Abstract: Let k be a field of positive characteristic. We construct, for each dominant coweight lambda of the standard maximal torus in the special linear group, a closed subvariety D(lambda) of the multigraded Hilbert scheme of an affine space over k, such that the k-valued points of D(lambda) can be interpreted as lattices in k((z))^n endowed with infinitesimal structure. Moreover, for any lambda we construct a universal homeomorphism from D(lambda) to a Demazure resolution of the Schubert variety associated with lambda in the affine Grassmannian. Lattices in D(lambda) have non-trivial infinitesimal structure if and only if they lie over the boundary of the big cell.


The author constructs a subvariety of the multigraded Hilbert scheme for each dominant character of the special linear group over a field of positive characteristic. It is shown that this subvariety can be interpreted as lattices endowed with infinitesimal structure in the proper setting. The author relates this via a an equivariant universal homeomorphism to a Demazure resolution of the Schubert variety associated to the character in the affine Grassmannian. The paper is well written and thorough, including necessary background on several topics, including the affine Grassmannian, Demazure varieties, and multigraded Hilbert schemes.
