   Format: MarkdownItexI have added a bit more of an actual statement to _[[ Narasimhan–Seshadri theorem]]_. I followed Jonathan Evans's good idea (linked to in the entry) to highlight that for line bundles on surfaces this is what ought to be called the _[[Hodge-Maxwell theorem]]_; and I created a brief entry for that.

   Format: MarkdownItexSome of the business about numerical invariants like rank and degree inducing corresponding filtrations needing to do the strata of moduli spaces are invented by Grothendieck in [[FGA]] when introducing moduli spaces like Quot, Pic, Hilbert schemes. See the modern era remake [[FGA explained]], n particular the chapter * Nitin Nitsure, Construction of Hilbert and [[Quot scheme]]s (105--137) [MR2223407](http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=2223407); (draft [pdf](http://cdsagenda5.ictp.it//askArchive.php?categ=a0255&id=a0255s2t3&ifd=13837&down=1&type=lecture_notes)) Then Mumford introduced the stability in his works on [[geometric invarant theory]]. Urs, a small question -- I do not understand why the later Takemoto Nagoya references from 1972/1973 is claimed to have the original discovery as well ? I do not know the details, but probably you have some reason why you consider this an original reference about the notion ? I thought that we already had the related entry [[Harder-Narasimhan filtration]] but it does not look so under the inspection.

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks, Zoran. Right, so I guess you saw me start to create stubs for * [[degree of a coherent sheaf]] * [[rank of a coherent sheaf]] * [[slope of a coherent sheaf]] * [[stable coherent sheaf]] etc. This is not done yet, clearly. Please add references as you happen to have them readily available. Regarding your question, I am not sure which entry the question refers to, sorry. But I am pretty sure that you know more about which author was first in this case, so please just go and fix it if you see the need.

   Format: MarkdownItexOK, I added a couple of lines at [[rank of a coherent sheaf]]. We do have a stub for [[Quot scheme]]. The entry [[stability]] is a disambiguation page and we do not have yet a [[Mumford stability]] page.
