Abstract

We give an explicit recursive description of the Hilbert series and Gröbner bases for the family of quadratic ideals defining the jet schemes of a double point. We relate these recursions to the Rogers–Ramanujan identity and prove a conjecture of the second author, Oblomkov and Rasmussen.
