Ribbons and Their Canonical Embeddings
transactions of the american mathematical society Volume 347, Number 3, March 1995 RIBBONS AND THEIR CANONICAL EMBEDDINGS DAVE BAYER AND DAVID EISENBUD Abstract. We study double structures on the projective line and on certain other varieties, with a view to having a nice family of degenerations of curves and K3 surfaces of given genus and Clifford index. Our main interest is in the canonical embeddings of these objects, with a view toward Green's Conjecture on the free resolutions of canonical curves. We give the canonical embeddings explicitly, and exhibit an approach to determining a minimal free resolution. Introduction What is the limit of the canonical model of a smooth curve as the curve degenerates to a hyperelliptic curve? "A ribbon" — more precisely "a ribbon on P1 " — may be defined as the answer to this riddle. A ribbon on P1 is a double structure on the projective line. Such ribbons represent a little-studied degeneration of smooth curves that shows promise especially for dealing with questions about the Clifford indices of curves. The theory of ribbons is in some respects remarkably close to that of smooth curves, but ribbons are much easier to construct and work with. In this paper we discuss the classification of ribbons and their maps. In particular, we construct the "holomorphic differentials" — sections of the canonical bundle — of a ribbon, and study properties of the canonical embedding. Aside from the genus, the main invariant of a ribbon is a number we call the "Clifford index", although the definition for it that we give is completely different from the definition for smooth curves. -
Boundary and Shape of Cohen-Macaulay Cone
BOUNDARY AND SHAPE OF COHEN-MACAULAY CONE HAILONG DAO AND KAZUHIKO KURANO Abstract. Let R be a Cohen-Macaulay local domain. In this paper we study the cone of Cohen-Macaulay modules inside the Grothendieck group of finitely generated R-modules modulo numerical equivalences, introduced in [3]. We prove a result about the boundary of this cone for Cohen-Macaulay domain admitting de Jong’s alterations, and use it to derive some corollaries on finite- ness of isomorphism classes of maximal Cohen-Macaulay ideals. Finally, we explicitly compute the Cohen-Macaulay cone for certain isolated hypersurface singularities defined by ξη − f(x1; : : : ; xn). 1. Introduction Let R be a Noetherian local ring and G0(R) the Grothendieck group of finitely generated R-modules. Using Euler characteristic of perfect complexes with finite length homologies (a generalized version of Serre’s intersection multiplicity pair- ings), one could define the notion of numerical equivalence on G0(R) as in [17]. See Section 2 for precise definitions. When R is the local ring at the vertex of an affine cone over a smooth projective variety X, this notion can be deeply related to that of numerical equivalences on the Chow group of X as in [17] and [20]. Let G0(R) be the Grothendieck group of R modulo numerical equivalences. A simple result in homological algebra tells us that if M is maximal Cohen- Macaulay (MCM), the Euler characteristic function will always be positive. Thus, maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules all survive in G0(R), and it makes sense to talk about the cone of Cohen-Macaulay modules inside G (R) : 0 R X C (R) = [M] ⊂ G (R) : CM R≥0 0 R M:MCM The definition of this cone and some of its basic properties was given in [3]. -
Canonical Bundle Formulae for a Family of Lc-Trivial Fibrations
CANONICAL BUNDLE FORMULAE FOR A FAMILY OF LC-TRIVIAL FIBRATIONS Abstract. We give a sufficient condition for divisorial and fiber space adjunc- tion to commute. We generalize the log canonical bundle formula of Fujino and Mori to the relative case. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Preliminaries 2 3. Lc-trivial fibrations 3 4. Proofs 6 References 6 1. Introduction A lc-trivial fibration consists of a (sub-)pair (X; B), and a contraction f : X −! Z, such that KZ + B ∼Q;Z 0, and (X; B) is (sub) lc over the generic point of Z. Lc-trivial fibrations appear naturally in higher dimensional algebraic geometry: the Minimal Model Program and the Abundance Conjecture predict that any log canonical pair (X; B), such that KX + B is pseudo-effective, has a birational model with a naturally defined lc-trivial fibration. Intuitively, one can think of (X; B) as being constructed from the base Z and a general fiber (Xz;Bz). This relation is made more precise by the canonical bundle formula ∗ KX + B ∼Q f (KZ + MZ + BZ ) a result first proven by Kodaira for minimal elliptic surfaces [11, 12], and then gen- eralized by the work of Ambro, Fujino-Mori and Kawamata [1, 2, 6, 10]. Here, BZ measures the singularities of the fibers, while MZ measures, at least conjecturally, the variation in moduli of the general fiber. It is then possible to relate the singu- larities of the total space with those of the base: for example, [5, Proposition 4.16] shows that (X; B) and (Z; MZ + BZ ) are in the same class of singularities. -

Some types of morphisms: quasicompact and quasiseparated; open immersion; affine, finite, closed immersion; locally closed immersion 1 2. Constructions related to “smallest closed subschemes”: scheme-theoretic image, scheme-theoretic closure, induced reduced subscheme, and the reduction of a scheme 12 3. More finiteness conditions on morphisms: (locally) of finite type, quasifinite, (locally) of finite presentation 16 We now define a bunch of types of morphisms. (These notes include some topics dis- cussed the previous class.) 1. SOME TYPES OF MORPHISMS: QUASICOMPACT AND QUASISEPARATED; OPEN IMMERSION; AFFINE, FINITE, CLOSED IMMERSION; LOCALLY CLOSED IMMERSION In this section, we'll give some analogues of open subsets, closed subsets, and locally closed subsets. This will also give us an excuse to define affine and finite morphisms (closed immersions are a special case). It will also give us an excuse to define some im- portant special closed immersions, in the next section. In section after that, we'll define some more types of morphisms. 1.1. Quasicompact and quasiseparated morphisms. A morphism f : X Y is quasicompact if for every open affine subset U of Y, f-1(U) is quasicompact. Equivalently! , the preimage of any quasicompact open subset is quasicom- pact. We will like this notion because (i) we know how to take the maximum of a finite set of numbers, and (ii) most reasonable schemes will be quasicompact. 1.A. EASY EXERCISE. Show that the composition of two quasicompact morphisms is quasicompact. 1.B. EXERCISE. Show that any morphism from a Noetherian scheme is quasicompact. -

CURVES OF GENUS 4 AND 5 We begin with two exercises in general genus, and then go back to genus 4. 1.A. EXERCISE. Suppose C is a genus g curve. Show that if C is not hyperelliptic, then the canonical bundle gives a closed immersion C ,! Pg-1. (In the hyperelliptic case, we have already seen that the canonical bundle gives us a double cover of a rational normal curve.) Hint: follow the genus 3 case. Such a curve is called a canonical curve, and this closed immersion is called the canonical embedding of C. 1.B. EXERCISE. Suppose C is a curve of genus g > 1, over a field k that is not algebraically closed. Show that C has a closed point of degree at most 2g - 2 over the base field. (For comparison: if g = 1, it turns out that there is no such bound independent of k!) We next consider nonhyperelliptic curves C of genus 4. Note that deg K = 6 and h0(C; K) = 4, so the canonical map expresses C as a sextic curve in P3. We shall see that all such C are complete intersections of quadric surfaces and cubic surfaces, and con- versely all nonsingular complete intersections of quadrics and cubics are genus 4 non- hyperelliptic curves, canonically embedded. By Riemann-Roch, h0(C; K⊗2) = deg K⊗2 - g + 1 = 12 - 4 + 1 = 9: 0 P3 O ! 0 K⊗2 2 K 4+1 We have the restriction map H ( ; (2)) H (C; ), and dim Sym Γ(C; ) = 2 = 10. -
General Introduction to K3 Surfaces
General introduction to K3 surfaces Svetlana Makarova MIT Mathematics Contents 1 Algebraic K3 surfaces 1 1.1 Definition of K3 surfaces . .1 1.2 Classical invariants . .3 2 Complex K3 surfaces 9 2.1 Complex K3 surfaces . .9 2.2 Hodge structures . 11 2.3 Period map . 12 References 16 1 Algebraic K3 surfaces 1.1 Definition of K3 surfaces Let K be an arbitrary field. Here, a variety over K will mean a separated, geometrically integral scheme of finite type over K.A surface is a variety of dimension two. If X is a variety over of dimension n, then ! will denote its canonical class, that is ! =∼ Ωn . K X X X=K For a sheaf F on a scheme X, I will write H• (F) for H• (X; F), unless that leads to ambiguity. Definition 1.1.1. A K3 surface over K is a complete non-singular surface X such that ∼ 1 !X = OX and H (X; OX ) = 0. Corollary 1.1.1. One can observe several simple facts for a K3 surface: ∼ 1.Ω X = TX ; 2 ∼ 0 2.H (OX ) = H (OX ); 3. χ(OX ) = 2 dim Γ(OX ) = 2. 1 Fact 1.1.2. Any smooth complete surface over an algebraically closed field is projective. This fact is an immediate corollary of the Zariski{Goodman theorem which states that for any open affine U in a smooth complete surface X (over an algebraically closed field), the closed subset X nU is connected and of pure codimension one in X, and moreover supports an ample effective divisor. -
256B Algebraic Geometry
256B Algebraic Geometry David Nadler Notes by Qiaochu Yuan Spring 2013 1 Vector bundles on the projective line This semester we will be focusing on coherent sheaves on smooth projective complex varieties. The organizing framework for this class will be a 2-dimensional topological field theory called the B-model. Topics will include 1. Vector bundles and coherent sheaves 2. Cohomology, derived categories, and derived functors (in the differential graded setting) 3. Grothendieck-Serre duality 4. Reconstruction theorems (Bondal-Orlov, Tannaka, Gabriel) 5. Hochschild homology, Chern classes, Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch For now we'll introduce enough background to talk about vector bundles on P1. We'll regard varieties as subsets of PN for some N. Projective will mean that we look at closed subsets (with respect to the Zariski topology). The reason is that if p : X ! pt is the unique map from such a subset X to a point, then we can (derived) push forward a bounded complex of coherent sheaves M on X to a bounded complex of coherent sheaves on a point Rp∗(M). Smooth will mean the following. If x 2 X is a point, then locally x is cut out by 2 a maximal ideal mx of functions vanishing on x. Smooth means that dim mx=mx = dim X. (In general it may be bigger.) Intuitively it means that locally at x the variety X looks like a manifold, and one way to make this precise is that the completion of the local ring at x is isomorphic to a power series ring C[[x1; :::xn]]; this is the ring where Taylor series expansions live. -
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. -

Relative Affine Schemes
Relative Affine Schemes Daniel Murfet October 5, 2006 The fundamental Spec(−) construction associates an affine scheme to any ring. In this note we study the relative version of this construction, which associates a scheme to any sheaf of algebras. The contents of this note are roughly EGA II §1.2, §1.3. Contents 1 Affine Morphisms 1 2 The Spec Construction 4 3 The Sheaf Associated to a Module 8 1 Affine Morphisms Definition 1. Let f : X −→ Y be a morphism of schemes. Then we say f is an affine morphism or that X is affine over Y , if there is a nonempty open cover {Vα}α∈Λ of Y by open affine subsets −1 Vα such that for every α, f Vα is also affine. If X is empty (in particular if Y is empty) then f is affine. Any morphism of affine schemes is affine. Any isomorphism is affine, and the affine property is stable under composition with isomorphisms on either end. Example 1. Any closed immersion X −→ Y is an affine morphism by our solution to (Ex 4.3). Remark 1. A scheme X affine over S is not necessarily affine (for example X = S) and if an affine scheme X is an S-scheme, it is not necessarily affine over S. However, if S is separated then an S-scheme X which is affine is affine over S. Lemma 1. An affine morphism is quasi-compact and separated. Any finite morphism is affine. Proof. Let f : X −→ Y be affine. Then f is separated since any morphism of affine schemes is separated, and the separatedness condition is local. -

DEMAILLY’S NOTION OF ALGEBRAIC HYPERBOLICITY: GEOMETRICITY, BOUNDEDNESS, MODULI OF MAPS ARIYAN JAVANPEYKAR AND LJUDMILA KAMENOVA Abstract. Demailly’s conjecture, which is a consequence of the Green–Griffiths–Lang con- jecture on varieties of general type, states that an algebraically hyperbolic complex projective variety is Kobayashi hyperbolic. Our aim is to provide evidence for Demailly’s conjecture by verifying several predictions it makes. We first define what an algebraically hyperbolic projective variety is, extending Demailly’s definition to (not necessarily smooth) projective varieties over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and we prove that this property is stable under extensions of algebraically closed fields. Furthermore, we show that the set of (not necessarily surjective) morphisms from a projective variety Y to a pro- jective algebraically hyperbolic variety X that map a fixed closed subvariety of Y onto a fixed closed subvariety of X is finite. As an application, we obtain that Aut(X) is finite and that every surjective endomorphism of X is an automorphism. Finally, we explore “weaker” notions of hyperbolicity related to boundedness of moduli spaces of maps, and verify similar predictions made by the Green–Griffiths–Lang conjecture on hyperbolic projective varieties. 1. Introduction The aim of this paper is to provide evidence for Demailly’s conjecture which says that a projective algebraically hyperbolic variety over C is Kobayashi hyperbolic. We first define the notion of an algebraically hyperbolic projective scheme over an alge- braically closed field k of characteristic zero which is not assumed to be C, and could be Q, for example. Then we provide indirect evidence for Demailly’s conjecture by showing that algebraically hyperbolic schemes share many common features with Kobayashi hyperbolic complex manifolds.
