3 Background Outline 1 Background 2 Recursion 3 Future Work 3/26

4 Background The Problem Object of Study: The Hilbert scheme of type (m 0, m 1 ). Long Term Goal: Find the Poincaré polynomial of the punctual Hilbert scheme of type (m 0, m 1 ). Why? The Poincarè polynomial is a topological invariant, meaning it doesn t change with stretching and bending. Short Term Goal: Count the points of the punctual Hilbert scheme of type (m 0, m 1 ). Why? We can use this to find a generating function, which we can then use in the Weil conjectures, to find the Poincaré polynomial. 4/26

5 Background What is the punctual Hilbert scheme of type (m 0, m 1 )? We ll first introduce some background: 1 Monomial ideals 2 Young diagrams 3 Group actions 4 Colored Young diagrams 5/26

6 Background Ideals Definition An ideal I k[x, y] for a field k is a set of polynomials, but with a few rules attached: α, β I implies α + β I α I and m k[x, y] implies α m I Theorem Every polynomial ideal can be written as g 1,..., g n = {f 1 g f n g n f i k[x, y]}, which is the set of all k[x, y] linear combinations of the g i. These g i are called the generators. 6/26

7 Background Monomial ideals Definition A monomial ideal is an ideal generated by monomials. Example x = {Ax A k[x, y]} x 3, y 3 = {Ax 3 + By 3 A, B k[x, y]} are monomial ideals within the polynomial ring k[x, y]. x + y = {A(x + y) A k[x, y]} is not a monomial ideal. 7/26

8 Background Young diagrams A Young diagram is a visual representation of a monomial ideal. Example We ll construct a Young diagram for the monomial ideal x 4, x 2 y, xy 3, y 4 k[x, y] y y4 xy3 x 2 y x 4 x 8/26

9 Background Group actions Our Z 2 group action is defined by x x, y y Example Under the given transformation: 1 = x 0 y 0 ( x) 0 ( y) 0 = 1, 1 1 x 3 y 5 ( x) 3 ( y) 5 = x 3 y 5, x 3 y 5 x 3 y 5 y 5 = x 0 y 5 ( x) 0 ( y) 5 = y 5, y 5 y 5 and in general, x a y b ( 1) a+b x a y b 9/26

10 Background Colored Young diagrams We can combine the Young diagram and the group action to color the Young diagram. Procedure: 1 Draw the Young diagram as before 2 If the monomial for a box maps to itself, we color the box with a 0 3 If the monomial for a box maps to the negative of itself, we color the box with a 1 10/26

11 Background Example: coloring a Young diagram Example Recall our previous ideal, x 4, x 2 y, xy 3, y 4 k[x, y]. We can see that 1 1, x x, y y, xy xy, etc. y x y x 11/26

12 Background And finally... the punctual Hilbert scheme The punctual Hilbert scheme of type (m 0, m 1 ) is defined as { } Hilb (m 0,m 1 ) 0 k 2 k[x, y] = I k[x, y] m 0 ρ 0 + m 1 ρ 1, V (I) = 0 I where k = F q is a finite field of order q. But the subset of Hilb (m 0,m 1 ) 0 k 2 made of monomial ideals looks like {Young diagrams with m 0 0 s and m 1 1 s} 12/26

13 Background Example: punctual Hilbert scheme of type (4, 5) Example Recall the monomial ideal x 4, x 2 y, xy 3, y 4 k[x, y]. y x By definition, the ideal x 4, x 2 y, xy 3, y 4 is in Hilb (4,5) 0 k 2, since the ideal has 4 0 s and 5 1 s when represented as a colored Young diagram under our group action. 13/26

14 Recursion Outline 1 Background 2 Recursion 3 Future Work 14/26

15 Recursion Stratified Hilbert schemes The stratified punctual Hilbert scheme of type (m 0, m 1 ), (d 0, d 1 ), written Hilb (m 0,m 1 ),(d 0,d 1 ) 0 k 2, is a subset of Hilb (m 0,m 1 ) 0 k 2. The strata is determined by the first box outside the Young diagram in each row. d 0 = number of those boxes containing zero d 1 = number of those boxes containing one. 15/26

16 Recursion Stratified Hilbert scheme example Example y 1 0 y 4, xy 3, x 2 y, x 4 Hilb (4,5),(3,1) 0 k x Hilb (m 0,m 1 ) 0 k 2 = d 0,d 1 0 Hilb (m 0,m 1 ),(d 0,d 1 ) 0 k 2 #Hilb (m 0,m 1 ) 0 k 2 = d 0,d 1 0 #Hilb (m 0,m 1 ),(d 0,d 1 ) 0 k 2 16/26

17 Recursion Example Example y x y x y x y 0 1 x 17/26

18 Recursion Recursion #Hilb (m 0,m 1 ),(d 0,d 1 ) 0 k 2 = where 0 d 0 d 1 0 d 1 d 0 d 1 d 0 =d 0 d 1 +( 1) (d 0 +d 1 ) ((d 0 +d 1 +d 0+d 1 )%2) r = { d 0 if d 0 + d 1 0 mod 2 d 1 if d 0 + d 1 1 mod 2 Let a, b, c, d Z 0. The base cases are q r #Hilb (m 0 d 1,m 1 d 0 ),(d 0,d 1 ) 0 k 2 #Hilb (0,b>0),(c,d) 0 k 2 = 0 #Hilb (a,b),(c>b,d) 0 k 2 = 0 #Hilb (a,b),(c,d>a) 0 k 2 = 0 #Hilb (a 0,b),(0,0) 0 k 2 = 0 #Hilb (0,0),(0,0) 0 k 2 = 1 18/26

19 Recursion Why (m 0 d 1, m 1 d 0 )? Recurse by chopping off first column and sliding diagram over, then counting which ideals give same diagram Same as removing last block in each row 0 outside diagram 1 in last box 1 outside diagram 0 in last box Also requires d 0 d 1 and d 1 d 0 in smaller scheme /26

20 Recursion Recursion #Hilb (m 0,m 1 ),(d 0,d 1 ) 0 k 2 = where 0 d 0 d 1 0 d 1 d 0 d 1 d 0 =d 0 d 1 +( 1) (d 0 +d 1 ) ((d 0 +d 1 +d 0+d 1 )%2) r = { d 0 if d 0 + d 1 0 mod 2 d 1 if d 0 + d 1 1 mod 2 Let a, b, c, d Z 0. The base cases are q r #Hilb (m 0 d 1,m 1 d 0 ),(d 0,d 1 ) 0 k 2 #Hilb (0,b>0),(c,d) 0 k 2 = 0 #Hilb (a,b),(c>b,d) 0 k 2 = 0 #Hilb (a,b),(c,d>a) 0 k 2 = 0 #Hilb (a 0,b),(0,0) 0 k 2 = 0 #Hilb (0,0),(0,0) 0 k 2 = 1 20/26

21 Recursion Some Special Cases #Hilb (k,k+1),(k+1,k 1) 0 k 2 = 1 #Hilb (k,k+1),(k+1,k 1) 0 k 2 = 1 #Hilb (k,k),(1,0) 0 k 2 = q k #Hilb (k+1,k),(0,1) 0 k 2 = q k #Hilb (k,k+1),(2,0) 0 k 2 = k 2 q k 1 #Hilb (k+1,k),(0,2) 0 k 2 = k 2 q k 21/26

22 Future Work Outline 1 Background 2 Recursion 3 Future Work 22/26

23 Future Work Generating Function Prove Dr. Gholampour s conjectured generating function for the number of points in the punctual Hilbert scheme of n points n 0,n 1 0 (#Hilb n 0,n 1 ) t n 0 0 tn 1 1 = 1 (1 q j 1 (t 0 t 1 ) j )(1 q j (t 0 t 1 ) j ) j 1 m Z t m2 0 t m2 +m 1 23/26

Smoothness and the Zariski tangent space We want to give an algebraic notion of the tangent space. In differential geometry, tangent vectors are equivalence classes of maps of intervals in R into the
