We discuss various results on Hilbert schemes of lines and conics and automorphism groups of smooth Fano threefolds with Picard rank 1. Besides a general review of facts well known to experts, the paper contains some new results, for instance, we give a description of the Hilbert scheme of conics on any smooth Fano threefold of index 1 and genus 10. We also show that the action of the automorphism group of a Fano threefold X of index 2 (respectively, 1) on an irreducible component of its Hilbert scheme of lines (respectively, conics) is faithful if the anticanonical class of X is very ample with a possible exception of several explicit cases. We use these faithfulness results to prove finiteness of the automorphism groups of most Fano threefolds and classify explicitly all Fano threefolds with infinite automorphism group. We also discuss a derived category point of view on the Hilbert schemes of lines and conics, and use this approach to identify some of them.

In a recent paper the first two authors proved that the generating series of the Poincare polynomials of the quasihomogeneous Hilbert schemes of points in the plane has a simple decomposition in an infinite product. In this paper we give a very short geometrical proof of that formula. ...

We study relations in the Grothendieck ring of varieties which connect the Hilbert scheme of points on a cubic hypersurface Y with a certain moduli space of twisted cubic curves on Y. These relations are generalizations of the "beautiful" Y-F(Y) relation by Galkin and Shinder which connects Y with the Hilbert scheme of two points on Y and the Fano variety F(Y) of lines on Y. We ...

We show that G-Fano threefolds are mirror-modular.
1. Mirror maps are inversed reversed Hauptmoduln for moonshine subgroups of SL2(ℝ).
2. Quantum periods, shifted by an integer constant (eigenvalue of quantum operator on primitive cohomology) are expansions of weight 2 modular forms (theta-functions) in terms of inversed Hauptmoduln.
3. Products of inversed Hauptmoduln with some fractional powers of shifted ...

The article contains a new proof that the Hilbert scheme of irreducible surfaces of degree m in ℙ m+1 is irreducible except m = 4. In the case m = 4 the Hilbert scheme consists of two irreducible components explicitly described in the article. The main idea of our approach is to use the proof ...

We find a relation between a cubic hypersurface Y and its Fano variety of lines F(Y) in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. We prove that if the class of an affine line is not a zero-divisor in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, then Fano variety of lines on a smooth rational cubic fourfold is birational ...

Marc Haiman has reduced Macdonald Positivity Conjecture to a statement about geometry of the Hilbert scheme of points on the plane, and formulated a generalization of the conjecture where the symmetric group is replaced by the wreath product of S_n and Z/rZ.

The quantum period of a variety X is a generating function for certain Gromov-Witten invariants of X which plays an important role in mirror symmetry. In this paper we compute the quantum periods of all 3-dimensional Fano manifolds. In particular we show that 3-dimensional Fano manifolds with very ample anticanonical bundle have mirrors given by ...

We introduce the notion of an instanton bundle on a Fano threefold of index 2. For such bundles we give an analogue of a monadic description and discuss the curve of jumping lines. The cases of threefolds of degree 5 and 4 are considered in a greater detail. ...

We consider the construction of refined Chern-Simons torus knot invariants by M. Aganagic and S. Shakirov from the DAHA viewpoint of I. Cherednik. We prove Cherednik's conjecture on the stabilization of superpolynomials, and then use the results of O. Schiffmann and E. Vasserot to relate knot invariants with the Hilbert scheme of points on the ...

We define a deformation of the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of a link L depending on a choice of parameters for each component of L. We conjecture that this invariant restores the missing symmetry of the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology, and in addition satisfies a number of predictions coming from a conjectural connection with Hilbert schemes of points ...

We conjecturally extract the triply graded Khovanov–Rozansky homology of the (m,n) torus knot from the unique finite-dimensional simple representation of the rational DAHA of type A, rank n-1, and central character m/n. The conjectural differentials of Gukov, Dunfield, and the third author receive an explicit algebraic expression in this picture, yielding a prescription for the ...

We construct a categorification of the maximal commutative subalgebra of the type A Hecke algebra. Specifically, we propose a monoidal functor from the (symmetric) monoidal category of coherent sheaves on the flag Hilbert scheme to the (non-symmetric) monoidal category of Soergel bimodules. The adjoint of this functor allows one to match the Hochschild homology of ...

We conjecture an expression for the dimensions of the Khovanov–Rozansky HOMFLY homology groups of the link of a plane curve singularity in terms of the weight polynomials of Hilbert schemes of points scheme-theoretically supported on the singularity. The conjecture specializes to our previous conjecture (2012) relating the HOMFLY polynomial to the Euler numbers of the ...
