Big and nef tautological vector bundles over the Hilbert scheme of points (Q2674835)

The tautological bundle of the Hilbert scheme of points on a smooth projective surface is a central object of algebraic geometry and its application. Nevertheless, as is pointed out in the introduction of this paper, there are few studies on positivity of the tautological bundles. The paper under review gives an explicit criterion of tautological bundles on \(K\)-trivial surfaces to be big and nef. The strategy of derivation is the usage of the Segre integral formula established recently in [\textit{A. Marian} et al., J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 24, No. 8, 2979--3015 (2022; Zbl 1495.14006)]. The main text begins with the study of \(K3\) surfaces in \S 2, and turns to other \(k\)-trivial surfaces in \S 3. The same strategy works for other smooth projective surfaces, including blowups of \(K3\), minimal surfaces of general type, and also for the punctual Quot schemes of curves, presented in \S 4.
