Using K-theory, we construct a map
from the tangent space to the Hilbert scheme at a point
to the local cohomology
group. We use this map
to answer (after slight modification) a question by Mark Green and
Phillip Griffiths on constructing a map from the tangent space
to the Hilbert scheme at
a point
to the tangent
space to the cycle group
.
