A remark on some punctual Quot schemes on smooth projective curves

Algebraic Geometry 2025-05-15 v2

Abstract

For a locally free sheaf E\mathcal{E} on a smooth projective curve, we can define the punctual Quot scheme which parametrizes torsion quotients of E\mathcal{E} of length nn supported at a fixed point. It is known that the punctual Quot scheme is a normal projective variety with canonical Gorenstein singularities. In this note, we show that the punctual Quot scheme is a Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial Fano variety of Picard number one.
