Stability and Fourier–Mukai transforms on elliptic fibrations

Abstract

We systematically develop Bridgeland's [7] and Bridgeland–Maciocia's [10] techniques for studying elliptic fibrations, and identify criteria that ensure 2-term complexes are mapped to torsion-free sheaves under a Fourier–Mukai transform. As an application, we construct an open immersion from a moduli of stable complexes to a moduli of Gieseker stable sheaves on elliptic threefolds. As another application, we give various 1–1 correspondences between fibrewise semistable torsion-free sheaves and codimension-1 sheaves on Weierstrass surfaces.
