Nef cones of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces

Barbara Bolognese, Jack Huizenga, Yinbang Lin, Eric Riedl, Benjamin Schmidt, Matthew Woolf and Xiaolei Zhao

Vol. 10 (2016), No. 4, 907–930
Abstract

Let X be a smooth projective surface of irregularity 0. The Hilbert scheme X[n] of n points on X parametrizes zero-dimensional subschemes of X of length n. We discuss general methods for studying the cone of ample divisors on X[n]. We then use these techniques to compute the cone of ample divisors on X[n] for several surfaces where the cone was previously unknown. Our examples include families of surfaces of general type and del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1. The methods rely on Bridgeland stability and the positivity lemma of Bayer and Macrì.

A correction was posted on 16 June 2018 in an online supplement.
