On singular Hilbert schemes of points: local structures and tautological sheaves

Abstract: We show an intrinsic version of Thomason's fixed point theorem. Then we determine the local structure of the Hilbert scheme of $\leq 7$ points in $\mathbb{A}^3$. In particular, we show that in these cases the points with the same extra dimension have the same singularity type. Using these results we compute the equivariant Hilbert functions at the singularities and verify a conjecture of Zhou on the Euler characteristics of tautological sheaves on Hilbert schemes of points on $\mathbb{P}^3$ for $\leq 6$ points.
