Stability and applications to birational and hyperkaehler geometry - Lecture 2
De Arend Bayer
This lecture series will be an introduction to stability conditions on derived categories, wall-crossing, and its applications to birational geometry of moduli spaces of sheaves. I will assume a passing familiarity with derived categories.
Introduction to stability conditions. I will start with a gentle review of aspects of derived categories. Then an informal introduction to Bridgeland’s notion of stability conditions on derived categories [2, 5, 6]. I will then proceed to explain the concept of wall-crossing, both in theory, and in examples [1, 2, 4, 6].
Wall-crossing and birational geometry. Every moduli space of Bridgeland-stable objects comes equipped with a canonically defined nef line bundle. This systematically explains the connection between wall-crossing and birational geometry of moduli spaces. I will explain and illustrate the underlying construction [7].
Applications : Moduli spaces of sheaves on $K3$ surfaces. I will explain how one can use the theory explained in the previous talk in order to systematically study the birational geometry of moduli spaces of sheaves, focussing on $K3$ surfaces [1, 8].
