A functorial construction of moduli of sheaves

Abstract

We show how natural functors from the category of coherent sheaves on a projective scheme to categories of Kronecker modules can be used to construct moduli spaces of semistable sheaves. This construction simplifies or clarifies technical aspects of existing constructions and yields new simpler definitions of theta functions, about which more complete results can be proved.

Slight change in the definition of the Kronecker algebra in Secs 1 (p3) and 2.2 (p6), with corresponding small alterations elsewhere, to make the constructions work for non-reduced schemes. Section 6.5 rewritten. Remark 2.6 and new references added
