Generating Series in the Cohomology of Hilbert Schemes of Points on Surfaces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2010
Abstract
In the study of the rational cohomology of Hilbert schemes of points on a smooth surface, it is particularly interesting to understand the characteristic classes of the tautological bundles and the tangent bundle. In this note we pursue this study. We first collect all results appearing separately in the literature and prove some new formulas using Ohmoto's results on orbifold Chern classes on Hilbert schemes. We also explain the algorithmic counterpart of the topic: the cohomology space is governed by a vertex algebra that can be used to compute characteristic classes. We present an implementation of the vertex operators in the rewriting logic system MAUDE, and address observations and conjectures obtained after symbolic computations.
