Holomorphic Differential
In mathematics, ''differential of the first kind'' is a traditional term used in the theories of Riemann surfaces (more generally, complex manifolds) and algebraic curves (more generally, algebraic varieties), for everywhere-regular differential 1-forms. Given a complex manifold ''M'', a differential of the first kind ω is therefore the same thing as a 1-form that is everywhere holomorphic; on an algebraic variety ''V'' that is non-singular it would be a global section of the coherent sheaf Ω1 of Kähler differentials. In either case the definition has its origins in the theory of abelian integrals. The dimension of the space of differentials of the first kind, by means of this identification, is the Hodge number :''h''1,0. The differentials of the first kind, when integrated along paths, give rise to integrals that generalise the elliptic integrals to all curves over the complex numbers. They include for example the hyperelliptic integrals of type : \int\frac where ''Q ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

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 ...

Hyperelliptic Curve
In algebraic geometry, a hyperelliptic curve is an algebraic curve of genus ''g'' > 1, given by an equation of the form y^2 + h(x)y = f(x) where ''f''(''x'') is a polynomial of degree ''n'' = 2''g'' + 1 > 4 or ''n'' = 2''g'' + 2 > 4 with ''n'' distinct roots, and ''h''(''x'') is a polynomial of degree 3. Therefore, in giving such an equation to specify a non-singular curve, it is almost always assumed that a non-singular model (also called a smooth completion), equivalent in the sense of birational geometry, is meant. To be more precise, the equation defines a quadratic extension of C(''x''), and it is that function field that is meant. The singular point at infinity can be removed (since this is a curve) by the normalization ( integral closure) process. It turns out that after doing this, there is an open cover of the curve by two affine charts: the one already given by y^2 = f(x) and another one given by w^2 = v^f(1/v) . The glueing maps between the two charts are given by (x, ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Logarithmic Derivative
In mathematics, specifically in calculus and complex analysis, the logarithmic derivative of a function ''f'' is defined by the formula \frac where f' is the derivative of ''f''. Intuitively, this is the infinitesimal relative change in ''f''; that is, the infinitesimal absolute change in ''f,'' namely f', scaled by the current value of ''f.'' When ''f'' is a function ''f''(''x'') of a real variable ''x'', and takes real, strictly positive values, this is equal to the derivative of ln(''f''), or the natural logarithm of ''f''. This follows directly from the chain rule: \frac\ln f(x) = \frac \frac Basic properties Many properties of the real logarithm also apply to the logarithmic derivative, even when the function does ''not'' take values in the positive reals. For example, since the logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of the factors, we have (\log uv)' = (\log u + \log v)' = (\log u)' + (\log v)' . So for positive-real-valued functions, the logarithmic deri ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Elliptic Function
In the mathematical field of complex analysis, elliptic functions are a special kind of meromorphic functions, that satisfy two periodicity conditions. They are named elliptic functions because they come from elliptic integrals. Originally those integrals occurred at the calculation of the arc length of an ellipse. Important elliptic functions are Jacobi elliptic functions and the Weierstrass \wp-function. Further development of this theory led to hyperelliptic functions and modular forms. Definition A meromorphic function is called an elliptic function, if there are two \mathbb- linear independent complex numbers \omega_1,\omega_2\in\mathbb such that : f(z + \omega_1) = f(z) and f(z + \omega_2) = f(z), \quad \forall z\in\mathbb. So elliptic functions have two periods and are therefore also called ''doubly periodic''. Period lattice and fundamental domain Iff is an elliptic function with periods \omega_1,\omega_2 it also holds that : f(z+\gamma)=f(z) for every linear ...

Weierstrass Zeta Function
In mathematics, the Weierstrass functions are special functions of a complex variable that are auxiliary to the Weierstrass elliptic function. They are named for Karl Weierstrass. The relation between the sigma, zeta, and \wp functions is analogous to that between the sine, cotangent, and squared cosecant functions: the logarithmic derivative of the sine is the cotangent, whose derivative is negative the squared cosecant. Weierstrass sigma function The Weierstrass sigma function associated to a two-dimensional lattice \Lambda\subset\Complex is defined to be the product : \begin \operatorname&=z\prod_ \left(1-\frac\right) e^ \\ &=z\prod_^\infty \left(1-\frac\right) e^ \end where \Lambda^ denotes \Lambda-\ or \ are a ''fundamental pair of periods''. Through careful manipulation of the Weierstrass factorization theorem as it relates also to the sine function, another potentially more manageable infinite product definition is : \operatorname=\frace^\sin\prod_^\infty\left(1-\frac\rig ...

Algebraic Group
In mathematics, an algebraic group is an algebraic variety endowed with a group structure which is compatible with its structure as an algebraic variety. Thus the study of algebraic groups belongs both to algebraic geometry and group theory. Many groups of geometric transformations are algebraic groups; for example, orthogonal groups, general linear groups, projective groups, Euclidean groups, etc. Many matrix groups are also algebraic. Other algebraic groups occur naturally in algebraic geometry, such as elliptic curves and Jacobian varieties. An important class of algebraic groups is given by the affine algebraic groups, those whose underlying algebraic variety is an affine variety; they are exactly the algebraic subgroups of the general linear group, and are therefore also called ''linear algebraic groups''. Another class is formed by the abelian varieties, which are the algebraic groups whose underlying variety is a projective variety. Chevalley's structure theorem states ...

Commutative
In mathematics, a binary operation is commutative if changing the order of the operands does not change the result. It is a fundamental property of many binary operations, and many mathematical proofs depend on it. Most familiar as the name of the property that says something like or , the property can also be used in more advanced settings. The name is needed because there are operations, such as division and subtraction, that do not have it (for example, ); such operations are ''not'' commutative, and so are referred to as ''noncommutative operations''. The idea that simple operations, such as the multiplication and addition of numbers, are commutative was for many years implicitly assumed. Thus, this property was not named until the 19th century, when mathematics started to become formalized. A similar property exists for binary relations; a binary relation is said to be symmetric if the relation applies regardless of the order of its operands; for example, equality is ...

Hodge Theory
In mathematics, Hodge theory, named after W. V. D. Hodge, is a method for studying the cohomology groups of a smooth manifold ''M'' using partial differential equations. The key observation is that, given a Riemannian metric on ''M'', every cohomology class has a canonical representative, a differential form that vanishes under the Laplacian operator of the metric. Such forms are called harmonic. The theory was developed by Hodge in the 1930s to study algebraic geometry, and it built on the work of Georges de Rham on de Rham cohomology. It has major applications in two settings: Riemannian manifolds and Kähler manifolds. Hodge's primary motivation, the study of complex projective varieties, is encompassed by the latter case. Hodge theory has become an important tool in algebraic geometry, particularly through its connection to the study of algebraic cycles. While Hodge theory is intrinsically dependent upon the real and complex numbers, it can be applied to questions in nu ...

Algebraic Differential Form
Algebraic may refer to any subject related to algebra in mathematics and related branches like algebraic number theory and algebraic topology. The word algebra itself has several meanings. Algebraic may also refer to: * Algebraic data type, a datatype in computer programming each of whose values is data from other datatypes wrapped in one of the constructors of the datatype * Algebraic numbers, a complex number that is a root of a non-zero polynomial in one variable with integer coefficients * Algebraic functions, functions satisfying certain polynomials * Algebraic element, an element of a field extension which is a root of some polynomial over the base field * Algebraic extension, a field extension such that every element is an algebraic element over the base field * Algebraic definition, a definition in mathematical logic which is given using only equalities between terms * Algebraic structure, a set with one or more finitary operations defined on it * Algebraic, the order of ent ...

Jacobian Variety
In mathematics, the Jacobian variety ''J''(''C'') of a non-singular algebraic curve ''C'' of genus ''g'' is the moduli space of degree 0 line bundles. It is the connected component of the identity in the Picard group of ''C'', hence an abelian variety. Introduction The Jacobian variety is named after Carl Gustav Jacobi, who proved the complete version of the Abel–Jacobi theorem, making the injectivity statement of Niels Abel into an isomorphism. It is a principally polarized abelian variety, of dimension ''g'', and hence, over the complex numbers, it is a complex torus. If ''p'' is a point of ''C'', then the curve ''C'' can be mapped to a subvariety of ''J'' with the given point ''p'' mapping to the identity of ''J'', and ''C'' generates ''J'' as a group. Construction for complex curves Over the complex numbers, the Jacobian variety can be realized as the quotient space ''V''/''L'', where ''V'' is the dual of the vector space of all global holomorphic differentials on ''C'' ...

Albanese Variety
In mathematics, the Albanese variety A(V), named for Giacomo Albanese, is a generalization of the Jacobian variety of a curve. Precise statement The Albanese variety is the abelian variety A generated by a variety V taking a given point of V to the identity of A. In other words, there is a morphism from the variety V to its Albanese variety \operatorname(V), such that any morphism from V to an abelian variety (taking the given point to the identity) factors uniquely through \operatorname(V). For complex manifolds, defined the Albanese variety in a similar way, as a morphism from V to a torus \operatorname(V) such that any morphism to a torus factors uniquely through this map. (It is an analytic variety in this case; it need not be algebraic.) Properties For compact Kähler manifolds the dimension of the Albanese variety is the Hodge number h^, the dimension of the space of differentials of the first kind on V, which for surfaces is called the irregularity of a surface.

Irregularity Of A Surface
In mathematics, the irregularity of a complex surface ''X'' is the Hodge number h^= \dim H^1(\mathcal_X), usually denoted by ''q.'' The irregularity of an algebraic surface is sometimes defined to be this Hodge number, and sometimes defined to be the dimension of the Picard variety, which is the same in characteristic 0 but can be smaller in positive characteristic. The name "irregularity" comes from the fact that for the first surfaces investigated in detail, the smooth complex surfaces in P3, the irregularity happens to vanish. The irregularity then appeared as a new "correction" term measuring the difference p_g - p_a of the geometric genus and the arithmetic genus of more complicated surfaces. Surfaces are sometimes called regular or irregular depending on whether or not the irregularity vanishes. For a complex analytic manifold ''X'' of general dimension, the Hodge number h^= \dim H^1(\mathcal_X) is called the irregularity of X, and is denoted by ''q''. Complex surfaces For no ...
