On G/N-Hilb of N-Hilb

Abstract

In this paper we consider the iterated G-equivariant Hilbert scheme G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb) and prove that G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb(C^3)) is a crepant resolution of C^3/G isomorphic to the moduli space of θ-stable representations of the McKay quiver for certain stability condition θ. We provide several explicit examples to illustrate this construction. We also consider the problem of when G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb) is isomorphic to G-Hilb showing the fact that these spaces are most of the times different.

Final version. Explanations improved throughout the paper and mistakes in some statements have been corrected; (old) sections 2.2 and 3.1 have been expanded into new sections; (old) section 5 have been reorganised and several results in it have been extended.
