Abstract:
Carrying out the Minimal Model Program for moduli spaces is a classical and extremely challenging problem. In this talk, we will deal with a particular moduli space, namely the Hilbert scheme of points on a surface with irregularity zero. After explaining the connection between the birational models of a variety and the combinatorics of its Nef cone, we will show how Bridgeland stability conditions are a powerful machinery to produce extremal rays in the Nef cone of the Hilbert scheme. Time permitting, we will give a complete description of the Nef cone in some examples of low Picard rank. This is joint work with J. Huizenga, Y. Lin, E.Riedl, B. Schmidt, M. Woolf and X. Zhao.
