Higher solutions of hypergeometric systems and Dwork cohomology
We show that the Hilbert scheme of curves and Le Potier’s moduli space of stable pairs with one dimensional support have a common GIT construction. The two spaces correspond to chambers on either side of a wall in the space of GIT linearisations. We explain why this is not enough to prove the “DT/PT wall crossing conjecture” relating the invariants derived from these moduli spaces when the underlying variety is a 3-fold. We then give a gentle introduction to a small part of Joyce’s theory for such...
We compute the Hilbert series of the complex Grassmannian using invariant theoretic methods. This is made possible by showing that the denominator of the -Hilbert series is a Vandermonde-like determinant. We show that the -polynomial of the Grassmannian coincides with the -Narayana polynomial. A simplified formula for the -polynomial of Schubert varieties is given. Finally, we use a generalized hypergeometric Euler transform to find simplified formulae for the -Narayana numbers, i.e. the -polynomial...
