Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a locally free sheaf of rank $r$ on a smooth projective surface $S$. The Quot scheme $\mathrm{Quot}^{l}_{S}(\mathcal{E})$ of length $l$ coherent sheaf quotients of $\mathcal{E}$ is a natural higher rank generalization…

For any locally free coherent sheaf on a fixed smooth projective curve, we study the class, in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, of the Quot scheme that parametrizes zero-dimensional quotients of the sheaf. We prove that this class…

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…

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 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 $X$ 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…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve defined over the field of complex numbers. Let $E$ be a vector bundle on $C$, and fix an integer $d\geqslant 1$. Let $\mc Q:={\rm Quot}(E,d)$ be the Quot Scheme which parameterizes all torsion quotients…

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…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ over $\mathbb C$, and let $E^0$ be a vector bundle on $C$. We investigate the birational geometry of the Quot scheme ${\rm Quot}_C(E^0, k, n)$, which parametrizes quotients of $E^0$…

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.

In this paper we characterise the smoothness of the nested Quot scheme of points of a smooth variety, namely the moduli space parametrising flags of $0$-dimensional quotients of a fixed locally free sheaf. Our results extend Cheah's…

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…

We define a categorical action of the shifted quantum loop group of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ on the derived categories of Quot schemes of finite length quotient sheaves on a smooth projective curve. As an application, we obtain a semi-orthogonal…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over the complex number field $\cnum$. We investigate the structure of the cohomology ring of the quot schemes $\Quot(r,n)$, i.e., the moduli scheme of the quotient sheaves of $\nbigo_C^{\oplus r}$ with…

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…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $S$ be a smooth projective variety over $k$ and let $p_S:X\rightarrow S$ be a family of smooth projective curves over $S$. Let $E$ be a vector bundle over $X$. For $s\in…

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…

We study the virtual Euler characteristics of sheaves over Quot schemes of curves, establishing that these invariants fit into a topological quantum field theory (TQFT) valued in $\mathbb{Z}[[q]]$. We show that the three-pointed genus-zero…

We show that the Quot scheme $\text{Quot}_{\mathbf{A}^3}(\mathcal{O}^r,n)$ admits a symmetric obstruction theory, and we compute its virtual Euler characteristic. We extend the calculation to locally free sheaves on smooth $3$-folds, thus…
