        Abstract
            
                Hilbert and Quot schemes of points are generally very pathological. However, recent results suggest that they are singular, but only mildly so, in a series of "boundary" cases. In the talk I will explain what is known and what is only conjectured. No prior knowledge of the Hilbert scheme is expected. Based on joint work with Ritvik Ramkumar and Alessio Sammartano.
