Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Jack Hall (Stanford)

Topic:
The Hilbert stack
Description:
The Hilbert scheme of projective space is a fundamental moduli space in algebraic geometry. The naive generalization of the Hilbert scheme can fail to exist for some spaces of interest, however. D. Rydh and I have generalized the Hilbert scheme, to the Hilbert stack, and have shown that the Hilbert stack is always algebraic. I will describe the Hilbert stack and some of the ideas behind the proof.
