Philosophical underpinnings of Grothendieck's construction of the Hilbert scheme

Long ago when I was in grad school I was told that Grothendieck's construction of the Hilbert scheme is rooted in two main technical points: Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity and Mumford flattening ...

Projective schemes with a fixed hyperplane section

Let $H$ be a hyperplane in $\mathbb P^n$, and $X \subseteq H$ be a subscheme. Let $CX \subseteq \mathbb P^n$ be the cone on $X$ from a point $p \notin H$. Let $Hilb_{CX}$ be the Hilbert scheme whose ...

Is the universal closed subscheme reduced?

Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and let $Y=\text{GHilb}(\mathbb{C}^2)$ be the minimal resolution of $X=\mathbb{C}^2/G$ where $\text{GHilb}(\mathbb{C}^2)$ is the Nakamura $G$-...

References for Hilbert schemes over non-Archimedean valuation

Can you suggest me some suitable references to learn the theory of Hilbert polynomials (or related Hilbert schemes) in the non-Archimedean setting? Thanks.

Understanding the Hilbert scheme of subvarieties of $\mathbb{CP}^n$

EDIT: migrated to MSE. I am looking to get a more concrete understanding of the Hilbert scheme of projective subvarieties, specifically over $\mathbb{C}$, and to obtain good references on this subject....
