Orbifold Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch for quotient Deligne-Mumford stacks and equivariant moduli theory on $ K3 $ surfaces

Abstract

We study the orbifold Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch (HRR) theorem for quotient Deligne-Mumford stacks, explore its relation with the representation theory of finite groups, and derive a new orbifold HRR formula via an orbifold Mukai pairing. As a first application, we use this formula to compute the dimensions of $ G $-equivariant moduli spaces of stable sheaves on a $ K3 $ surface $ X $ under the action of a finite subgroup $ G $ of its symplectic automorphism group. We then apply the orbifold HRR formula to reproduce the number of fixed points on $ X $ when $ G $ is cyclic without using the Lefschetz fixed point formula. We prove that under some mild conditions, equivariant moduli spaces of stable sheaves on $ X $ are irreducible symplectic manifolds deformation equivalent to Hilbert schemes of points on $ X $ via a connection between Gieseker and Bridgeland moduli spaces, as well as the derived McKay correspondence.
