Title

Brill-Noether divisors in the moduli spaces of sheaves on the plane

Abstract

I will discuss joint work with Jack Huizenga and Matthew Woolf, where we describe the effective cone of the moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on the plane. The calculation is inspired by Bridgeland stability and hinges on the classification of stable vector bundles on the plane. The fractal nature of the classification and the remarkable number-theoretic properties of exceptional slopes play an essential role in the calculation.
