Tautological sheaves: Stability, moduli spaces and restrictions to generalised Kummer varieties

Abstract

Results on stability of tautological sheaves on Hilbert schemes of points are extended to higher dimensions and to the restriction of tautological sheaves to generalised Kummer varieties. This provides a big class of new examples of stable sheaves on higher dimensional irreducible symplectic manifolds. Some aspects of deformations of tautological sheaves are studied.
