We show that several properties of the theory of Rees algebras of modules become more transparent using the category of coherent functors rather than working directly with modules. In particular, we show that the Rees algebra is induced by a canonical map of coherent functors.
We introduce the good Hilbert functor and prove that it is algebraic. This functor generalizes various versions of the Hilbert moduli problem, such as the multigraded Hilbert scheme and the invariant Hilbert scheme. Moreover, we generalize a result concerning formal GAGA for good moduli spaces.
We describe explicitly how certain standard opens of the Hilbert scheme of points are embedded into Grassmannians. The standard opens of the Hilbert scheme that we consider are given as the intersection of a corresponding basic open affine of the Grassmannian and a closed stratum determined by a Fitting ideal.
We introduce the package LatticePolytopes for Macaulay2. The package provides methods for computations related to Cayley structures, local positivity and smoothness for lattice polytopes.
We study the projective spectrum of the Rees algebra of a module, and characterize it by a universal property. As applications, we give descriptions of universal flatifications of modules and of birational projective morphisms.
We prove a generalization of Gotzmann's persistence theorem in the case of modules with constant Hilbert polynomial. As a consequence, we show that the defining equations that give the embedding of a Quot scheme of points into a Grassmannian are given by a single Fitting ideal.
This paper concerns a generalization of the Rees algebra of ideals due to Eisenbud, Huneke and Ulrich that works for any finitely generated module over a noetherian ring. Their definition is in terms of maps to free modules. We give an intrinsic definition using divided powers.
