On instability of Syzygy Bundles
Snehajit Misra
TL;DR
This paper studies how the (semi)stability of syzygy bundles $M_E$ attached to globally generated vector bundles $E$ on smooth projective varieties changes under polarization. It establishes a criterion that, by twisting and removing a fixed divisor $S$, can produce a destabilizing subbundle $M_{E(d)\otimes \mathcal{O}_X(-S)}$ of $M_{E(d)}$ for large twists when a certain quadratic form in $d$ is positive. On surfaces with Picard number at least $3$ and with an effective cone generated by curves meeting at most once, the authors prove that for any such $E$ with ample determinant $D$, there exists an ample $A$ so that $M_{E(d)}$ is not $A$-stable for $d\gg0$, extending instability phenomena from toric cases to higher rank bundles. This advances understanding of moduli and Brill-Noether-type phenomena for syzygy bundles in higher dimensions and under varying polarizations.
Abstract
In this article, we investigate the instability of syzygy bundles corresponding to globally generated vector bundles on smooth irreducible projective surfaces under change of polarization.
