Abstract
Let be the torus acting on the Quot scheme of points via the standard action on . We analyze the fixed locus of the Quot scheme under this action. In particular we show that for or , this locus is smooth, and that for and it satisfies Murphy's law as introduced by Vakil, meaning that it has arbitrarily bad singularities. These results are obtained by giving a decomposition of the fixed locus into connected components, and identifying the components with incidence schemes of subspaces of . We then obtain a characterization of the incidence schemes which occur, in terms of their graphs of incidence relations.
