Moduli spaces of quasitrivial sheaves on the three dimensional projective space
Let M(r,c_1,c_3,c_3) denote the Gieseker--Maruyama moduli space of semistable rank r sheaves on P^3 with the first, second and third Chern classes equal to c_1, c_2 and c_3, respectively. Maruyama proved that the space M(r,c_1,c_3,c_3) is a projective scheme. However, the geometry of such a scheme remains largely unknown, despite the efforts of many authors in the past four decades, and questions about connectedness, irreducibility, the number of irreducible components, and so on, remain open.When r=1 and c_1=0 (which can always be achieved after twisting by an appropriate line bundle), one gets that M(1,0,c_2,c_3) is isomorphic to the Hilbert scheme Hilb^{d,g}(P^3) of 1-dimensional schemes…
