Moduli of sheaves and the Chow group of K3 surfaces
Abstract
Let X be a projective complex K3 surface. Beauville and Voisin singled out a 0-cycle c_X on X of degree 1: it is represented by any point lying on a rational curve in X. Huybrechts proved that the second Chern class of a rigid simple vector-bundle on X is a multiple of the Beauville-Voisin class c_X if certain hypotheses hold and he conjectured that the additional hypotheses are unnecessary. We believe that the following generalization of Huybrechts' conjecture holds. Let M and N be moduli spaces of stable pure sheaves on X (with fixed cohomological Chern characters) and suppose that they have the same dimension: then the set whose elements are second Chern classes of sheaves parametrized by the closure of M (in the corresponding moduli spaces of semistable sheaves) is equal to the set whose elements are second Chern classes of sheaves parametrized by the closure of N after a translation by a suitable multiple of c_X (so that degrees match). We will prove that the above statement holds under some additional assumptions.
