Preface The International Conference "Algebraic Geometry and Analytic Geometry, Tokyo 1990" was held at Tokyo Metropolitan University and the Tokyo Training Center of Daihyaku Mutual Life Insurance Co., from August 13 through August 17, 1990, under the co-sponsorship of the Mathematical Society of Japan. It was one of the satellite conferences of ICM90, Kyoto, and approximately 300 participants, including more than 100 from overseas, attended the conference. The academic program was divided into two parts, the morning sessions and the afternoon sessions. The morning sessions were held at Tokyo Metropolitan University, and two one-hour plenary lectures were delivered every day. The afternoon sessions at the Tokyo Training Center, intended for a more specialized audience, consisted of four separate subsessions: Arithemetic Geometry, Algebraic Geometry, Analytic Geometry I and Analytic Geometry II. This book contains papers which grew out of the talks at the conference. The committee in charge of the organization and program consisted of A. Fujiki, K. Kato, T. Katsura, Y. Kawamata, Y. Miyaoka, S. Mori, K. Saito, N. Sasakura, T. Suwa and K. Watanabe. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many mathematicians and students who cooperated to make the conference possible, especially Professors T. Fukui, S. Ishii, Y. Kitaoka, M. Miyanishi, Y. Namikawa, T. Oda, F. Sakai and T. Shioda for their valuable advice and assistance in organizing this conference. Financial support was mainly provided by personal contributions from Professors M. Nagata, T. Shioda and S. Iitaka as well as grants and fellowships from the following in­ stitutions: The Inamori Foundation, Inoue Foundation for Science, Japan Association for Mathematical Sciences, The Nikko Securities Co., Ltd. Tokyo Metropolitan Univ .. We would like to thank Tokyo Metropolitan University for making available the lecture hall for the morning sessions. Last, but not least, we would like to express our hearty gratitude to Daihyaku Mutual Life Insurance Co. for generously providing facilities and accommodations.

  • Chapter 11. Three Dimensional Analytic Geometry and Vectors
    Chapter 11. Three dimensional analytic geometry and vectors. Section 11.5 Quadric surfaces. Curves in R2 : x2 y2 ellipse + =1 a2 b2 x2 y2 hyperbola − =1 a2 b2 parabola y = ax2 or x = by2 A quadric surface is the graph of a second degree equation in three variables. The most general such equation is Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + Dxy + Exz + F yz + Gx + Hy + Iz + J =0, where A, B, C, ..., J are constants. By translation and rotation the equation can be brought into one of two standard forms Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + J =0 or Ax2 + By2 + Iz =0 In order to sketch the graph of a quadric surface, it is useful to determine the curves of intersection of the surface with planes parallel to the coordinate planes. These curves are called traces of the surface. Ellipsoids The quadric surface with equation x2 y2 z2 + + =1 a2 b2 c2 is called an ellipsoid because all of its traces are ellipses. 2 1 x y 3 2 1 z ±1 ±2 ±3 ±1 ±2 The six intercepts of the ellipsoid are (±a, 0, 0), (0, ±b, 0), and (0, 0, ±c) and the ellipsoid lies in the box |x| ≤ a, |y| ≤ b, |z| ≤ c Since the ellipsoid involves only even powers of x, y, and z, the ellipsoid is symmetric with respect to each coordinate plane. Example 1. Find the traces of the surface 4x2 +9y2 + 36z2 = 36 1 in the planes x = k, y = k, and z = k. Identify the surface and sketch it. Hyperboloids Hyperboloid of one sheet.

What Is Algebraic Geometry? Linear Algebra can be seen (in parts at least) as the study of systems of linear equations. In geometric terms, this can be interpreted as the study of linear (or affine) subspaces of Cn (say). Algebraic Geometry generalizes this in a natural way be looking at systems of polynomial equations. Their geometric realizations (their solution sets in Cn, say) are called algebraic varieties. Many questions one can study in various parts of mathematics lead in a natural way to (systems of) polynomial equations, to which the methods of Algebraic Geometry can be applied. Algebraic Geometry provides a translation between algebra (solutions of equations) and geometry (points on algebraic varieties). The methods are mostly algebraic, but the geometry provides the intuition. Compared to Differential Geometry, in Algebraic Geometry we consider a rather restricted class of “manifolds” — those given by polynomial equations (we can allow “singularities”, however). For example, y = cos x defines a perfectly nice differentiable curve in the plane, but not an algebraic curve. In return, we can get stronger results, for example a criterion for the existence of solutions (in the complex numbers), or statements on the number of solutions (for example when intersecting two curves), or classification results.

  • Phylogenetic Algebraic Geometry
    PHYLOGENETIC ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY NICHOLAS ERIKSSON, KRISTIAN RANESTAD, BERND STURMFELS, AND SETH SULLIVANT Abstract. Phylogenetic algebraic geometry is concerned with certain complex projec- tive algebraic varieties derived from finite trees. Real positive points on these varieties represent probabilistic models of evolution. For small trees, we recover classical geometric objects, such as toric and determinantal varieties and their secant varieties, but larger trees lead to new and largely unexplored territory. This paper gives a self-contained introduction to this subject and offers numerous open problems for algebraic geometers. 1. Introduction Our title is meant as a reference to the existing branch of mathematical biology which is known as phylogenetic combinatorics. By “phylogenetic algebraic geometry” we mean the study of algebraic varieties which represent statistical models of evolution. For general background reading on phylogenetics we recommend the books by Felsenstein [11] and Semple-Steel [21]. They provide an excellent introduction to evolutionary trees, from the perspectives of biology, computer science, statistics and mathematics. They also offer numerous references to relevant papers, in addition to the more recent ones listed below. Phylogenetic algebraic geometry furnishes a rich source of interesting varieties, includ- ing familiar ones such as toric varieties, secant varieties and determinantal varieties. But these are very special cases, and one quickly encounters a cornucopia of new varieties. The objective of this paper is to give an introduction to this subject area, aimed at students and researchers in algebraic geometry, and to suggest some concrete research problems. The basic object in a phylogenetic model is a tree T which is rooted and has n labeled leaves.

  • Chapter 1: Analytic Geometry
    1 Analytic Geometry Much of the mathematics in this chapter will be review for you. However, the examples will be oriented toward applications and so will take some thought. In the (x,y) coordinate system we normally write the x-axis horizontally, with positive numbers to the right of the origin, and the y-axis vertically, with positive numbers above the origin. That is, unless stated otherwise, we take “rightward” to be the positive x- direction and “upward” to be the positive y-direction. In a purely mathematical situation, we normally choose the same scale for the x- and y-axes. For example, the line joining the origin to the point (a,a) makes an angle of 45◦ with the x-axis (and also with the y-axis). In applications, often letters other than x and y are used, and often different scales are chosen in the horizontal and vertical directions. For example, suppose you drop something from a window, and you want to study how its height above the ground changes from second to second. It is natural to let the letter t denote the time (the number of seconds since the object was released) and to let the letter h denote the height. For each t (say, at one-second intervals) you have a corresponding height h. This information can be tabulated, and then plotted on the (t, h) coordinate plane, as shown in figure 1.0.1. We use the word “quadrant” for each of the four regions into which the plane is divided by the axes: the first quadrant is where points have both coordinates positive, or the “northeast” portion of the plot, and the second, third, and fourth quadrants are counted off counterclockwise, so the second quadrant is the northwest, the third is the southwest, and the fourth is the southeast.

  • Chapter 2 Affine Algebraic Geometry
    Chapter 2 Affine Algebraic Geometry 2.1 The Algebraic-Geometric Dictionary The correspondence between algebra and geometry is closest in affine algebraic geom- etry, where the basic objects are solutions to systems of polynomial equations. For many applications, it suffices to work over the real R, or the complex numbers C. Since important applications such as coding theory or symbolic computation require finite fields, Fq , or the rational numbers, Q, we shall develop algebraic geometry over an arbitrary field, F, and keep in mind the important cases of R and C. For algebraically closed fields, there is an exact and easily motivated correspondence be- tween algebraic and geometric concepts. When the field is not algebraically closed, this correspondence weakens considerably. When that occurs, we will use the case of algebraically closed fields as our guide and base our definitions on algebra. Similarly, the strongest and most elegant results in algebraic geometry hold only for algebraically closed fields. We will invoke the hypothesis that F is algebraically closed to obtain these results, and then discuss what holds for arbitrary fields, par- ticularly the real numbers. Since many important varieties have structures which are independent of the field of definition, we feel this approach is justified—and it keeps our presentation elementary and motivated. Lastly, for the most part it will suffice to let F be R or C; not only are these the most important cases, but they are also the sources of our geometric intuitions. n Let A denote affine n-space over F. This is the set of all n-tuples (t1,...,tn) of elements of F.

  • 18.782 Arithmetic Geometry Lecture Note 1
    Introduction to Arithmetic Geometry 18.782 Andrew V. Sutherland September 5, 2013 1 What is arithmetic geometry? Arithmetic geometry applies the techniques of algebraic geometry to problems in number theory (a.k.a. arithmetic). Algebraic geometry studies systems of polynomial equations (varieties): f1(x1; : : : ; xn) = 0 . fm(x1; : : : ; xn) = 0; typically over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero (like C). In arithmetic geometry we usually work over non-algebraically closed fields (like Q), and often in fields of non-zero characteristic (like Fp), and we may even restrict ourselves to rings that are not a field (like Z). 2 Diophantine equations Example (Pythagorean triples { easy) The equation x2 + y2 = 1 has infinitely many rational solutions. Each corresponds to an integer solution to x2 + y2 = z2. Example (Fermat's last theorem { hard) xn + yn = zn has no rational solutions with xyz 6= 0 for integer n > 2. Example (Congruent number problem { unsolved) A congruent number n is the integer area of a right triangle with rational sides. For example, 5 is the area of a (3=2; 20=3; 41=6) triangle. This occurs iff y2 = x3 − n2x has infinitely many rational solutions. Determining when this happens is an open problem (solved if BSD holds). 3 Hilbert's 10th problem Is there a process according to which it can be determined in a finite number of operations whether a given Diophantine equation has any integer solutions? The answer is no; this problem is formally undecidable (proved in 1970 by Matiyasevich, building on the work of Davis, Putnam, and Robinson). It is unknown whether the problem of determining the existence of rational solutions is undecidable or not (it is conjectured to be so).

    INTRODUCTION TO ANALYTIC GEOMETRY BY PEECEY R SMITH, PH.D. N PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN THE SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL YALE UNIVERSITY AND AKTHUB SULLIVAN GALE, PH.D. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER GINN & COMPANY BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO LONDON COPYRIGHT, 1904, 1905, BY ARTHUR SULLIVAN GALE ALL BIGHTS RESERVED 65.8 GINN & COMPANY PRO- PRIETORS BOSTON U.S.A. PEE FACE In preparing this volume the authors have endeavored to write a drill book for beginners which presents, in a manner conform- ing with modern ideas, the fundamental concepts of the subject. The subject-matter is slightly more than the minimum required for the calculus, but only as much more as is necessary to permit of some choice on the part of the teacher. It is believed that the text is complete for students finishing their study of mathematics with a course in Analytic Geometry. The authors have intentionally avoided giving the book the form of a treatise on conic sections. Conic sections naturally appear, but chiefly as illustrative of general analytic methods. Attention is called to the method of treatment. The subject is developed after the Euclidean method of definition and theorem, without, however, adhering to formal presentation. The advan- tage is obvious, for the student is made sure of the exact nature of each acquisition. Again, each method is summarized in a rule stated in consecutive steps. This is a gain in clearness. Many illustrative examples are worked out in the text. Emphasis has everywhere been put upon the analytic side, that is, the student is taught to start from the equation.

  • Spacetime Structuralism
    Philosophy and Foundations of Physics 37 The Ontology of Spacetime D. Dieks (Editor) r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved DOI 10.1016/S1871-1774(06)01003-5 Chapter 3 Spacetime Structuralism Jonathan Bain Humanities and Social Sciences, Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY 11201, USA Abstract In this essay, I consider the ontological status of spacetime from the points of view of the standard tensor formalism and three alternatives: twistor theory, Einstein algebras, and geometric algebra. I briefly review how classical field theories can be formulated in each of these formalisms, and indicate how this suggests a structural realist interpre- tation of spacetime. 1. Introduction This essay is concerned with the following question: If it is possible to do classical field theory without a 4-dimensional differentiable manifold, what does this suggest about the ontological status of spacetime from the point of view of a semantic realist? In Section 2, I indicate why a semantic realist would want to do classical field theory without a manifold. In Sections 3–5, I indicate the extent to which such a feat is possible. Finally, in Section 6, I indicate the type of spacetime realism this feat suggests. 2. Manifolds and manifold substantivalism In classical field theories presented in the standard tensor formalism, spacetime is represented by a differentiable manifold M and physical fields are represented by tensor fields that quantify over the points of M. To some authors, this has 38 J. Bain suggested an ontological commitment to spacetime points (e.g., Field, 1989; Earman, 1989). This inclination might be seen as being motivated by a general semantic realist desire to take successful theories at their face value, a desire for a literal interpretation of the claims such theories make (Earman, 1993; Horwich, 1982).
