On the Versal Resolutions of Deformations of Rational Double Points.
We prove that the well-known Harder-Narsimhan filtration theory for bundles over a complex curve and the theory of optimal destabilizing -parameter subgroups are the same thing when considered in the gauge theoretical framework.Indeed, the classical concepts of the GIT theory are still effective in this context and the Harder-Narasimhan filtration can be viewed as a limit object for the action of the gauge group, in the direction of an optimal destabilizing vector. This vector appears as an extremal...
