Slope Stability and Exceptional Divisors of High Genus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study slope stability of smooth surfaces and its connection with exceptional divisors. We show that a surface containing an exceptional divisor with arithmetic genus at least two is slope unstable for some polarisation. In the converse direction we show that slope stability of surfaces can be tested with divisors, and prove that for surfaces with non-negative Kodaira dimension any destabilising divisor must have negative self-intersection and arithmetic genus at least two. We also prove that a destabilising divisor can never be nef, and as an application give an example of a surface that is slope stable but not K-stable.

The Tangent Cones at Double points of Prym-Canonical Divisors of Curves of genus 7
Let η be a line bundle on a smooth curve X with η^2=0 such that π_η, the double covering induced by η is an etale morphism. Assume also that X_η be the Prym-canonical model of X associated to K_X.η and Q is a rank 4 quadric containing X_η. After stablishing the projective normality of the prym-canonical models of curves X with Clifford index 2, we obtain in this paper a sufficient condition for...
متن کاملCovers of Elliptic Curves and the Lower Bound for Slopes of Effective Divisors on Mg
Consider genus g curves that admit degree d covers to elliptic curves only branched at one point with a fixed ramification type. The locus of such covers forms a one parameter family Y that naturally maps into the moduli space of stable genus g curves Mg. We study the geometry of Y , and produce a combinatorial method by which to investigate its slope, irreducible components, genus and orbifold...
متن کاملSYZYGIES OF CURVES AND THE EFFECTIVE CONE OF Mg
The aim of this paper is to describe a systematic way of constructing effective divisors on Mg having exceptionally small slope. In particular, these divisors provide a string of counterexamples to the Harris-Morrison Slope Conjecture (cf. [HMo]). In a previous paper [FP], we showed that the divisor K10 on M10 consisting of sections of K3 surfaces contradicts the Slope Conjecture on M10. Since ...
متن کاملThe Effective Cone of the Moduli Space of Sheaves on the Plane
Let ξ be the Chern character of a stable coherent sheaf on P. We compute the cone of effective divisors on the moduli space M(ξ) of semistable sheaves on P with Chern character ξ. The computation hinges on finding a good resolution of the general sheaf in M(ξ). This resolution is determined by Bridgeland stability and arises from a well-chosen Beilinson spectral sequence. The existence of a goo...
متن کاملEFFECTIVE DIVISORS ON Mg, CURVES ON K3 SURFACES, AND THE SLOPE CONJECTURE
In this paper we use the geometry of curves lying on K3 surfaces in order to obtain a number of results about effective divisors on the moduli space of stable curves Mg. We begin by showing two statements on the slopes of such divisors: first that the HarrisMorrison Slope Conjecture fails to hold on M10 and second, that in order to compute the slope of Mg for g ≤ 23, one only has to look at the...
