Components of the nested Hilbert scheme of few points
Abstract
We study the existence and the schematic structure of elementary components of the nested Hilbert scheme on a smooth quasi-projective variety. Precisely, we find a new lower bound for the existence of non-smoothable nestings of fat points on a smooth $n$-fold, for $n\geqslant 4$. Moreover, we implement a systematic method to build generically non-reduced elementary components. We also investigate the problem of irreducibility of the Hilbert scheme of points on a singular hypersurface of $\mathbb A^3$. Explicitly, we show that the Hilbert scheme of points on a hypersurface of $\mathbb{A}^3$ having a singularity of multiplicity at least 5 admits elementary components.
