Stable toric sheaves. I : Chern classes · arXivDesk
2510.14651Oct 16, 2025Proposition 2.6 has been improved : we reduce Hartshorne's conjecture in the semistable case to the non-existence of smoothable toric sheaves, removing the assumption on the first Chern class from the previous version
We study rank 2 torus-equivariant torsion-free sheaves on the complex projective space. For reflexive sheaves we derive a simple formula for the Chern polynomial, and in the general torsion-free case we introduce an iterative construction method based on elementary injections, allowing us to prescribe Chern classes. This yields infinite families of explicit examples on P4 and P5, and establishes existence on Pn

, with Chern classes satisfying all known constraints arising from locally freeness and indecomposability. We also provide simple obstructions for smoothability.
