Abstract

Let \({(X,{\mathcal{O}}_X(1))}\) be a polarized smooth projective variety over the complex numbers. Fix \({{\mathcal{D}} \in {\mathrm{coh}}(X)}\) and a nonnegative rational polynomial \({\delta}\). Using GIT we contruct a coarse moduli space for \({\delta}\)-semistable pairs \({({\mathcal{E}},\varphi)}\) consisting of a coherent sheaf \({{\mathcal{E}}}\) and a homomorphism \({\varphi \colon {\mathcal{D}} \rightarrow {\mathcal{E}}}\). We prove a chamber structure result and establish a connection to the moduli space of coherent systems constructed by Le Potier in (Faisceaux semi-stable et systèmes cohérents. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1995; Systèmes cohérents et structures de niveau. Astérisque 214, 1993).
