Relative Hilbert scheme of points

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let D be a smooth divisor on a non singular surface S. We compute Betti numbers of the relative Hilbert scheme of points of S relative to D. In the case of PP2 and a line in it, we give an explicit set of generators and relations for the cohomology groups of this space.


Let \(D\) be a smooth Cartier divisor on a smooth quasi-projective surface \(S\). The Hilbert scheme \((S \setminus D)^{[n]}\) of \(n\) points on \(S \setminus D\) is not proper, but \textit{J. Li} and \textit{B. Wu} have constructed a compactification relative to \(D\) [``Good degeneration of Quot-schemes and coherent systems, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1110.0390}], called the relative Hilbert scheme. The author uses the moduli stack of stable ideal sheaves and the stack of expanded degenerations of \textit{J. Li} [J. Differ. Geom. 57, 509--578 (2001; Zbl 1076.14540)] to produce the generating function for the normalized Poincaré polynomial of the relative Hilbert scheme of points analogous to the generating function for the Hilbert scheme of \(n\) points given by \textit{L. Göttsche} and \textit{W. Soergel} [Math. Ann. 296, No. 2, 235--245 (1993; Zbl 0789.14002)]. When \(S = \mathbb P^2\) and \(D \subset \mathbb P^2\) is a line, the cohomology groups of the relative Hilbert scheme are computed and it is shown that the natural map from the Chow group to the Borel-Moore homology is an isomorphism.
