Generic Freeness
In algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, the theorems of generic flatness and generic freeness state that under certain hypotheses, a sheaf of modules on a scheme is flat or free. They are due to Alexander Grothendieck. Generic flatness states that if ''Y'' is an integral locally noetherian scheme, is a finite type morphism of schemes, and ''F'' is a coherent ''O''''X''-module, then there is a non-empty open subset ''U'' of ''Y'' such that the restriction of ''F'' to ''u''−1(''U'') is flat over ''U''. Because ''Y'' is integral, ''U'' is a dense open subset of ''Y''. This can be applied to deduce a variant of generic flatness which is true when the base is not integral. Suppose that ''S'' is a noetherian scheme, is a finite type morphism, and ''F'' is a coherent ''O''''X''-module. Then there exists a partition of ''S'' into locally closed subsets ''S''1, ..., ''S''''n'' with the following property: Give each ''S''''i'' its reduced scheme structure, denote by ' ...

Algebraic Geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which uses abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, to solve geometry, geometrical problems. Classically, it studies zero of a function, zeros of multivariate polynomials; the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects. The fundamental objects of study in algebraic geometry are algebraic variety, algebraic varieties, which are geometric manifestations of solution set, solutions of systems of polynomial equations. Examples of the most studied classes of algebraic varieties are line (geometry), lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, cubic curves like elliptic curves, and quartic curves like lemniscate of Bernoulli, lemniscates and Cassini ovals. These are plane algebraic curves. A point of the plane lies on an algebraic curve if its coordinates satisfy a given polynomial equation. Basic questions involve the study of points of special interest like singular point of a curve, singular p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fiber Product Of Schemes
In mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, the fiber product of schemes is a fundamental construction. It has many interpretations and special cases. For example, the fiber product describes how an algebraic variety over one field determines a variety over a bigger field, or the pullback of a family of varieties, or a fiber of a family of varieties. Base change is a closely related notion. Definition The category of schemes is a broad setting for algebraic geometry. A fruitful philosophy (known as Grothendieck's relative point of view) is that much of algebraic geometry should be developed for a morphism of schemes ''X'' → ''Y'' (called a scheme ''X'' over ''Y''), rather than for a single scheme ''X''. For example, rather than simply studying algebraic curves, one can study families of curves over any base scheme ''Y''. Indeed, the two approaches enrich each other. In particular, a scheme over a commutative ring ''R'' means a scheme ''X'' together with a morphism '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dévissage
In algebraic geometry, dévissage is a technique introduced by Alexander Grothendieck for proving statements about coherent sheaves on Noetherian schemes. Dévissage is an adaptation of a certain kind of Noetherian induction. It has many applications, including the proof of generic flatness and the proof that higher direct images of coherent sheaves under proper morphisms are coherent. Laurent Gruson and Michel Raynaud extended this concept to the relative situation, that is, to the situation where the scheme under consideration is not necessarily noetherian, but instead admits a finitely presented morphism to another scheme. They did this by defining an object called a relative dévissage which is well-suited to certain kinds of inductive arguments. They used this technique to give a new criterion for a module to be flat. As a consequence, they were able to simplify and generalize the results of EGA IV 11 on descent of flatness. The word ''dévissage'' is French for ''unsc ...

Graded Ring
In mathematics, in particular abstract algebra, a graded ring is a ring such that the underlying additive group is a direct sum of abelian groups R_i such that . The index set is usually the set of nonnegative integers or the set of integers, but can be any monoid. The direct sum decomposition is usually referred to as gradation or grading. A graded module is defined similarly (see below for the precise definition). It generalizes graded vector spaces. A graded module that is also a graded ring is called a graded algebra. A graded ring could also be viewed as a graded -algebra. The associativity is not important (in fact not used at all) in the definition of a graded ring; hence, the notion applies to non-associative algebras as well; e.g., one can consider a graded Lie algebra. First properties Generally, the index set of a graded ring is assumed to be the set of nonnegative integers, unless otherwise explicitly specified. This is the case in this article. A graded ring is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Algebra Of Finite Type
In mathematics, a finitely generated algebra (also called an algebra of finite type) is a commutative associative algebra ''A'' over a field ''K'' where there exists a finite set of elements a_1,\dots,a_n of ''A'' such that every element of ''A'' can be expressed as a polynomial in a_1,\dots,a_n, with coefficients in ''K''. Equivalently, there exist elements a_1,\dots,a_n\in A such that the evaluation homomorphism at =(a_1,\dots,a_n) :\phi_\colon K _1,\dots,X_ntwoheadrightarrow A is surjective; thus, by applying the first isomorphism theorem, A \simeq K _1,\dots,X_n(\phi_). Conversely, A:= K _1,\dots,X_nI for any ideal I\subseteq K _1,\dots,X_n/math> is a K-algebra of finite type, indeed any element of A is a polynomial in the cosets a_i:=X_i+I, i=1,\dots,n with coefficients in K. Therefore, we obtain the following characterisation of finitely generated K-algebras :A is a finitely generated K-algebra if and only if it is isomorphic as a K-algebra to a quotient ring of the type ...

Integral Domain
In mathematics, an integral domain is a nonzero commutative ring in which the product of any two nonzero elements is nonzero. Integral domains are generalizations of the ring of integers and provide a natural setting for studying divisibility. In an integral domain, every nonzero element ''a'' has the cancellation property, that is, if , an equality implies . "Integral domain" is defined almost universally as above, but there is some variation. This article follows the convention that rings have a multiplicative identity, generally denoted 1, but some authors do not follow this, by not requiring integral domains to have a multiplicative identity. Noncommutative integral domains are sometimes admitted. This article, however, follows the much more usual convention of reserving the term "integral domain" for the commutative case and using " domain" for the general case including noncommutative rings. Some sources, notably Lang, use the term entire ring for integral domain ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Noetherian Ring
In mathematics, a Noetherian ring is a ring that satisfies the ascending chain condition on left and right ideals. If the chain condition is satisfied only for left ideals or for right ideals, then the ring is said left-Noetherian or right-Noetherian respectively. Formally, every increasing sequence I_1\subseteq I_2 \subseteq I_3 \subseteq \cdots of left (or right) ideals has a largest element; that is, there exists an n such that I_=I_=\cdots. Equivalently, a ring is left-Noetherian (respectively right-Noetherian) if every left ideal (respectively right-ideal) is finitely generated. A ring is Noetherian if it is both left- and right-Noetherian. Noetherian rings are fundamental in both commutative and noncommutative ring theory since many rings that are encountered in mathematics are Noetherian (in particular the ring of integers, polynomial rings, and rings of algebraic integers in number fields), and many general theorems on rings rely heavily on the Noetherian property ( ...

Coherent Sheaf
In mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds, coherent sheaves are a class of sheaves closely linked to the geometric properties of the underlying space. The definition of coherent sheaves is made with reference to a sheaf of rings that codifies this geometric information. Coherent sheaves can be seen as a generalization of vector bundles. Unlike vector bundles, they form an abelian category, and so they are closed under operations such as taking kernels, images, and cokernels. The quasi-coherent sheaves are a generalization of coherent sheaves and include the locally free sheaves of infinite rank. Coherent sheaf cohomology is a powerful technique, in particular for studying the sections of a given coherent sheaf. Definitions A quasi-coherent sheaf on a ringed space (X, \mathcal O_X) is a sheaf \mathcal F of \mathcal O_X- modules that has a local presentation, that is, every point in X has an open neighborhood U in which there ...

Commutative Algebra
Commutative algebra, first known as ideal theory, is the branch of algebra that studies commutative rings, their ideal (ring theory), ideals, and module (mathematics), modules over such rings. Both algebraic geometry and algebraic number theory build on commutative algebra. Prominent examples of commutative rings include polynomial rings; rings of algebraic integers, including the ordinary integers \mathbb; and p-adic number, ''p''-adic integers. Commutative algebra is the main technical tool of algebraic geometry, and many results and concepts of commutative algebra are strongly related with geometrical concepts. The study of rings that are not necessarily commutative is known as noncommutative algebra; it includes ring theory, representation theory, and the theory of Banach algebras. Overview Commutative algebra is essentially the study of the rings occurring in algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. Several concepts of commutative algebras have been developed in ...
