Stable toric sheaves. I : Chern classes

Abstract

We study rank 2 torus-equivariant torsion-free sheaves on the complex projective space. For reflexive sheaves we derive a simple formula for the Chern polynomial, and in the general torsion-free case we introduce an iterative construction method based on elementary injections, allowing us to prescribe Chern classes. This yields infinite families of explicit examples on P4\mathbb{P}^4 and P5\mathbb{P}^5, and establishes existence on Pn\mathbb{P}^n for all n3n\geq 3, with Chern classes satisfying all known constraints arising from locally freeness and indecomposability. We also provide simple obstructions for smoothability.

Comments

Proposition 2.6 has been improved : we reduce Hartshorne's conjecture in the semistable case to the non-existence of smoothable toric sheaves, removing the assumption on the first Chern class from the previous version
