Singular locus of instanton sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^3$

Algebraic Geometry 2016-11-22 v1

Abstract

We prove that the singular locus of a rank 2 instanton sheaf EE on P3\mathbb{P}^3 which is not locally free has pure dimension 1. Moreover, we also show that the dual and double dual of EE are isomorphic locally free instanton sheaves, and that the sheaves \mathcal{E}xt^1(E,\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^3) and E/EE^{\vee\vee}/E are rank 00 instantons. We also provide explicit examples of instanton sheaves of rank 33 and 44 illustrating that all of these claims are false for higher rank instanton sheaves.
