  • The Jouanolou-Thomason Homotopy Lemma
    The Jouanolou-Thomason homotopy lemma Aravind Asok February 9, 2009 1 Introduction The goal of this note is to prove what is now known as the Jouanolou-Thomason homotopy lemma or simply \Jouanolou's trick." Our main reason for discussing this here is that i) most statements (that I have seen) assume unncessary quasi-projectivity hypotheses, and ii) most applications of the result that I know (e.g., in homotopy K-theory) appeal to the result as merely a \black box," while the proof indicates that the construction is quite geometric and relatively explicit. For simplicity, throughout the word scheme means separated Noetherian scheme. Theorem 1.1 (Jouanolou-Thomason homotopy lemma). Given a smooth scheme X over a regular Noetherian base ring k, there exists a pair (X;~ π), where X~ is an affine scheme, smooth over k, and π : X~ ! X is a Zariski locally trivial smooth morphism with fibers isomorphic to affine spaces. 1 Remark 1.2. In terms of an A -homotopy category of smooth schemes over k (e.g., H(k) or H´et(k); see [MV99, x3]), the map π is an A1-weak equivalence (use [MV99, x3 Example 2.4]. Thus, up to A1-weak equivalence, any smooth k-scheme is an affine scheme smooth over k. 2 An explicit algebraic form Let An denote affine space over Spec Z. Let An n 0 denote the scheme quasi-affine and smooth over 2m Spec Z obtained by removing the fiber over 0. Let Q2m−1 denote the closed subscheme of A (with coordinates x1; : : : ; x2m) defined by the equation X xixm+i = 1: i Consider the following simple situation.

  • NOTES on CARTIER and WEIL DIVISORS Recall: Definition 0.1. A
    NOTES ON CARTIER AND WEIL DIVISORS AKHIL MATHEW Abstract. These are notes on divisors from Ravi Vakil's book [2] on scheme theory that I prepared for the Foundations of Algebraic Geometry seminar at Harvard. Most of it is a rewrite of chapter 15 in Vakil's book, and the originality of these notes lies in the mistakes. I learned some of this from [1] though. Recall: Definition 0.1. A line bundle on a ringed space X (e.g. a scheme) is a locally free sheaf of rank one. The group of isomorphism classes of line bundles is called the Picard group and is denoted Pic(X). Here is a standard source of line bundles. 1. The twisting sheaf 1.1. Twisting in general. Let R be a graded ring, R = R0 ⊕ R1 ⊕ ::: . We have discussed the construction of the scheme ProjR. Let us now briefly explain the following additional construction (which will be covered in more detail tomorrow). L Let M = Mn be a graded R-module. Definition 1.1. We define the sheaf Mf on ProjR as follows. On the basic open set D(f) = SpecR(f) ⊂ ProjR, we consider the sheaf associated to the R(f)-module M(f). It can be checked easily that these sheaves glue on D(f) \ D(g) = D(fg) and become a quasi-coherent sheaf Mf on ProjR. Clearly, the association M ! Mf is a functor from graded R-modules to quasi- coherent sheaves on ProjR. (For R reasonable, it is in fact essentially an equiva- lence, though we shall not need this.) We now set a bit of notation.

  • 4. Coherent Sheaves Definition 4.1. If (X,O X) Is a Locally Ringed Space
    4. Coherent Sheaves Definition 4.1. If (X; OX ) is a locally ringed space, then we say that an OX -module F is locally free if there is an open affine cover fUig of X such that FjUi is isomorphic to a direct sum of copies of OUi . If the number of copies r is finite and constant, then F is called locally free of rank r (aka a vector bundle). If F is locally free of rank one then we way say that F is invertible (aka a line bundle). The group of all invertible sheaves under tensor product, denoted Pic(X), is called the Picard group of X. A sheaf of ideals I is any OX -submodule of OX . Definition 4.2. Let X = Spec A be an affine scheme and let M be an A-module. M~ is the sheaf which assigns to every open subset U ⊂ X, the set of functions a s: U −! Mp; p2U which can be locally represented at p as a=g, a 2 M, g 2 R, p 2= Ug ⊂ U. Lemma 4.3. Let A be a ring and let M be an A-module. Let X = Spec A. ~ (1) M is a OX -module. ~ (2) If p 2 X then Mp is isomorphic to Mp. ~ (3) If f 2 A then M(Uf ) is isomorphic to Mf . Proof. (1) is clear and the rest is proved mutatis mutandis as for the structure sheaf. Definition 4.4.

  • Generalized Divisors and Reflexive Sheaves
    GENERALIZED DIVISORS AND REFLEXIVE SHEAVES KARL SCHWEDE 1. Preliminary Commutative Algebra We introduce the notions of depth and of when a local ring (or module over a local ring) is \S2". These notions are found in most books on commutative algebra, see for example [Mat89, Section 16] or [Eis95, Section 18]. Another excellent book that is focussed on these ideas is [BH93]. We won't be focussing on the commutative algebra, but one should be aware, at the very least, that this background exists. In particular, we won't really use any of the theory on Cohen-Macaulay rings. However, since one ought to build up the same machinery in order to define S2, we include these definitions as well. All rings will be assumed to be noetherian. Definition 1.1. Let (R; m) be a local ring and let M be a finite R-module (which means finitely generated). An element r 2 R is said to be M-regular if rx 6= 0 for all x 2 M, x 6= 0 (in other words, r is not a zero divisor on M). A sequence of elements r1; : : : ; rn 2 R is said to be M-regular if (i) ri is a regular M=(r1; : : : ; ri−1) element for all i ≥ 1 (in particular r1 is M-regular) (ii) (r1; : : : ; rn)M ( M (that is, the containment is proper). Remark 1.2. If condition (i) is satisfied, but condition (ii) is not necessarily satisfied then such a sequence is called weakly M-regular. Remark 1.3. Notice that condition (ii) implies in a regular sequence, all ri 2 m 2 R.

  • 4 Sheaves of Modules, Vector Bundles, and (Quasi-)Coherent Sheaves
    4 Sheaves of modules, vector bundles, and (quasi-)coherent sheaves “If you believe a ring can be understood geometrically as functions its spec- trum, then modules help you by providing more functions with which to measure and characterize its spectrum.” – Andrew Critch, from MathOver- flow.net So far we discussed general properties of sheaves, in particular, of rings. Similar as in the module theory in abstract algebra, the notion of sheaves of modules allows us to increase our understanding of a given ringed space (or a scheme), and to provide further techniques to play with functions, or function-like objects. There are particularly important notions, namely, quasi-coherent and coherent sheaves. They are analogous notions of the usual modules (respectively, finitely generated modules) over a given ring. They also generalize the notion of vector bundles. Definition 38. Let (X, ) be a ringed space. A sheaf of -modules, or simply an OX OX -module, is a sheaf on X such that OX F (i) the group (U) is an (U)-module for each open set U X; F OX ✓ (ii) the restriction map (U) (V ) is compatible with the module structure via the F !F ring homomorphism (U) (V ). OX !OX A morphism of -modules is a morphism of sheaves such that the map (U) F!G OX F ! (U) is an (U)-module homomorphism for every open U X. G OX ✓ Example 39. Let (X, ) be a ringed space, , be -modules, and let ' : OX F G OX F!G be a morphism. Then ker ', im ', coker ' are again -modules. If is an - OX F 0 ✓F OX submodule, then the quotient sheaf / is an -module.

    DEFORMATIONS OF SEMI-SMOOTH VARIETIES BARBARA FANTECHI, MARCO FRANCIOSI AND RITA PARDINI Abstract. For a singular variety X, an essential step to determine its smoothability and study its deformations is the understanding of the 1 1 tangent sheaf and of the sheaf TX := Ext (ΩX ; OX ). A variety is semi-smooth if its singularities are ´etale locally the product of a double crossing point (uv = 0) or a pinch point (u2 − v2w = 0) with affine space; equivalently, if it can be obtained by gluing a smooth variety along a smooth divisor via an involution with smooth quotient. Our main result is the explicit computation of the tangent sheaf and the 1 sheaf TX for a semi-smooth variety X in terms of the gluing data. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 14D15, secondary 14B07, 14B10, 14J17. keywords: semi-smooth, infinitesimal deformations, push-out scheme Contents 1.

  • K-Stability of Relative Flag Varieties
    K-stability of relative flag varieties Anton Isopoussu University of Cambridge Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics Churchill College arXiv:1307.7638v2 [math.AG] 10 Nov 2015 April 2015 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract We generalise partial results about the Yau-Tian-Donaldson correspondence on ruled manifolds to bundles whose fibre is a classical flag variety. This is done using Chern class computations involving the combinatorics of Schur functors. The strongest results are obtained when working over a Riemann surface. Weaker partial results are obtained for adiabatic polarisations in the general case. We develop the notion of relative K-stability which embeds the idea of working over a base variety into the theory of K-stability. We equip the set of equivalence classes of test configuration with the structure of a convex space fibred over the cone of rational polarisations. From this, we deduce the open- ness of the K-unstable locus. We illustrate our new algebraic constructions with several examples.

  • Arxiv:Math/0108068V5 [Math.AG] 2 Jun 2018 Reduces to the Usual Ampleness
    AMPLE FILTERS OF INVERTIBLE SHEAVES DENNIS S. KEELER Abstract. Let X be a scheme, proper over a commutative noetherian ring A. We introduce the concept of an ample filter of invertible sheaves on X and generalize the most important equivalent criteria for ampleness of an invertible sheaf. We also prove the Theorem of the Base for X and generalize Serre's Vanishing Theorem. We then generalize results for twisted homogeneous co- ordinate rings which were previously known only when X was projective over an algebraically closed field. Specifically, we show that the concepts of left and right σ-ampleness are equivalent and that the associated twisted homogeneous coordinate ring must be noetherian. 1. Introduction Ample invertible sheaves are central to projective algebraic geometry. Let A be a commutative noetherian ring and let R be a commutative N-graded A-algebra, finitely generated in degree one. Then ample invertible sheaves allow a geometric description of R, by expressing R as a homogeneous coordinate ring (in sufficiently high degree). Further, via the Serre Correspondence Theorem, there is an equiv- alence between the category of coherent sheaves on the scheme Proj R and the category of tails of graded R-modules [H, Exercise II.5.9]. To prove that Artin-Schelter regular algebras of dimension 3 (generated in degree one) are noetherian, [ATV] studied twisted homogeneous coordinate rings of elliptic curves (over a field). In [AV], a more thorough and general examination of twisted homogenous coordinate rings was undertaken, replacing the elliptic curves of [ATV] with any commutative projective scheme over a field.
