Abstract

Moduli spaces of sheaves and Hilbert schemes of points have experienced a recent resurgence in interest in the past several years, due largely to new techniques arising from Bridgeland stability conditions and derived category methods. In particular, classical questions about the birational geometry of these spaces can be answered by using new tools such as the positivity lemma of Bayer and Macri`. In this article we first survey classical results on moduli spaces of sheaves and their birational geometry. We then discuss the relationship between these classical results and the new techniques coming from Bridgeland stability, and discuss how cones of ample divisors on these spaces can be computed with these new methods. This survey expands upon the author's talk at the 2015 Bootcamp in Algebraic Geometry preceding the 2015 AMS Summer Research Institute on Algebraic Geometry at the University of Utah.
