Hilbert schemes of points and applications

Abstract

The thesis concerns Hilbert schemes of points and apart from mathematical results, contains small open problems and history sections, see the introduction for more details. The thesis has not been edited since 2017, see first page for more information. It is shared "as is" (in the language of GPL) solely due/thanks to several people who decided to refer to it.
