Hilbert schemes of elliptic surfaces: group actions and derived categories

Algebraic Geometry 2025-10-01 v2

Abstract

Let XCX\to C be an elliptic surface with integral fibers and a section. The Hilbert scheme X[n]X^{[n]} fibers over C[n]C^{[n]}. We construct a commutative group scheme over the entire base C[n]C^{[n]} that embeds as an open subscheme of the Hilbert scheme, such that its action on itself extends to the entirety of X[n]X^{[n]}. We show that the action is δ\delta-regular in the sense of Ng\^o. Using the derived McKay correspondence, we construct an exact autoequivalence of DbCoh(X[n])D^b\operatorname{Coh}(X^{[n]}) whose kernel is a maximal Cohen-Macaulay sheaf on the fiber product. We show that this Fourier-Mukai transform intertwines with our group action, i.e. theorem of the square holds. We also discuss the case without a section using the theory of Tate-Shafarevich twists.
