The authors calculate the Betti numbers of the Hilbert scheme of points in the plane. Observe that the maximal torus of SL(3) acts on \(Hilb^ d({\mathbb{P}}^ 2)\) with isolated fixed points. It follows from a result of Birula-Białynicki that \(Hilb^ d({\mathbb{P}}^ 2)\) has a cellular decomposition. Then the calculation of the Betti numbers reduces to a careful study of the representation of the torus at the tangent spaces of the fixed points. As a by-product to their method, the authors also obtain similar results about the punctual Hilbert scheme and the Hilbert scheme of points in the affine plane.
