Title: Questions and recent results on the Hilbert scheme of points.
Abstract: In the talk I will present the open questions and state of the
art on Hilbert schemes of points, focusing on the most accessible
questions. In one sentence: the Hilbert scheme parameterizes deformations
of finite rank algebras, which accounts for its usefulness, while it is
highly singular which accounts for the difficulties, jointly these
features make its investigation a very active area.
