Perverse coherent sheaves on blow-up. II. Wall-crossing and Betti numbers formula

Abstract

This is the second of series of papers studyig moduli spaces of a certain class of coherent sheaves, which we call stable perverse coherent sheaves, on the blow-up p: b X → X of a projective surface X at a point 0. The followings are main results of this paper: a) We describe the wall-crossing between moduli spaces caused by twisting of the line bundle O(C) associated with the exceptional divisor C. b) We give the formula for virtual Hodge numbers of moduli spaces of stable perverse coherent sheaves. Moreover we also give proofs of the followings which we observed in a special case in (24): c) The moduli space of stable perverse coherent sheaves is isomorphic to the usual moduli space of stable coherent sheaves on the original surface if the first Chern class is orthogonal to (C). d) The moduli space becomes isomorphic to the usual moduli space of stable coherent sheaves on the blow-up after twisting by O(−mC) for sufficiently largem. Therefore usual moduli spaces of stable sheaves on the blow-up and the original surfaces are connected via wall-crossings.
