ )[−1] −→ Ob(V•|D ) factors through Ob◦ (V•|D ). It is easy to see that the morphism Ob(V•|D ) −→ Ob(V• ) is compatible with the decomposition into the trace-free part and the diagonal part. Thus we are done. As an immediate corollary, we obtain the decomposition of the cone: Cone Obrel (V• , F∗ ) −→ Ob(V• ) Cone Obrel (V• , F∗ ) −→ Ob◦ (V• ) ⊕ Obdrel (V• ) (5.34)

5.6 Obstruction Theory for Moduli Stacks of Stable Objects 5.6.1 Relative Complexes Let y be an element of H ∗ (X). Let y be an element of T ype whose H ∗ (X)component is y. Let M(m, y) be the open subset of M(y) determined by the condition Om . We have the natural morphism p1 : M(m, y) −→ M(m, y). On M(m, y) × X, we have the universal sheaf p∗1 X E u over M(m, y) × X with the parabolic structure F∗u at D. Applying the construction in Subsection 5.5.1 to the resolution V• of E u (m) and the parabolic structure F∗u , we obtain a complex Obrel (V• , F∗u ) with a morphism: obrel (m, y) : Obrel (m, y) −→ LM(m,y)/M(m,y) Let M(m, y, L) denote the open subset of M(y, L) determined by the condition Om . The natural morphism M(m, y, L) −→ M(m, y) is denoted by p2 . We have the universal L-section φu of p∗2 X E u . It induces the L(m)-section of p∗2 X E u (m), which is also denoted by φu . We fix an inclusion ι : O(−m) −→ L. If m is sufficiently large, we may assume that L(m) has a locally free resolution P• = (P−1 → P0 ) such that P0 is a direct sum of some OX . Since we have the isomorphism pX ∗ E u (m) pX ∗ (V0 ), the L(m)-section φu is canonically lifted to the morphism φu• : p∗M(m,y,L) P• −→ p∗2 X V• . Then, we obtain a complex Obrel (m, y, L) with a morphism by applying the construction in Subsection 5.3.1: obrel (m, y, L) : Obrel (m, y, L) −→ LM(m,y,L)/M(m,y)

Let M(m, y, [L]) denote the open subset of M(y, [L]) determined by the condition Om . The natural morphism M(m, y, [L]) −→ M(m, y) is denoted by p3 . Then, we have the universal reduced L-section [φu ] of p∗3 X E u over M(m, y, [L]) × X. As before, we obtain a complex Obrel m, y, [L] with a morphism, by using the construction in Subsection 5.4.1: obrel m, y, [L] : Obrel m, y, [L] −→ LM(m,y,[L])/M(m,y) . Let M(m, y ) denote the open subset of M(

y ) determined by the condition Om . The natural morphism M(m, y ) −→ M(m, y) is denoted by p4 . Then, we have the universal orientation ρu of p∗4 X E u over M(m, y ) × X. From the resolution V• and the orientation ρu , we obtain a complex Obrel (m, y ) with a morphism by using the construction in Subsection 5.2.1: obrel (m, y ) : Obrel (m, y ) −→ LM(m, y)/M(m,y) .

We set B (W• , [P• ]) := (Pm )GL(Vm ) . It is an open substack of B(W• , [P• ]) in Subsection 5.4.3, Let us fix an inclusion ι : O(−m) −→ L.

Virtual Fundamental Classes

We have constructed obstruction theories of some stacks in Chapter 5. Under some assumption, they are perfect and give virtual fundamental classes. We will study their property in this chapter. In Section 6.1, we obtain virtual fundamental classes for some stacks, by showing the perfectness of the obstruction theories. We compare the virtual fundamental classes of moduli stacks of δ-stable oriented reduced L-Bradlow pairs and δ-stable L-Bradlow pairs in Section 6.2. Although the moduli stacks are isomorphic up to e´ tale proper morphisms, the obstruction theories are not the same in general, and we obtain the vanishing of the virtual fundamental class of the moduli of δ-stable L-Bradlow pairs in the case pg = dim H 2 (X, OX ) > 0. In Section 6.3, we study the virtual fundamental classes of moduli stacks of objects with rank one. In Subsection 6.3.1, we look at a moduli of L-abelian pairs. In particular, we give a detailed description of the virtual fundamental class when H 2 (X, O) = 0 and H 1 (X, O) = 0 are satisfied. In Subsection 6.3.3, we study the obstruction theory of parabolic Hilbert schemes. In the rest of this section, we show the splitting stated in Proposition 6.3.8. In Sections 6.4–6.6, we give some relations of the virtual fundamental classes of some moduli stacks.

We use the notation in Section 5.6. We will prove the following propositions in Subsection 6.1.4 after some preparation (Subsection 6.1.3). The expected dimensions can be calculated formally, which will be given in Subsection 6.1.5.

Let F∗ be a quasi-parabolic structure of E at D. We have the complexes g(V•|D ) and gD (V• , F∗ ) with the natural morphism gD (V• , F∗ ) −→ g(V•|D ) on D. (See Subsection 5.5.1.) Let g∨ (V•|D ) and g∨ D (V• , F∗ ) denote the dual complexes as OD complexes. We have the natural morphism C(E) −→ g∨ (V• )|D = g∨ (V•|D ). ∨ Thus, we obtain the morphism α : C(E) ⊕ g∨ D (V• , F∗ ) −→ g (V•|D ), and we set C(E, F∗ ) := Cone(α)[−1]. As explained in Subsection 5.5.3, we have the decompositions g(V•|D ) = g◦ (V•|D ) ⊕ gd (V•|D ) and gD (V• , F∗ ) = g◦D (V• , F∗ ) ⊕ gdD (V• , F∗ ). We have the corresponding decomposition C(E, F∗ ) = C ◦ (E, F∗ ) ⊕ C d (E, F∗ ). It is easy to see C d (E, F∗ ) = C d (E). Lemma 6.1.14 The hyper-cohomology group Hi X, C ◦ (E, F∗ ) vanishes unless i = −1, 0, 1. If (E, F∗ ) is stable with respect to some system of weights α∗ , we also have H−1 (X, C ◦ (E, F∗ )) = 0. Proof The i-th cohomology sheaf Hi C ◦ (V• , F∗ ) vanishes unless −2 ≤ i ≤ 1 ◦ −1 by construction. It is easy to see that the morphisms C ◦ (E)−2 −→ ◦ C (E) and ◦∨ −2 ◦∨ −1 −2 gD (V• , F∗ ) −→ gD (V• , F∗ ) are injective, and hence H C (E, F∗) = 0. Since C ◦ (E)1 −→ g◦∨ (V•|D )1 is surjective, we have H1 C ◦ (E, F∗ ) = 0. LetU ⊂ X − D be a Zariski open subset on which E is locally free. Then, H0 C ◦ (E, F∗ ) |U = 0. Therefore, the support of the sheaf H0 C ◦ (E, F∗ ) is at most 1-dimensional.

Then, we obtain the vanishing Hi X, C ◦ (E, F∗) unless i = −1, 0, 1 by using the spectral sequence. It is easy to show that H−1 X, C ◦ (E, F∗ ) is the set of ento be stable with domorphisms of (E, F∗ ) whose trace is 0.If (E, F∗ ) is assumed respect to some weight α∗ , we obtain H−1 X, C ◦ (E, F∗ ) = 0. Let us consider the rank one case. Lemma 6.1.15 Let (E, F∗ ) be as above, with rank(E) = 1. Then, we have the vanishings Hi X, C ◦ (E, F∗ ) = 0 unless i = 0. Proof Let x be a point of X satisfying one of the following conditions: • x is contained in X − D, and E is locally free around x. • x is contained in D, E is locally free around x as OX -module, and Coki (E) are locally free around x as OD -modules. Around such a point, we can compute the cohomology sheaves of C ◦ (E, F∗ ) in the case V0 = E and V−1 = 0. Hence, it is easy to check C ◦ (E, F∗ ) 0 around such a point. We know Hi C ◦ (E, F∗ ) = 0 unless i = −1, 0, as explained in the proof of Lemma 6.1.14. By the above consideration, we know that the supports of Hi C ◦ (E, F∗ ) are at most 0-dimensional. Hence, we obtain Hi X, C ◦ (E, F∗ ) = 0 unless (E, F∗ ) is always stable in the case rank(E) = 1, we have i = −1, 0. Since H−1 X, C ◦ (E, F∗ ) = 0. Thus we are done. Let L be a line bundle on X. Let φ be an L-section of E. We take a locally free resolution P• = (P−1 −→ P0 ) of the line bundle L so that we have a lift φ• : P• −→ V• of φ. Let g∨ rel (V• , φ• ) denote the dual of grel (V• , φ• ) = Hom(P• , V• )∨ . Let C(E) −→ g∨ rel (V• , φ• )[1] be the morphism induced by the natural one grel (V• , φ• )[−1] −→ g(V ). It induces the morphisms: αL : C(E, F∗ ) −→ g∨ rel (V• , φ• )[1],

◦ αL : C ◦ (E, F∗ ) −→ g∨ rel (V• , φ• )[1]

◦ We put C(E, F∗ , φ) := Cone(αL )[−1] and C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ) := Cone(αL )[−1]. It ◦ is easy to see that C(E, F∗ , φ) and C (E, F∗ , φ) are well defined in the derived category D(X).

Assume φ = 0. Then, the hyperLemma 6.1.16 Let (E,F∗ , φ) be as above. cohomology groups Hi X, C(E, F∗ , φ) vanish unless i = −1, 0, 1. If moreover (E, F∗ , φ) is (α∗ , δ)-stable for some δ ∈ P br and some system of weights α∗ , then we have H−1 X, C(E, F∗ , φ) = 0. Proof We have Hi C(E, F∗ , φ) = 0 unless −2 ≤ i ≤ 1 by construction. The vanishing H−2 C(E, F∗ , φ) = 0 can be shown by an argument employed in the proof of Lemma 6.1.14. Since the morphism Hom(P0 , V0 ) −→ Hom(P−1 , V0 ) 1 C(E, F∗ , φ) = 0. It is easy to show the is surjective, weobtain the vanishing H vanishing of H0 C(E, F∗ , φ) around any point x ∈ X−D with φ(x) = 0 such that E is locally free around x. Therefore, the support of H0 C(E, F∗ , φ) is at most 1

dimensional. Then, we obtain Hi X, C(E, F∗ , φ) = 0 unless i = −1, 0, 1 by using the spectral sequence. Since H−1 X, C(E, F∗ , φ) is the set of endomorphisms of (E, F∗ , φ), we obtain H−1 X, C(E, F∗ , φ) = 0 from the stability assumption of (E, F∗ , φ). Lemma 6.1.17 Let (E, F∗, φ) be as above. We assume φ = 0 and rank(E) > 1. Then, Hi X, C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ) vanish unless i = −1, 0, 1. Proof The i-th cohomology sheaf Hi C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ) vanish unless −2 ≤ i ≤ 1 by construction. The vanishings Hj C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ) for j = −2, 1 can be shown by the argument employed in the proof of Lemma 6.1.16. Let x be a point of X − D with φ(x) = 0 such that E is locally free around x. Under our assumption rank(E) > 1, we can easily check the vanishing H0 C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ) = 0 around such a point x. Thus, the claim can be shown by using the spectral sequence. Let us consider the rank one case. Lemma 6.1.18 Let (E, F∗, φ) be as above. = 0 and rank(E) We assume φ = 1. Moreover, we assume H 2 X, L−1 ⊗ E = 0. Then, Hi X, C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ) vanish unless i = 0, 1. Proof We have the following distinguished triangle: ◦ ◦ ∨ g∨ rel (V, φ• ) −→ C (E, F∗ , φ) −→ C (E, F∗ ) −→ grel (V, φ• )[1]

Hence, we obtain the following long exact sequence: · · · −→ H i X, L−1 ⊗ E −→ Hi X, C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ) −→ Hi X, C(E, F∗ ) −→ H i+1 X, L−1 ⊗ E −→ · · · Then, the claim follows from the assumption and Lemma 6.1.15.

Let L = (L1 , L2 ) be a pair of line bundles on X. Let φj be Lj -sections of E. (j) (j) By taking appropriate resolutions P• of Lj and lifts φj• : P• −→ V• of φj , we ◦ obtain the complexes C(E, F∗ , φ1 , φ2 ) and C (E, F∗ , φ1 , φ2 ) as above. They are well defined in the derived category D(X). ⊗ E = 0 and Lemma 6.1.19 Assume H 2 X, L−1 2 φj = 0 for j = 1, 2. We also assume rank(E) > 1. Then, we have Hi X, C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ1 , φ2 ) = 0 unless i = −1, 0, 1. If (E, F∗ , φ1 , φ2 ) is (α∗ , δ1 , δ2 )-stable, then we also have H−1 X, C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ1 , φ2 ) = 0. Proof We have the exact sequence: 0 −→ Hom P (2) , V• −→ C(E, F∗ , φ1 , φ2 ) −→ C(E, F∗ , φ1 ) −→ 0 Then, the claims can be reduced to Lemma 6.1.16 and Lemma 6.1.17.

Thanks to (6.1), we have only to show that C1 and C2 are perfect of amplitude in [−1, 1]. It is easy to see that C1 is isomorphic to H 1 (X, O)∨ ⊗ O[0]. To check the claim for C2 , wehave only to consider i∗z C2 as in the proof of Lemma 6.1.20. The dual of Hi i∗z C2 are isomorphic to H−i X, C ◦ (E, F∗ , φ) . Thus, the claim for C2 follows from Lemma 6.1.17. Therefore, we obtain the first claim of the lemma.

The second and third claims can be shown by using Lemma 6.1.18 and the argument in the proof of Lemma 6.1.21. Proposition 6.1.4 can be shown by using Lemma 6.1.19 and the argument in the proof of Lemma 6.1.21.

6.1.5 Expected Dimension We put pg := dim H 2 (X, O), and let χ(OX ) denote the Euler number of OX . It is easy to obtain the formulas of the expected dimension in the non-parabolic case. Let y be an element of H ev (X). The H 2i (X)-component of y is denoted by yi . We put 2 y1 − 2y0 · y2 ) − y02 · χ(OX ). d(y) := X

For a line bundle L, we set drel (y, L) :=

ch(L−1 ) · y · Td(X)

X

Proposition 6.1.22 For moduli of non-parabolic objects, the expected dimensions are as follows: • • • •

dimf M(

y ) = d(y) + 1 + pg . dimf M(y, L, δ) = d(y) + drel (y, L). y , L, δ) = d(y) + 1 + pg + drel (y, L). dimf M(

dimf M(

y , [L], δ) = d(y) + pg + drel (y, L).

Proof Let us consider the first case. For y ), ∈ M(

the virtual tanany (E, ρ) gent space is K-theoretically given by i (−1)i Hi X, C ◦ (E) + H 1 (X, OX ). The Euler number can be easily calculated, and it is given by d(y) + χ(OX ) + dim H 1 (X, OX ) = d(y) + 1 + pg . The second and third cases can be argued similarly. Let p denote the natural morphism M(

y , L, δ) −→ M(

y , [L], δ). We have the distinguished triangle LM(m, y,L)/M(m, y,[L]) [−1] −→ p∗ Ob(m, y , [L]) −→ Ob(m, y , L) −→ LM(m, y,L)/M(m, y,[L]) on M(m, y, L). Then, the fourth claim follows from the third claim. The contribution of the parabolic structure can also be calculated formally. Let y = (y, y1 , y2 , . . . , yl ) ∈T ype. In this case, yi can be regarded as elements of H ev (D). We decompose j≤i yj = si + wi , where si ∈ H 0 (D) and wi ∈ H 2 (D).

Since the stability condition is trivial, we omit to distinguish “s”, α∗ and δ. Proposition 6.2.3 Let y be an element of T ype such that rank(y) = 1.

6.3 Rank One Case 6.3.1 Moduli of L-Abelian Pairs Let L be a line bundle on X. An L-Bradlow pair (E, φ) is called an L-abelian pair, if E is a line bundle. Similarly, a reduced L-Bradlow pair (E, [φ]) is called a reduced L-abelian pair, if E is a line bundle. Let c ∈ H 2 (X). We denote by M (c, L) c, [L]) a moduli of L-abelian pairs (E, φ) such that c1 (E) = c. We denote by M (

a moduli of oriented reduced L-abelian pairs (E, [φ], ρ) such that c1 (E) = c. Both of them are schemes, and they are naturally isomorphic. The natural projection M (c, L) −→ Pic(c) is a projectivization of a cone over Pic(c).

6.3 Rank One Case

225

The universal object on M (

c, [L]) × X is denoted by (L u , [φu ]). The line bundle L is the pull back of the Poincar´e bundle on Pic(c) × X. The universal object on M (c, L) × X is denoted by (Lu , φu ). We have the relation Lu = L u ⊗ O rel (1). The obstruction theories of M (c, L) and M (

c , [L]) are denoted by Ob M (c, L) and Ob M (

c, [L]) respectively. They are not equivalent in general. By Proposition 6.1.1, Ob M (c, L) is always perfect. On the other hand, Ob M (

c, [L]) is not perfect in the case pg > 0, if H 2 X, L−1 ⊗ L = 0 for some (L, φ) ∈ M (c, L) with φ = 0. In the case H 1 (X, OX ) = 0, we have a simple description of the moduli of abelian pairs. For simplicity, we work on the complex number field. Let c ∈ H 2 (X, Z) be of (1, 1)-type, and let L be a line bundle on X such that c1 (L) = c. By the assumption H 1 (X, OX ) = 0, any line bundle L with c1 (L ) is isomorphic to L. Hence, the moduli M (c, L) is isomorphic to the projective space P H 0 (X, L−1 ⊗ L)∨ . Since the moduli is smooth, the obstruction theory of M (c, L) is given by the obstruction bundle O(c, L), and the virtual fundamental class is the Euler class of O(c, L). The vector bundle O(c, L) is obtained as follows: We have the universal sheaf Lu = L ⊗ Orel (1) and the universal L-section φ : p∗M (c,L) L −→ Lu over M (c, L) × X. We have the cokernel sheaf C := Cok(φ) ⊗ L−1 . Then, the sheaves pX∗ (C) and R1 pX∗ (C) are locally free OM (c,L) -modules. The vector bundle pX ∗ (C) gives the tangent bundle of the moduli, and R1 pX ∗ (C) gives the obstruction bundle O(c, L). The virtual fundamental class is given by the Euler class Eu(O(c, L)) ∩ [M (c, L)]0 , where [M (c, L)]0 is the ordinary fundamental class of the smooth variety M (c, L). Let d(c, L) denote the dimension of the smooth variety M (c, L), which is equal to dim H 0 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) − 1. Let χ(L−1 ⊗ L) denote the Euler number of L−1 ⊗ L.

Proof Since we have assumed H 1 (X, OX ) = 0, the obstruction bundle O(c, L) sits in the following exact sequence on M (c, L): 0 −→ H 1 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) ⊗ Orel (1) −→ O(c, L) −→ H 2 (X, O) ⊗ OM (c,L) −→ H 2 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) ⊗ Orel (1) −→ 0 Thus, the total Chern class of the vector bundle O(c, L) is dim H 1 (X,L−1 ⊗L)−dim H 2 (X,L−1 ⊗L) 1 + c1 (Orel (1)) . Note that the rank of O(c, L) is dim H 1 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) − dim H 2 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) + pg . Thus, if dim H 1 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) − dim H 2 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) ≥ 0, the Euler class of O(c, L) is 0 by our assumption pg > 0. This contradicts with our assumption that the virtual fundamental class is not 0. Therefore, −e := dim H 1 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) − dim H 2 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) < 0 In particular, H 2 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) = 0. −e d(c,L) in the polynomial 1 + c1 (Orel (1)) is The coefficient of c1 (Orel(1)) not 0. Hence, the rank of O c must be d(c, L) = dim H 0 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) − 1. Therefore, we obtain χ(OX ) = χ(L−1 ⊗ L), and the expected dimension of the moduli is 0. By a formal calculation, we obtain (6.4). Since M (c, L) = ∅, we have H 0 (X,L−1 ⊗ L) = 0. We have already seen 2 H (X, L−1 ⊗ L) = 0, which implies H 0 X, L ⊗ L−1 ⊗ KX = 0 by Serre duality. Here, KX denote the canonical bundle of X. Note that the following naturally induced rational morphism is injective: ∨ ∨ −→ P H 0 X, KX P H 0 (X, L−1 ⊗ L)∨ × P H 0 X, L ⊗ L−1 ⊗ KX It implies dim H 0 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) + dim H 2 (X, L−1 ⊗ L) ≤ 1 + pg From (6.5) and χ(OX ) = χ(L ⊗ L−1 ), we obtain H 1 X, L−1 ⊗ L = 0.

Remark 6.3.2 The computation of SW(c, L) was essentially done by Friedman and Morgan in [38]. We continue to assume H 1 (X, OX ) = 0. Let L be a line bundle such that c, [L]), assumc1 (L) = c. Let us consider the virtual fundamental class of M (

6.3.2 Involutivity and Relation with Seiberg-Witten Invariants Let us give some more complement on the numbers SW(c, L), assuming that X is a smooth simply connected complex projective surface. Since we consider only the case L = OX , we omit to distinguish L, i.e., SW(c, L) is denoted by SW(c). Proposition 6.3.4 We have the involutive relation: SW(c) = (−1)pg −1 SW −c + c1 (KX ) Proof Let L denote a holomorphic line bundle such that c1 (L) = c. By using H 1 (X, L) = 0, χ L = χ(OX ) and Serre duality, we obtain the following equality: dim H 0 (X, L) + dim H 0 X, L−1 ⊗ KX = pg + 1 Then, we obtain the desired equality by a direct computation.

We recall the relation between the numbers SW(c) and the Seiberg-Witten invariants of X. Let ω denote the first Chern class of a polarization OX (1) of X. We will not distinguish ω and a Kahler form representing ω, and we regard (X, ω) as a Kahler manifold. Take a ∈ H 2 (X, Z), and let Q be a C ∞ -line bundle on X such that c1 (Q) = a. Assume that Q is the determinant bundle of some Spinc -structure ξ. Let SW(a) denote the Seiberg-Witten invariant associated to ξ. (See [130]. See also [21].) If a is not of (1, 1)-type, then the associated Seiberg-Witten equation has no solution, and hence SW(a) = 0. Assume a is of (1, 1)-type, and we take an essentially unique holomorphic structure of Q. Let J be the intersection product ω · a. For simplicity, we assume J = 0. It is satisfied if ω is general. Let L be a holomorphic line bundle such that L2 Q ⊗ KX . Let c := c1 (L) = c1 (Q) + c1 (KX ) /2. Proposition 6.3.5 (Friedman-Morgan) We have the relation SW(a) = SW(c).

Proof Let M SW (a) denote the moduli space of solutions of the associated SeibergWitten equation associated to ξ. According to Witten [130], it is known that M SW (Q) is naturally isomorphic to M (c, O) in the case J < 0. Both of the moduli spaces are equipped with the obstruction theories, and they are equivalent according to the result of Friedman and Morgan [38]. Hence, we obtain SW(a) = SW(c) in the case J < 0. Let us consider the case J > 0. Recall the relation SW(−a) = (−1)1+pg SW(a). −1 (See Corollary 6.8.4 of [95], for example.) Because of (L ⊗ KX )2 Q−1 ⊗ = SW −c + c1 (KX ) . Then, KX and the result for J < 0, we obtain SW(−a) SW(a) = SW(c) follows from Proposition 6.3.4.

6.3.3 Parabolic Hilbert Schemes Let y be an element of T ype such that rank(y) = 1. We assume that the first Chern class of y is trivial. Then, let X [y] denote a moduli of oriented parabolic sheaves E∗ of rank one such that det(E) = OX . In other words, X [y] denotes a moduli space of ideal sheaves of 0-dimensional schemes with parabolic structure of an appropriate type. We call X [y] a parabolic Hilbert scheme of type y. The universal sheaf I u over X [y] × X can be regarded as the ideal sheaf of the relatively 0-dimensional scheme Z(y). The relative length is given by −y2 , where y2 denotes the H 4 (X)-component of y. Proposition 6.3.6 When D is smooth, the parabolic Hilbert scheme is smooth. The expected dimension is equal to the ordinary dimension. y ) −→ Pic. Hence, the claim Proof X [y] is the fiber of the smooth morphism M(

follows from the first claim of Proposition 6.1.3. Thanks to Proposition 6.3.6, we have the natural obstruction theory of X [y] . But, we give another expression of the obstruction theory of X [y] for later use. We use the notation in Section 5.5. Let V• = (V−1 → V0 ) be a locally free resolution of the universal sheaf E over X [y] × X. We take vector spaces Wi such that rank Wi = rank Vi . We set SGL(W• ) := (g−1 , g0 ) ∈ GL(W• ), det(g−1 ) det(g0 ) = 1 . We put Y (W• ) := N (W−1 X , W0 X )SGL(W• ) . Then, we have the classifying map: Φ(E) : X [y] × X −→ Y (W• ) It induces the morphism Φ(E)∗ LY (W• )/X −→ LX [y] ×X/X on X [y] × X. We can show that Φ(E)∗ LY (W• )/X is represented by g◦ (V• )≤1 . Therefore, we obtain a morphism g◦ (V• ) −→ LX [y] ×X/X , which induces a morphism on X [y]

We have the naturally defined .l .l right action of i=2 GL(W (i) ) × SGL(W• ) on i=1 N W (i+1) , W (i) . The quotient stack is denoted by Y D (W• , W ∗ ). We have the naturally defined morphism π : Y D (W• , W ∗ ) −→ Y D (W• ). We have the classifying morphisms: Φ(V•|D ) : X [y] × D −→ Y D (W• ) ΦD (V•|D , VD∗ ) : X [y] × D −→ Y D (W• , W ∗ ) Because π ◦ ΦD (V•|D , V ∗ ) = Φ(V•|D ), we obtain the morphisms on X [y] × D: Φ(V•|D )∗ LY D (W• )/D −→ ΦD (V•|D , VD∗ )∗ LY D (W• ,W ∗ )/D −→ LX [y] ×D/D It is easy to observe that ΦD (V•|D , VD∗ )∗ LY D (W• ,W ∗ )/D and Φ(V•|D )∗ LY D (W• )/D are represented by g◦D (V• , F∗ )≤1 and g◦ (V•|D )≤1 . Thus, we obtain the morphisms on X [y] × D: g◦ (V•|D ) −→ g◦D (V• , F∗ ) −→ LX [y] ×D/D On X [y] , we set Ob◦D (y) := RpD ∗ g◦D (V• , F∗ ) ⊗ ωD ,

Let c denote the H 2 (X)-component of y, and y(−c) := y ·exp(−c). We have the universal line bundle Lc on M (c, L)×X. We also have the structure sheaf OZ(y(−c)) of the universal subscheme Z(y(−c)) ⊂ X [y(−c)] × X. We use the same symbols to denote the pull back of them via the projection M (c, L) × X [y(−c)] × X onto M (c, L) × X and X [y(−c)] × X. We put K := Luc ⊗ L−1 ⊗ OZ(y(−c)) . It is easy to see that V := pX ∗ K is a locally free sheaf on M (c, L) × X [y(−c)] . We have the naturally induced morphism pX ∗ (Luc ⊗ L−1 ) −→ V.

Therefore, we have only to consider Eu(V) ∩ [p] × [X [y(−c)] ] . Moreover, we can replace V with |{p}×X [y(−c)] . Then, we obtain the formula (6.7). V|{p}×X [y(−c)] = V

6.3.5 Morphism to Moduli of Abelian Pairs We use the notation in Subsection 5.3.1. We would like to obtain a diagram similar to (5.3) from an L-Bradlow pair (E, φ) in the case rank(E) = 1. Since E is contained For simplicity, in det(E), the morphism φ : L −→ det(E) is naturally induced. assume that U is connected. Then, c := c1 det(E)|{u}×X is independent of the choice of u ∈ U .

Proof Let us begin with a general non-sense. Let V0 and V−1 be locally free sheaves on a stack Z with a morphism f : V−1 −→ V0 . Assume rank V0 − rank V−1 = 1. Let v1 , . . . , vl be a local frame of V−1 , and put ω := v1 ∧ · · · ∧ vl which is a local section of det(V−1 ). For a local section u of V0 , we put Λf (u) := u ∧ f(ω) ⊗ ω −1

which is a local section of det(V• ) = det(V0 ) ⊗ det(V−1 )−1 . It is easy to see Λf (u) is independent of the choice of a frame v1 , . . . , vl . Therefore, we obtain a morphism Λf : V0 −→ det(V• ). It is easy to see Λf ◦ f = 0. Hence, we have the morphism of the complexes Cone(f) −→ det(V• ). f

Applying the above construction to V−1 −→ V0 , we obtain a morphism Λf : V• −→ det(V• ) det(E). We also obtain the morphism Λf ◦ φ0 : P0 −→ det(E). Because Λf ◦ φ0 (P−1 ) = 0, it naturally induces a morphism L −→ det(E), which is the same as φ . We put ∨ grel := Hom P• , det(V• ) . A morphism grel [−1] −→ O[−1] is naturally induced by Λf ◦ φ0 . The cone is denoted by g det(V• ), φ . It is convenient to make a minor change in the construction of Ob(V• , φ• ). We have the natural right GL(W• )-action on N (W−1 X , W0 X ) × N (P−1 , W0 X ). The quotient stack is denoted by Y0 (W• , P• ). And we set Y1 (W• , P• ) := Y (W• ),

Y2 (W• , P• ) := Y2 (W• , P• ),

Y (W• , P• ) := Y1 (W• , P• ) ×Y0 (W• ,P• ) Y2 (W• , P• ). We have the natural morphisms Yi (W• , P• ) −→ Yi (W• , P• ), which induce the isomorphism Y (W• , P• ) Y (W• , P• ). : U2 × X −→ Y (W• , P• ) and From (V• , φ• ), we have the classifying map Φ i : U2 × X −→ Yi (W• , P• ). In the construction of Subsection the induced maps Φ ∗ L 5.3.1, we can replace Φ(V• , φ• )∗ LY (W• ,P• )/X with Φ Y (W• ,P• )/X . on det(W ) by multiplication, which induces Gm We have the action of G m • actions on N Pi , det(W• X ) (i = 0, 1).

Let Z(W• , P• ) denote the fiber product Z1 (W• , P• )×Z0 (W• ,P• ) Z2 (W• , P• ), which is isomorphic to N (L, det(W• X ))Gm . From the section Λf ◦ φ0 : P0 −→ det(V• ), we obtain the classifying map Ψ : U2 × X −→ Z(W• , P• ) and the induced maps Ψi : U2 × X −→ Zi (W• , P• ) (i = 0, 1, 2). We have the morphism Γ2 : N (W−1X , W0X )×N (P−1 , W−1X )×N (P0 , W0X ) −→ N P0 , det(W•X ) given by Γ2 (e, a−1 , a0 ) := Λe ◦ a0 . We have the morphism GL(W• ) −→ Gm given by (g−1 , g0 ) −→ det(g−1 )−1 · det(g0 ). Then, Γ2 is equivariant with respect to the actions of GL(W• ) and Gm . Thus, we obtain a morphism Γ2 : Y2 (W• , P• ) −→ Z2 (W• , P• ).

Similarly, we have the equivariant morphism Γ0 : N (W−1X , W0X ) × N (P−1 , W0 ) −→ N P−1 , det(W• X ) given by Γ0 (e, a) = Λe ◦ a, which induces Γ0 : Y0 (W• , P• ) −→ Z0 (W• , P• ). We also have the obvious map Γ1 : Y1 (W• , P• ) −→ Z1 (W• , P• ). By construction, i = Ψi for i = 0, 1, 2.

It is the same as the inclusion given in Subsection 6.3.4. Let Ob(y, L) denote the obstruction theory of M(y, L).

From the diagram (6.12), we obtain a morphism ν : j ∗ LM (c,L)×X [y(−c)] /V −→ LM(y,L)/M (c,L) . Lemma 6.3.17 ν is the same as the morphism obtained from the diagram (6.6). In particular, the obstruction theories of M (c, L) × X [y(−c)] and M(y, L) are compatible over the morphism i. ∗ u ∨ Proof We set M0 := M (c, L) × X [y(−c)] .

6.4.4 Ambient Smooth Stack Since B is not necessarily smooth, we shall construct an ambient smooth stack to use Proposition 2.4.8. Let C ⊂ X denote the support of Cok. Recall that C is smooth and that Cok is isomorphic to a line bundle LC on C, by our choice of ι. For a k-scheme T , let F (T ) denote the set of quotients q : p∗T Vm,C −→ E over T × C, satisfying the following conditions: • E isflat over T , and the type of E is y|C · ch(LC ). • H 1 C, E|{u}×C = 0 for any point u ∈ T . We obtain a functor F of the category of k-schemes to the category of sets. The functor F is representable by a scheme Q◦1 . Lemma 6.4.9 The scheme Q◦1 is smooth.

We have the exact sequence: Ext1 Vm,C , E −→ Ext1 K, E −→ Ext2 E, E We have the vanishing of the first term by definition of Q◦1 . Since C is a smooth curve, we also have the vanishing of the third term. Therefore, we obtain the desired vanishing, and hence Q◦1 is smooth. We have the universal quotient sheaf p∗Q◦ Vm,C −→ C on Q◦1 × C. The push1 forward pC ∗ C gives the vector bundle on Q◦1 , which is denoted by V1 . We use the notation in Subsection 4.1.1. We set

6.6.2 Construction of a Stack B with an Obstruction Theory Let m be a sufficiently large integer. Let E u denote the universal sheaf on M(m, y ). We put V0 := p∗X pX ∗ E u (m), and the kernel of the natural morphism V0 −→ E u (m) is denoted by V−1 . We obtain the vector bundle V0 | D on M(m, y ) × D. Let g : T −→ M(m, y ) be a morphism. Let F (T ) denote the set of sequences ∗ V0 | D = Cl+1 → Cl → Cl−1 → · · · → C2 → C1 satisfying the of the quotients gD following conditions: • Ci are flat over T . • The induced morphisms H 0 D, Cl+1 | {u}×D −→ H 0 D, Ci | {u}×D are surjective for any i = 1, . . . , l and any point u ∈ T . • H 1 D, Ci | {u}×D = 0 for any u ∈ T and for any i = 1, . . . , l. • The type of Ci is j≤i yj (m). Then, F gives the functor of the category of M(m, y )-schemes to the category of sets. The functor is representable by an M(m, y )-scheme, which is denoted by B.

Proposition 6.6.5 The morphism Obrel (B) −→ LB/M(m, y) gives a relative obstruction theory of B over M(m, y ). The complex Obrel (B) is quasi-isomorphic to its 0-th cohomology sheaf.

Recall that VD is a direct sum of OD , and hence we have the vanishing of the first term in (6.32). Since the divisor D is smooth, we have the vanishing of the third term in (6.32). Therefore, we obtain the desired vanishing. From Lemma 6.6.6, we can easily obtain the vanishing of Hi D, Q unless i = 0. Thus, the proof of Proposition 6.6.5 is finished. As a result, Ob(B) −→ LB is an obstruction theory of B, and the morphism B −→ M(m, y ) is smooth.

Invariants

We construct our invariants, and study their transitions. For simplicity, the ground field is assumed to be the complex number field C in this chapter. Let H ∗ (A) and H∗ (A) denote the singular cohomology and homology groups of a topological space A with Q-coefficient. They are naturally Z/2Z-graded. Let X be a smooth connected complex projective surface with a base point, and let D be a smooth hypersurface of X. We denote the Picard variety of X by Pic. We often use the natural identification H 4 (X) = Q. The intersection product of a, b ∈ H 2 (X) is denoted by a · b. In Section 7.1, we explain a way of evaluation for our argument. In Section 7.2, we show transition formulas in simpler cases. By using them, we construct our invariants in Section 7.3. They are also sufficiently useful for the transition problems in the rank 2 case, which we study in Section 7.4. In Section 7.5, we give transition formulas for the case pg = dim H 2 (X, OX )! > 0. They are formally the same as those in the simpler case. In Section 7.6, we study transition formulas for the case pg = 0. By using it, we obtain a weak wall crossing formula in Section 7.7. We write down the weak wall crossing formula and a weak intersection rounding formula for the rank 3 case in Subsection 7.7.3–7.7.4. We also give a transition formula for variation of parabolic weights in Subsection 7.7.5. In Section 7.8, we derive weak intersection rounding formulas from weak wall crossing formulas.

if the 1-stability condition does not hold for (y, α∗ ). It will be argued in Subsection 7.3.1, but we consider only cohomology classes which are obtained as polynomials in the slant products of cohomology classes of X and the Chern character of the universal sheaves. We introduce some universal ring in which a formal calculation of such cohomology classes can be done, and we will explain how to take evaluations.

7.1.1 Ring Rl Let Mapf Z2≥ 0 , H ∗ (X) denote the set of maps ϕ : Z2≥ 0 −→ H ∗ (X) such that (n1 , n2 ) ϕ(n1 , n2 ) = 0 is finite. We use the symbol Mapf Z3≥ 0 , H ∗ (D) in a similar meaning. The sets Mapf Z2≥ 0 , H ∗ (X) and Mapf Z3≥ 0 , H ∗ (D) are naturally vector spaces over Q. They are also naturally Z/2Z-graded. In general, when we are given a Z/2Z-graded vector space V , let Sym(V ) denote the super symmetric product of V , which is a super commutative algebra. For any l ≥ 1, we define ∗ ∗ ⊗ Sym Mapf Z3l R l := Sym Mapf Z2l ≥ 0 , H (X) ≥ 0 , H (D) Rl := H ∗ (Pic) ⊗ R l In the case l = 1, we prefer to using the symbol R instead of R1 .

We have the naturally defined algebra homomorphism R ⊗ l −→ R . Hence, ql induces the algebra homomorphism rl : Rl −→ R.

Let πX,i denote the projection of Y × X m1 × Dm2 onto the product of Y and the i-th X. Let πD,j denote the projection of Y × X m1 × Dm2 onto the product of Y and the j-th D. Let p denote the natural morphism Y × X m1 × Dm2 to Pic ×X m1 × Dm2 . Let Z be a d-dimensional algebraic cycle on Y. We have the induced cycle m1 ,m2 := Z × X m1 × Dm2 . We obtain the following element of the Chow group ZX,D A∗ Pic ×X m1 × Dm2 of Pic ×X m1 × Dm2 with rational coefficient:

7.1.4 Equivariant Case We continue to use the setting in Subsection 7.1.3. We recall equivariant Chow groups with respect to a torus action. See [23] and [55] for more details and precise. l Let T denote an l-dimensional torus m(Gl m ) . The T -equivariant bivariant group of ∗ a point R(T ) is the limit of A (P ) with respect to the morphisms induced by inclusions. Let ti denote the first Chern class of the tautological line bundle of the i-th Pm , equipped with degree 2. Then, we have the isomorphism R(T ) Q[t1 , . . . , tl ] of graded algebras. It is convenient to use the symbol ew·ti to denote a trivial line bundle with a T -action induced by the action of the i-th Gm with weight w ∈ Q. Note an action with rational weight makes sense, by taking a covering Gm −→ Gm . Assume that Y is provided with a T -action. Let Ap+1 denote the (p + 1)dimensional linear space. We have the Gm -action on Ap+1 ∗ := Ap+1 −{(0, . . . , 0)} l given by component-wise multiplication. It induces the T -action on Ap+1 ∗ × Y. The quotient stack is denoted by Y (p) . The T -equivariant Chow group of ATd (Y) is defined to be Ad+lp (Y (p) ) for a sufficiently large p in this case. We take a linear inclusion ι : Ap+1 −→ Ap+2 , which induces the regular embedding Y (p) −→ Y (p+1) . Thus, we obtain the morphism Ad+l(p+1) (Y (p+1) ) −→ Ad+lp (Y (p) ), which is independent of the choice of ι. It is an isomorphism if p is sufficiently large for d. Hence, ATd (Y) is well defined. We have the naturally defined morphism Y (p) −→ (Pp )l . Let O(i) (1) denote the tautological of the i-th Pp . We have the action of the first Chern class (i) line bundle(p) c1 O (1) : Ad+lp (Y ) −→ Ad−1+lp (Y (p) ), which induces the action ti : ATd (Y) −→ ATd−1 (Y). Thus, we can naturally regard AT∗ (Y) as an R(T )-module. If Y is a variety over C, we also have the T -equivariant homology group HdT (Y) given by Hd+lp (Y (p) ), where p is sufficiently large for d. We can naturally regard T (Y) is an H∗T (Y) as an R(T )-module, and the cycle map cycl : ATd (Y) −→ H2d R(T )-homomorphism. We have the equivariant version of the evaluation procedure explained in Subsection 7.1.3. Assume that E∗ is provided with a T -action. Let P ∈ R(E∗ ). We (p) naturally obtain the parabolic sheaf E∗ on Y (p) . Let Z ∈ ATd (Y), and let Z (p)

be the corresponding Ad+lp (Y(p) ). We obtain the following element of p l element of m1 Ad−d1 (P )+lp (P ) × Pic ×X × Dm2 : (p)

(p) It is easy to observe that the family ΛP (E∗ , Z (p) ) determines an element ΛTP (E∗ , Z) of ATd−d1 (P ) (Pic ×X m1 × Dm2 ). Thus, we obtain a linear map ΛTP (E∗ , ·) : ATd (Y) −→ ATd−d1 (P ) (Pic ×X m1 × Dm2 ). We obtain the equivariant homology class T cycl ΛTP (E∗ , ·) ∈ H2(d−d Pic ×X m1 × Dm2 1 (P )) Since the T -action on Pic ×X m1 × Dm2 are trivial, c, ai and bj naturally give the equivariant cohomology classes. Let π∗T denote the equivariant Gysin map for Pic ×X m1 × Dm2 −→ pt. We obtain the following: m1 m2 ai · bj ∩ cycl ΛTP (E, Z) degT P (E∗ ) ∩ [Z] := π∗T c · i=1

j=1 T ∈ H2(d−d(P )) (pt)

Since H∗T (pt) is a free R(T )-module of rank one with the special base 1 ∈ H0T (pt), we identify it with R(T ). The above procedure is compatible with the operations of ti . Thus, we obtain an R(T )-homomorphism degT P (E∗ ) ∩ • : AT∗ (Y) −→ R(T ).

Notation 7.1.6 Let A∗T (Y) denote the T -equivariant bivariant theory of Y. We put RT (E∗ , Y) := R(E∗ ) ⊗Q A∗T (Y). By the above construction, we obtain an R(T )-homomorphism degT : RT (E∗ , Y) −→ HomR(T ) AT∗ (Y), R(T ) We are particularly interested in the following example:

An element of RCH is described as in the case of R. When a parabolic sheaf E∗ is given, we put RCH (E∗ ) := RCH . Similarly, Rl,CH are defined for each l ≥ 1. When a tuple of parabolic sheaves E ∗ = (E1 ∗ , . . . , El, ∗ ) is given, we set RCH (E ∗ ) := Rl,CH . We use a convention (7.3) to denote elements of RCH (E ∗ ). The maps A∗ (X) −→ H 2 ∗ (X) and A∗ (D) −→ H 2 ∗ (D) induce the algebra homomorphisms T : RCH (E ∗ ) −→ R(E ∗ ). .l v (h) (2) Let Z ∈ A∗ (Y).

7.1.6 Equivariant Euler Class −1 For an algebra R, let R[[t series aj · tj such that , t] denote the algebra of power the sets j > 0|aj = 0 are finite. We put R(t) := Q[[t−1 , t]. Inductively, we set R(t1 , t2 , . . . , tk ) := R(t2 , . . . , tk )[[t−1 1 , t1 ] Let Ei ∗ (i = 1, 2) be parabolic sheaves over Y × (X, D). Assume that we are given the Gm -actions on Ei ∗ of weights wi . Then, we obtain the following virtual vector bundles on Y equipped with the Gm -action of weight w := w2 − w1 : F1 := RpX ∗ RHom E1 , E2 , F2 := RpD ∗ RHom 2 E1|D ∗ , E2|D ∗

(See Subsection 2.1.6 for the symbol RHom 2 .) We have the Gm -equivariant Euler class Eu(Fa ) ∈ A∗Gm (Y) ⊗Q[t] Q[t, t−1 ] of Fa (a = 1, 2). They are formally d(a)−i ∈ A∗ (Y) ⊗ R(t), where d(a) denote the expected ranks i≥0 ci (Fa ) · w · t of Fa . Thanks to the Grothendieck-Riemann-Rochtheorem,we have the elements Eu (Fa ) ∈ RCH (E1 ∗ , E2 ∗ ) ⊗ R(t) such that Q Eu (Fa ) = Eu(Fa ). For abbreviation, we use the symbols Eu(Fa ) to denote Eu (Fa ) and their image via the composite of the following morphisms: q2

T

RCH (E1 ∗ , E2 ∗ ) ⊗ R(t) −→ R(E1 ∗ , E2 ∗ ) ⊗ R(t) −→ R(E1 ∗ ) ⊗ R(E2 ∗ ) ⊗ R(t)

(7.7)

More generally, let T denote an l-dimensional torus. If Ei ∗ (i = 1, 2) are provided with T -actions, then we have the T -action on the virtual vector bundles Fa (a = 1, 2) above. Therefore, we obtain the T -equivariant Euler classes Eu(Fa ).

Thanks to the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem, we have the element Eu (Fa )

of RCH (E1 ∗ , E2 ∗ ) ⊗ R(t1 , . . . , tl ) such that Q Eu(Fa ) = Eu(Fa ). For abbreviation, we use the symbols Eu(Fa ) to denote Eu(Fa ) and their image via the composite of the morphisms in (7.7) replaced R(t) with R(t1 , . . . , tl ).

7.1.7 Twist by Line Bundle Let L be a line bundle on Y. We put ω := c1 (L). Formally, we often use the symbol eω to denote L, if there are no risk of confusion. Let E∗ be a parabolic sheaf over Y × (X, D). Then, we have the natural isomorphism R(E∗ , Y) R E∗ ⊗ eω , Y given by the following correspondence: chji (E ⊗ eω )/a := i k=0

Thus, we can naturally regard P (E⊗eω ) ∈ R(E⊗eω , Y) as an element of R(E, Y). Remark 7.1.8 We will often use “·” instead of “⊗” to save spaces.

Let us consider the case Y = Y1 × Y2 . Assume that L comes from a line bundle on Y1 , and that E comes from a parabolic sheaf on Y2 × (X, D). The formulas (7.8) and (7.9) determine an element P (E · eω ) ∈ A∗ (Y1 ) ⊗ R(E).

as the sum of integrals over the products of moduli stacks of objects with lower ranks. Such a description is called a transition formula. For that purpose, we prepare some notation. Let S(y, α∗ , δ) denote the set of the decomposition types: 2 y 1 + y 2 = y, S(y, α∗ , δ) := I = (y 1 , y 2 ) ∈ T ype α∗ ,δ Py1 = Pyα2∗ = Pyα∗ ,δ For a given (y 1 , y 2 ) ∈ S(y, α∗ , δ), we put ri := rank y i . We also set

M(y 1 , y y 2 , α∗ ). Note that the 2-stability condition for (y, L, α∗ , δ) implies the 1-stability conditions

u in a similar meaning. We set natural morphism. We use the symbol E 2 ω1 := c1 (Or(E1u ))/ rank r1 . We use the symbol ew·ω1 to denote Or(E1u )w/r1 .

Let Gm be a one dimensional torus. Let R(Gm ) be the Gm -equivariant bivariant theory of a point. It is isomorphic to the limit of A∗ (PN ), and we use the identification R(Gm ) = Q[t], where t corresponds to the first Chern class of the tautological line bundles. It is convenient to use the symbol ew·t to denote the trivial line bundle with a Gm -action of weight w ∈ Q. Note that “an action of rational weight” makes sense by considering a covering of Gm .

Remark 7.3.3 Although we have chosen a base point x0 of X to take a Poincar´e bundle, the linear map Mss ( y,α∗ ) is independent of the choice of x0 . To distinguish the dependence on x0 , we use the symbol Mss (

7.3.2 Easy Property We do not have to take a limit in some cases, contrast to Definition 7.3.2. Lemma 7.3.4 Assume pg > 0. We take a line bundle L such that the 1-vanishing condition holds for (y, L, α∗ ). Then, the following equality holds:

The following lemma is clear from the construction and Proposition 6.4.1. Lemma 7.3.5 If the 1-stability condition holds for (y, α∗ ), Definition 7.3.2 is compatible with the ordinary definition. Proposition 7.3.6 Assume that the equality PE1 = PE2 holds for any E1 ∗ ⊕E2 ∗ ∈ Mss (y, α∗ ). Then, we have the following equality for any sufficiently large m: u

We say that a system of weights α∗ is not critical, if Mss (y, α∗ ) = Mss (y, α∗ ) for any α∗ such that |αi − αi | are sufficiently small. Corollary 7.3.7 Assume one of the following: • α∗ is not critical. • The parabolic part of y is trivial. Then, we have the following equality for any sufficiently large m:

Proof We have only to check the condition in Proposition 7.3.6. If the parabolic part of y is trivial, the condition is trivial. Let us show the second claim. Assume that α∗ is not critical, and take E1 ∗ ⊕ E2 ∗ ∈ Mss (y, α∗ ). Let y i be the types of α α Ei ∗ . Then, we have Py1∗ = Py2∗ for any α∗ which are sufficiently close to α∗ .

We also assume pg > 0 and d := χ y · ch(L)−1 − 1 ≥ 0. Let P ∈ R. Then, the following equality holds for any sufficiently small δ ∈ P br :

When δ is sufficiently smaller than δ1 , we have the following equality, by Corollary 6.4.4:

We move δ1 , and then the transitions are trivial according to Proposition 7.2.5. Thus, we obtain the desired equality (7.30). Recall that a 2-vanishing condition can be controlled numerically for later use. Lemma 7.3.10 Let y be an element of T ype◦ . Assume Py (t) > PK (t) for any sufficiently large t, where PK denotes the reduced Hilbert polynomial of the canonical line bundle of X. Then, the 2-vanishing condition holds for (y, O). Proof Take E ∈ Mss (y). If H 2 (X, E) = 0, we have a non-trivial morphism E −→ KX . It implies Py (t) ≤ PK (t), which contradicts the assumption.

7.3.5 Deformation Invariance Let S be a variety over C. Let X be a smooth projective surface over S provided with a relatively ample line bundle O(1). For simplicity, we assume that (i) S is smooth and affine over C, (ii) we are given a section S −→ X . (The assumptions are not essential for our deformation invariance.) Let D be a divisor of X smooth over S. For each closed point s ∈ S, let (Xs , Ds ) denote the fiber of (X , D) over s. For any closed points si (i = 1, 2), we have the natural identifications H i (Xs1 ) H i (Xs2 ) (i = 0, 4) and H i (Ds1 ) H i (Ds2 ) (i = 0, 2). Let s0 be a closed point of S. Let y be an element of T ype for (Xs0 , Ds0 ). For simplicity, we assume that the H 2 (Xs0 )-component c1 (y) of y is monodromy invariant. For example, it is satisfied if there exists a line bundle M on X such

u denote the universal sheaf on Ms × Xs . Note that Ms may be empty. Let E s Let us consider the family version. By the section S −→ X , we have the Picard variety PicX /S and the Poincar´e bundle on PicX /S ×S X . Hence, we have the naturally defined notion of orientation for a U -coherent sheaf on U ×S X . We also have the naturally defined notion of reduced O(−m)-sections of a U -coherent sheaf on U ×S X . Let M be the moduli stack of oriented parabolic reduced O(−m)-Bradlow

By making the construction of Chapter 5 in family, we obtain a perfect obstruction theory Ob(M/S) −→ LM/S such that the induced morphism ι∗s Ob(M/S) −→ LMs is equivalent to the obstruction theory of Ms given in Chapter 5. By Proposition 2.4.4, we obtain a virtual fundamental class [M] of M. Thanks to Proposition 2.4.6, we obtain ι∗s [M] = [Ms ]. Let M denote a moduli stack of oriented parabolic sheaves on (X , D) of type y with weight α∗ . Let Θrel denote the relative tangent bundle of M −→ M. The restrictions of Θrel to Ms are denoted by the same symbol. By making the procedure of Subsection 7.1.3 in family, we obtain u

7.4 Rank Two Case 7.4.1 Reduction to the Sum of Integrals over the Products of Hilbert Schemes For simplicity, we assume H 1 (X, O) = 0 in this subsection. Let y be an element of T ype◦ with rank(y) = 2. In the following, the H 2 (X)-component of y is denoted by a, and the H 4 (X)-component of y is denoted by b. The second Chern class corresponding to y is denoted by n. We have the relation b = a2 /2 − n. We assume for y and the canonical line bundle (i) Py > PK for reduced Hilbert polynomials K, (ii) χ(y) − 1 ≥ 0, where χ(y) := X ch(y) · Td(X). For any P ∈ R, we would

For any element a1 ∈ N S(X), we put a2 := a−a1 . Let eai denote the holomorphic line bundle whose first Chern class is ai . Since we have assumed H 1 (X, O) = 0, it is uniquely determined up to isomorphisms. For any non-negative integer l, let X [l] denote a Hilbert scheme of 0-schemes of X with length l. Let Iiu denote the universal ideal sheaves on X [ni ] × X. Let Zi denote the universal 0-scheme of X [ni ] × X. Let Ξi denote pX ∗ OZi ⊗ eai . We use the same symbol to denote the pull back of them via appropriate morphisms. Let Gm denote a one dimensional torus. We introduce some cohomology classes on X [n1 ] × X [n2 ] , for which we use Gm -equivariant cohomology classes. The Gm equivariant bivariant theory of a point is the limit lim A∗ (PN ) with respect to in←− clusions PN ⊂ PN +1 . Let s correspond to the first Chern class of the tautological line bundle. It is convenient to use the symbol ew·s to denote the trivial line bundle with a Gm -action of weight w. Then, we have the following virtual Gm -equivariant vector bundle on X [n1 ] × X [n2 ] : −RpX ∗ RHom I1u ea1 −s , I2u ea2 +s − RpX ∗ RHom I2u ea2 +s , I1u ea1 −s Its equivariant Euler class is denoted by Q I1u · ea1 −s , I2u · ea2 +s ∈ R(I1u · ea1 ) ⊗ R(I2u · ea2 )[[s−1 , s]. We have P I1u · ea1 −s , I2u · ea2 +s ∈ R(I1u · ea1 ) ⊗ R(I2u · ea2 )[s], which is induced as explained in Subsection 7.1.2. We also have the equivariant Euler class Eu(Ξ2 ·e2s ) and the ordinary Euler class Eu(Ξ1 ). They can be regarded as elements of R(I2u ·ea2 )[[s−1 , s] and R(I1u ·ea1 ) by the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem. Thus, we obtain the following element of R(I1u · ea1 ) ⊗ R(I2u · ea2 ): P I1u · ea1 −s ⊕ I2u · ea2 +s Eu(Ξ1 ) · Eu(Ξ2 · e2s ) Ψ (a1 , n1 , a2 , n2 ) := Res s=0 (2s)n1 +n2 −pg Q I1u · ea1 −s , I2u · ea2 +s

7.4.2 Dependence on Polarizations Let y ∈ T ype◦ with rank(y) = 2. We use a similar convention as in Subsection 7.4.1. To distinguish the dependence on a polarization H, we use the symbol y ) to denote a moduli stack of torsion-free sheaves of type y which are MH (

semistable with respect to H. Let C denote the ample cone in N S(X) ⊗ R, which is the cone generated by the first Chern class of ample line bundles. For a given line bundle L, the first Chern class c1 (L) ∈ N S(X) is also denoted by L for the simplicity of description. Let ξ be an element of N S(X) such that ξ +a is divisible by 2 in N S(X).

Theorem 7.4.3 Let C+ and C− be chambers which are divided by the wall W ξ . Let H+ and H− be ample line bundles contained in C+ and C− , respectively. We assume H− · ξ < 0 < H+ · ξ. • In the case pg > 0, we have ΦH+ (

(7.34) We give two arguments to prove Theorem 7.4.3. Both of them are based on the following observation. Lemma 7.4.4 ([26], [88]) Let H be an ample line bundle contained in W ξ . We can take Hκ ∈ Cκ (κ = ±) satisfying the following: • There exists a very ample curve C such that H+ = H ⊗ O(C) and H− = H ⊗ O(−C). • The following holds for a torsion-free sheaf E of type y: – E is H+ -semistable if and only if E(C) is H-semistable. – E is H− -semistable if and only if E(−C) is H-semistable.

Ellingsrud and G¨ottsche proved the formula (7.34) for Donaldson invariants under the assumption that the wall W ξ is good. (See [26]. See also the work of Friedman and Qin [36].) They used the parabolic structure E(−C) ⊂ E(C) y , α) denote a moduli stack of with weight α for torsion-free sheaves E. Let Mss (

torsion-free sheaves with the parabolic structure as above, which are semistable with y , 1) = MH+ (

y) respect to the polarization H. By Lemma 7.4.4, we have Mss (

y , 0) = MH− (

y ). We say that α is critical, if Mss (

y , α) = Mss (

y , α ) and Mss (

for any sufficiently close α = α. We can easily show that there are only finitely many critical values, by using some boundedness result. By investigating transition of invariants at critical parabolic weights, they obtained the formula (7.34). Using their framework and our transition formula (7.17), we will show the formula (7.34) without assuming that the wall is good, in Subsection 7.4.3. We will give another argument for the proof of Theorem 7.4.3 in Subsection 7.4.4. It seems a little more suitable when we discuss a similar problem in the higher rank case. We give some preliminary for the argument. In the rest of this section, we use the polarization H contained in the wall W ξ , but not contained in any other walls. Semistability conditions and μ-semistability conditions are considered with respect to H. Let S denote the family of μ-semistable torsion-free sheaves of type y. Let S denote the family of torsion-free sheaves E of rank one with the following property: • μ(E ) = μ(y). (See Subsection 3.2.4 for μ(y).) • There is a member E of S, such that E is a saturated subsheaf of E.

The families S and S are bounded. We take a sufficiently large integer m such that the family S satisfies the condition Om . In the rest of this section, the degree of δ ∈ P br is 0.

7.4.3 Proof of Theorem 7.4.3 (I) For a torsion-free sheaf E, we denote by F (α) the parabolic structure E(−C) ⊂ E(C), α . The following lemma is clear. Lemma 7.4.5 If (E, F (α) , φ) is a δ-semistable parabolic L-Bradlow pair, E is μsemistable. (Recall δ is assumed to be a polynomial of degree 0.) ss Let M y , [L], α, δ denote a moduli stack of the oriented parabolic reduced L-Bradlow pairs of type y with weight α, where the parabolic structure is given as above. Let α be any real number, and let E be any member of S. We take E ∈ S such that E is a saturated subsheaf of E. We put E

:= E/E . Then, we put fα (E ) := PEα − PEα . The number is determined by ch(E ), and hence it is independent of the choice of E. When we fix α, the function fα : S −→ R has finitely many values, by the boundedness of S. It is clear that α is critical if and only if there exists a member E ∈ S such that fα (E ) = 0. Let α0 be critical, and let be any sufficiently small positive number. We can take a small positive number η > 0 such that the following holds for any α with |α − α0 | < η: • fα0 (E ) > 0 ⇐⇒ fα (E ) > • fα0 (E ) < 0 ⇐⇒ fα (E ) < − • fα0 (E ) = 0 ⇐⇒ |fα (E)| < Lemma 7.4.6 We have Mss y , [L], α0 , Mss y , [L], α , for any α such y , [L], α0 , ) = Ms (

We remark that the divisor of the parabolic structure is not reduced in this case, contrast to that we assumed the smoothness of the divisor in Chapter 5. But, we do not have to think the contribution of the parabolic structure to the obstruction theory, because the filtration is

canonically determined by the sheaf. In fact, Ms (

y , [L], α, δ) is an open substack of M(m, y , [L]) for a sufficiently large m, in this case. Thus, we obtain the perfect obstruction theory Ob(m, y , [L]) and the virtual fundamental class. Therefore, we can freely apply our previous results. Let Θrel denote the relative tangent bundle of the naturally defined morphism y , [O(−m)], α, δ) −→ M(m, y ). For any δ ∈ P br which is not critical with Mss (

respect to (y, O(−m), α), we obtain the following number:

The number is denoted by Φ(α). We have Φ(1) = ΦH+ (y) and Φ(0) = ΦH− (y). Therefore, we have only to see the transition of the invariants at critical weights.

Note that a transition of moduli stacks occurs at δ, if Pyα0κ +δ = Pyα1κ holds for some (y0 , y1 ) ∈ S(y, ξ, α). Let us consider the case pg > 0. Since the transitions of the invariants are trivial according to Theorem 7.2.4, we have Φ(ακ , ) − Φ(ακ ) = 0 for κ = ±. Hence, we obtain Φ(α+ ) − Φ(α− ) = 0. Let us consider the case pg = 0.

Then, the formula (7.34) immediately follows from (7.35). Thus, the first proof of Theorem 7.4.3 is finished.

7.4.4 Proof of Theorem 7.4.3 (II) We put y(C) := y · ch(O(C)). We use the symbol y(−C) in a similar meaning. We regard them as elements of T ype◦ . We put O(−m, C) := O(−m) ⊗ O(C) and O(−m, −C) := O(−m) ⊗ O(−C). From a reduced O(−m)-Bradlow pair

∗ Let T ype(S) denote the set ch(E ) ∈ H (X) E ∈ S . For any y0 ∈ S, we put y1 := y − y0 , and then y1 is also an element of T ype(S). We put yi (C) := yi · ch O(C) . We use the symbol yi (−C) in a similar meaning. We remark that Py0 (C) − Py1 (C) and Py0 (−C) − Py1 (−C) are polynomials of degree 0. Let ai , bi and ni denote the first Chern class, the second Chern character and the second Chern class corresponding to yi . We have a0 · H = a1 · H. Since H is a generic element of W ξ , we have a0 − a1 = A · ξ for some A ∈ Q in H 2 (X). Since C · ξ is assumed to be sufficiently large, we have Py0 (C) − Py1 (C) = 0 unless y0 = y1 . We also have Py0 (−C) − Py1 (−C) = 0 unless y0 = y1 . We set S(y, C) := (y0 , y1 ) y0 + y1 = y, yi ∈ T ype(S), Py0 (C) < Py1 (C) , S(y, −C) := (y0 , y1 ) y0 + y1 = y, yi ∈ T ype(S), Py0 (−C) < Py1 (−C) . We take a positive constant δ0 satisfying the following inequalities: δ0 > max |Py0 (C) − Py1 (C) | (y0 , y1 ) ∈ S(y, C) δ0 > max |Py (−C) − Py (−C) | (y0 , y1 ) ∈ S(y, −C) 0

Lemma 7.4.9 (E(C), φC ) is δ0 -semistable, if and only if the following conditions hold: • E is μ-semistable. • For any subobject (E , φ ) ⊂ (E, φ) such that φ = 0, we have μ(E ) < μ(E). Moreover, (E(C), φC ) is δ0 -stable, if it is δ0 -semistable. Proof Assume that (E(C), φC ) is δ0 -semistable. Since δ0 is a polynomial of degree 0, it is easy to see that E(C) is μ-semistable. Hence, the first condition holds. Let (E , φ ) ⊂ (E, φ) be a subobject such that φ = 0. We put E

= E/E . Assume μ(E ) = μ(E). Then, E is a member of S, and hence we have |PE (C) (t) − PE (C) (t)| < δ0 , by our choice of δ0 . Therefore, we ob tain PEδ0 (C) (t) > PE (C) (t), which contradicts the δ0 -semistability of E(C), φC . Hence, the second condition holds.

Let us assume that the two conditions are satisfied. Let (E , φ ) ⊂ (E, φ) be a δ0 subobject such that φ = 0. Because μ(E ) < μ(E), the inequality P(E (C),φ ) (t) < C

δ0 P(E(C),φ holds for any sufficiently large t. Take a subobject E ⊂ (E, φ). We have C) the inequality μ(E ) ≤ μ(E). When the strict inequality holds, we obviously have δ0 for any sufficiently large t. Assume μ(E ) = μ(E). Then, PE (C) (t) < P(E(C),φ C)

E is a member of S. We put E

= E/E . Then, we have PE (C) (t) < PEδ0 (C) by our choice of δ0 . Thus, we obtain the δ0 -semistability of (E(C), φC ). δ0 δ0 From the above argument, we also obtain that P(E (C),φ ) = P(E(C),φ ) cannot C C hold. Therefore, we obtain the second claim. Lemma 7.4.10 (E(C), φC ) is δ0 -semistable, if and only if (E(−C), φ−C ) is δ0 semistable. Moreover, the 1-stability condition holds for (y(C), O(−m, C), δ0 ) and (y(−C), O(−m, −C), δ0 ). Proof By the argument used in the proof of Lemma 7.4.9, we can show that (E(−C), φ−C ) is δ0 -semistable if and only if the two conditions in Lemma 7.4.9 hold. Then, the first claim immediately follows. The second claim can be shown similarly. −C (δ0 ).

Let ri , ai , bi and ni denote the rank, the first Chern class, the second Chern character and the second Chern class corresponding to yi . We have μ(y0 ) = μ(y1 ). Since H is assumed to be generic in W ξ , we have a0 /r0 − a1 /r1 = A · ξ for some A ∈ Q in H 2 (X). Since the intersection number C · ξ is assumed to be sufficiently large, we have Py0 (C) − Py1 (C) = 0 unless y0 /r0 = y1 /r1 . We also have Py0 (−C) − Py1 (−C) = 0 unless y0 /r0 = y1 /r1 . We set S(y, C) := (y0 , y1 ) y0 + y1 = y, yi ∈ T ype(S), Py0 (C) < Py1 (C) S(y, −C) := (y0 , y1 ) y0 + y1 = y, yi ∈ T ype(S), Py0 (−C) < Py1 (−C) . We take a positive constant δ0 satisfying the following inequalities: δ0 > max |Py0 (C) − Py1 (C) | (y0 , y1 ) ∈ S(y, C) δ0 > max |Py0 (−C) − Py1 (−C) | (y0 , y1 ) ∈ S(y, −C) . The following lemma can be shown by using the argument in the proof of Lemma 7.4.9 and Lemma 7.4.10. Lemma 7.5.4 (E(C), φC ) is δ0 -semistable, if and only if (E(−C), φ−C ) is δ0 semistable. Moreover, the δ0 -semistability implies the δ0 -stability in both cases. By using the lemma, we obtain the following: −C (δ0 ) − ΦH (

C (δ0 ) − ΦH (

ΦH+ (

y ) − ΦH− (

y) = Φ y) − Φ y) − + C (δ) when the parameter −C (δ) and Φ Let us look at transitions of the invariants Φ δ is varied from 0 to δ0 . We use Theorem 7.5.1. Since the condition Om holds for S, it is easy to see that the contributions from the decomposition types (y0 , y1 ) are trivial even in the case rank(y0 ) = 1 (Proposition 6.2.3). Hence, we obtain −C (δ0 ) − ΦH (

C (δ0 ) − ΦH (

Φ y ) = 0 and Φ y ) = 0. Thus, the proof of Theorem − + 7.5.3 is finished.

7.6 Transition Formula (pg = 0) 7.6.1 Statement Let us argue a transition formula in the case pg = 0, when a 2-stability condition does not necessarily hold. In this section, we consider only the case that the 1vanishing condition holds for (y, L, α∗ , δ). Let P ∈ R. For a non critical parameter δ, we set

u ) · Eu(Θrel ) P (E Φ(δ) := NL (y) Ms (

y ,[L],α∗ ,δ) Let δ be critical. We take δ− < δ < δ+ such that δκ (κ = ±) are sufficiently close to δ. We would like to express Φ(δ+ ) − Φ(δ− ) as the sum of integrals over the products of moduli stacks of objects with lower ranks. We impose the following condition to (y, L, α∗ , δ): Condition 7.6.1 For any (E1∗ , φ) ⊕ E2 ∗ ⊕ E3 ∗ ∈ Mss (y, L, α∗ , δ), the equality PE2 = PE3 holds for the reduced Hilbert polynomials of E2 and E3 . For each positive integer k, we set Sk (y, δ) := Y = (y 1 , . . . , y k ) ∈ T ypek Pyαi∗ = Pyα∗ ,δ (i = 1, . . . , k) . For each element Y = (y 1 , . . . , y k ) ∈ Sk (y, δ), we put |Y | := define k rank(y i ) W (Y ) := 1≤j≤i rank(y j ) i=1

Let H+ and H− be ample line bundles contained in H+ and H− respectively. Their first Chern classes are also denoted by the same symbols. We assume ξ · H+ > ξ · H− . We would like to express ΦH+ − ΦH− as the sum of integrals over the products of moduli stacks of objects with lower ranks. We have to prepare some notation. In the following, ri , ai and bi denote the rank, the first Chern class and the second Chern character of a given yi ∈ T ype◦ , respectively. We take a generic H in the intersection of the closures of C+ and C− . Let S+,k denote the set of y = (y0 , y1 , . . . , yk ) ∈ (T ype◦ )k+1 satisfying the following conditions: • There exist Ai ≥ 0 (i = 1, . . . , k) such that ai /ri − ai−1 /ri−1 = Ai · ξ in H 2 (X). • In the case A1 = 0, the inequality b0 /r0 < b1 /r1 holds. • In the case Ai = 0 for some i ≥ 2, we have bi /ri ≤ bi+1 /ri+1 . Let S−,k denote the set of y = (y0 , y1 , . . . , yk ) ∈ (T ype◦ )k+1 satisfying the following conditions: • There exist Ai ≤ 0 (i = 1, . . . , k) such that ai /ri − ai−1 /ri−1 = Ai · ξ. • In the case A1 = 0, the inequality b0 /r0 < b1 /r1 holds. • In the case Ai = 0 for some i ≥ 2, we have bi /ri ≤ bi+1 /ri+1 .

When y is given, we introduce some cohomology classes on MHκ (

y). For that purpose, it is convenient to use Gkm -equivariant cohomology classes, where Gkm is a k-dimensional torus. As explained in Subsection 7.1.4, the Gkm -equivariant bivariant theory of a point is identified with Q[t1 , . . . , tk ]. We set T0 := −

Lemma 7.7.2 Let y = (y0 , . . . , yk ) be an element of (T ype◦ )k+1 such that yi = y and μ(yi ) = μ(y). We also assume that there are μ-semistable torsionfree sheaves of type yi (i = 0, . . . , k). Then, it is contained in S+,k if and only if the

following inequality holds for any sufficiently large t: Py0 (C) (t) < Py1 (C) (t) ≤ Py2 (C) (t) ≤ · · · ≤ Pyk (C) (t)

(7.60)

Similarly, y is contained in S−,k if and only if the following inequality holds for any sufficiently large t: Py0 (−C) (t) < Py1 (−C) (t) ≤ Py2 (−C) (t) ≤ · · · ≤ Pyk (−C) (t) Proof We remark the finiteness of y satisfying the assumption of the lemma, by the boundedness of S. The condition (7.60) is equivalent to the following: b0 + a0 · C b1 + a1 · C b2 + a2 · C bk + ak · C < ≤ ≤ ··· ≤ r0 r1 r2 rk

(7.61)

We have (ai+1 · H)/ri+1 = (ai · H)/ri , and H is generic in W ξ . Hence, we have ai+1 /ri+1 − ai /ri = Ai · ξ for some rational numbers Ai , and we have (ai+1 ·C)/ri+1 −(ai ·C)/ri = Ai ·(ξ·C). Since ξ · C is sufficiently large, the condition (7.61) is equivalent to y ∈ S+,k . Thus, the first claim is proved. The second claim can be shown similarly. For any y = (y0 , . . . , yk ) ∈ S+ , we put k M

Mss y i (C) . y(C), [O(−m, C)] := Ms y 0 (C), [O(−m, C)], × i=1

Let Θrel denote the bundle over M

C (δ0 ) − Φ(H+ ) and Let δ0 be as in the proof of Theorem 7.5.3. To investigate Φ Φ−C (δ0 ) − Φ(H− ), we use the transition formula (Theorem 7.6.2) inductively. By Lemma 7.7.2, we obtain the following equality: Hy (m) Eu(Θrel ) 0 ΦC (δ0 ) = ΦH+ (

In the following, ai and bi denote the first Chern class and the second Chern character of a given yi .

To introduce some cohomology classes, it is convenient to use equivariant cohomology classes. Let Gm denote a one dimensional torus. The Gm -equivariant bivariant theory of a point is identified with Q[t] as explained in Subsection 7.1.4. Similarly, the (Gm )2 -equivariant bivariant theory of a point is identified with Q[t1 , t2 ]. We use the symbol ew·ti to denote a trivial line bundle with (Gm )2 action induced by the action of the i-th Gm with weight w. We use ew·t in a similar meaning. Let (y0 , y1 ) be an element of (T ype◦ )2 . From Gm -equivariant coherent sheaves y1 , Hκ ) × M(

7.7.4 Weak Intersection Rounding Formula in the Rank 3 Case The weak wall crossing formula (7.59) is not so easy to treat, even in the rank 3 case. We would like to obtain a more accessible quantity from our invariants. For that purpose, we consider “intersection rounding phenomena”, or “wall-crossing of wall-crossing”. Later, we will study it in the general case. (Section 7.8). However, the general statement is a little complicated. Hence, we give the formula for the rank 3 case in this subsection. W ξ2 H−+ q

7.8 Weak Intersection Rounding Formula 7.8.1 Preliminary We prepare some terminology to state the theorem. An oriented tree is a tree provided with an orientation for each edge. For an oriented tree R, let V (R) denote the set of the vertices of R. We have a natural order ≤R on V (R). Let Vmax (R) denote the set of the maximal vertices of R, and we put V ◦ (R) := V (R) − Vmax (R). An oriented tree R is called an indexed rooted oriented binary plane tree of rank r, if the following conditions are satisfied (see the pictures below):

• R is embedded in R × R≥ 0 , and it intersects with R × {0} transversally. The intersection R ∩ (R × {0}) consists of the maximal points. • There exists the unique minimal vertex o with respect to the order induced by the orientation. The vertex is called the root. • The maximal verticesare {(0, 0), (1, 0), . . . , (r − 1, 0)}. • For any v ∈ V (R) − {o} ∪ Vmax (R) , there are three edges which contain v. • A bijective map ϕ : V ◦ (R) −→ {1, . . . , r − 1} is provided, which preserves the orders on the sets V ◦ (R) and {1, . . . , r − 1}. r=2

We have a natural notion of isotopy. Let T(r) denote the set of the isotropy classes of an indexed rooted oriented binary plane trees of rank r. For example, #T(1) = 1, #T(2) = 1, #T(3) = 2 and #T(4) = 6. Remark 7.8.1 T(r) parameterizes the set of composition rules. It is easy to show #T(n) = (n − 1)!, which was pointed out by the referee. Let R be an indexed rooted oriented binary plane tree of rank r. For any v ∈ V (R), we set r(v) := # u ∈ Vmax (R) u ≥R v Take v ∈ V ◦ (R). The vertices v b , v l and v r are given as in the following picture: r vb rv ? @

Proof We use an induction on s. In the case s = 1, the claim follows from the assumption P (r − 1). Assume that the claim holds in the case s − 1, and we will show the claim in the case s. If the inequality |I| ≥ rank(y1 ) holds, the contribution from (I, J) is 0 in (7.76), s by the assumption P (r − 1). If |I| ≤ rank(y1 ) − 1 holds, the inequality |J| > i=2 rank yi −s+1 holds. Therefore, we obtain the vanishing of the contribution by the hypothesis of the induction. Thus we are done. Lemma 7.8.5 Assume that Q(r − 1) holds. Let yi (i = 1, 2) be elements of T ype◦ such that rank y1 + rank y2 = r. For ξ = (ξ1 , . . . , ξr−2 ), the number DξT (Φ1 (

For a map λ : S −→ {±}, let T (λ) denote the tile of W ξ1 determined by the following conditions: • The closure of T (λ) contains T . • Let H be any ample line bundle contained in T (λ).

We set S1 := (y0 , y1 ) ∈ T ype2 y0 + y1 = y, a0 /r0 − a1 /r1 = A · ξ1 (A < 0) , S2 := (y0 , y1 ) ∈ T ype2 y0 + y1 = y, a0 /r0 − a1 /r1 = A · ξ1 (A > 0) S3 := (y0 , y1 ) ∈ T ype2 y0 + y1 = y, a0 /r0 = a1 /r1 , b0 < b1 Then, we obtain the following equality from (7.79) and Lemma 7.8.5: 0 = DξT Φ(

The contributions from S3 are cancelled out. We have the bijection S1 −→ S2 given by (y0 , y1 ) −→ (y1 , y0 ). We also have Dξ Ψ (

y0 , y 1 ) = −Dξ Ψ (

By using (7.80) and Lemma 7.8.5 inductively, we can obtain the formula (7.72). Thus, the claim Q(r) is proved, and the proof of Theorem 7.8.2 is finished.

LECTURE NOTES IN MATHEMATICS

123

Edited by J.-M. Morel, F. Takens, B. Teissier, P.K. Maini Editorial Policy (for the publication of monographs) 1. Lecture Notes aim to report new developments in all areas of mathematics and their applications - quickly, informally and at a high level. Mathematical texts analysing new developments in modelling and numerical simulation are welcome. Monograph manuscripts should be reasonably self-contained and rounded off. Thus they may, and often will, present not only results of the author but also related work by other people. They may be based on specialised lecture courses. Furthermore, the manuscripts should provide sufficient motivation, examples and applications. This clearly distinguishes Lecture Notes from journal articles or technical reports which normally are very concise. Articles intended for a journal but too long to be accepted by most journals, usually do not have this “lecture notes” character. For similar reasons it is unusual for doctoral theses to be accepted for the Lecture Notes series, though habilitation theses may be appropriate. 2. Manuscripts should be submitted either to Springer’s mathematics editorial in Heidelberg, or to one of the series editors. In general, manuscripts will be sent out to 2 external referees for evaluation. If a decision cannot yet be reached on the basis of the first 2 reports, further referees may be contacted: The author will be informed of this. A final decision to publish can be made only on the basis of the complete manuscript, however a refereeing process leading to a preliminary decision can be based on a pre-final or incomplete manuscript. The strict minimum amount of material that will be considered should include a detailed outline describing the planned contents of each chapter, a bibliography and several sample chapters. Authors should be aware that incomplete or insufficiently close to final manuscripts almost always result in longer refereeing times and nevertheless unclear referees’ recommendations, making further refereeing of a final draft necessary. Authors should also be aware that parallel submission of their manuscript to another publisher while under consideration for LNM will in general lead to immediate rejection. 3. Manuscripts should in general be submitted in English. Final manuscripts should contain at least 100 pages of mathematical text and should always include – a table of contents; – an informative introduction, with adequate motivation and perhaps some historical remarks: it should be accessible to a reader not intimately familiar with the topic treated; – a subject index: as a rule this is genuinely helpful for the reader. For evaluation purposes, manuscripts may be submitted in print or electronic form, in the latter case preferably as pdf- or zipped ps-files. Lecture Notes volumes are, as a rule, printed digitally from the authors’ files. To ensure best results, authors are asked to use the LaTeX2e style files available from Springer’s web-server at: ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/svmonot1/ (for monographs).

Additional technical instructions, if necessary, are available on request from: [email protected]. 4. Careful preparation of the manuscripts will help keep production time short besides ensuring satisfactory appearance of the finished book in print and online. After acceptance of the manuscript authors will be asked to prepare the final LaTeX source files (and also the corresponding dvi-, pdf- or zipped ps-file) together with the final printout made from these files. The LaTeX source files are essential for producing the full-text online version of the book (see www.springerlink.com/content/110312 for the existing online volumes of LNM). The actual production of a Lecture Notes volume takes approximately 12 weeks. 5. Authors receive a total of 50 free copies of their volume, but no royalties. They are entitled to a discount of 33.3% on the price of Springer books purchased for their personal use, if ordering directly from Springer. 6. Commitment to publish is made by letter of intent rather than by signing a formal contract. Springer-Verlag secures the copyright for each volume. Authors are free to reuse material contained in their LNM volumes in later publications: a brief written (or e-mail) request for formal permission is sufficient. Addresses: Professor J.-M.
