Du Bois Singularities
In algebraic geometry, Du Bois singularities are singularities of complex varieties studied by . gave the following characterisation of Du Bois singularities. Suppose that X is a reduced closed subscheme of a smooth scheme Y. Take a log resolution \pi: Z \to Y of X in Y that is an isomorphism outside X, and let E be the reduced preimage of X in Z. Then X has Du Bois singularities if and only if the induced map \mathcal_X \to R\pi_\mathcal_E is a quasi-isomorphism In homological algebra, a branch of mathematics, a quasi-isomorphism or quism is a morphism ''A'' → ''B'' of chain complexes (respectively, cochain complexes) such that the induced morphisms :H_n(A_\bullet) \to H_n(B_\bullet)\ (\text H^n(A^\bull ....

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 ...

Smooth Scheme
In algebraic geometry, a smooth scheme over a field is a scheme which is well approximated by affine space near any point. Smoothness is one way of making precise the notion of a scheme with no singular points. A special case is the notion of a smooth variety over a field. Smooth schemes play the role in algebraic geometry of manifolds in topology. Definition First, let ''X'' be an affine scheme of finite type over a field ''k''. Equivalently, ''X'' has a closed immersion into affine space ''An'' over ''k'' for some natural number ''n''. Then ''X'' is the closed subscheme defined by some equations ''g''1 = 0, ..., ''g''''r'' = 0, where each ''gi'' is in the polynomial ring ''k'' 'x''1,..., ''x''''n'' The affine scheme ''X'' is smooth of dimension ''m'' over ''k'' if ''X'' has dimension at least ''m'' in a neighborhood of each point, and the matrix of derivatives (∂''g''''i''/∂''x''''j'') has rank at least ''n''−''m'' everywhere on ''X''. (It follows that ''X'' has dimension ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quasi-isomorphism
In homological algebra, a branch of mathematics, a quasi-isomorphism or quism is a morphism ''A'' → ''B'' of chain complexes (respectively, cochain complexes) such that the induced morphisms :H_n(A_\bullet) \to H_n(B_\bullet)\ (\text H^n(A^\bullet) \to H^n(B^\bullet)) of homology groups (respectively, of cohomology groups) are isomorphisms for all ''n''. In the theory of model categories, quasi-isomorphisms are sometimes used as the class of weak equivalences when the objects of the category are chain or cochain complexes. This results in a homology-local theory, in the sense of Bousfield localization in homotopy theory. See also * Derived category In mathematics, the derived category ''D''(''A'') of an abelian category ''A'' is a construction of homological algebra introduced to refine and in a certain sense to simplify the theory of derived functors defined on ''A''.

Singularity Theory
In mathematics, singularity theory studies spaces that are almost manifolds, but not quite. A string can serve as an example of a one-dimensional manifold, if one neglects its thickness. A singularity can be made by balling it up, dropping it on the floor, and flattening it. In some places the flat string will cross itself in an approximate "X" shape. The points on the floor where it does this are one kind of singularity, the double point: one bit of the floor corresponds to more than one bit of string. Perhaps the string will also touch itself without crossing, like an underlined "U". This is another kind of singularity. Unlike the double point, it is not ''stable'', in the sense that a small push will lift the bottom of the "U" away from the "underline". Vladimir Arnold defines the main goal of singularity theory as describing how objects depend on parameters, particularly in cases where the properties undergo sudden change under a small variation of the parameters.
