New irreducible components of $\mathcal{B}(0,c_2)$ and Computation of the Dimension of its tangent space

TL;DR
The paper investigates the moduli spaces $\mathcal{B}(e,c_2)$ of stable rank-2 bundles on $\mathbb{P}^3$, combining monad techniques and Serre correspondence with explicit Ext computations to map tangent spaces and locate new components. Using Macaulay2, it computes $\dim \operatorname{Ext}^1(\mathcal{E},\mathcal{E})$ for bundles arising from minimal Horrocks monads, obtaining a concrete instance with $\dim \mathrm{Ext}^1=79$ and proving $\dim M_4=45$ for $\mathcal{B}(-1,6)$. The authors construct two infinite families, $\mathbf{V}_0$ and $\mathbf{V}_1$, of new irreducible components of $\mathcal{B}(0,c_2)$ by cohomology of minimal Horrocks monads with carefully chosen data, and they prove these components have dimensions exceeding the expected values, thus lying outside the classical Instanton, Ein, and Modified Instanton components. They further propose a general conjecture for monad families $\mathcal{M}(a,b,k)$ that yield new components for large $a$, giving evidence for $k=3,4$ and outlining a framework for higher $k$ with potential gaps in $c_2$ values. Overall, the work advances understanding of the global structure of $\mathcal{B}(e,c_2)$ by locating and characterizing new irreducible components and by providing computational tools to study tangent spaces.
Abstract
We provide a Macaulay2 code for computing the dimension of the tangent space to $\mathcal{B}(e,c_2)$ in certain cases. Using this code, we identify components of $\mathcal{B}(e,c_2)$ containing singular points and compute the dimension of the irreducible component $M_4$ of $\mathcal{B}(-1,6)$, whose existence was proved in \cite{MF2021}. Furthermore, we prove the existence of infinite families of irreducible components of $\mathcal{B}(0,c_2)$.
