A new non-reduced moduli component of rank 2 semistable sheaves on P3

Abstract

In the present paper we describe new component of the Gieseker-Maruyama moduli space $\mathcal{M}(14)$ of coherent semistable rank-2 sheaves with Chern classes $c_1=0, \ c_2=14, \ c_3=0$ on $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ which is generically non-reduced. The construction of this component is based on the technique of elementary transformations of sheaves and famous Mumford's example of a non-reduced component of the Hilbert scheme of smooth space curves of degree 14 and genus 24.
