Canonical-divisor formula for Hilbert-scheme virtual classes

At least 21 years old · documented by

Let VV be a surface with pg(V)>0p_g(V)>0, let KK be an effective canonical divisor, and fix m∈H2(V,Z)m\in H^2(V,\mathbb{Z}). Let

C(m,K)=∑(D1,D2)∈α−1(K)(−1)h0(OD1(D1))l(D1,D2)[D1,D2]C(m,K)=\sum_{(D_1,D_2)\in\alpha^{-1}(K)}(-1)^{h^0(\mathcal{O}_{D_1}(D_1))}l(D_1,D_2)[D_1,D_2]

be the zero-cycle on Hilb⁡Vm×Pic⁡VmHilb⁡Vk−m\operatorname{Hilb}^{m}_V\times_{\operatorname{Pic}^{m}_V}\operatorname{Hilb}^{k-m}_V, and let p1,p2p_1,p_2 be its projections to the two Hilbert schemes. Canonical-divisor virtual-class conjecture. One has

[[Hilb⁡Vm]]=(p1)∗C(m,K),[[\operatorname{Hilb}^m_V]]=(p_1)_*C(m,K),

and

[[Hilb⁡Vk−m]]=(−1)χ(OV)+m(m−k)2(p2)∗C(m,K).[[\operatorname{Hilb}^{k-m}_V]]=(-1)^{\chi(\mathcal{O}_V)+\frac{m(m-k)}{2}}(p_2)_*C(m,K).

This is presented as the strongest algebro-geometric analogue hoped for after Witten’s formula for the Seiberg–Witten invariant; the source gives no proof or resolution.
