The classical version considers the number of points in the intersection of two algebraic plane curves. It states that if we have two algebraic plane curves, dened over an algebraically closed eld and cut out by multi- variate polynomials of degrees n and m, then the number of points where these curves intersect is exactly nm if we count multiple intersections and intersections at innity. In Chapter 2 we dene the necessary terminology to state this theorem rigorously, give an elementary proof for the upper bound using resultants, and later prove the full Bézout's theorem. A very modest background should suce for understanding this chapter, for example the course Algebra II given at the University of Helsinki should cover most, if not all, of the prerequisites. In Chapter 3, we generalize Bézout's theorem to higher dimensional projective spaces.

  • A Surface of Maximal Canonical Degree 11
    A SURFACE OF MAXIMAL CANONICAL DEGREE SAI-KEE YEUNG Abstract. It is known since the 70's from a paper of Beauville that the degree of the rational canonical map of a smooth projective algebraic surface of general type is at most 36. Though it has been conjectured that a surface with optimal canonical degree 36 exists, the highest canonical degree known earlier for a min- imal surface of general type was 16 by Persson. The purpose of this paper is to give an affirmative answer to the conjecture by providing an explicit surface. 1. Introduction 1.1. Let M be a minimal surface of general type. Assume that the space of canonical 0 0 sections H (M; KM ) of M is non-trivial. Let N = dimCH (M; KM ) = pg, where pg is the geometric genus. The canonical map is defined to be in general a rational N−1 map ΦKM : M 99K P . For a surface, this is the most natural rational mapping to study if it is non-trivial. Assume that ΦKM is generically finite with degree d. It is well-known from the work of Beauville [B], that d := deg ΦKM 6 36: We call such degree the canonical degree of the surface, and regard it 0 if the canonical mapping does not exist or is not generically finite. The following open problem is an immediate consequence of the work of [B] and is implicitly hinted there. Problem What is the optimal canonical degree of a minimal surface of general type? Is there a minimal surface of general type with canonical degree 36? Though the problem is natural and well-known, the answer remains elusive since the 70's.

  • The Historical Development of Algebraic Geometry∗
    The Historical Development of Algebraic Geometry∗ Jean Dieudonn´e March 3, 1972y 1 The lecture This is an enriched transcription of footage posted by the University of Wis- consin{Milwaukee Department of Mathematical Sciences [1]. The images are composites of screenshots from the footage manipulated with Python and the Python OpenCV library [2]. These materials were prepared by Ryan C. Schwiebert with the goal of capturing and restoring some of the material. The lecture presents the content of Dieudonn´e'sarticle of the same title [3] as well as the content of earlier lecture notes [4], but the live lecture is natu- rally embellished with different details. The text presented here is, for the most part, written as it was spoken. This is why there are some ungrammatical con- structions of spoken word, and some linguistic quirks of a French speaker. The transcriber has taken some liberties by abbreviating places where Dieudonn´e self-corrected. That is, short phrases which turned out to be false starts have been elided, and now only the subsequent word-choices that replaced them ap- pear. Unfortunately, time has taken its toll on the footage, and it appears that a brief portion at the beginning, as well as the last enumerated period (VII. Sheaves and schemes), have been lost. (Fortunately, we can still read about them in [3]!) The audio and video quality has contributed to several transcription errors. Finally, a lack of thorough knowledge of the history of algebraic geometry has also contributed some errors. Contact with suggestions for improvement of arXiv:1803.00163v1 [math.HO] 1 Mar 2018 the materials is welcome.

  • On the Group of Automorphisms of a Quasi-Affine Variety 3
    ON THE GROUP OF AUTOMORPHISMS OF A QUASI-AFFINE VARIETY ZBIGNIEW JELONEK Abstract. Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We show that if the automorphisms group of a quasi-affine variety X is infinite, then X is uniruled. 1. Introduction. Automorphism groups of an open varieties have always attracted a lot of attention, but the nature of this groups is still not well-known. For example the group of automorphisms of Kn is understood only in the case n = 2 (and n = 1, of course). Let Y be a an open variety. It is natural to ask when the group of automorphisms of Y is finite. We gave a partial answer to this questions in our papers [Jel1], [Jel2], [Jel3] and [Jel4]. In [Iit2] Iitaka proved that Aut(Y ) is finite if Y has a maximal logarithmic Kodaira dimension. Here we focus on the group of automorphisms of an affine or more generally quasi-affine variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let us recall that a quasi-affine variety is an open subvariety of some affine variety. We prove the following: Theorem 1.1. Let X be a quasi-affine (in particular affine) variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If Aut(X) is infinite, then X is uniruled, i.e., X is covered by rational curves. This generalizes our old results from [Jel3] and [Jel4]. Our proof uses in a significant way a recent progress in a minimal model program ( see [Bir], [BCHK], [P-S]) and is based on our old ideas from [Jel1], [Jel2], [Jel3] and [Jel4].

  • INTERSECTION NUMBERS, TRANSFERS, and GROUP ACTIONS by Daniel H. Gottlieb and Murad Ozaydin Purdue University University of Oklah
    INTERSECTION NUMBERS, TRANSFERS, AND GROUP ACTIONS by Daniel H. Gottlieb and Murad Ozaydin Purdue University University of Oklahoma Abstract We introduce a new definition of intersection number by means of umkehr maps. This definition agrees with an obvious definition up to sign. It allows us to extend the concept parametrically to fibre bundles. For fibre bundles we can then define intersection number transfers. Fibre bundles arise naturally in equivariant situations, so the trace of the action divides intersection numbers. We apply this to equivariant projective varieties and other examples. Also we study actions of non-connected groups and their traces. AMS subject classification 1991: Primary: 55R12, 57S99, 55M25 Secondary: 14L30 Keywords: Poincare Duality, trace of action, Sylow subgroups, Euler class, projective variety. 1 1. Introduction When two manifolds with complementary dimensions inside a third manifold intersect transversally, their intersection number is defined. This classical topological invariant has played an important role in topology and its applications. In this paper we introduce a new definition of intersection number. The definition naturally extends to the case of parametrized manifolds over a base B; that is to fibre bundles over B . Then we can define transfers for the fibre bundles related to the intersection number. This is our main objective , and it is done in Theorem 6. The method of producing transfers depends upon the Key Lemma which we prove here. Special cases of this lemma played similar roles in the establishment of the Euler–Poincare transfer, the Lefschetz number transfer, and the Nakaoka transfer. Two other features of our definition are: 1) We replace the idea of submanifolds with the idea of maps from manifolds, and in effect we are defining the intersection numbers of the maps; 2) We are not restricted to only two maps, we can define the intersection number for several maps, or submanifolds.

  • Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics
    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 243 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were writ- ten down. Since [556] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context" we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The num- ber of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable" theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For literature on general mathematics, see [193, 189, 29, 235, 254, 619, 412, 138], for history [217, 625, 376, 73, 46, 208, 379, 365, 690, 113, 618, 79, 259, 341], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [12, 529, 201, 182, 17, 672, 673, 44, 204, 190, 245, 446, 616, 303, 201, 2, 127, 146, 128, 502, 261, 172].

Introduction to Part One Linear series have long stood at the center of algebraic geometry. Systems of divisors were employed classically to study and define invariants of pro- jective varieties, and it was recognized that varieties share many properties with their hyperplane sections. The classical picture was greatly clarified by the revolutionary new ideas that entered the field starting in the 1950s. To begin with, Serre’s great paper [530], along with the work of Kodaira (e.g. [353]), brought into focus the importance of amplitude for line bundles. By the mid 1960s a very beautiful theory was in place, showing that one could recognize positivity geometrically, cohomologically, or numerically. During the same years, Zariski and others began to investigate the more complicated be- havior of linear series defined by line bundles that may not be ample.

    ALGEBRAIC INTEGRABILITY OF FOLIATIONS WITH NUMERICALLY TRIVIAL CANONICAL BUNDLE ANDREAS HÖRING AND THOMAS PETERNELL Abstract. Given a reflexive sheaf on a mildly singular projective variety, we prove a flatness criterion under certain stability conditions. This implies the algebraicity of leaves for sufficiently stable foliations with numerically trivial canonical bundle such that the second Chern class does not vanish. Combined with the recent work of Druel and Greb-Guenancia-Kebekus this establishes the Beauville-Bogomolov decomposition for minimal models with trivial canon- ical class. 1. introduction 1.A. Main result. Let X be a normal complex projective variety that is smooth in codimension two, and let E be a reflexive sheaf on X. If E is slope-stable with respect to some ample divisor H of slope µH (E)=0, then a famous result of Mehta-Ramanathan [MR84] says that the restriction EC to a general complete intersection C of sufficiently ample divisors is stable and nef. On the other hand the variety X contains many dominating families of irreducible curves to which Mehta-Ramanathan does not apply; therefore one expects that, apart from very special situations, EC will not be nef for many curves C. If E is locally free, denote by π : P(E) → X the projectivisation of E and by ζ := c1(OP(E)(1)) the tautological class on P(E). The nefness of EC then translates into the nefness of the restriction of ζ to P(EC). Thus, the stability of E implies some positivity of the tautological class ζ. On the other hand, the non-nefness of EC on many curves can be rephrased by saying that the tautological class ζ should not be pseudoeffective.

  • Intersection Theory
    APPENDIX A Intersection Theory In this appendix we will outline the generalization of intersection theory and the Riemann-Roch theorem to nonsingular projective varieties of any dimension. To motivate the discussion, let us look at the case of curves and surfaces, and then see what needs to be generalized. For a divisor D on a curve X, leaving out the contribution of Serre duality, we can write the Riemann-Roch theorem (IV, 1.3) as x(.!Z'(D)) = deg D + 1 - g, where xis the Euler characteristic (III, Ex. 5.1). On a surface, we can write the Riemann-Roch theorem (V, 1.6) as 1 x(!l'(D)) = 2 D.(D - K) + 1 + Pa· In each case, on the left-hand side we have something involving cohomol­ ogy groups of the sheaf !l'(D), while on the right-hand side we have some numerical data involving the divisor D, the canonical divisor K, and some invariants of the variety X. Of course the ultimate aim of a Riemann-Roch type theorem is to compute the dimension of the linear system IDI or of lnDI for large n (II, Ex. 7.6). This is achieved by combining a formula for x(!l'(D)) with some vanishing theorems for Hi(X,!l'(D)) fori > 0, such as the theorems of Serre (III, 5.2) or Kodaira (III, 7.15). We will now generalize these results so as to give an expression for x(!l'(D)) on a nonsingular projective variety X of any dimension. And while we are at it, with no extra effort we get a formula for x(t&"), where @" is any coherent locally free sheaf.
