Hilbert schemes of points on smooth projective surfaces and generalized Kummer varieties with finite group actions (2201.09215v1)

Abstract: G\"ottsche and Soergel gave formulas for the Hodge numbers of Hilbert schemes of points on a smooth algebraic surface and the Hodge numbers of generalized Kummer varieties. When a smooth projective surface $S$ admits an action by a finite group $G$, we describe the action of $G$ on the Hodge pieces via point counting. Each element of $G$ gives a trace on $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{i}H^{i}(S^{[n]},\mathbb{C})q^{n}$. In the case that $S$ is a K3 surface or an abelian surface, the resulting generating functions give some interesting modular forms when $G$ acts faithfully and symplectically on $S$.
