Abstract: We give a short, elementary and explicit proof of the existence of Hilbert schemes of points on affine schemes. As a direct consequence we obtain the existence of the Hilbert scheme of points on any projective scheme, not necessarily of finite type, over any base scheme.

Review text

The paper details a new construction of the quot scheme of Grothendieck. Quotient schemes are a fundamental classification tool in algebraic geometry. Several constructions of the scheme have been given (e.g. Altman and Kleiman) but typically one must rely on embeddings into Grassmannians of impractically large dimensions dependent on (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity. This paper instead gives (local) equations in relatively low degree. This generalizes an earlier construction of the Hilbert scheme of \(n\) points in a fixed scheme \(X\) by the authors [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 210, No. 3, 705--720 (2007; Zbl 1122.14004)] as well as the standard description of the Grassmann scheme. As an example a description of quot schemes over the affine line is worked out.
