Abstract

Let k\Bbbk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let Sch/k\mathrm{Sch}/\Bbbk denote the category of schemes of finite type over k\Bbbk. Let BB be a connected projective scheme over k\Bbbk and let L\mathcal L be an ample line bundle on BB. Let τ\tau be a Harder-Narasimhan type of length 2, and let δN\delta\in\mathbb N. We say a pure sheaf E\mathcal E on BB is (τ,δ)(\tau,\delta)-stable if its Harder-Narasimhan filtration 0=E0E1E2=E0=\mathcal E_{\leq 0}\subsetneq\mathcal E_{\leq 1}\subsetneq\mathcal E_{\leq 2}=\mathcal E is non-splitting, of type τ\tau, with stable subquotients, and δ=dimkHomOB(E2,E1)\delta=\dim_\Bbbk\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathcal O_B}(\mathcal E_2,\mathcal E_1) for Ei:=Ei/Ei1\mathcal E_i:=\mathcal E_{\leq i}/\mathcal E_{\leq i-1}. We define a moduli functor Mτ,δ\mathbf M'_{\tau,\delta} classifying (τ,δ)(\tau,\delta)-stable sheaves on BB and construct its coarse moduli space by non-reductive geometric invariant theory (GIT). We extend the non-reductive GIT in arXiv:1607.04181 and arXiv:1601.00340 to linear actions on non-reduced schemes, and apply our non-reductive GIT to prove that the sheafification (Mτ,δ)(\mathbf M'_{\tau,\delta})^\sharp on (Sch/k)eˊtale(\mathrm{Sch}/\Bbbk)_{\'etale} is represented by a quasi-projective scheme. Our methods generalise Jackson's construction of moduli spaces of (τ,δ)(\tau,\delta)-stable sheaves in arXiv:2111.07428 in the category of varieties, to allow non-reduced moduli schemes.
