Reference Request: Deformations of a map bijective to global sections of the pullback of the...

To deform a map $f:X \to Y$ is equivalent to deforming its graph $\Gamma \subset X\times Y$. But a deformation of a subscheme $Z \subset V$ are governed by the normal bundle $N_{Z/V}$ (the tangent spa …

Infinitesimal neighborhood and Ext group

There is no such map. In fact, the spectral sequence gives you a filtration on $\mathrm{Ext}^2(i_*\mathcal{O}_Y, i_*\mathcal{O}_Y)$ with three factors: $$ \mathrm{Ext}^2(\mathcal{O}_Y, \mathcal{O}_Y), …

Tangent space to Hilbert schemes of points

See Lemma B.5.6 in A. Kuznetsov, Yu. Prokhorov, C. Shramov, "Hilbert schemes of lines and conics and automorphism groups of Fano threefolds", Japanese Journal of Mathematics, V. 13 (2018), N. 1, pp. 1 …

When is the natural projection of the HIlbert flag scheme a flat morphism

The fiber of the map over a curve $C$ is just $P(H^0(P^3,I_C(d)))$. So, the sufficient and necessary condition is that $\dim H^0(P^3,I_C(d))$ is constant on $Hilb_P$.

Singular locus of a Hilbert scheme

Each conic in $P^3$ is contained in a plane $P^2 \subset P^3$, and the conic contained in a given plane are parameterized by $P^5$. Becaue of that the Hilbert scheme of conincs in $P^3$ is a $P^5$-fib …

Variation of global sections of line bundles

For a general smooth base $S$ it is not true that $T$ is regular. Assume even that $\mathcal{C} = C \times S$ for a fixed smooth curve $C$. The line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ then defines a morphism $f \co …

Are Du Val singularities smoothable?

Du Val singularities are hypersurface singularities, hence they can be smoothed --- just replace the defining equation $F(x,y,z) = 0$ by the equation $F(x,y,z) = \epsilon$.

First cohomology of tangent sheaf of rational curve

Let $C$ be the union of 5 lines in general position in $\mathbb{P}^2$ (hence with 10 pairwise intersection points $P_{ij}$, $1 \le i < j \le 5$) and let $F$ be the equation of $C$. We have the standar …

Segre embedding and intersections by hyperplanes

This is a standard projective duality argument. Let $W = H^0(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^8}(1))$. Consider the variety $X$ of tuples $$ (P,H_1,H_2,H_3) \in V \times W^{\oplus 3} $$ such that $V \cap H_1 \ …

Deformation of "Hecke modification"

A morphism $F \to E$ can be thought of as a representation of the quiver $$ A_2 = \{ \bullet \to \bullet \} $$ in the category $Coh(X)$. The category $Rep(A_2,Coh(X))$ is abelian, so what you need is …

Accumulation of algebraic subvarieties: Near one subvariety there are many others (?)

Apart of the deformations of $X$ you can consider deformations of any subscheme supported on $X$ (that is of any subscheme $Y$ such that $Y_{red} = X$). Another choice is to consider deformations of a …

On the degeneration of the elliptic surface $E(n)$

You can degenerate the covering $z^n \colon \mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^1$ to a morphism $$ \mathbb{P}^1 \cup \mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^1 $$ equal to $z^{n-2}$ and $z^2$ on the first and second copi …
