Introduction to moduli spaces of sheaves

Sungwoo Nam (Illinois Math)

Abstract: This talk will be an introduction to moduli spaces of sheaves. We will see some motivating questions that lead to the study of moduli spaces of sheaves, and discuss examples telling us why the notion of stability is needed, even in the simplest case of vector bundles on curves. Then I will survey some results on moduli spaces of sheaves on surfaces, especially those of K3 and abelian surfaces and applications to holomorphic symplectic geometry.

Coble

Frank Calegari (University of Chicago)

Abstract: Coble is known (in part) for his work on invariant theory and the geometry of certain of exceptional moduli spaces in low dimension. We discuss the quest to find explicit equations for one particular family of moduli spaces. An important role is played by a number of exceptional geometrical coincidences and also the theory of complex reflection groups. This will be a colloquium style talk and will be independent of the first two talks.
