Regular Embedding
In algebraic geometry, a closed immersion i: X \hookrightarrow Y of schemes is a regular embedding of codimension ''r'' if each point ''x'' in ''X'' has an open affine neighborhood ''U'' in ''Y'' such that the ideal of X \cap U is generated by a regular sequence of length ''r''. A regular embedding of codimension one is precisely an effective Cartier divisor. Examples and usage For example, if ''X'' and ''Y'' are smooth over a scheme ''S'' and if ''i'' is an ''S''-morphism, then ''i'' is a regular embedding. In particular, every section of a smooth morphism is a regular embedding. If \operatornameB is regularly embedded into a regular scheme, then ''B'' is a complete intersection ring. The notion is used, for instance, in an essential way in Fulton's approach to intersection theory. The important fact is that when ''i'' is a regular embedding, if ''I'' is the ideal sheaf of ''X'' in ''Y'', then the normal sheaf, the dual of I/I^2, is locally free (thus a vector bundle) and the na ...

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 ...

Locally Free 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 which has a local presentation, that is, every point in X has an open neighborhood U in which there is an exac ...

Regular Submanifold
In mathematics, a submanifold of a manifold ''M'' is a subset ''S'' which itself has the structure of a manifold, and for which the inclusion map satisfies certain properties. There are different types of submanifolds depending on exactly which properties are required. Different authors often have different definitions. Formal definition In the following we assume all manifolds are differentiable manifolds of class ''C''''r'' for a fixed , and all morphisms are differentiable of class ''C''''r''. Immersed submanifolds An immersed submanifold of a manifold ''M'' is the image ''S'' of an immersion map ; in general this image will not be a submanifold as a subset, and an immersion map need not even be injective (one-to-one) – it can have self-intersections. More narrowly, one can require that the map be an injection (one-to-one), in which we call it an injective immersion, and define an immersed submanifold to be the image subset ''S'' together with a topology and differentia ...

Acyclic Complex
Homological algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies homology in a general algebraic setting. It is a relatively young discipline, whose origins can be traced to investigations in combinatorial topology (a precursor to algebraic topology) and abstract algebra (theory of modules and syzygies) at the end of the 19th century, chiefly by Henri Poincaré and David Hilbert. Homological algebra is the study of homological functors and the intricate algebraic structures that they entail; its development was closely intertwined with the emergence of category theory. A central concept is that of chain complexes, which can be studied through both their homology and cohomology. Homological algebra affords the means to extract information contained in these complexes and present it in the form of homological invariants of rings, modules, topological spaces, and other 'tangible' mathematical objects. A powerful tool for doing this is provided by spectral sequences. It has played a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Koszul Complex
In mathematics, the Koszul complex was first introduced to define a cohomology theory for Lie algebras, by Jean-Louis Koszul (see Lie algebra cohomology). It turned out to be a useful general construction in homological algebra. As a tool, its homology can be used to tell when a set of elements of a (local) ring is an M-regular sequence, and hence it can be used to prove basic facts about the depth of a module or ideal which is an algebraic notion of dimension that is related to but different from the geometric notion of Krull dimension. Moreover, in certain circumstances, the complex is the complex of syzygies, that is, it tells you the relations between generators of a module, the relations between these relations, and so forth. Definition Let ''R'' be a commutative ring and ''E'' a free module of finite rank ''r'' over ''R''. We write \bigwedge^i E for the ''i''-th exterior power of ''E''. Then, given an ''R''-linear map s\colon E \to R, the Koszul complex associated to ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Projective Module
In mathematics, particularly in algebra, the class of projective modules enlarges the class of free modules (that is, modules with basis vectors) over a ring, by keeping some of the main properties of free modules. Various equivalent characterizations of these modules appear below. Every free module is a projective module, but the converse fails to hold over some rings, such as Dedekind rings that are not principal ideal domains. However, every projective module is a free module if the ring is a principal ideal domain such as the integers, or a polynomial ring (this is the Quillen–Suslin theorem). Projective modules were first introduced in 1956 in the influential book ''Homological Algebra'' by Henri Cartan and Samuel Eilenberg. Definitions Lifting property The usual category theoretical definition is in terms of the property of ''lifting'' that carries over from free to projective modules: a module ''P'' is projective if and only if for every surjective module homomor ...

Séminaire De Géométrie Algébrique Du Bois Marie
In mathematics, the ''Séminaire de Géométrie Algébrique du Bois Marie'' (''SGA'') was an influential seminar run by Alexander Grothendieck. It was a unique phenomenon of research and publication outside of the main mathematical journals that ran from 1960 to 1969 at the IHÉS near Paris. (The name came from the small wood on the estate in Bures-sur-Yvette where the IHÉS was located from 1962.) The seminar notes were eventually published in twelve volumes, all except one in the Springer Lecture Notes in Mathematics series. Style The material has a reputation of being hard to read for a number of reasons. More elementary or foundational parts were relegated to the EGA series of Grothendieck and Jean Dieudonné, causing long strings of logical dependencies in the statements. The style is very abstract and makes heavy use of category theory. Moreover, an attempt was made to achieve maximally general statements, while assuming that the reader is aware of the motivations and conc ...

Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch Theorem
In mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, the Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch theorem is a far-reaching result on coherent cohomology. It is a generalisation of the Hirzebruch–Riemann–Roch theorem, about complex manifolds, which is itself a generalisation of the classical Riemann–Roch theorem for line bundles on compact Riemann surfaces. Riemann–Roch type theorems relate Euler characteristics of the cohomology of a vector bundle with their topological degrees, or more generally their characteristic classes in (co)homology or algebraic analogues thereof. The classical Riemann–Roch theorem does this for curves and line bundles, whereas the Hirzebruch–Riemann–Roch theorem generalises this to vector bundles over manifolds. The Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch theorem sets both theorems in a relative situation of a morphism between two manifolds (or more general schemes) and changes the theorem from a statement about a single bundle, to one applying to chain complex ...

Perfect Complex
In algebra, a perfect complex of modules over a commutative ring ''A'' is an object in the derived category of ''A''-modules that is quasi-isomorphic to a bounded complex of finite projective ''A''-modules. A perfect module is a module that is perfect when it is viewed as a complex concentrated at degree zero. For example, if ''A'' is Noetherian, a module over ''A'' is perfect if and only if it is finitely generated and of finite projective dimension. Other characterizations Perfect complexes are precisely the compact objects in the unbounded derived category D(A) of ''A''-modules. They are also precisely the dualizable objects in this category. A compact object in the ∞-category of (say right) module spectra over a ring spectrum is often called perfect;http://www.math.harvard.edu/~lurie/281notes/Lecture19-Rings.pdf see also module spectrum.
