We introduce a non-associative model for the Hilbert scheme of points in arbitrary dimension. We define a smooth ambient space, which we call the non-associative Hilbert scheme, containing the classical nested Hilbert scheme…
This article provides a summary of arXiv:1701.08899 and arXiv:1701.08902 where the authors studied the enumerative geometry of nested Hilbert schemes of points and curves on algebraic surfaces and their connections to threefold theories,…
We express nested Hilbert schemes of points and curves on a smooth projective surface as "virtual resolutions" of degeneracy loci of maps of vector bundles on smooth ambient spaces. We show how to modify the resulting obstruction theories…
Given a map of vector bundles on a smooth variety, consider the deepest degeneracy locus where its rank is smallest. We show it carries a natural perfect obstruction theory whose virtual cycle can be calculated by the Thom-Porteous formula.…
We study certain top intersection products on the Hilbert scheme of points on a nonsingular surface relative to an effective smooth divisor. We find a formula relating these numbers to the corresponding intersection numbers on the…
This is a continuation of prior work of the author on cosection localization for d-manifolds. We construct reduced virtual fundamental classes for derived manifolds with surjective cosections and cosection localized virtual fundamental…
We prove a closed formula for the integrals of the top Segre classes of tautological bundles over the Hilbert schemes of points of a K3 surface X. We derive relations among the Segre classes via equivariant localization of the virtual…
The methods of integral operators on the cohomology of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces are developed. They are used to establish integral bases for the cohomology groups of Hilbert schemes of points on a class of surfaces (and…
We calculate the cohomology spaces of the Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces with values in locally constant systems. For that purpose, we generalise I. Grojnoswki's and H. Nakajima's description of the ordinary cohomology in terms of a…
We study the existence and the schematic structure of elementary components of the nested Hilbert scheme on a smooth quasi-projective variety. Precisely, we find a new lower bound for the existence of non-smoothable nestings of fat points…
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…
Let $C$ be a smooth curve. In this paper we investigate the geometric properties of the double nested Hilbert scheme of points on $C$, a moduli space introduced by the third author in the context of BPS invariants of local curves and sheaf…
We develop a formula for tautological integrals over geometric subsets of the Hilbert scheme of points on complex manifolds. As an illustration of the theory, we derive a new iterated residue formula for the number of nodal curves in…
In the study of the rational cohomology of Hilbert schemes of points on a smooth surface, it is particularly interesting to understand the characteristic classes of the tautological bundles and the tangent bundle. In this note we pursue…
We solve the $K$-theoretically refined Donaldson-Thomas theory of local curves. Our results avoid degeneration techniques, but rather exploit direct localisation methods to reduce the refined Donaldson-Thomas partition function to the…
In this paper, we give three bases for the cohomology groups of the Hilbert scheme of two points on projective space. Then, we use these bases to compute all effective and nef cones of higher codimensional cycles on the Hilbert scheme.…
We determine the ring structure of the equivariant quantum cohomology of the Hilbert scheme of points in the complex plane. The operator of quantum multiplication by the divisor class is a nonstationary deformation of the quantum…
Moduli spaces of stable sheaves on smooth projective surfaces are in general singular. Nonetheless, they carry a virtual class, which -- in analogy with the classical case of Hilbert schemes of points -- can be used to define intersection…
Given a smooth compact complex surface together with a holomorphic line bundle on it, using the theory of Hodge modules, we compute the twisted Hodge groups/numbers of Hilbert schemes (or Douady spaces) of points on the surface with values…
These expository notes are based on a series of lectures given at the May 2018 Snowbird workshop, Crossing the Walls in Enumerative Geometry. We give an introductory treatment of the notion of a virtual fundamental class in algebraic…
