Chevalley Scheme
A Chevalley scheme in algebraic geometry was a precursor notion of scheme theory. Let ''X'' be a separated integral noetherian scheme In algebraic geometry, a noetherian scheme is a scheme that admits a finite covering by open affine subsets \operatorname A_i, A_i noetherian rings. More generally, a scheme is locally noetherian if it is covered by spectra of noetherian rings. Thus ..., ''R'' its function field. If we denote by X' the set of subrings \mathcal O_x of ''R'', where ''x'' runs through ''X'' (when X=\mathrm(A), we denote X' by L(A)), X' verifies the following three properties * For each M\in X' , ''R'' is the field of fractions of ''M''. * There is a finite set of noetherian subrings A_i of ''R'' so that X'=\cup_i L(A_i) and that, for each pair of indices ''i,j'', the subring A_ of ''R'' generated by A_i \cup A_j is an A_i-algebra of finite type. * If M\subseteq N in X' are such that the maximal ideal of ''M'' is contained in that of ''N'', then ''M=N''.

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 ...

Scheme Theory
In mathematics, a scheme is a mathematical structure that enlarges the notion of algebraic variety in several ways, such as taking account of multiplicities (the equations ''x'' = 0 and ''x''2 = 0 define the same algebraic variety but different schemes) and allowing "varieties" defined over any commutative ring (for example, Fermat curves are defined over the integers). Scheme theory was introduced by Alexander Grothendieck in 1960 in his treatise "Éléments de géométrie algébrique"; one of its aims was developing the formalism needed to solve deep problems of algebraic geometry, such as the Weil conjectures (the last of which was proved by Pierre Deligne). Strongly based on commutative algebra, scheme theory allows a systematic use of methods of topology and homological algebra. Scheme theory also unifies algebraic geometry with much of number theory, which eventually led to Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Formally, a scheme is a topological space together with commu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Noetherian Scheme
In algebraic geometry, a noetherian scheme is a scheme that admits a finite covering by open affine subsets \operatorname A_i, A_i noetherian rings. More generally, a scheme is locally noetherian if it is covered by spectra of noetherian rings. Thus, a scheme is noetherian if and only if it is locally noetherian and quasi-compact. As with noetherian rings, the concept is named after Emmy Noether. It can be shown that, in a locally noetherian scheme, if \operatorname A is an open affine subset, then ''A'' is a noetherian ring. In particular, \operatorname A is a noetherian scheme if and only if ''A'' is a noetherian ring. Let ''X'' be a locally noetherian scheme. Then the local rings \mathcal_ are noetherian rings. A noetherian scheme is a noetherian topological space. But the converse is false in general; consider, for example, the spectrum of a non-noetherian valuation ring. The definitions extend to formal schemes. Properties and Noetherian hypotheses Having a (locally ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Function Field Of An Algebraic Variety
In algebraic geometry, the function field of an algebraic variety ''V'' consists of objects which are interpreted as rational functions on ''V''. In classical algebraic geometry they are ratios of polynomials; in complex algebraic geometry these are meromorphic functions and their higher-dimensional analogues; in modern algebraic geometry they are elements of some quotient ring's field of fractions. Definition for complex manifolds In complex algebraic geometry the objects of study are complex analytic varieties, on which we have a local notion of complex analysis, through which we may define meromorphic functions. The function field of a variety is then the set of all meromorphic functions on the variety. (Like all meromorphic functions, these take their values in \mathbb\cup\infty.) Together with the operations of addition and multiplication of functions, this is a field in the sense of algebra. For the Riemann sphere, which is the variety \mathbb^1 over the complex numbers, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chevalley
Claude Chevalley (; 11 February 1909 – 28 June 1984) was a French mathematician who made important contributions to number theory, algebraic geometry, class field theory, finite group theory and the theory of algebraic groups. He was a founding member of the Bourbaki group. Life His father, Abel Chevalley, was a French diplomat who, jointly with his wife Marguerite Chevalley née Sabatier, wrote ''The Concise Oxford French Dictionary''. Chevalley graduated from the École Normale Supérieure in 1929, where he studied under Émile Picard. He then spent time at the University of Hamburg, studying under Emil Artin and at the University of Marburg, studying under Helmut Hasse. In Germany, Chevalley discovered Japanese mathematics in the person of Shokichi Iyanaga. Chevalley was awarded a doctorate in 1933 from the University of Paris for a thesis on class field theory. When World War II broke out, Chevalley was at Princeton University. After reporting to the French Embassy, he s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jean Dieudonné
Jean Alexandre Eugène Dieudonné (; 1 July 1906 – 29 November 1992) was a French mathematician, notable for research in abstract algebra, algebraic geometry, and functional analysis, for close involvement with the Nicolas Bourbaki pseudonymous group and the ''Éléments de géométrie algébrique'' project of Alexander Grothendieck, and as a historian of mathematics, particularly in the fields of functional analysis and algebraic topology. His work on the classical groups (the book ''La Géométrie des groupes classiques'' was published in 1955), and on formal groups, introducing what now are called Dieudonné modules, had a major effect on those fields. He was born and brought up in Lille, with a formative stay in England where he was introduced to algebra. In 1924 he was admitted to the École Normale Supérieure, where André Weil was a classmate. He began working in complex analysis. In 1934 he was one of the group of ''normaliens'' convened by Weil, which would become ...

Éléments De Géométrie Algébrique
The ''Éléments de géométrie algébrique'' ("Elements of algebraic geometry, Algebraic Geometry") by Alexander Grothendieck (assisted by Jean Dieudonné), or ''EGA'' for short, is a rigorous treatise, in French language, French, on algebraic geometry that was published (in eight parts or fascicle (book), fascicles) from 1960 through 1967 by the ''Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques''. In it, Grothendieck established systematic foundations of algebraic geometry, building upon the concept of Scheme (mathematics), schemes, which he defined. The work is now considered the foundation stone and basic reference of modern algebraic geometry. Editions Initially thirteen chapters were planned, but only the first four (making a total of approximately 1500 pages) were published. Much of the material which would have been found in the following chapters can be found, in a less polished form, in the ''Séminaire de géométrie algébrique'' (known as ''SGA''). Indeed, as explained by G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
