We study the $K$-theoretic enumerative geometry of cyclic Nakajima quiver varieties, with particular focus on $\text{Hilb}^{m}([\mathbb{C}^{2}/\mathbb{Z}_{l}])$, the equivariant Hilbert scheme of points on $\mathbb{C}^2$. The direct sum…
Parametric families in the centre ${\bf Z}({\bf C}[S_n])$ of the group algebra of the symmetric group are obtained by identifying the indeterminates in the generating function for Macdonald polynomials as commuting Jucys-Murphy elements.…
Let $X$ be a complex $K3$ surface with an effective action of a group $G$ which preserves the holomorphic symplectic form. Let $$ Z_{X,G}(q) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} e\left(\operatorname{Hilb}^{n}(X)^{G} \right)\, q^{n-1} $$ be the generating…
We study the K-theory of the Cuntz-Nica-Pimsner C*-algebra of a rank-two product system that is an extension determined by an invariant ideal of the coefficient algebra. We use a construction of Deaconu and Fletcher that describes the…
Over an infinite field $K$ with $\mathrm{char}(K)\neq 2,3$, we investigate smoothable Gorenstein $K$-points in a punctual Hilbert scheme from a new point of view, which is based on properties of double-generic initial ideals and of marked…
We prove the conjecture by Gyenge, N\'emethi and Szendr\H{o}i in arXiv:1512.06844, arXiv:1512.06848 giving a formula of the generating function of Euler numbers of Hilbert schemes of points $\operatorname{Hilb}^n(\mathbb C^2/\Gamma)$ on a…
Let S be a smooth projective surface equipped with a line bundle H. Lehn's conjecture is a formula for the top Segre class of the tautological bundle associated to H on the Hilbert scheme of points of S. Voisin has recently reduced Lehn's…
Suppose that for each n >= 0 we have a representation $M_n$ of the symmetric group S_n. Such sequences arise in a wide variety of contexts, and often exhibit uniformity in some way. We prove a number of general results along these lines in…
To any pullback square of ring spectra we associate a new ring spectrum and use it to describe the failure of excision in algebraic $K$-theory. The construction of this new ring spectrum is categorical and hence allows to determine the…
Following the approach in the book "Commutative Algebra", by D. Eisenbud, where the author describes the generic initial ideal by means of a suitable total order on the terms of an exterior power, we introduce first the generic initial…
Let $X_0$ be a generic quintic threefold in projective space $\mathbf P^4$ over the complex numbers. For a fixed natural number $d$, let $R_d(X_0)$ be the open sub-scheme of the Hilbert scheme, parameterizing irreducible rational curves of…
The Hilbert scheme of $n$ points in the affine plane contains the open subscheme parametrizing $n$ distinct points in the affine plane, and the closed subscheme parametrizing ideals of codimension $n$ supported at the origin of the affine…
For a hyperk\"{a}hler manifold $X$ of dimension $2n$, Huybrechts showed that there are constants $a_0, a_2, \dots, a_{2n}$ such that $$\chi(L) =\sum_{i=0}^n\frac{a_{2i}}{(2i)!}q_X(c_1(L))^{i}$$ for any line bundle $L$ on $X$, where $q_X$ is…
A pair of disjoint lines on a smooth cubic threefold determines an irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme. We prove that this component is smooth and isomorphic to the blow-up of the symmetric product of Fano varieties of lines on the…
In this paper we generalise an application of Matui's HK conjecture by Farsi, Kumjian, Pask, and Sims, that gives an isomorphism from the homology groups of AF groupoids to the corresponding K-theory. We give an explicit formula for this…
Commutative Hilbertian Frobenius algebras are those commutative semi-group objects in the monoidal category of Hilbert spaces, for which the Hilbert adjoint of the multiplication satisfies the Frobenius compatibility relation, that is, this…
This paper develops a unified framework for observables in n-plectic geometry, extending the L_infty-algebra of Hamiltonian (n-1)-forms to Hamiltonian forms of all degrees via a degree-shifting Grassmann variable u that encodes submanifold…
A Procesi bundle, a rank $n!$ vector bundle on the Hilbert scheme $H_n$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{C}^2$, was first constructed by Mark Haiman in his proof of the $n!$ theorem by using a complicated combinatorial argument. Since then…
In this paper we show how to combine different techniques from Commutative Algebra and a systematic use of a Computer Algebra System (in our case mainly CoCoA) in order to explicitly construct Cohen-Macaulay domains, which are standard…
We show that tautological integrals on Hilbert schemes of points can be written in terms of universal polynomials in Chern numbers. The results hold in all dimensions, though they strengthen known results even for surfaces by allowing…
