Some syzygies of the generators of the ideal of a border basis scheme (Q644470)

A border basis scheme is an affine scheme parameterizing ideals \(I\) in a polynomial ring \(R\) which have a certain given finite monomial basis. It therefore plays an important role in the study of Hilbert schemes as it appears as an open subscheme of the Hilbert scheme of a finite number of points. The author's nice article computes explicitly some syzygies on generators of the ideal of a border basis scheme. The work makes use of the fact that these generators arise as entries in certain commutators of matrices. One application that is presented is a proof that when the number of variables in \(R\) is two then any border basis scheme is a complete intersection. The article is clear, thorough, and contains the relevant background material. It is a great resource for anyone studying border basis schemes or more generally Hilbert schemes of a finite number of points.
