Hecke correspondences for smooth moduli spaces of sheaves

We define functors on the derived category of the moduli space ℳ of stable sheaves on a smooth projective surface (under Assumptions A and S below), and prove that these functors satisfy certain commutation relations. These relations allow us to prove that the given functors induce an action of the elliptic Hall algebra on the K\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$K$\end{document}-theory of the moduli space ℳ, thus generalizing the action studied by Nakajima, Grojnowski and Baranovsky in cohomology.
