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…

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…

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…

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…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb C$ of genus $g\geqslant 1$. Let $E$ be a vector bundle on $C$ of rank $r$ and degree $e$. Given integers $k_1,k_2,d_1,d_2$ such that $r>k_1>k_2>0$, let $\mathcal Q^{k_1,k_2}_{d_1,d_2}(E)$…

Since its introduction in 1995 by Li-Tian and Behrend-Fantechi, the theory of virtual fundamental class has played a key role in algebraic geometry, defining important invariants such as the Gromov-Witten invariant and the Donaldson-Thomas…

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…

Let $R$ be the complete local ring of a complex plane curve germ and $S$ its normalization. We propose a "Hilb-vs-Quot" conjecture relating the virtual weight polynomials of the Hilbert schemes of $R$ to those of the Quot schemes that…

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 Quot schemes of vector bundles on algebraic curves. Marian and Oprea gave a description of a topological quantum field theory (TQFT) studied by Witten in terms of intersection numbers on Quot schemes of trivial bundles. Since these…

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 $E^0$…

We prove a sheaf cohomology restriction (SCORE) formula for a class of vector bundles on complete intersections in toric varieties. The formula enables one to compute cohomology products on the complete intersection $X$ via computations on…

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface, and let ${\mathcal Q}(r,d)$ denote the quot scheme parametrizing the torsion quotients of ${\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X$ of degree $d$. Given a projective structure $P$ on $X$, we show that the…

Almost perfect obstruction theories were introduced in an earlier paper by the authors as the appropriate notion in order to define virtual structure sheaves and $K$-theoretic invariants for many moduli stacks of interest, including…

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…

We study rank-one sheaves and stable pairs on a smooth projective complex surface. We obtain an embedding of the moduli space of limit stable pairs into a smooth space. The embedding induces a perfect obstruction theory, which, over a…

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 $ E \xrightarrow[\text{}]{\pi} B$ be an oriented circle bundle over an oriented closed surface $B$. A quasisection is a smooth surface ${Q}$ (either closed or bordered) mapped by a generic smooth mapping $q$ to $E$ such that $\pi\circ…

We show that a cosection of the obstruction sheaf of a perfect obstruction theory localizes the virtual cycle to the non-surjective locus of the cosection. We give algebraic constructions of localized Gysin maps and localized virtual…

We define a derived enhancement of the hyperquot scheme (also known as nested Quot scheme), which classically parametrises flags of quotients of a perfect coherent sheaf on a projective scheme. We prove it is representable by a derived…
