\section{Existing Bound on Semistabiliser Ranks} \label{subsect:loose-bound-on-r} The proof for the following Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r} was hinted at in \cite{SchmidtBenjamin2020Bsot}, but the value appears explicitly in \cite{SchmidtGithub2020} as shown in the following Listing % texlab: ignore \ref{fig:code:schmidt-bound}. The latter citation is a SageMath \cite{sagemath} library for computing certain quantities related to Bridgeland stabilities on Picard rank 1 varieties. It also includes functions to compute pseudo-walls and pseudo-semistabilisers for tilt stability. \lstinputlisting[ caption={\raggedleft Snippet from \cite{SchmidtGithub2020} \texttt{stability_conditions.tilt.walls_left}}, label={fig:code:schmidt-bound}, linerange=1-7, firstnumber=1015 ]{schmidt-snippet} \begin{theorem}[Bound on $r$ - Benjamin Schmidt] \label{thm:loose-bound-on-r} Let $X$ be a smooth projective Picard rank 1 surface with choice of ample line bundle $L$ such that $\ell\coloneqq c_1(L)$ generates $\neronseveri(X)$ and take $m\coloneqq \ell^2$. Given a Chern character $v$ with $\Delta(v) \geq 0$ and positive rank (or $\chern_0(v) = 0$ and $\chern_1(v) > 0$) such that $\beta_-\coloneqq\beta_{-}(v)\in\QQ$, the rank $r$ of any solution $u$ of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2} is bounded above by: \begin{equation*} r \leq \frac{m\left(n \chern^{\beta_-}_1(v) - 1\right)^2}{\gcd(m,2n^2)} \end{equation*} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} The Bogomolov form applied to the twisted Chern character is the same as the untwisted one. \noindent \begin{minipage}{0.57\linewidth} So $0 \leq \Delta(u)$ (condition 2 from Corollary \ref{cor:num_test_prob2}) yields: \begin{equation} \label{eqn-bgmlv-on-E} 2\chern_0(u) \chern^{\beta_{-}}_2(u) \leq \chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(u)^2 \end{equation} \noindent Furthermore, condition 5 from Corollary \ref{cor:num_test_prob2} gives: \begin{equation} \label{eqn-tilt-cat-cond} 0 < \chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(u) < \chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v) \end{equation} \noindent The induced restrictions on possible pairs $\chern^{\beta_-}_0(u)$ and $\chern^{\beta_-}_2(u)$, as well as conditions 1 and 6 from Corollary \ref{cor:num_test_prob2} are illustrated here on the right, with the invalid regions shaded. \end{minipage} \hfill \begin{minipage}{0.39\linewidth} %\label{prop:proof:fig:pseudowall-pos} \begin{center} \def\svgwidth{\linewidth} {\small \subimport{../figures/}{schmidt-arg-diag.pdf_tex} } \end{center} \vspace{3pt} \end{minipage} Currently, the unshaded region in the diagram above, corresponding to possible values for $\chern_0(u)$ and $\chern^{\beta_{-}}_2(u)$ that satisfy the currently considered restrictions, is unbounded. This is where the rationality of $\beta_{-}$ comes in. If $\beta_{-} = \frac{a_v}{n}$ for some $a_v,n \in \ZZ$, then we must have $\chern^{\beta_-}_2(u) \in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2n^2)}\ZZ$. In particular, since $\chern_2^{\beta_-}(u) > 0$ we have $\chern^{\beta_-}_2(u) \geq \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2n^2)}$, which then in turn gives a bound for the rank of $u$: \begin{align} \chern_0(u) & \leq \frac{\chern^{\beta_-}_1(u)^2}{2\chern^{\beta_{-}}_2(u)} \nonumber \\ & \leq \frac{\lcm(m,2n^2) \chern^{\beta_-}_1(u)^2}{2} \nonumber \\ & = \frac{mn^2 \chern^{\beta_-}_1(u)^2}{\gcd(m,2n^2)}. \label{proof:first-bound-on-r} \end{align} \noindent This can then immediately be bound using Equation \eqref{eqn-tilt-cat-cond}. Alternatively, given that $\chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(u)$, $\chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(v)\in\frac{1}{n}\ZZ$, we can tighten this bound on $\chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(u)$ given by that equation to: \[ n\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(u) \leq n\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v) - 1 \] allowing us to bound the expression in Equation \eqref{proof:first-bound-on-r} to the following: \[ \chern_0(u) \leq \frac{m\left(n \chern^{\beta_-}_1(v) - 1\right)^2}{\gcd(m,2n^2)} \] \end{proof} \begin{sagesilent} from examples import recurring \end{sagesilent} \begin{example}[$v=(3, 2\ell, -2)$ on $\PP^2$] \label{exmpl:recurring-first} Taking $\ell=c_1(\mathcal{O}(1))$ as the standard polarization on $\PP^2$, so that $m=1$, $\beta_-=\sage{recurring.betaminus}$, giving $n=\sage{recurring.n}$ and $\chern_1^{\sage{recurring.betaminus}}(F) = \sage{recurring.twisted.ch[1]}$. Using the above Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r}, we get that the ranks of tilt semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by $\sage{recurring.loose_bound}$. However, when computing all tilt semistabilisers for $v$ on $\PP^2$, the maximum rank that appears turns out to be 25. This will be a recurring example to illustrate the performance of later theorems about rank bounds \end{example} \begin{sagesilent} from examples import extravagant \end{sagesilent} \begin{example}[extravagant example: $v=(29, 13\ell, -3/2)$ on $\PP^2$] \label{exmpl:extravagant-first} Taking $\ell=c_1(\mathcal{O}(1))$ as the standard polarization on $\PP^2$, so that $m=1$, $\beta_-=\sage{extravagant.betaminus}$, giving $n=\sage{extravagant.n}$ and $\chern_1^{\sage{extravagant.betaminus}}(F) = \sage{extravagant.twisted.ch[1]}$. Using the above Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r}, we get that the ranks of tilt semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by $\sage{extravagant.loose_bound}$. However, when computing all tilt semistabilisers for $v$ on $\PP^2$, the maximum rank that appears turns out to be $\sage{round(extravagant.actual_rmax)}$. \end{example} \section{Tighter Bounds} \label{sec:refinement} To get tighter bounds on the rank of solutions $u$ to the Problems \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} and \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, we will need to consider each of the values which $\chern_1^{\beta}(u)$ can take. Doing this will allow us to eliminate possible values of $\chern_0(u)$ for which each possible value of $\chern_1^{\beta}(u)$ leads to the failure of at least one of the inequalities, as opposed to only eliminating possible values of $\chern_0(u)$ for which all corresponding $\chern_1^{\beta}(u)$ fail one of the inequalities (which is what was implicitly happening before in the proof of Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r}). To pursue this, we shall restate the earlier numerical characterisations of the problems from Lemma \ref{lem:num_test_prob1} and Corollary \ref{cor:num_test_prob2}, in a way which better fits our direction of travel. \begin{lemma} \label{lem:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion} Consider the Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} (or \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}), with choice of point $P=(\alpha_0,\beta_0)$ on $\Theta_v^{-}$ (or $\alpha_0=0$ and $\beta_0=\beta_{-}(v)$ resp.). \noindent If $u$ is a solution to the Problem then $u$ satisfies: \begin{equation} q\coloneqq \chern^{\beta_0}_1(u) \in \left( 0, \chern_1^{\beta_0}(v) \right) \label{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q} \qquad \text{and} \qquad \chern_0(u) > \frac{q}{\mu(v) - \beta_0}\cdot \end{equation} \noindent Conversely, any $u = (r,c\ell,d\ell^2)$ with $r,c\in \ZZ$ and $d\in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)}\ZZ$ satisfying the above Equations \eqref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q} is a solution to the Problem if and only if the following are satisfied: \begin{multicols}{3} \begin{itemize} \item $\Delta(u) \geq 0$ \item $\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$ \item $\chern^{\alpha_0,\beta_0}_2(u) \geq 0$ \end{itemize} \end{multicols} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Recalling Theorems \ref{lem:num_test_prob1} and \ref{cor:num_test_prob2}, solutions $u$ to the problem are given by $u=(r,c\ell,d\ell^2)$ with $r,c\in \ZZ$ and $d\in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)}\ZZ$ which satisfy six numerical conditions. The first line of Equation \eqref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q} is equivalent to numerical condition 5. The second line is a rearrangement of numerical condition 4, assuming $r>0$ which is given by the first numerical condition. Therefore any solution $u$ satisfies Equation \eqref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q}. But then Theorems \ref{lem:num_test_prob1} and \ref{cor:num_test_prob2}, also give that $u=(r,c\ell,d\ell^2)$ with $r,c\in \ZZ$ and $d\in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)}\ZZ$ satisfying Equation \eqref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q} is in fact a solution provided the remaining numerical conditions 1, 2, 3 and 6 are satisfied. This is in essence the second part of the lemma. \end{proof} \begin{corollary} \label{cor:rational-beta:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion} Consider the Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} (or \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}), with choice of point $P=(\alpha_0,\beta_0)$ on $\Theta_v^{-}$ (or $\alpha_0=0$ and $\beta_0=\beta_{-}(v)$ resp.), and suppose that $\beta_{0}$ is rational, and written $\beta_0=\frac{a_v}{n}$ for some coprime integers $a_v$, $n$ with $n>0$. Then any solution $u$ satisfies: \begin{align*} \chern^{\beta_0}_1(u) = \frac{b_q}{n}, \qquad a_v r & \equiv -b_q \pmod{n}, \quad \text{and} \qquad r > \frac{q}{\mu(v) - \beta_0} \end{align*} \[ \text{for some } b_q \in \left\{ 1, 2, \ldots, n\chern_1^{\beta_0}(v) - 1 \right\}. \] And any $u = (r,c\ell,d\ell^2)$ with $r,c\in \ZZ$ and $d\in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)}\ZZ$ satisfying these equations is a solution to the Problem if and only if, again, the following are satisfied: \begin{multicols}{3} \begin{itemize} \item $\Delta(u) \geq 0$ \item $\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$ \item $\chern^P_2(u) \geq 0$ \end{itemize} \end{multicols} \end{corollary} \begin{proof} This is a specialisation of Lemma \ref{lem:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion} with a modification to the statement \[ q\coloneqq \chern^{\beta_0}_1(u) \in \left( 0, \chern_1^{\beta_0}(v) \right) \] for the case where $\beta_0$ is rational. Taking $\beta_0 = \frac{a_v}{n}$ we have: \[ q\coloneqq\chern_1^{\beta_0}(u) = c - \frac{a_v}{n}r \in \frac{1}{n}\ZZ \] So $q=\frac{b_q}{n}$ for some $b_q \in \left\{ 1, 2, \ldots, n\chern_1^{\beta_0}(v) - 1 \right\}$ and then ${ nc - a_v r = b_q }$ and so ${ a_v r \equiv -b_q }$ modulo $n$. \end{proof} \subsection{Bounds on \texorpdfstring{`$d$'}{d}-values for Solutions of Problems} \label{subsec:bounds-on-d} Let $v$ be a Chern character with $\Delta(v)\geq 0$, $\chern_0(v)>0$, or $\chern_0(v)=0$ and $\chern_1(v)>0$, and consider Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} or \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}. Take $P=(\alpha_0,\beta_0)\in\Theta_v^-$ as the choice made in Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} (or $\beta_0 = \beta_{-}$ and $\alpha_0=0$ for Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}). Lemma \ref{lem:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion} states that any solution \begin{equation} u \coloneqq \:(r,c\ell,d\ell^2) \qquad \text{where $r,c\in \ZZ$ and $d\in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)}\ZZ$} \label{eqn:u-coords} \end{equation} to the Problem satisfies \[ q \coloneqq \chern_1^{\beta_0}(u) \in \left( 0, \chern_1^{\beta_0}(v) \right) \] and also gives a lower bound for $r$ when considering $u$ with a fixed $q$. This Section studies the extra numerical conditions that such $u$ must satisfy as given by Lemma \ref{lem:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion}, and will express them as bounds on $d$ in terms of $r$ (for a fixed $q$). These bounds will later be used in Subsections \ref{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-1} and \ref{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-2} to construct upper bounds on $r$ (in a similar way to how a bound on $\chern_0(u)$ was found in the proof of Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r} by considering bounds on $\chern^{\beta_0}_0(u)$ in terms of the former). \subsubsection{Radius of the pseudo-wall\texorpdfstring{: $\chern_2^P(u)>0$}{}} \label{subsect-d-bound-radiuscond} In the context of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, this condition, when rearranged to a bound on $d$, amounts to: \begin{equation} \label{eqn:radius-cond-betamin} \chern_2^{\beta_{-}}(u) > 0 \qquad \text{and} \qquad d > \frac{1}{2} {\beta_{-}}^2r + \beta_{-}q. \nonumber \end{equation} \begin{sagesilent} import other_P_choice as problem1 \end{sagesilent} In the case where we are tackling Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1}, with $P=(\alpha_0,\beta_0) \in \Theta_v^-$. Then $\sage{problem1.A2_subs}$ follows from $\chern_2^P(v)=0$. Using this substitution into the condition $\chern_2^P(u) = \sage{problem1.radius_condition_before_sub}$ yields: \begin{equation} \label{eqn:radius_condition} \sage{problem1.radius_condition} \end{equation} \noindent Expanding $\chern^{\beta_0}_2(u)$ in terms of $r$, $c$, $d$, and rearranging for $d$ then yields: \begin{equation} \label{eqn:radius_condition_d_bound} \sage{problem1.radius_condition_d_bound} \end{equation} \subsubsection{Semistability of the Semistabiliser: \texorpdfstring{ $\Delta(u) \geq 0$ }{ Δ(u) ≥ 0 } } Expressing $\Delta(u)\geq 0$ in terms of $q = \chern^{\beta_0}_1(u) = c - r\beta_0$, we get: \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import bgmlv2_with_q \end{sagesilent} \begin{equation} \sage{bgmlv2_with_q} \end{equation} \noindent Rearranging to express this as a bound on $d$, we get the following. Recall that $r>0$ is ensured by Equations \eqref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q}. \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import bgmlv2_d_ineq \end{sagesilent} \begin{equation} \label{eqn-bgmlv2_d_upperbound} \sage{bgmlv2_d_ineq.expand()} \end{equation} \subsubsection{Semistability of the Quotient: \texorpdfstring{ $\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$ }{ Δ(v-u) ≥ 0 } } \label{subsect-d-bound-bgmlv3} Expressing $\Delta(v-u)\geq 0$ in term of $q$ and rearranging as a bound on $d$ yields: \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms \end{sagesilent} \begin{equation} \label{eqn-bgmlv3_d_upperbound} d \leq \sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.linear} + \sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.const} \sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.hyperbolic}, \qquad \text{when }r>R. \end{equation} \noindent If $r=R$, then $\Delta(v-u)=(C-c)^2 \geq 0$ is always true, and for $r<R$ the expression on the right hand side of Equation \eqref{eqn-bgmlv3_d_upperbound} gives a lower bound for $d$ instead. However it is weaker than lower bound given by $\chern^P_2(u)>0$ if $u$ already satisfies Equations \eqref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q} as will be shown now: Since $r, R-r>0$, we have: \begin{equation} \label{lem:proof:slope-order-rltR} \max(\beta_0, \mu(u)) < \mu(v) < \mu(v-u) \end{equation} \noindent The first inequality coming from $P \in \Theta_v^{-}$ and Equation \eqref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q}, and the second inequality following by the see-saw principle. % TODO maybe cover the see-saw principle \begin{align*} \left( \frac{\chern^{\beta_0}_1(v-u)}{\chern_0(v-u)} \right)^2 & = \left( \mu(v-u) - \beta_0 \right)^2 \\ & > \left( \mu(v) - \beta_0 \right)^2 & \text{by Equation \eqref{lem:proof:slope-order-rltR}} \\ & = \left( \frac{\chern^{\beta_0}_1(v)}{\chern_0(v)} \right)^2 \\ & \geq 2 \frac{\chern^{\beta_0}_2(v)}{\chern_0(v)} & \text{since }\Delta(v) \geq 0 \:\text{and }\chern_0(v) > 0 \\ \text{So} \quad \frac{ \left( q-\chern^{\beta_0}_1(v) \right)^2 }{ \left( R-r \right)^2 } & > 2 \frac{\chern^{\beta_0}_2(v)}{R} & \text{and} \quad \chern_2^{\beta_0}(v) - \frac{ \left( q-\chern^{\beta_0}_1(v) \right)^2 }{ 2\left( R-r \right) } & < \frac{r\chern^{\beta_0}_2(v)}{R} \end{align*} \noindent Showing that the unique terms of Equation \eqref{eqn:radius_condition_d_bound} are greater than those of Equation \eqref{eqn-bgmlv3_d_upperbound}. \subsubsection{All Bounds on \texorpdfstring{$d$}{d} Together for Problem \texorpdfstring{\ref{problem:problem-statement-2}}{2}} \label{subsubsect:all-bounds-on-d-prob2} In the context of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, with $\beta_0=\beta_{-}(v)$, we have $\chern^{\beta_{-}(v)}_2(v)=0$, simplifying the bounds on $d$ calculated in this Subsection. So we conclude that final 3 conditions from Corollary \ref{cor:rational-beta:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion} for a potential solution to the problem of the form in Equation \eqref{eqn:u-coords}, amounts to the following: \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import bgmlv2_d_upperbound_terms \end{sagesilent} \begin{align} d & > \frac{1}{2}{\beta_0}^2 r + {\beta_0} q, \phantom{+} % to keep terms aligned & \qquad\text{when\:} r > 0 \label{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin} \\ d & \leq \sage{bgmlv2_d_upperbound_terms.problem2.linear} + \sage{bgmlv2_d_upperbound_terms.problem2.const} +\sage{bgmlv2_d_upperbound_terms.problem2.hyperbolic}, & \qquad\text{when\:} r > 0 \label{eqn:bgmlv2_d_bound_betamin} \\ d & \leq \sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.problem2.linear} + \sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.problem2.const} % ^ ch_2^\beta(F)=0 for beta_{-} \sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.problem2.hyperbolic}, & \qquad\text{when\:} r > R \label{eqn:bgmlv3_d_bound_betamin} \end{align} Recalling that $q \coloneqq \chern^{\beta}_1(u) \in (0, \chern^{\beta}_1(v))$, it is worth noting that the extreme values of $q$ in this range lead to the tightest bounds on $d$. Small values of $q$ brings Equation \eqref{eqn:bgmlv2_d_bound_betamin} closer to Equation \eqref{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin}, and larger values of $q$ brings Equation \eqref{eqn:bgmlv3_d_bound_betamin} closer to Equation \eqref{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin}. For a generic case, when $0 < q\coloneqq\chern_1^{\beta}(u) < \chern_1^{\beta}(v)$, the bounds on $d$ in terms of $r$ is illustrated in Figure (\ref{fig:d_bounds_xmpl_gnrc_q}). The question of whether there are pseudo-semistabilisers of arbitrarily large rank, in the context of the graph, comes down to whether there are points $(r,d) \in \ZZ \oplus \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)} \ZZ$ (with large $r$) that fit above the yellow line (ensuring positive radius of wall) but below the blue and green (ensuring $\Delta(u), \Delta(v-u) > 0$). These lines have the same assymptote at $r \to \infty$ (Equations \eqref{eqn:bgmlv2_d_bound_betamin}, \eqref{eqn:bgmlv3_d_bound_betamin}, \eqref{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin}). As mentioned in the introduction to this Part, the finiteness of these solutions is entirely determined by whether $\beta_{-}$ is rational or irrational. This will be pursued in Subsection \ref{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-2}. \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import typical_bounds_on_d \end{sagesilent} \begin{figure} \centering \sageplot[width=\linewidth]{typical_bounds_on_d} \caption{ Bounds on $d\coloneqq\chern_2(u)$ in terms of $r\coloneqq \chern_0(u)$ for a fixed value $\chern_1^{\beta}(v)/2$ of $q\coloneqq\chern_1^{\beta}(u)$.

This is because $R\coloneqq\chern_0(v)$ and $\chern_2^{\beta_0}(v)$ are all strictly positive: \begin{itemize} \item $R > 0$ from the setting of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} \item $\chern_2^{\beta_0}(v)>0$ by Lemma \ref{lem:comparison-test-with-beta_} because ${\beta_0} < \beta_{-}$ due to the choice of $P$ being a point on $\Theta_v^{-}$ \end{itemize} This means that the lower bound for $d$ will be larger than either of the two upper bounds for sufficiently large $r$, and hence those values of $r$ would yield no solution to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1}. A generic example of this is plotted in Figure \ref{fig:problem1:d_bounds_xmpl_gnrc_q}, and bounds for $r$ following from this idea will be pursued in Subsection \ref{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-1}. \subsection{Bounds on Semistabiliser Rank \texorpdfstring{$r$}{} in Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1}} \label{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-1} As discussed at the end of Subsection \ref{subsubsect:all-bounds-on-d-prob1} (and illustrated in Figure \ref{fig:problem1:d_bounds_xmpl_gnrc_q}), there are no solutions $u$ to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} with large $r=\chern_0(u)$, since the lower bound on $d=\chern_2(u)$ is larger than the upper bounds. Therefore, we can calculate upper bounds on $r$ by calculating for which values, the lower bound on $d$ is equal to one of the upper bounds on $d$ (i.e. finding certain intersection points of the graph in Figure \ref{fig:problem1:d_bounds_xmpl_gnrc_q}). \begin{theorem}[Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} upper Bound on $r$] \label{lem:prob1:r_bound} Let $u$ be a solution to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} and $q\coloneqq\chern_1^{B}(u)$. Then $r\coloneqq\chern_0(u)$ is bounded above by the following expression: \begin{equation} \sage{problem1.r_bound_expression} \end{equation} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Lemma \ref{lem:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion} gives us that any solution $u$ must be of the form in Equation \eqref{eqn:u-coords} and satisfy Equations \eqref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q} as well as the three conditions $\chern^P_2(u)>0$, $\Delta(u) \geq 0$, and $\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$. Subsection \ref{subsec:bounds-on-d} equates these latter three conditions (provided Equations \eqref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q}) to upper bounds on $d$ given by Equations \eqref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv2} and \eqref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv3}; and one lower bound given by Equation \eqref{eqn:prob1:radiuscond}. Solving for the lower bound in Equation \eqref{eqn:prob1:radiuscond} being less than the upper bound in Equation \eqref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv2} yields: \begin{equation} r<\sage{problem1.positive_intersection_bgmlv2} \end{equation} \noindent Similarly, but with the upper bound in Equation \eqref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv3}, gives: \begin{equation} r<\sage{problem1.positive_intersection_bgmlv3} \end{equation} \noindent Therefore, $r$ is bounded above by the minimum of these two expressions which can then be factored into the expression given in the Lemma. \end{proof} The above Lemma \ref{lem:prob1:r_bound} gives an upper bound on $r$ in terms of $q$. But given that $0 < q < \chern_1^{\beta_0}(v)$, we can take the maximum of this bound, over $q$ in this range, to get a simpler (but weaker) bound in the following Lemma \ref{lem:prob1:convenient_r_bound}. \begin{theorem}[Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} global upper Bound on $r$] \label{lem:prob1:convenient_r_bound} Let $u$ be a solution to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1}. Then $r\coloneqq\chern_0(u)$ is bounded above by the following expression: \begin{equation} \sage{problem1.r_max} \end{equation} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} The first term of the minimum in Lemma \ref{lem:prob1:r_bound} increases linearly in $q$, and the second decreases linearly. So the maximum is achieved with the value of $q=q_{\mathrm{max}}$ where they are equal. Solving for the two terms in the minimum to be equal yields: $q_{\mathrm{max}}=\sage{problem1.maximising_q}$. Substituting $q=q_{\mathrm{max}}$ into the bound in Lemma \ref{lem:prob1:r_bound} gives the bound as stated in the current Lemma. \end{proof} \begin{remark} $q_{\mathrm{max}} > 0$ is immediate from the expression, but $q_{\mathrm{max}} \leq \chern_1^{B}(v)$ is equivalent to $\Delta(v) \geq 0$, which is true by assumption in this setting. \end{remark} \subsection{Bounds on Semistabiliser Rank \texorpdfstring{$r$}{} in Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}} \label{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-2} Now, the inequalities from the above Subsubsection \ref{subsubsect:all-bounds-on-d-prob2} will be used to find, for each given $q=\chern^{\beta}_1(E)$, how large $r$ needs to be in order to leave no possible solutions for $d$ in the context of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}. At that point, there are no solutions $u=(r,c\ell,d\ell^2)$ to the Problem. In the context of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, $\beta_{-}(v)$ is assumed to be rational. Considering Corollary \ref{cor:rational-beta:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion}, for any solution $u$, we have $q\coloneqq\chern^{\beta_{-}(v)}(u) = \frac{b_q}{n}$ where $\beta_{-}(v) = \frac{a_v}{n}$ in lowest terms and $b_q$ is an integer between 1 and $n\chern_1^{\beta_0}(v) - 1$ (inclusive), and $a_v r \equiv -b_q \pmod{n}$. The Corollary then gives a lower bound for $r$, and states that any $u$ of the form from Equation \eqref{eqn:u-coords} satisfying these conditions so far, is a solution to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2} if and only if it satisfies the conditions $\chern^{\beta_{-}(v)}(u)>0$, $\Delta(u) \geq 0$, and $\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$. \renewcommand{\aa}{{a_v}} \newcommand{\bb}{{b_q}} Substituting more specialised values of $q$ and $\beta_0=\beta_{-}(v)$ into the condition $\chern^{\beta_0}(u) > 0$ (Equation \eqref{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin}) we get: \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import \ positive_radius_condition_with_q, \ q_value_expr, \ beta_value_expr \end{sagesilent} \begin{equation} \label{eqn:positive_rad_condition_in_terms_of_q_beta} \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)}\ZZ \ni \:\: \sage{positive_radius_condition_with_q.subs([q_value_expr,beta_value_expr]).factor()} \:\: \in \frac{1}{2n^2}\ZZ \end{equation} \noindent This fact will be leveraged to give tighter lower bounds in a similar way to the proof of Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r}. \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import main_theorem1, betamin_subs \end{sagesilent} \begin{theorem}[First bound on $r$ for Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}] \label{thm:rmax_with_uniform_eps} Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface with Picard rank 1 and choice of ample line bundle $L$ with $c_1(L)$ generating $\neronseveri(X)$ and $m\coloneqq\ell^2$. Let $v$ be a fixed Chern character on this surface with positive rank (or rank 0 and $c_1(v)>0$), and $\Delta(v)\geq 0$. Then the ranks of the pseudo-semistabilisers $u$ for $v$, which are solutions to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, with $\chern_1^{\beta_{-}(v)}(u) = q$ are bounded above by the following expression. \begin{align*} \min \left( \sage{main_theorem1.r_upper_bound1.subs(betamin_subs)}, \:\: \sage{main_theorem1.r_upper_bound2.subs(betamin_subs)} \right) \end{align*} \noindent where $R\coloneqq \chern_0(v)$. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Both $d$ and the lower bound in (Equation \eqref{eqn:positive_rad_condition_in_terms_of_q_beta}) are elements of $\frac{1}{\lcm(m,2n^2)}\ZZ$. So, if any of the two upper bounds on $d$ come to within $\epsilon_v \coloneqq \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2n^2)}$ of this lower bound, then there are no solutions for $d$. Hence any corresponding $r$ cannot be a rank of a pseudo-semistabiliser for $v$. To avoid this, we must have, considering Equations \eqref{eqn:bgmlv2_d_bound_betamin}, \eqref{eqn:bgmlv3_d_bound_betamin}, \eqref{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin}. \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import \ assymptote_gap_condition1, assymptote_gap_condition2, k \end{sagesilent} \begin{align} \epsilon_v = & \sage{assymptote_gap_condition1.subs(k==1)} \\ \epsilon_v = & \sage{assymptote_gap_condition2.subs(k==1)} \end{align} \noindent This is equivalent to: \begin{equation} \label{eqn:thm-bound-for-r-impossible-cond-for-r} r \leq \min\left( \sage{ main_theorem1.r_upper_bound1 } , \sage{ main_theorem1.r_upper_bound2 } \right) \end{equation} \end{proof} \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import q_sol, bgmlv_v, psi \end{sagesilent} \begin{corollary}[Second, global bound on $r$ for Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}] \label{cor:direct_rmax_with_uniform_eps} Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface with Picard rank 1 and choice of ample line bundle $L$ with $c_1(L)$ generating $\neronseveri(X)$ and $m\coloneqq\ell^2$. Let $v$ be a fixed Chern character on this surface and $R\coloneqq\chern_0(v)$. Then the ranks of the pseudo-semistabilisers $u$ of $v$, which are solutions to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, are bounded above as follows. \begin{align*} r & \leq \sage{main_theorem1.corollary_r_bound} & \text{if } R < \frac{\Delta(v)\lcm(m,2n^2)}{2m} \\ r & \leq \frac{\Delta(v)\lcm(m,2n^2)}{2m} & \text{if } R \geq \frac{\Delta(v)\lcm(m,2n^2)}{2m} \end{align*} \end{corollary} \begin{proof} The ranks of the pseudo-semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by the maximum over $q\in [0, \chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(v)]$ of the expression in Theorem \ref{thm:rmax_with_uniform_eps}. Noticing that the expression is a maximum of two quadratic functions in $q$ ($\beta_0=\beta_{-}(v)$ in this context): \begin{equation*} f_1(q)\coloneqq\sage{main_theorem1.r_upper_bound1} \qquad f_2(q)\coloneqq\sage{main_theorem1.r_upper_bound2} \end{equation*} These have their minimums at $q=0$ and $q=\chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(v)$ respectively, with values 0 and $R>0$ respectively. So provided that $f_2\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right) < f_1\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right)$, the maximum is achieved at their intersection. Otherwise, the maximum is achieved at $\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)$. So we can say that \begin{align*} r & \leq f_{1}(q_{\mathrm{max}}) & \text{if } f_2\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right) < f_1\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right) \\ && \text{where $q_{\mathrm{max}}$ is the $q$-value where the $f_i$ intersect} \\ r & \leq f_1\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}(v)\right) & \text{if } f_2\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right) \geq f_1\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right) \end{align*} \noindent In the first case, solving for $f_1(q)=f_2(q)$ yields \begin{equation*} q=\sage{q_sol.expand()} \end{equation*} And evaluating $f_1$ at this $q$-value gives: \begin{equation*} \sage{main_theorem1.corollary_intermediate} \end{equation*} \noindent Finally, noting that $\Delta(v)=\left(\chern_1^{\beta_{-}(v)}(v)\right)^2\ell^2$, we get the bounds as stated in the statement of the Corollary. \end{proof} \begin{example}[$v=(3, 2\ell, -2)$ on $\PP^2$] \label{exmpl:recurring-second} Just like in Example \ref{exmpl:recurring-first}, take $\ell=c_1(\mathcal{O}(1))$ as the standard polarization on $\PP^2$, so that $m=2$, $\beta=\sage{recurring.betaminus}$, giving $n=\sage{recurring.n}$. Using the above Corollary \ref{cor:direct_rmax_with_uniform_eps}, we get that the ranks of tilt semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by $\sage{recurring.corrolary_bound} \approx \sage{round(float(recurring.corrolary_bound), 1)}$, which is much closer to real maximum 25 than the original bound 144. \end{example} \begin{example}[extravagant example: $v=(29, 13\ell, -3/2)$ on $\PP^2$] \label{exmpl:extravagant-second} Just like in Example \ref{exmpl:extravagant-first}, take $\ell=c_1(\mathcal{O}(1))$ as the standard polarization on $\PP^2$, so that $m=2$, $\beta=\sage{extravagant.betaminus}$, giving $n=\sage{extravagant.n}$. Using the above Corollary \ref{cor:direct_rmax_with_uniform_eps}, we get that the ranks of tilt semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by $\sage{extravagant.corrolary_bound} \approx \sage{round(float(extravagant.corrolary_bound), 1)}$, which is much closer to real maximum $\sage{extravagant.actual_rmax}$ than the original bound 215296. \end{example} %% refinements using specific values of q and beta These bound can be refined a bit more by considering restrictions from the possible values that $r$ take. Furthermore, the proof of Theorem \ref{thm:rmax_with_uniform_eps} uses the fact that, given an element of $\frac{1}{2n^2}\ZZ$, the closest non-equal element of $\frac{1}{2}\ZZ$ is at least $\frac{1}{2n^2}$ away. However this a conservative estimate, and a larger gap can sometimes be guaranteed if we know this value of $\frac{1}{2n^2}\ZZ$ explicitly. The expressions that will follow will be a bit more complicated and have more parts which depend on the values of $q$ and $\beta$, even their numerators $\aa,\bb$ specifically. The upcoming Theorem \ref{thm:rmax_with_eps1} is less useful as a `clean' formula for a bound on the ranks of the pseudo-semistabilisers, but has a purpose in the context of writing a computer program to find pseudo-semistabilisers. Such a program would iterate through possible values of $q$, then iterate through values of $r$ within the bounds (dependent on $q$), which would then determine $c$, and then find the corresponding possible values for $d$. Next, we seek to find a larger $\epsilon$ to use in place of $\epsilon_v$ in the proof of Theorem \ref{thm:rmax_with_uniform_eps}: \begin{lemmadfn}[% A better alternative to $\epsilon_v$: $\epsilon_{v,q}$ ] \label{lemdfn:epsilon_q} Suppose $d \in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2n^2)}\ZZ$ satisfies the condition in Equation \eqref{eqn:positive_rad_condition_in_terms_of_q_beta}. That is: \begin{equation*} \sage{positive_radius_condition_with_q.subs([q_value_expr,beta_value_expr]).factor()} \qquad \text{for some integers } a_v, b_q, n \:\text{with }(a_v, n)=1 \end{equation*} \noindent And $r$ satisfies $\aa r + \bb \equiv 0 \pmod{n}$, then we have: \begin{equation} \label{eqn:epsilon_q_lemma_prop} d - \frac{(\aa r + 2\bb)\aa}{2n^2} \geq \epsilon_{v,q} \geq \epsilon_v > 0 \end{equation} \noindent Where $\epsilon_{v,q}$ is defined as follows: \begin{equation*} \epsilon_{v,q} \coloneqq \frac{k_{q}}{\lcm(m,2n^2)} \end{equation*} with $k_{v,q}$ being the least $k\in\ZZ_{>0}$ satisfying \begin{equation*} k \equiv -\aa\bb \frac{m}{\gcd(m,2n^2)} \mod{\gcd\left( \frac{n^2\gcd(m,2)}{\gcd(m,2n^2)}, \frac{mn\aa}{\gcd(m,2n^2)} \right)} \end{equation*} \end{lemmadfn} \begin{remark} The quantity $m$ is determined by the variety, whereas $a_v$ and $n$ are determined by the Chern character $v$ for which we are trying to find pseudo-semistabilisers. So the $\gcd$ expression we are taking the modulus with respect to is considered constant in the context of the problem we are solving for (i.e. Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}). However $b_q$ depends on the choice of $q$, that is the value of $\chern_1^{\beta_{-}(v)}(u)$ for which we are searching for solutions $u$, hence why $k_{v,q}$ is denoted to depend on $q$ on top of $v$ and the context of the problem. \end{remark} \begin{proof} Consider the following sequence of logical implications. The one-way implication follows from $\aa r + \bb \equiv 0 \pmod{n}$, and the final logical equivalence is just a simplification of the expressions. \begin{align} \frac{ x }{ \lcm(m,2) } - \frac{ (\aa r+2\bb)\aa }{ 2n^2 } = \frac{ k }{ \lcm(m,2n^2) } \quad \text{for some } x \in \ZZ \span \span \span \span \span \label{eqn:finding_better_eps_problem} \\ \nonumber \\ \Leftrightarrow& & - (\aa r+2\bb)\aa \frac{\lcm(m,2n^2)}{2n^2} & \equiv k & & \nonumber \\ &&& \mod \frac{\lcm(m,2n^2)}{\lcm(m,2)} \span \span \span \nonumber \\ \Rightarrow& & - \bb\aa \frac{\lcm(m,2n^2)}{2n^2} & \equiv k & & \nonumber \\ &&& \mod \gcd\left( \frac{\lcm(m,2n^2)}{\lcm(m,2)}, \frac{n \aa \lcm(m,2n^2)}{2n^2} \right) \span \span \span \nonumber \\ \Leftrightarrow& & - \bb\aa \frac{m}{\gcd(m,2n^2)} & \equiv k & & \label{eqn:better_eps_problem_k_mod_n} \\ &&& \mod \gcd\left( \frac{n^2\gcd(m,2)}{\gcd(m,2n^2)}, \frac{mn \aa}{\gcd(m,2n^2)} \right) \span \span \span \nonumber \end{align} In our situation, we want to find the least $k>0$ satisfying Equation \eqref{eqn:finding_better_eps_problem}. Since such a $k$ must also satisfy Equation \eqref{eqn:better_eps_problem_k_mod_n}, we can pick the smallest $k_{q,v} \in \ZZ_{>0}$ which satisfies this new condition (a computation only depending on $q$ and $\beta$, but not $r$). We are then guaranteed that $k_{v,q}$ is less than any $k$ satisfying Equation \eqref{eqn:finding_better_eps_problem}, giving the first inequality in Equation \eqref{eqn:epsilon_q_lemma_prop}. Furthermore, $k_{v,q}\geq 1$ gives the second part of the inequality: $\epsilon_{v,q}\geq\epsilon_v$, with equality when $k_{v,q}=1$. \end{proof} \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import main_theorem2 \end{sagesilent} \begin{theorem}[Third bound on $r$ for Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}] \label{thm:rmax_with_eps1} Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface with Picard rank 1 and choice of ample line bundle $L$ with $c_1(L)$ generating $\neronseveri(X)$ and $m\coloneqq\ell^2$. Let $v$ be a fixed Chern character on this surface with positive rank (or rank 0 and $c_1(v)>0$), and $\Delta(v)\geq 0$. Then the ranks of the pseudo-semistabilisers $u$ for $v$, which are solutions to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, with $\chern_1^{\beta_{-}(v)}(u) = q$ are bounded above by the following expression: \begin{align*} \min \left( \sage{main_theorem2.r_upper_bound1.subs(betamin_subs)}, \:\: \sage{main_theorem2.r_upper_bound2.subs(betamin_subs)} \right), \end{align*} where $k_{v,q}$ is defined as in Definition/Lemma \ref{lemdfn:epsilon_q}, and $R = \chern_0(v)$ \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Following the same proof as Theorem \ref{thm:rmax_with_uniform_eps}, $\epsilon_{v,q} = \frac{k_{v,q}}{\lcm(m, 2n^2)}$ can be used instead of $\epsilon_{v} = \frac{1}{\lcm(m, 2n^2)}$ as it satisfies the same required property, as per Definition/Lemma \ref{lemdfn:epsilon_q}. \end{proof} Although the general form of this bound is quite complicated, it does simplify a lot when $m$ is small. \begin{sagesilent} from plots_and_expressions import main_theorem2_corollary \end{sagesilent} \begin{corollary}[Third bound on $r$ on $\PP^2$ and principally polarised abelian surfaces] \label{cor:rmax_with_eps1} Suppose we are working over $\PP^2$ or a principally polarised abelian surface with $\mathrm{Pic}(\ppas) = \ZZ\ell$ (or any other surfaces with $m=\ell^2=1$ or $2$).

This example was chosen because the $n$ value is moderatly large, giving more possible values for $k_{v,q}$, in Definition/Lemma \ref{lemdfn:epsilon_q}. This allows for a larger possible difference between the bounds given by Theorems \ref{thm:rmax_with_uniform_eps} and \ref{thm:rmax_with_eps1}, with the bound from the second being up to $\sage{n}$ times smaller, for any given $q$ value.
