Moduli of vector bundles on higher-dimensional base manifolds - Construction and Variation (1503.00319v2)

Abstract: We survey recent progress in the study of moduli of vector bundles on higher-dimensional base manifolds. In particular, we discuss an algebro-geometric construction of an analogue for the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck compactification and explain how to use moduli spaces of quiver representations to show that Gieseker-Maruyama moduli spaces with respect to two different chosen polarisations are related via Thaddeus-flips through other "multi-Gieseker"-moduli spaces of sheaves. Moreover, as a new result, we show the existence of a natural morphism from a multi-Gieseker moduli space to the corresponding Donaldson-Uhlenbeck moduli space.
