Abstract

We study relations in the Grothendieck ring of varieties which connect the Hilbert scheme of points on a cubic hypersurface YY with a certain moduli space of twisted cubic curves on YY. These relations are generalizations of the "beautiful" YY-F(Y)F(Y) relation by Galkin and Shinder which connects YY with the Hilbert scheme of two points on YY and the Fano variety F(Y)F(Y) of lines on YY. We concentrate mostly on the case of cubic surfaces. The symmetries of 2727 lines on a smooth cubic surface give a lot of restrictions on possible forms of the relations.
