When is the morphism from the Hilbert scheme to the moduli scheme of stable sheaves an isomorphism?

Consider over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $(X,\mathcal{O}(1))$ be a smooth projective scheme with an ample polarisation. Let $P(t):=\chi(X,\mathcal{O}(t))$ denote the Hilbert polynomial of $\mathcal{O}_X$. ...

What is happening on the second step of left mutation?

Let $X$ be a smooth Gushel-Mukai fourfold, whose semi-orthogonal decomposition is given by $$D^b(X)=\langle\mathcal{K}u(X),\mathcal{O}_X,\mathcal{U}^{\vee}_X,\mathcal{O}_X(H),\mathcal{U}^{\vee}(H)\...

Is the universal object over a Hilbert scheme connected?

Hartshorne proved in his thesis that if $S$ is connected, then the Hilbert scheme $\operatorname{Hilb}^p=\operatorname{Hilb}^p(\mathbb{P}^n_S/S)$ is too (where $p\in \mathbb{Q}[z]$). Can the same be ...

Lifting a morphism along quotient of a group action

Let $X$ and $Y$ be complex projective varieties. Assume there is a finite group $G$ acting on $Y$ and we denote the quotient projective variety by $Y/G$. We have a morphism of $\mathcal{Hom}$-schemes ...

When Hom scheme has projective components?

The Hom scheme of two projective varieties over some field is constructed as an open subfunctor of the Hilbert scheme of the product of the two schemes by Grothendieck. So it is a countable union of ...

On non-abelian Lefschetz hyperplane theorem

This paper studies the maps of the form $Hom(X,Y)\rightarrow Hom(D,Y)$ (where $D$ is an ample divisor on $X$) and gives conditions that when it is an isomorphism. This is called non-Abelian Lefschetz ...

A Special Case of Maximal Rank Conjecture

A special case of maximal rank conjecture states that for a general curve $C$ and general points $p_1,\dots ,p_n\in C$ the map $$Sym^2H^0(K_C-p_1-\dots -p_n)\to H^0(K_C^{\otimes 2}-2p_1-\dots -2p_n)$$ ...

Transversality of quadrics containing a projective curve

Let $C$ be a curve of genus $g$ and $L$ a $g^r_d$ on it and assume that we are in the range ${r+2\choose 2}>2d-g+1$. If $C$ and $L$ are chosen to be general then by the maximal rank conjecture (...

Curves and trisecant lines

We know that rational normal curves and elliptic normal curves have no trisecant lines. For the "next" case, this is still true. That is, a nondegenerate curve of degree $d\geq 5$ and genus $2$ in $\...

Choosing a group action to do GIT of hypersurfaces

When studying GIT stability of hypersurfaces $d$ of $\mathbb P^n$ we look at the Hilbert Scheme $H=\mathbb P^N$ parametrizing homogeneous polynomials $f_d(x_0,\ldots,x_n)$ of degree $d$. There is ...

Singular locus of a Hilbert scheme

Consider the Hilbert scheme $H$ of conics in $\mathbb{P}^3$. It is easy to see that there exists a closed subscheme $H'$ of $H$ parametrizing $2$ lines intersecting at a point. This can be seen as the ...
