Uniform boundedness of semistable pure sheaves on projective manifolds

We prove uniform boundedness statements for semistable pure sheaves on projective manifolds. For example, we prove that the set of isomorphism classes of pure sheaves of dimension 2 that are slope semistable with respect to ample classes that vary in a compact set K are bounded. We also prove uniform boundedness for pure sheaves of higher dimension, but with restrictions on the compact set K. As applications we get new statements about moduli spaces of semistable sheaves, and the wall-chamber structure that governs their variation.
