The T-graph of a multigraded Hilbert scheme records the zero and one-dimensional orbits of the T = (K^*)^n action on the Hilbert scheme induced from the T-action on A^n. It has vertices the T-fixed points, and edges the one-dimensional…

A theorem of G\"ottsche establishes a connection between cohomological invariants of a complex projective surface $S$ and corresponding invariants of the Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on $S.$ This relationship is encoded in certain infinite…

Let X be a smooth, connected, dimension n, quasi-projective variety imbedded in \PP_N. Consider integers {k_1,...,k_r}, with k_i>0, and the Hilbert Scheme H_{k_1,...,k_r}(X) of aligned, finite, degree \sum k_i, subschemes of X, with…

In a Hilbert space, we study the strong convergence of alternating projections between two inconsistent affine subspaces with varying relaxation on one side. New convergence results are obtained by seeing the alternating projections as a…

We provide a criterion for when Hilbert squares of complex projective K3 surfaces with Picard number one are strongly ambiguous. This criterion is the same as [DM, Proposition 3.14], but is obtained by a different method. In particular,…

The Hilbert scheme of points $\mathrm{Hilb}^n(S)$ of a smooth surface $S$ is a well-studied parameter space, lying at the interface of algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, representation theory, combinatorics, and mathematical physics.…

We give an expression for the Smith-Thom deficiency of the Hilbert square $X^{[2]}$ of a smooth real algebraic variety $X$ in terms of the rank of a suitable Mayer-Vietoris mapping in several situations. As a consequence, we establish a…

In this paper, we prove an intersection-theoretic result pertaining to curves in certain Hilbert modular surfaces in positive characteristic. Specifically, we show that given two appropriate curves C,D parameterizing abelian surfaces with…

In this paper, we prove an explicit arithmetic intersection formula between arithmetic Hirzebruch-Zagier divisors and arithmetic CM cycles in a Hilbert modular surface over $\mathbb Z$. As applications, we obtain the first `non-abelian'…

Using vertex algebra techniques, we determine a set of generators for the cohomology ring of the Hilbert schemes of points on an arbitrary smooth projective surface over the field of complex numbers.

We prove a Cayley-Bacharach-type theorem for points in projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ that lie on a complete intersection of $n$ hypersurfaces. This is made possible by new bounds on the growth of the Hilbert function of almost complete…

We prove a closed formula expressing any multiplicative characteristic class evaluated on the tangent bundle of the Hilbert schemes of points on a non-compact simply-connected surface. As a corollary, we deduce a closed formula for the…

In this paper we present a way of computing the degree of the secant (resp., tangent) variety of a smooth projective surface, under the assumption that the divisor giving the embedding in the projective space is $3$-very ample. This method…

An n-dilation of a contraction T acting on a Hilbert space H is a unitary dilation acting on H \oplus C^n. We show that if both defect numbers of T are equal to n, then the closure of the numerical range of T is the intersection of the…

We compute the completion of the local ring of the Hilbert scheme of degree $n+1$ subschemes of $\mathbb{A}^n$ at the point corresponding to the ideal $\langle x_1,\ldots,x_n\rangle^2$, and describe the completion of the universal family.…

We generalize some properties related to Hilbert series and Lefschetz properties of Milnor algebras of projective hypersurfaces with isolated singularities to the more general case of an almost complete intersection ideal $J$ of dimension…

Various algebraic structures have recently appeared in a parallel way in the framework of Hilbert schemes of points on a surface and respectively in the framework of equivariant K-theory [N1,Gr,S2,W], but direct connections are yet to be…

We show that the isometry group of a polyhedral Hilbert geometry coincides with its group of collineations (projectivities) if and only if the polyhedron is not an n-simplex with n>=2. Moreover, we determine the isometry group of the…

We show that intersection graphs of compact convex sets in R^n of bounded aspect ratio have asymptotic dimension at most 2n+1. More generally, we show this is the case for intersection graphs of systems of subsets of any metric space of…

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…
