Abstract
Let $X$ be a Mori dream K3 surface of Picard rank $2$. We compute the nef cone of the Hilbert scheme $X^{[n]}$ of $n$ points on $X$ for large $n$ using Bridgeland stability methods. We also find bounds on the nef cone for small $n$. Studying the geometry of a $2$-to-$1$ cover $X\rightarrow Q$ of a smooth quadric $Q$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$, and its induced rational map $X^{[2]}\dashrightarrow Q^{[2]}$ on the Hilbert schemes, we calculate the nef cone of $X^{[2]}$ in a particular case. Finally, we also find the nef cone of the nested Hilbert scheme $X^{[n,n+1]}$ for large $n$.
