# fundamental group of moduli spaces of sheaves

I am considering moduli spaces of sheaves on irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds. I haven't seen a general theory to describe the fundamental group of moduli spaces of sheaves yet. Is there such a theory? What does it mean to have a loop in such a space? Is there any connection to nonabelian Hodge theory?

Dear Malte, it's probably a good idea to add a more general relevant tag to your question, say ag.algebraic-geometry. That way, people who only read questions with that tag will see it too. – user5117 Nov 26 '10 at 14:00

The second way is more vague. One could say a map from any topological space $T$ to the stack of sheaves on $X$ is a sheaf of vector spaces on $X \times T$ such that over each point in $T$ it is a coherent sheaf on $X$ with the appropriate restrictions. But then one wants it to be flat over $T$ somehow. Once this is defined you can define homotopy groups in the usual way. They are not going to be sets though unless you mod out by some isomorphisms between sheaves.
