Abstract
Let be a zero-dimensional subscheme of the affine three-dimensional complex space of length . Okounkov and Pandharipande have conjectured that the dimension of the tangent space of at and have the same parity. The conjecture was proven by Maulik, Nekrasov, Okounkov and Pandharipande for points defined by monomial ideals and very recently by Ramkumar and Sammartano for homogeneous ideals. In this paper we exhibit a family of zero-dimensional schemes in , which disproves the conjecture in the general non-homogeneous case.
