Hilbert scheme

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In algebraic geometry , the parameterized Hilbert scheme , the sub-schemes of projective space .

Hilbert functor

The Hilbert functor orders for a polynomial

to each scheme the set of over flat sub -schemas whose fibers have over points from Hilbert's polynomial .

Hilbert scheme

For a polynomial Hilbert scheme is that the functor performing scheme. is therefore the point functor of .

The uniqueness of follows from Yoneda's lemma , while existence is the result of a difficult construction.

Examples

Graßmann schemes

The Graßmann scheme parameterizes the sub -schemes of degree 1 and dimension in for . But these are exactly the schemes whose Hilbert polynomial is. The Graßmann scheme is the Hilbert scheme for this polynomial.

Hilbert scheme for hypersurfaces

The hypersurfaces of degree im are parameterized by the projective space of the vector space of the homogeneous polynomials of degree in variables. This projective space is the Hilbert scheme of the hypersurfaces of degree .
