Analytic cycles in flip passages and in instanton moduli spaces over non-Kählerian surfaces

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) be a moduli space of stable (polystable) bundles with fixed determinant on a complex surface with [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be a pure [Formula: see text]-dimensional analytic set. We prove a general formula for the homological boundary [Formula: see text] of the Borel–Moore fundamental class of [Formula: see text] in the boundary of the blown up moduli space [Formula: see text]. The proof is based on the holomorphic model theorem of [A. Teleman, Instanton moduli spaces on non-Kählerian surfaces, Holomorphic models around the reduction loci, J. Geom. Phys. 91 (2015) 66–87] which identifies a neighborhood of a boundary component of [Formula: see text] with a neighborhood of the boundary of a “blown up flip passage”. We then focus on a particular instanton moduli space which intervenes in our program for proving the existence of curves on class VII surfaces. Using our result, combined with general properties of the Donaldson cohomology classes, we prove incidence relations between the Zariski closures (in the considered moduli space) of certain families of extensions. These incidence relations are crucial for understanding the geometry of the moduli space, and cannot be obtained using classical complex geometric deformation theory.
