The locus of points of the Hilbert scheme with bounded regularity

Abstract

In this paper we consider the Hilbert scheme Hilbp(t)nHilb_{p(t)}^n parameterizing subschemes of PnP^n with Hilbert polynomial p(t)p(t), and we investigate its locus containing points corresponding to schemes with regularity lower than or equal to a fixed integer rr'. This locus is an open subscheme of Hilbp(t)nHilb_{p(t)}^n and, for every srs\geq r', we describe it as a locally closed subscheme of the Grasmannian Grp(s)N(s)Gr_{p(s)}^{N(s)} given by a set of equations of degree deg(p(t))+2\leq \mathrm{deg}(p(t))+2 and linear inequalities in the coordinates of the Pl\"ucker embedding.

v2: new proofs relying on the functorial definition of the Hilbert scheme. v3: Sections reorganized, new self-contained proof of the representability of the Hilbert functor with bounded regularity (Section 6)
