Let $C$ be a complex, reduced, locally planar curve. We extend the results of Rennemo arXiv:1308.4104 to reducible curves by constructing an algebra $A$ acting on $V=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0} H_*(C^{[n]}, \mathbb{Q})$, where $C^{[n]}$ is the…
Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that all monomial ideals sit in the curvilinear component of the Hilbert scheme of points of the affine space $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbf{k}}^n$, answering a long-standing…
We denote by $\mathcal{H}_{d,g,r}$ the Hilbert scheme of smooth curves, which is the union of components whose general point corresponds to a smooth irreducible and non-degenerate curve of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in $\PP^r$. In this note,…
In this paper, we explore different possible choices of expanded degenerations and define appropriate stability conditions in order to construct good degenerations of Hilbert schemes of points over semistable degenerations of surfaces,…
We study the Hilbert scheme (Hilb V) of smooth connected curves on a smooth del Pezzo 3-fold V. We prove that every degenerate curve C, i.e. every curve contained in a smooth hyperplane section S of V, does not deform to a non-degenerate…
Hilbert schemes of suitable smooth, projective manifolds of low degree which are 3-fold scrolls over the Hirzebruch surface F_1 are studied. An irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme parametrizing such varieties is shown to be…
Generalizing the Moret-Bailly pencil of supersingular abelian surfaces to higher dimensions, we construct for each field of characteristic p>0 a smooth projective variety with trivial dualizing sheaf that does not formally lift to…
We prove that there exists a holomorphic symplectic manifold deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of two points on a K3 surface that admits a non-symplectic automorphism of order 23, that is the maximal possible prime order in this…
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…
In this paper we study the tangent space to the Hilbert scheme $\mathrm{Hilb}^d \mathbf{P}^3$, motivated by Haiman's work on $\mathrm{Hilb}^d \mathbf{P}^2$ and by a long-standing conjecture of Brian\c{c}on and Iarrobino on the most singular…
We provide a criterion for when Hilbert schemes of points on K3 surfaces are birational. In particular, this allows us to generate a plethora of examples of non-birational Hilbert schemes which are derived equivalent.
The Hilbert scheme H^d_n of n points in A^d contains an irreducible component R^d_n which generically represents n distinct points in A^d. We show that when n is at most 8, the Hilbert scheme H^d_n is reducible if and only if n = 8 and d >=…
Given a sequence of bounded operators $a_j$ on a Hilbert space $H$ with $\sum a_j^*a_j=1=\sum a_ja_j^*$, we study the map $\Psi$ defined on $B(H)$ by $\Psi(x)=\sum a_j^*xa_j$ and its restriction $\Phi$ to the Hilbert-Schmidt class $C^2(H)$.…
For $\gamma \geq 7$ and $g \geq 6\gamma + 5$, we construct a family $\mathcal{F}^{\prime}$ of curves lying on cones in $\mathbb{P}^{g-3\gamma+1}$ over smooth non-degenerate curves of genus $\gamma$ and degree $g-2\gamma$ in…
In this article, we describe the irreducible components of the Hilbert scheme of $d$ points on $\mathbb{A}^n$ for $d=9,10$. The main techniques we use are the variety of commuting matrices and analyzing loci of local algebras with a…
We give a characterisation of Atiyah's and Hitchin's transverse Hilbert schemes of points on a symplectic surface in terms of bi-Poisson structures. Furthermore, we describe the geometry of hyperk\"ahler manifolds arising from the…
For a finite subgroup $\Gamma\subset \mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and $n\geq 1$, we construct the (reduced scheme underlying the) Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on the Kleinian singularity $\mathbb{C}^2/\Gamma$ as a Nakajima quiver variety for…
We develop a new general method for computing the decomposition type of the normal bundle to a projective rational curve. This method is then used to detect and explain an example of a Hilbert scheme that parametrizes all the rational…
The intersection of a complex plane curve with a small three-sphere surrounding one of its singularities is a non-trivial link. The refined punctual Hilbert schemes of the singularity parameterize subschemes supported at the singular point…
We study the holomorphic Euler characteristics of tautological sheaves on Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces. In particular, we establish the rationality of K-theoretic descendent series. Our approach is to control equivariant…
