The Hilbert scheme of a pair of linear spaces is a Mori dream space

Abstract

Let $H_{a,b}^n$ denote the component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point parameterizes an $a$-plane union a $b$-plane meeting transversely in $\mathbf{P}^n$. We describe the effective and nef cones of $H_{a,b}^n$ and determine when the component is Fano. Moreover, we show that $H_{a,b}^n$ is a Mori dream space for all values of $a,b,n$.
