Combinatorics, Symmetric Functions, and Hilbert Schemes

چکیده
We survey the proof of a series of conjectures in combinatorics using new results on the geometry of Hilbert schemes. The combinatorial results include the positivity conjecture for Macdonald’s symmetric functions, and the “n!” and “(n + 1)n−1” conjectures relating Macdonald polynomials to the characters of doubly-graded Sn modules. To make the treatment self-contained, we include background material from combinatorics, symmetric function theory, representation theory and geometry. At the end we discuss future directions, new conjectures and related work of Ginzburg, Kumar and Thomsen, Gordon, and Haglund and Loehr.

The Cohomology Rings of Hilbert Schemes via Jack Polynomials
Fundamental and deep connections have been developed in recent years between the geometry of Hilbert schemes X [n] of points on a (quasi-)projective surface X and combinatorics of symmetric functions. Among distinguished classes of symmetric functions, let us mention the monomial symmetric functions, Schur polynomials, Jack polynomials (which depend on a Jack parameter), and Macdonald polynomia...
متن کاملJack Polynomials and Hilbert Schemes of Points on Surfaces
The Jack (symmetric) polynomials P (α) λ (x) form a class of symmetric polynomials which are indexed by a partition λ and depend rationally on a parameter α. They reduced to the Schur polynomials when α = 1, and to other classical families of symmetric polynomials for several specific parameters. Recently they attracts attention from various points of view, for example the integrable systems an...
متن کاملThe geometry of the parabolic Hilbert schemes
Let X be a smooth projective surface and D be a smooth divisor over an algebraically closed field k. In this paper, we discuss the moduli schemes of the ideals of points of X with parabolic structures at D. They are called parabolic Hilbert schemes. The first result is that the parabolic Hilbert schemes are smooth. And then some of the studies of Ellingsrud-Strømme, Göttsche, Cheah, Nakajima an...
متن کاملLimits of Modified Higher q,t-Catalan Numbers
The q, t-Catalan numbers can be defined using rational functions, geometry related to Hilbert schemes, symmetric functions, representation theory, Dyck paths, partition statistics, or Dyck words. After decades of intensive study, it was eventually proved that all these definitions are equivalent. In this paper, we study the similar situation for higher q, t-Catalan numbers, where the equivalenc...
متن کاملStable Hilbert series as related to the measurement of quantum entanglement
We compute a stable formula for the Hilbert series of the invariant algebra of polynomial functions on ⊗r i=1 Cni under the action of U(n1)×· · ·×U(nr), when viewed as real vector space. This situation has a physical interpretation as it is the quantum analog of an r-particle classical system in which the ith particle has ni classical states. The stable formula involves only elementary combinat...
