Title:


Fixed-Point Loci of Moduli Spaces of Sheaves on Toric Orbifolds



Abstract:


I will present a combinatorial description of torus-equivariant sheaves on smooth projective toric orbifolds and apply it to fixed loci in moduli spaces of stable torsion-free sheaves. The main new ingredient is a gluing formula for stacky (S)-families on general toric quotient charts, which simultaneously keeps track of torus weights and the fine gradings determined by local stabilizers.

For characteristic functions supported in one box on every maximal chart, the stacky data reduce to compatible multi filtrations. Together with a balanced generating sheaf, this permits an extension of Kool’s GIT method to modified Gieseker stability and gives a scheme-theoretic description of the corresponding fixed-locus components.

The talk will focus on the rank-one case, where the construction becomes explicit and leads to combinatorial generating functions. This example illustrates phenomena absent for ordinary toric varieties, particularly the contribution of stacky weights and fine gradings.
