Adjunction Formula (algebraic Geometry)
In mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds, the adjunction formula relates the canonical bundle of a variety and a hypersurface inside that variety. It is often used to deduce facts about varieties embedded in well-behaved spaces such as projective space or to prove theorems by induction. Adjunction for smooth varieties Formula for a smooth subvariety Let ''X'' be a smooth algebraic variety or smooth complex manifold and ''Y'' be a smooth subvariety of ''X''. Denote the inclusion map by ''i'' and the ideal sheaf of ''Y'' in ''X'' by \mathcal. The conormal exact sequence for ''i'' is :0 \to \mathcal/\mathcal^2 \to i^*\Omega_X \to \Omega_Y \to 0, where Ω denotes a cotangent bundle. The determinant of this exact sequence is a natural isomorphism :\omega_Y = i^*\omega_X \otimes \operatorname(\mathcal/\mathcal^2)^\vee, where \vee denotes the dual of a line bundle.

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Normal Bundle
In differential geometry, a field of mathematics, a normal bundle is a particular kind of vector bundle, complementary to the tangent bundle, and coming from an embedding (or immersion). Definition Riemannian manifold Let (M,g) be a Riemannian manifold, and S \subset M a Riemannian submanifold. Define, for a given p \in S, a vector n \in \mathrm_p M to be ''normal'' to S whenever g(n,v)=0 for all v\in \mathrm_p S (so that n is orthogonal to \mathrm_p S). The set \mathrm_p S of all such n is then called the ''normal space'' to S at p. Just as the total space of the tangent bundle to a manifold is constructed from all tangent spaces to the manifold, the total space of the normal bundle \mathrm S to S is defined as :\mathrmS := \coprod_ \mathrm_p S. The conormal bundle is defined as the dual bundle to the normal bundle. It can be realised naturally as a sub-bundle of the cotangent bundle. General definition More abstractly, given an immersion i: N \to M (for instance an embeddin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Logarithmic Form
In contexts including complex manifolds and algebraic geometry, a logarithmic differential form is a meromorphic differential form with poles of a certain kind. The concept was introduced by Deligne. Let ''X'' be a complex manifold, ''D'' ⊂ ''X'' a divisor, and ω a holomorphic ''p''-form on ''X''−''D''. If ω and ''d''ω have a pole of order at most one along ''D'', then ω is said to have a logarithmic pole along ''D''. ω is also known as a logarithmic ''p''-form. The logarithmic ''p''-forms make up a subsheaf of the meromorphic ''p''-forms on ''X'' with a pole along ''D'', denoted :\Omega^p_X(\log D). In the theory of Riemann surfaces, one encounters logarithmic one-forms which have the local expression :\omega = \frac =\left(\frac + \frac\right)dz for some meromorphic function (resp. rational function) f(z) = z^mg(z) , where ''g'' is holomorphic and non-vanishing at 0, and ''m'' is the order of ''f'' at ''0''. That is, for some open covering, there are local represent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Complete Intersection
In mathematics, an algebraic variety ''V'' in projective space is a complete intersection if the ideal of ''V'' is generated by exactly ''codim V'' elements. That is, if ''V'' has dimension ''m'' and lies in projective space ''P''''n'', there should exist ''n'' − ''m'' homogeneous polynomials: :F_i(X_0,\cdots,X_n), 1\leq i\leq n - m, in the homogeneous coordinates ''X''''j'', which generate all other homogeneous polynomials that vanish on ''V''. Geometrically, each ''F''''i'' defines a hypersurface; the intersection of these hypersurfaces should be ''V''. The intersection of hypersurfaces will always have dimension at least ''m'', assuming that the field of scalars is an algebraically closed field such as the complex numbers. The question is essentially, can we get the dimension down to ''m'', with no extra points in the intersection? This condition is fairly hard to check as soon as the codimension . When then ''V'' is automatically a hypersurface and there is nothing to pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Riemann–Roch Theorem
The Riemann–Roch theorem is an important theorem in mathematics, specifically in complex analysis and algebraic geometry, for the computation of the dimension of the space of meromorphic functions with prescribed zeros and allowed poles. It relates the complex analysis of a connected compact Riemann surface with the surface's purely topological genus ''g'', in a way that can be carried over into purely algebraic settings. Initially proved as Riemann's inequality by , the theorem reached its definitive form for Riemann surfaces after work of Riemann's short-lived student . It was later generalized to algebraic curves, to higher-dimensional varieties and beyond. Preliminary notions A Riemann surface X is a topological space that is locally homeomorphic to an open subset of \Complex, the set of complex numbers. In addition, the transition maps between these open subsets are required to be holomorphic. The latter condition allows one to transfer the notions and methods of complex ...

Line Bundle
In mathematics, a line bundle expresses the concept of a line that varies from point to point of a space. For example, a curve in the plane having a tangent line at each point determines a varying line: the ''tangent bundle'' is a way of organising these. More formally, in algebraic topology and differential topology, a line bundle is defined as a ''vector bundle'' of rank 1. Line bundles are specified by choosing a one-dimensional vector space for each point of the space in a continuous manner. In topological applications, this vector space is usually real or complex. The two cases display fundamentally different behavior because of the different topological properties of real and complex vector spaces: If the origin is removed from the real line, then the result is the set of 1×1 invertible real matrices, which is homotopy-equivalent to a discrete two-point space by contracting the positive and negative reals each to a point; whereas removing the origin from the complex plane ...

Divisor (algebraic Geometry)
In algebraic geometry, divisors are a generalization of codimension-1 subvarieties of algebraic varieties. Two different generalizations are in common use, Cartier divisors and Weil divisors (named for Pierre Cartier and André Weil by David Mumford). Both are derived from the notion of divisibility in the integers and algebraic number fields. Globally, every codimension-1 subvariety of projective space is defined by the vanishing of one homogeneous polynomial; by contrast, a codimension-''r'' subvariety need not be definable by only ''r'' equations when ''r'' is greater than 1. (That is, not every subvariety of projective space is a complete intersection.) Locally, every codimension-1 subvariety of a smooth variety can be defined by one equation in a neighborhood of each point. Again, the analogous statement fails for higher-codimension subvarieties. As a result of this property, much of algebraic geometry studies an arbitrary variety by analysing its codimension-1 subvarieties ...

Algebraic Geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics, classically studying zeros of multivariate polynomials. Modern algebraic geometry is based on the use of abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, for solving geometrical problems about these sets of zeros. The fundamental objects of study in algebraic geometry are algebraic varieties, which are geometric manifestations of solutions of systems of polynomial equations. Examples of the most studied classes of algebraic varieties are: plane algebraic curves, which include lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, cubic curves like elliptic curves, and quartic curves like lemniscates and Cassini ovals. A point of the plane belongs to an algebraic curve if its coordinates satisfy a given polynomial equation. Basic questions involve the study of the points of special interest like the singular points, the inflection points and the points at infinity. More advanced questions involve the topology of the ...

Cotangent Bundle
In mathematics, especially differential geometry, the cotangent bundle of a smooth manifold is the vector bundle of all the cotangent spaces at every point in the manifold. It may be described also as the dual bundle to the tangent bundle. This may be generalized to categories with more structure than smooth manifolds, such as complex manifolds, or (in the form of cotangent sheaf) algebraic varieties or schemes. In the smooth case, any Riemannian metric or symplectic form gives an isomorphism between the cotangent bundle and the tangent bundle, but they are not in general isomorphic in other categories. Formal Definition Let ''M'' be a smooth manifold and let ''M''×''M'' be the Cartesian product of ''M'' with itself. The diagonal mapping Δ sends a point ''p'' in ''M'' to the point (''p'',''p'') of ''M''×''M''. The image of Δ is called the diagonal. Let \mathcal be the sheaf of germs of smooth functions on ''M''×''M'' which vanish on the diagona ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
