Properness criteria for families of coherent analytic sheaves

We extend Langton's valuative criterion for families of coherent algebraic sheaves to a complex analytic set-up. As a consequence we derive a set of sufficient conditions for the compactness of a moduli space of semistable sheaves over a compact complex manifold. This applies also to some cases appearing in complex projective geometry not covered by previous results.
