Abstract: Using obstruction bundles, composition law and the localization formula, we compute certain 3-point genus-0 Gromov-Witten invariants of the Hilbert scheme of 3-points on the complex projective plane. Our results partially verify Ruan's conjecture about quantum corrections for this Hilbert scheme.


The present article continues the study of curves in Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces started in [Turk. J. Math. 26, 53--68 (2002; Zbl 1054.14068)] and [in: Vector bundles and representation theory. Proc. conf. Columbia, MO, 2002, Contemp. Math. 322, 89--96 (2003; Zbl 1057.14012)]. Although many results about the cohomology ring of the punctual Hilbert schemes of surfaces are available, due to works of L.~Göttsche, M.~Lehn, H.~Nakajima et al., much less is known about their quantum cohomology rings. The authors consider the case of \(\text{Hilb}^3(\mathbb P^2)\), and are mainly interested in the quantum contributions coming from the curves which are contracted by the Hilbert-Chow morphism \(\varphi: \text{Hilb}^3(\mathbb P^2)\rightarrow \text{Sym}^3(\mathbb P^2)\). The motivation for this choice is given by \textit{Y.~Ruan}'s conjecture about the quantum cohomology ring of the crepant resolutions of orbifold singularities [Cohomology ring of crepant resolutions of orbifolds, preprint, \texttt{http://arxiv.org/abs/math.AG/0108195}], applied in this context to the morphism \(\varphi\). The main result of the article is the explicit computation of the \(2\)- and \(3\)-pointed genus-\(0\) Gromov-Witten invariants of \(\text{Hilb}^3(\mathbb P^2)\). A rather tedious, case-by-case analysis shows that most of them vanish. The remaining invariants are all explicitely computed, except the ones coming from curves in \(\text{Hilb}^3(\mathbb P^2)\) corresponding to subschemes whose support is contained in a line in \(\mathbb P^2\). These latter are computed using the localization formula of \textit{T.~Graber} and \textit{R.~Pandharipande} [Invent. Math. 135, 487--518 (1999; Zbl 0953.14035)], and is expressed as a sum over stable graphs.
