Newton-Okounkov bodies for nested Hilbert schemes

Ian Cavey, Eugene Gorsky, Alexei Oblomkov, Joshua P. Turner

TL;DR

This work computes explicit structures for line bundles on the nested Hilbert scheme $\mathrm{Hilb}^{n,n+1}(\mathbb{C}^2)$ by relating global sections to Haiman's ideals $J$ and $I$ and using trailing-term bases. It establishes a birational bridge with $\mathrm{Hilb}^n(\mathrm{Bl}_0\mathbb{C}^2)$, enabling a transfer of sections and a compact description via $A^{m+k}[x,y] \cap I^k$, and it provides precise trailing-term combinatorics culminating in Newton-Okounkov bodies. The main contributions are (i) a sharp description of $H^0(\mathrm{Hilb}^{n,n+1}(\mathbb{C}^2), \mathcal{O}(m,k))$ in terms of $J^{m+k}\cap I^k$, (ii) a birational equivalence with the blow-up Hilbert scheme that clarifies cohomology and Picard data, and (iii) an explicit characterization of trailing terms, Hilbert series, and Newton-Okounkov bodies, revealing deep connections to wall-crossing and representation-theoretic combinatorics.

Abstract

We study sections of line bundles on the nested Hilbert scheme of points on the affine plane. We describe the spaces of sections in terms of certain ideals introduced by Haiman, and find explicit bases for them by analyzing the trailing terms in some monomial order. As a consequence, we compute the Newton-Okounkov bodies for nested Hilbert schemes.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

For $m,k\ge 0$ the global sections of $\mathcal{O}(m,k)$ are identified with the $\mathrm{sgn}(m+k)$-component of $J^{m+k}\cap I^k\subseteq \mathbb{C}[x_1,y_1,\dots,x_n,y_n,x,y]$, where the ideal $J$ is given by eq: def J intro and
