Birational geometry of moduli spaces of sheaves on surfaces


Abstract
             

In the last five years Bridgeland stability has revolutionized our understanding of the geometry of moduli spaces of sheaves on surfaces, allowing us to compute ample and effective cones and describe different birational models. In this talk, I will survey some of my joint work with Daniele Arcara, Aaron Bertram, Jack Huizenga and Matthew Woolf on the birational geometry of moduli spaces of sheaves on the plane. I will describe the ample and effective cones of these moduli spaces, concentrating on Hilbert schemes of points and concrete examples.
