We survey recent progress in the study of moduli of vector bundles on higher-dimensional base manifolds. In particular, we discuss an algebro-geometric construction of an analogue for the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck compactification and explain how…

We construct moduli stacks of stable sheaves for surfaces fibered over marked nodal curves by using expanded degenerations. These moduli stacks carry a virtual class and therefore give rise to enumerative invariants. In the case of a…

We consider the moduli space of stable vector bundles on curves embedded in P_2 with Hilbert polynomial 3m+1 and construct a compactification of this space by vector bundles. The result is a blow up of the Simpson moduli space…

Let $H$ be a semisimple algebraic group. We prove the semistable reduction theorem for $\mu$--semistable principal $H$--bundles over a {\it smooth projective variety $X$} defined over the field $\bc$. When $X$ is a {\it smooth projective…

By using a Fourier-Mukai transform for sheaves on K3 surfaces we show that for a wide class of K3 surfaces $X$ the punctual Hilbert schemes $\Hilb^n(X)$ can be identified, for all $n\geq 1$, with moduli spaces of Gieseker stable vector…

We construct a moduli space of slope-semistable pure sheaves, building upon previous work of Le Potier and Jun Li on torsion-free sheaves over smooth surfaces. In particular, our construction provides a compactification of the Simpson…

The space of smooth rational curves of degree $d$ in a projective variety $X$ has compactifications by taking closures in the Hilbert scheme, the moduli space of stable sheaves or the moduli space of stable maps respectively. In this paper…

We study the behavior of the Gieseker space of semistable torsion-free sheaves of rank r and fixed c_1, c_2 on a non-singular projective surface as the polarization varies. It is shown that the ample cone admits a locally finite chamber…

Let $X$ be a smooth, irreducible, projective algebraic surface, and let $\alpha \in \mathbb{Q}[m]_{>0}$ be a polynomial. In this paper, we determine topological and geometric properties of the moduli space of $\alpha$-stable coherent…

We generalize the construction of M. Lieblich for the compactification of the moduli stack of $\PGL_r$-bundles on algebraic spaces to the moduli stack of Tanaka-Thomas $\PGL_r$-Higgs bundles on algebraic schemes. The method we use is the…

The moduli space of slope-stable vector bundles on a normal projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$ is stratified with respect to the decomposition type. On a smooth projective curve of genus at…

We introduce a notion of Gieseker stability for coherent sheaves on tame Deligne-Mumford stacks with projective moduli scheme and some chosen generating sheaf on the stack in the sense of Olsson and Starr \cite{MR2007396}. We prove that…

In this paper, we study certain moduli spaces of vector bundles on the blowup of the projective plane in at least 10 very general points. Moduli spaces of sheaves on general type surfaces may be nonreduced, reducible and even disconnected.…

A projective moduli space of pairs (C,E) where E is a slope- semistable torsion free sheaf of uniform rank on a Deligne- Mumford stable curve C is constructed via G.I.T. There is a natural SL x SL action on the relative Quot scheme over the…

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…

We consider the geometry of a general polarized K3 surface $(S,h)$ of genus 16 and its Fourier-Mukai partner $(S',h')$. We prove that $S^{[2]}$ is isomorphic to the moduli space $M_{S'}(2,h',7)$ of stable sheaves with Mukai vector…

The space of smooth rational cubic curves in projective space $\PP^r$ ($r\ge 3$) is a smooth quasi-projective variety, which gives us an open subset of the corresponding Hilbert scheme, the moduli space of stable maps, or the moduli space…

A procedure resolving a torsion-free coherent sheaf on a nonsingular $N$-dimensional projective algebraic variety into a locally free sheaf on a projective scheme of certain class is proposed. This is a higher-dimensional analog of the…

The moduli space $\cM_g$ of nonsingular projective curves of genus $g$ is compactified into the moduli $\bcM_g$ of Deligne-Mumford stable curves of genus $g$. We compactify in a similar way the moduli space of abelian varieties by adding…

The Gieseker-Uhlenbeck morphism maps the Gieseker moduli space of stable rank-2 sheaves on a smooth projective surface to the Uhlenbeck compactification, and is a generalization of the Hilbert-Chow morphism for Hilbert schemes of points.…
