We consider the quot scheme $\mathrm{Quot}^d_{\mathcal F^r/ \mathbb P^1/ k}$ of locally free quotients of $\mathcal F^r:= \bigoplus ^{ r} \mathcal O_{\mathbb P^1 }$ with Hilbert polynomial $p(t)=d$. We prove that it is a smooth variety of…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $S^{[n_1,\dots,n_k]}$ denote the nested Hilbert scheme which parametrizes zero-dimensional subschemes $\xi_{n_1} \subset \ldots \subset \xi_{n_k}$ where $\xi_i$ is a closed…

We compare and contrast results of E. Davis, of A. Bigatti, A.V. Geramita and the author, and of J. Ahn and the author. The underlying idea is that certain numerical conditions on the Hilbert function of a finite set of points in projective…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$ and $S^{[n]}$ be the Hilbert scheme of $n$ points over $S$, for any positive integer $n$. Let ${\bf a}=(n_1,\ldots,n_r)$ and ${\bf b}=(m_1,\ldots,m_s)$ be two distinct partitions of…

We establish some remarkable properties of the cohomology rings of the Hilbert schemes of n points on a projective surface X, from which one sees to what extent these cohomology rings are (in)dependent of X and n.

Let $K$ be a global field of positive characteristic. We give an asymptotic formula for the number of $K$-points of bounded height on the Hilbert scheme $\text{Hilb}^2\mathbb{P}^2$ and show that by eliminating an exceptional thin set, the…

In this thesis we consider the geometry of the Hilbert scheme of points in P^n, concentrating on the locus of points corresponding to the Gorenstein subschemes of P^n. New results are given, most importantly we provide tools for…

For $n\ge 1$ we show that the length 1 nested Hilbert scheme of the total space $X_n$ of the line bundle $\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^1}(-n)$, parameterizing pairs of nested 0-cycles in $X_n$, is a quiver variety associated with a suitable quiver…

We study the postulation of 0-dimensional schemes given by unions of 2-superfat points in general position in the plane, i.e., the union of local schemes defined by the intersection of two distinct double lines. We prove that such schemes…

Two approaches for determining Hilbert functions of fat point subschemes of $\mathbb P^2$ are demonstrated. A complete determination of the Hilbert functions which occur for 9 double points is given using the first approach, extending…

We study the question of whether there is a minimum Hilbert functions for double point schemes whose support is $s$ points with the generic Hilbert functions. Previous work shows that the question has an affirmative answer for $s \le 9$ and…

We classify the Hilbert functions of bigraded algebras in $k[x_1, x_2, y_1, y_2]$ introducing a numerical function called Ferrers function.

Consider a finite scheme of length l contained in a smooth quadric surface over the complex numbers. We determine the number of linearly independent curves passing through the scheme, of degree at least l - 1.

The criterion for an affine primary algebra over the field to be integral, is proven. Using this criterion we give a simple proof that Hilbert scheme of 0-dimensional subschemes of length $l$ of nonsingular $d$-dimensional algebraic variety…

The Hilbert scheme $S^{[n]}$ of points on an algebraic surface $S$ is a simple example of a moduli space and also a nice (crepant) resolution of singularities of the symmetric power $S^{(n)}$. For many phenomena expected for moduli spaces…

We study Hilbert functions of certain non-reduced schemes A supported at finite sets of points in projective space, in particular, fat point schemes. We give combinatorially defined upper and lower bounds for the Hilbert function of A using…

We prove that for a metric space $X$ and a finite group $G$ acting on $X$ by isometries, if $X$ coarsely embeds into a Hilbert space, then so does the quotient $X/G$. A crucial step towards our main result is to show that for any integer $k…

In this paper we study the Hilbert scheme, Hilb(P), of equidimensional locally Cohen-Macaulay codimension 2 subschemes, with a special look to surfaces in P^4 and 3-folds in P^5, and the Hilbert scheme stratification H_{c} of constant…

Denoting $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,5}$ by the Hilbert scheme of smooth curves of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in $\mathbb{P}^5$, let $\mathcal{H}$ be an irreducible component of $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,5}$. We study the Hilbert function…
