Title: P-stability and moduli spaces on elliptic surfaces
Abstract: In a joint work with G. Hein, we use P-stability on the
derived category of a smooth elliptic K3 surface to reconstruct moduli
spaces of \mu-semistable sheaves with given Mukai vector. This allows to
describe the birational maps between different moduli spaces, to determine
whether such maps are isomorphisms or Mukai flops, and to show that such
moduli spaces have always isomorphic Picard groups.

Title: Sheaves on surfaces and generating functions
Abstract:The talk will discuss the computation of the generating functions of the Betti numbers of the moduli space of stable sheaves of rank 3 on the projective plane P2 and its blow-up. Wall-crossing is used to obtain the Betti numbers on the blow-up. The Betti numbers for P2 follow from those for the blow-up by the blow-up formula. The generating functions are
expressed in terms of modular functions and indefinite theta functions.
