Abstract

G\"ottsche gave a formula for the dimension of the cohomology of Hilbert schemes of points on a smooth projective surface SS. When SS admits an action by a finite group GG, we describe the action of GG on the Hodge structure. In the case that SS is a K3 surface, each element of GG gives a trace on n=0i=0(1)iHi(S[n],C)qn\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{i}H^{i}(S^{[n]},\mathbb{C})q^{n}. When GG acts faithfully and symplectically on SS, the resulting generating function is of the form q/f(q)q/f(q), where f(q)f(q) is a cusp form. We relate the Hodge structure of Hilbert schemes of points to the Hodge structure of the compactified Jacobian of the tautological family of curves over an integral linear system on a K3 surface as GG-representations. Finally, we give a sufficient condition for a GG-orbit of curves with nodal singularities not to contribute to the representation.
