Abstract

We construct a stratification of the punctual Hilbert scheme of points on a non-reduced and nodal plane curve, xuyv=0x^uy^v=0. Each stratum is indexed by a new combinatorial object we define: a weak diagonal partition. The approach is based on introducing filtrations on ideals, together with a valuation adapted to the non-reduced structure, which allows us to analyze generators and their degrees of freedom in a systematic way. In particular, each stratum is affine when u=1,2u=1,2; and each stratum is isomorphic to an algebraic torus times an affine space, (C)m1×Cm2(\mathbb{C}^*)^{m_1} \times \mathbb{C}^{m_2}, when u=v,v1,v2u=v,v-1,v-2. We consequently compute the Poincar\'e polynomials of the punctual Hilbert scheme of points on curves xuyv=0x^uy^v=0 when u=1,2,v2,v1,vu=1,2,v-2,v-1,v. As an application, we prove the colored Oblomkov-Rasmussen-Shende conjecture for the Hopf link for u=1,vu=1, v arbitrary, showing that the Poincar\'e polynomial is the row-colored link homology up to change of variables.
