Very Ample Line Bundle
In mathematics, a distinctive feature of algebraic geometry is that some line bundles on a projective variety can be considered "positive", while others are "negative" (or a mixture of the two). The most important notion of positivity is that of an ample line bundle, although there are several related classes of line bundles. Roughly speaking, positivity properties of a line bundle are related to having many global sections. Understanding the ample line bundles on a given variety ''X'' amounts to understanding the different ways of mapping ''X'' into projective space. In view of the correspondence between line bundles and divisors (built from codimension-1 subvarieties), there is an equivalent notion of an ample divisor. In more detail, a line bundle is called basepoint-free if it has enough sections to give a morphism to projective space. A line bundle is semi-ample if some positive power of it is basepoint-free; semi-ampleness is a kind of "nonnegativity". More strongly, a line bun ...

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 ...

Field (mathematics)
In mathematics, a field is a set on which addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are defined and behave as the corresponding operations on rational and real numbers do. A field is thus a fundamental algebraic structure which is widely used in algebra, number theory, and many other areas of mathematics. The best known fields are the field of rational numbers, the field of real numbers and the field of complex numbers. Many other fields, such as fields of rational functions, algebraic function fields, algebraic number fields, and ''p''-adic fields are commonly used and studied in mathematics, particularly in number theory and algebraic geometry. Most cryptographic protocols rely on finite fields, i.e., fields with finitely many elements. The relation of two fields is expressed by the notion of a field extension. Galois theory, initiated by Évariste Galois in the 1830s, is devoted to understanding the symmetries of field extensions. Among other results, thi ...

Commutative Ring
In mathematics, a commutative ring is a ring in which the multiplication operation is commutative. The study of commutative rings is called commutative algebra. Complementarily, noncommutative algebra is the study of ring properties that are not specific to commutative rings. This distinction results from the high number of fundamental properties of commutative rings that do not extend to noncommutative rings. Definition and first examples Definition A ''ring'' is a set R equipped with two binary operations, i.e. operations combining any two elements of the ring to a third. They are called ''addition'' and ''multiplication'' and commonly denoted by "+" and "\cdot"; e.g. a+b and a \cdot b. To form a ring these two operations have to satisfy a number of properties: the ring has to be an abelian group under addition as well as a monoid under multiplication, where multiplication distributes over addition; i.e., a \cdot \left(b + c\right) = \left(a \cdot b\right) + \left(a \cdot ...

Tensor Product Of Line Bundles
In differential geometry, the tensor product of vector bundles ''E'', ''F'' (over same space X) is a vector bundle, denoted by ''E'' ⊗ ''F'', whose fiber over a point x \in X is the tensor product of vector spaces ''E''''x'' ⊗ ''F''''x''.To construct a tensor-product bundle over a paracompact base, first note the construction is clear for trivial bundles. For the general case, if the base is compact, choose ''E'' such that ''E'' ⊕ ''E'' is trivial. Choose ''F'' in the same way. Then let ''E'' ⊗ ''F'' be the subbundle of (''E'' ⊕ ''E'') ⊗ (''F'' ⊕ ''F'') with the desired fibers. Finally, use the approximation argument to handle a non-compact base. See Hatcher for a general direct approach. Example: If ''O'' is a trivial line bundle, then ''E'' ⊗ ''O'' = ''E'' for any ''E''. Example: ''E'' ⊗ ''E'' ∗ is canonically isomorphic to the endomorphism bundle End(''E''), where ''E'' ∗ is the dual bundle of ''E''. Example: A line bundle ''L'' has tensor inverse: in fac ...

Stein Manifold
In mathematics, in the theory of several complex variables and complex manifolds, a Stein manifold is a complex submanifold of the vector space of ''n'' complex dimensions. They were introduced by and named after . A Stein space is similar to a Stein manifold but is allowed to have singularities. Stein spaces are the analogues of affine varieties or affine schemes in algebraic geometry. Definition Suppose X is a complex manifold of complex dimension n and let \mathcal O(X) denote the ring of holomorphic functions on X. We call X a Stein manifold if the following conditions hold: * X is holomorphically convex, i.e. for every compact subset K \subset X, the so-called ''holomorphically convex hull'', ::\bar K = \left \, :is also a ''compact'' subset of X. * X is holomorphically separable, i.e. if x \neq y are two points in X, then there exists f \in \mathcal O(X) such that f(x) \neq f(y). Non-compact Riemann surfaces are Stein manifolds Let ''X'' be a connected, non-compact Riema ...

Cartan's Theorem A
In mathematics, Cartan's theorems A and B are two results proved by Henri Cartan around 1951, concerning a coherent sheaf on a Stein manifold . They are significant both as applied to several complex variables, and in the general development of sheaf cohomology. Theorem B is stated in cohomological terms (a formulation that Cartan (1953, p. 51) attributes to J.-P. Serre): Analogous properties were established by Serre (1957) for coherent sheaves in algebraic geometry, when is an affine scheme. The analogue of Theorem B in this context is as follows : These theorems have many important applications. For instance, they imply that a holomorphic function on a closed complex submanifold, , of a Stein manifold can be extended to a holomorphic function on all of . At a deeper level, these theorems were used by Jean-Pierre Serre to prove the GAGA theorem. Theorem B is sharp in the sense that if for all coherent sheaves on a complex manifold (resp. quasi-coherent ...

Complex Geometry
In mathematics, complex geometry is the study of geometric structures and constructions arising out of, or described by, the complex numbers. In particular, complex geometry is concerned with the study of spaces such as complex manifolds and complex algebraic varieties, functions of several complex variables, and holomorphic constructions such as holomorphic vector bundles and coherent sheaves. Application of transcendental methods to algebraic geometry falls in this category, together with more geometric aspects of complex analysis. Complex geometry sits at the intersection of algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and complex analysis, and uses tools from all three areas. Because of the blend of techniques and ideas from various areas, problems in complex geometry are often more tractable or concrete than in general. For example, the classification of complex manifolds and complex algebraic varieties through the minimal model program and the construction of moduli spaces ...

Affine Scheme
In commutative algebra, the prime spectrum (or simply the spectrum) of a ring ''R'' is the set of all prime ideals of ''R'', and is usually denoted by \operatorname; in algebraic geometry it is simultaneously a topological space equipped with the sheaf of rings \mathcal. Zariski topology For any ideal ''I'' of ''R'', define V_I to be the set of prime ideals containing ''I''. We can put a topology on \operatorname(R) by defining the collection of closed sets to be :\. This topology is called the Zariski topology. A basis for the Zariski topology can be constructed as follows. For ''f'' ∈ ''R'', define ''D''''f'' to be the set of prime ideals of ''R'' not containing ''f''. Then each ''D''''f'' is an open subset of \operatorname(R), and \ is a basis for the Zariski topology. \operatorname(R) is a compact space, but almost never Hausdorff: in fact, the maximal ideals in ''R'' are precisely the closed points in this topology. By the same reasoning, it is not, in general, a ...

Quasi-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 which has a local presentation, that is, every point in X has an open neighborhood U in which there is an ex ...

Nef Line Bundle
In algebraic geometry, a line bundle on a projective variety is nef if it has nonnegative degree on every curve in the variety. The classes of nef line bundles are described by a convex cone, and the possible contractions of the variety correspond to certain faces of the nef cone. In view of the correspondence between line bundles and divisors (built from codimension-1 subvarieties), there is an equivalent notion of a nef divisor. Definition More generally, a line bundle ''L'' on a proper scheme ''X'' over a field ''k'' is said to be nef if it has nonnegative degree on every (closed irreducible) curve in ''X''. (The degree of a line bundle ''L'' on a proper curve ''C'' over ''k'' is the degree of the divisor (''s'') of any nonzero rational section ''s'' of ''L''.) A line bundle may also be called an invertible sheaf. The term "nef" was introduced by Miles Reid as a replacement for the older terms "arithmetically effective" and "numerically effective", as well as for the phrase "num ...

Proper Morphism
In algebraic geometry, a proper morphism between schemes is an analog of a proper map between complex analytic spaces. Some authors call a proper variety over a field ''k'' a complete variety. For example, every projective variety over a field ''k'' is proper over ''k''. A scheme ''X'' of finite type over the complex numbers (for example, a variety) is proper over C if and only if the space ''X''(C) of complex points with the classical (Euclidean) topology is compact and Hausdorff. A closed immersion is proper. A morphism is finite if and only if it is proper and quasi-finite. Definition A morphism ''f'': ''X'' → ''Y'' of schemes is called universally closed if for every scheme ''Z'' with a morphism ''Z'' → ''Y'', the projection from the fiber product :X \times_Y Z \to Z is a closed map of the underlying topological spaces. A morphism of schemes is called proper if it is separated, of finite type, and universally closed ( GAII, 5.4.. One also says that ''X'' is proper ...
