Abstract:

We construct the derived version of the Hilbert scheme parametrizing subschemes in a given projective scheme $X$ with given Hilbert polynomial $h$. This is a dg-manifold (smooth dg-scheme) $RHilb_h(X)$ which carries a natural family of commutative (up to homotopy) dg-algebras, which over the usual Hilbert scheme is given by truncations of the homogeneous coordinate rings of subschemes in $X$. In particular, $RHilb_h(X)$ differs from $RQuot_n({\mathcal O_X})$, the derived Quot scheme constructed in our previous paper, which carries only a family of $A_\infty$-modules over the coordinate algebra of $X$. As an application, we construct the derived version of the moduli stack of stable maps of algebraic curves to a given projective variety $Y$, thus realizing the original suggestion of M. Kontsevich.
