Variation of Gieseker moduli spaces via quiver GIT

Abstract

We introduce a notion of stability for sheaves with respect to several polarisations that generalises the usual notion of Gieseker-stability. We prove, under a boundedness assumption, which we show to hold on threefolds or for rank two sheaves on base manifolds of arbitrary dimension, that semistable sheaves have a projective coarse moduli space that depends on a natural stability parameter. We then give two applications of this machinery. First, we show that given a real ample class ωN1(X)R\omega \in N^1(X)_\mathbb{R} on a smooth projective threefold XX there exists a projective moduli space of sheaves that are Gieseker-semistable with respect to ω\omega. Second, we prove that given any two ample line bundles on XX the corresponding Gieseker moduli spaces are related by Thaddeus-flips.
