Configurations in abelian categories. III. Stability conditions and identities

Abstract

This is the third in a series math.AG/0312190, math.AG/0503029, math.AG/0410268 on configurations in an abelian category A. Given a finite partially ordered set (I,<), an (I,<)-configuration (σ,ι,π) is a finite collection of objects σ(J) and morphisms ι(J,K) or π(J,K) : σ(J) --> σ(K) in A satisfying some axioms, where J,K are subsets of I. Configurations describe how an object X in A decomposes into subobjects. The first paper math.AG/0312190 defined configurations and studied moduli spaces Obj_A, M(I,<)_A of objects and (I,<)-configurations in A, using the theory of Artin stacks. The second math.AG/0503029 considered algebras of constructible functions and "stack functions" on Obj_A, using the theories developed in math.AG/0403305, math.AG/0509722. This paper introduces (weak) stability conditions (t,T,<) on A. We show the moduli spaces Obj_{ss}^a(t),Obj_{st}^a(t) of t-(semi)stable objects in class a in K(A) are constructible sets in the stack Obj_A, and some configuration moduli spaces M_{ss},...,M_{st}^b(I,<,k,t)_A are constructible in M(I,<)_A. So their characteristic functions d_{ss}^a(t),... and d_{ss}(I,<,k,t),... are constructible functions on Obj_A and M(I,<)_A. We prove many identities relating pushforwards of these functions under 1-morphisms between moduli stacks. These encode facts about, for example, the Euler characteristic of the family of ways of decomposing a t-semistable object into t-stable factors, and constitute a kind of "universal algebra of t-(semi)stability". Using these we define interesting (Lie) algebras of constructible functions H^{pa}_t,H^{to}_t and L^{pa}_t,L^{to}_t on Obj_A. All this is generalized to "stack functions".

Perverse Euler Characteristics of Hermitian Locally Symmetric Spaces

We prove that finite-volume locally Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type have nonnegative perverse Euler characteristics. To show this, we obtain a nefness result for the logarithmic cotangent bundle of a smooth toroidal compactification. Combining this with a positivity criterion for Euler characteristics of perverse sheaves, we deduce the nonnegativity result. We further prove that the inequality is strict for perverse sheaves with full support. As applications, we get nonnegativity results for perverse Euler characteristics on various moduli spaces.

Coupled Pklt Tuples and Varieties of Pklt Type

We introduce asymptotic multiplier ideal sheaves and log canonical thresholds associated with tuples of pseudoeffective divisors on a projective klt pair. We prove that the threshold of a coupled potentially klt tuple is computed by a quasi-monomial valuation. For varieties of potentially klt type, we prove that every big divisor admits a birational Zariski decomposition with semiample positive part. We also prove finite generation of multisection rings of big divisors and give a criterion for a variety of potentially klt type to be a Mori dream space.

Graded Betti numbers of general curves of large degree

Let $C$ be a smooth projective complex curve of genus $g$ and gonality $k$, and $L$ be a very ample line bundle on $C$. When $L$ has sufficiently large degree, the vanishing and nonvanishing of the Koszul cohomology groups $K_{p,q}(C,L)$ have been determined previously, but the exact values of the graded Betti numbers $\kappa_{p,q}(C, L)$ remain largely unknown. In this paper, we give explicit closed formulas for all graded Betti numbers $\kappa_{p,q}(C, L)$ when the Brill--Noether locus $W_k^1(C)$ has the expected dimension and $H^1(C, L \otimes \omega_C^{-1})=0$. Consequently, we determine the complete Betti table for a general curve when $\deg L \geq 4g-3$ or when $\deg L \geq 3g-3$ and $L$ is general. We also explicitly compute the Boij--S\"{o}derberg coefficient of the section ring $R(C, L)$ governing asymptotic purity, and show eventual monotonicity of the remaining coefficients: they decrease for hyperelliptic curves and increase under a natural generic reducedness assumption on the relevant Brill--Noether loci.
