This is equivalent to infinitesimal extensions of P^1 by locally free sheaves. In this paper we study infinitesimal extensions of P^1, determine their structure and obtain upper and lower bounds for the length of the local rings of their Hilbert schemes at [P^].", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-10-08T12:23:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14C05" ], "keywords": [ "hilbert scheme", "local complete intersection variety", "study infinitesimal neighborhoods", "study infinitesimal extensions", "isolated rational curve" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001math.....10083T" } } }
