Segments and Hilbert schemes of points (Q641200)

Let \(K\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(0,\) \(S=K[x_0,\dots,x_n]\) and \({\mathbb P}^n_K=\mathrm{Proj} S.\) Let us consider on the set of the terms of \(S\) a degreverse order. The authors prove that in the Hilbert scheme of points in \({\mathbb P}^n_K,\) the point corresponding to a segment ideal, with respect to a degreverse order, is singular. Unfortunately this result cannot be generalized to Hilbert schemes with a Hilbert polynomial of a positive degree. Moreover they provide an algorithm for computing all the saturated Borel ideals with a given Hilbert polynomial.
