Moduli of rank two semistable sheaves on rational Fano threefolds of the main series

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the moduli spaces of semistable coherent sheaves of rank two on the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$ and the following rational Fano manifolds of the main series - the three-dimensional quadric $X_2$, the intersection of two 4-dimensional quadrics $X_4$ and the Fano manifold $X_5$ of degree 5. For the quadric $X_2$, the boundedness of the third Chern class $c_3$ of rank two semistable objects in $\mathrm{D}^b(X_2)$, including sheaves, is proved. An explicit description is given of all the moduli spaces of semistable sheaves of rank two on $X_2$, including reflexive ones, with a maximal third class $c_3\ge0$. These spaces turn out to be irreducible smooth rational manifolds in all cases, except for the following two: $(c_1,c_2,c_3)=(0,2,2)$ or (0,4,8). Several new infinite series of rational components of the moduli spaces of semistable sheaves of rank two on $\mathbb{P}^3$, $X_2$, $X_4$ and $X_5$ are constructed, as well as a new infinite series of irrational components on $X_4$. The boundedness of the class $c_3$ is proved for $c_1=0$ and any $c_2>0$ for stable reflexive sheaves of general type on manifolds $X_4$ and $X_5$.
