Gröbner cells of punctual Hilbert schemes in dimension two (Q2075935)

In this paper, the notion of the Gröbner cell for the Hilbert scheme of points in the plane, as well as that of the punctual Hilbert scheme is comprehensively defined. An explicit parametrization of the Gröbner cells in terms of minors of a matrix is recalled. The main core of this paper shows that the decomposition of the Punctual Hilbert scheme into Grönber cells induces that of the compactified Jacobians of plane curve singularities. As an important application of this decomposition, the topological invariance of an analog of the compactified Jacobian and the corresponding motivic superpolynomial for families of singularities is concluded.
