Explicit projective embeddings of standard opens of the Hilbert scheme of points

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We describe explicitly how certain standard opens of the Hilbert scheme of points are embedded into Grassmannians. The standard opens of the Hilbert scheme that we consider are given as the intersection of a corresponding basic open affine of the Grassmannian and a closed stratum determined by a Fitting ideal.


The authors describe how certain standard opens \(\mathrm{Hilb}^\beta\) of the Hilbert scheme \(\mathrm{Hilb}^N_{\mathbf A^n_A}\) parameterizing \(N\) points of \(\mathbf A^n_A\) are embedded into Grassmannians. These open subsets of the Hilbert scheme are the intersection of a corresponding open affine of the Grassmannian and a closed stratum determined by a Fitting ideal. As an application, the authors give a cover for the scheme parameterizing \(0\)-dimensional closed subschemes in \(\mathbb P^n_k\), \(k\) an algebraically closed field, that are flat, finite of relative rank \(n + 1\), and non-degenerate. The authors also show that the ideal generated by the commutator relations, often used in literature in the constructions of the local open schemes \(\mathrm{Hilb}^\beta\), equals the Fitting ideal arising from the graded, global situation. As an application, the authors give a new proof of the following result, already proved by \textit{K. Ranestad} and \textit{F.-O. Schreyer} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 525, 147--181 (2000; Zbl 1078.14506)]: the scheme \(\mathrm{VPS}^{n+1}_Z\) of length \(n+1\) subschemes in \(\mathbb P^n\) apolar to the annihilator scheme \(Z\) of a smooth quadratic surface is closed in the Grassmannian of rank \(n+1\) quotients of the vector space of two-forms on projective \(n\)-space. In the Appendix, the authors restate some of their results on ideals and Hilbert schemes for modules and Quot schemes.
