Algebraic structures behind Hilbert schemes and wreath products
In this paper we review various strikingly parallel algebraic structures behind Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces and certain finite groups called the wreath products. We explain connections among Hilbert schemes, wreath products, infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, and vertex algebras. As an application we further describe the cohomology ring structure of the Hilbert schemes. We organize th...
متن کاملHilbert schemes and symmetric products: a dictionary
Given a closed complex manifold X of even dimension, we develop a systematic (vertex) algebraic approach to study the rational orbifold cohomology rings H∗ orb(X /Sn) of the symmetric products. We present constructions and establish results on the rings H∗ orb(X /Sn) including two sets of ring generators, universality and stability, as well as connections with vertex operators and W algebras. T...
متن کاملHilbert Schemes of Points on the Minimal Resolution and Soliton Equations
The equivariant and ordinary cohomology rings of Hilbert schemes of points on the minimal resolution C2//Γ for cyclic Γ are studied using vertex operator technique, and connections between these rings and the class algebras of wreath products are explicitly established. We further show that certain generating functions of equivariant intersection numbers on the Hilbert schemes and related modul...
متن کاملUniversality and stability of cohomology rings of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces
We prove that the cohomology ring structure of the Hilbert scheme X [n] of n-points on a projective surface X is determined in a universal way by the cohomology ring of X. In particular, if there exists a ring isomorphism H ∗(X) → H∗(Y ) for two projective surfaces X and Y which matches the canonical classes, then the cohomology rings of the Hilbert schemes X [n] and Y [n] are isomorphic for ev...
متن کاملUniversal rings arising in geometry and group theory
Various algebraic structures in geometry and group theory have appeared to be governed by certain universal rings. Examples include: the cohomology rings of Hilbert schemes of points on projective surfaces and quasiprojective surfaces; the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology rings of the symmetric products; the class algebras of wreath products, as well as their associated graded algebras with respec...
