%0 Journal Article %T Symplectic structures on moduli spaces of framed sheaves on surfaces %A Francesco Sala %J Mathematics %D 2011 %I arXiv %R 10.2478/s11533-012-0063-1 %X We provide generalizations of the notions of Atiyah class and Kodaira-Spencer map to the case of framed sheaves. Moreover, we construct closed two-forms on the moduli spaces of framed sheaves on surfaces. As an application, we define a symplectic structure on the moduli spaces of framed sheaves on some birationally ruled surfaces. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.3542v2
