Abstract

Let HilbnS\mathrm{Hilb}_nS be the Hilbert scheme of nn points on a smooth projective surface SS. To a class αK0(S)\alpha\in K^0(S) correspond a tautological vector bundle α[n]\alpha^{[n]} on HilbnS\mathrm{Hilb}_nS and line bundle L(n)ErL_{(n)}\otimes E^{\otimes r} with L=det(α)L=\det(\alpha), r=rk(α)r=\mathrm{rk}(\alpha). In this paper we give closed formulas for the generating functions for the Segre classes HilbnSs(α[n])\int_{\mathrm{Hilb}_nS} s(\alpha^{[n]}), and the Verlinde numbers χ(HilbnS,L(n)Er)\chi(\mathrm{Hilb}_nS,L_{(n)}\otimes E^{\otimes r}), for any surface SS and any class αK0(S)\alpha\in K^0(S). In fact we determine a more general generating function for KK-theoretic invariants of Hilbert schemes of points, which contains the formulas for Segre and Verlinde numbers as specializations. We prove these formulas in case KS2=0K_S^2=0. Without assuming the condition KS2=0K_S^2=0, we show the Segre-Verlinde conjecture of Johnson and Marian-Oprea-Pandharipande, which relates the Segre and Verlinde generating series by an explicit change of variables.
