Abstract

We obtain explicit formulas for capped descendent vertex functions of Hilbn(C2)\text{Hilb}^n(\mathbb{C}^2) for descendents given by the exterior algebra of the tautological bundle. This formula provides a one-parametric deformation of the generating function for normalized Macdonald polynomials. In particular, we show that the capped vertex functions are rational functions of the quantum parameter.
