Given a locally free coherent sheaf on a smooth algebraic surface, we consider the Quot-scheme parametrizing zero-dimensional quotients of the sheaf and find the corresponding motivic class in the Grothendieck ring of algebraic varieties.

We prove the existence of semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of Quot schemes of zero-dimensional quotients on curves in terms of derived categories of symmetric products of curves. The above result is a categorical analogue…

Let $X$ be a variety. In this survey, we study (decompositions of) the motivic class, in the Grothendieck ring of stacks, of the stack $\mathscr{C}oh^n(X)$ of $0$-dimensional coherent sheaves of length $n$ on $X$. To do so, we review the…

Let $X$ be a smooth variety, $E$ a locally free sheaf on $X$. We express the generating function of the motives $[\textrm{Quot}_X(E,n)]$ in terms of the power structure on the Grothendieck ring of varieties. This extends a recent result of…

We study the geometry of the Quot scheme $\mathrm{Quot}^l_{S}(\mathcal{E})$ of length $l$ coherent sheaf quotients of a locally free sheaf $\mathcal{E}$ on a smooth projective surface $\mathrm{S}$. In particular, we investigate the nature…

Let $X$ be a quasiprojective scheme. In this expository note we collect a series of useful structural results on the stack $\mathscr{C}oh^n(X)$ parametrising $0$-dimensional coherent sheaves of length $n$ over $X$. For instance, we discuss…

We prove that on separated algebraic surfaces every coherent sheaf is a quotient of a locally free sheaf. This class contains many schemes that are neither normal, reduced, quasiprojective or embeddable into toric varieties. Our methods…

For a locally free sheaf $\mathcal{E}$ on a smooth projective curve, we can define the punctual Quot scheme which parametrizes torsion quotients of $\mathcal{E}$ of length $n$ supported at a fixed point. It is known that the punctual Quot…

Realizing a part of the Derived Deformation Theory program, we construct a "derived" analog of the Grothendieck's Quot scheme parametrizing subsheaves in a given coherent sheaf F on a smooth projective variety X. This analog is a…

We describe the closed strata that defines certain Quot schemes as closed subschemes in Grassmannians. The Quot schemes we consider are those parametrizing finite length $n$ quotient sheaves of the free, rank $p$ sheaf on projective…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $C$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve over $k$. Let $E$ be a locally free sheaf on $C$ of rank $\geq 2$. Fix an integer $d \geq 2$. Let $\mathcal{Q}$ denote the Quot scheme…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve, $E$ a locally free sheaf. Hyperquot schemes on $C$ parametrise flags of coherent quotients of $E$ with fixed Hilbert polynomial, and offer alternative compactifications to the spaces of maps from $C$ to…

Quot schemes of quotients of a trivial bundle of arbitrary rank on a nonsingular projective surface X carry perfect obstruction theories and virtual fundamental classes whenever the quotient sheaf has at most 1-dimensional support. The…

We build an infinite dimensional scheme parametrizing isomorphism classes of coherent quotients of a quasi-coherent sheaf on a projective scheme. The main tool to achieve the construction is a version of Grothendieck's Grassmannian…

We study the Pl\"{u}cker degree of the main component of the Quot scheme of length $l$ quotients of a locally free sheaf on a smooth projective scheme $\mathrm{S}$ of dimension $d\geqslant 1$. This degree is determined by classes in the…

We prove that, given integers $m\geq 3$, $r\geq 1$ and $n\geq 0$, the moduli space of torsion free sheaves on $\mathbb P^m$ with Chern character $(r,0,\ldots,0,-n)$ that are trivial along a hyperplane $D \subset \mathbb P^m$ is isomorphic…

The punctual Quot scheme parametrizes all length d quotients of a (locally) trivial rank r sheaf which are supported at a fixed point. The author shows that this scheme is irreducible and (rd-1)-dimensional. The same result was proved…

A moduli space of stable quotients of the rank n trivial sheaf on stable curves is introduced. Over nonsingular curves, the moduli space is Grothendieck's Quot scheme. Over nodal curves, a relative construction is made to keep the torsion…

This paper studies the derived category of the Quot scheme of rank $d$ locally free quotients of a sheaf $\mathscr{G}$ of homological dimension $\le 1$ over a scheme $X$. In particular, we propose a conjecture about the structure of its…

We study virtual invariants of Quot schemes parametrizing quotients of dimension at most 1 of the trivial sheaf of rank N on nonsingular projective surfaces. We conjecture that the generating series of virtual K-theoretic invariants are…
