Conjugacy classes of commuting nilpotents

Publication date 26 September 2019

Abstract: We consider the space

m a t h c a l M_{q, n}

of regular

q

-tuples of commuting nilpotent endomorphisms of

k^{n}

modulo simultaneous conjugation. We show that

m a t h c a l M_{q, n}

admits a natural homogeneous space structure, and that it is an affine space bundle over

m a t h b b P^{q - 1}

. A closer look at the homogeneous structure reveals that, over

m a t h b b C

and with respect to the complex topology,

m a t h c a l M_{q, n}

is a smooth vector bundle over

m a t h b b P^{q - 1}

. We prove that, in this case,

m a t h c a l M_{q, n}

is diffeomorphic to a direct sum of twisted tangent bundles. We also prove that

m a t h c a l M_{q, n}

possesses a universal property and represents a functor of ideals, and use it to identify

m a t h c a l M_{q, n}

with an open subscheme of a punctual Hilbert scheme. By using a result of A. Iarrobino, we show that

m a t h c a l M_{q, n} o m a t h b b P^{q - 1}

is not a vector bundle, hence giving a family of affine space bundles that are not vector bundles.
