Stable Bundle
In mathematics, a stable vector bundle is a (holomorphic vector bundle, holomorphic or algebraic vector bundle, algebraic) vector bundle that is stable in the sense of geometric invariant theory. Any holomorphic vector bundle may be built from stable ones using Harder–Narasimhan filtration. Stable bundles were defined by David Mumford in and later built upon by David Gieseker, Fedor Bogomolov, Thomas Bridgeland and many others. Motivation One of the motivations for analyzing stable vector bundles is their nice behavior in families. In fact, Moduli spaces of stable vector bundles can be constructed using the Quot scheme in many cases, whereas the stack of vector bundles \mathbfGL_n is an Artin stack whose underlying set is a single point. Here's an example of a family of vector bundles which degenerate poorly. If we tensor the Euler sequence of \mathbb^1 by \mathcal(1) there is an exact sequence0 \to \mathcal(-1) \to \mathcal\oplus \mathcal \to \mathcal(1) \to 0which represents ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Ample
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 spaces. 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 bundl ...

Tensor Product Bundle
In differential geometry, the tensor product of vector bundles , (over the same space ) is a vector bundle, denoted by , whose fiber over each point is the tensor product of vector spaces .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 such that is trivial. Choose in the same way. Then let be the subbundle of with the desired fibers. Finally, use the approximation argument to handle a non-compact base. See Hatcher for a general direct approach. Example: If is a trivial line bundle, then for any . Example: is canonically isomorphic to the endomorphism bundle , where is the dual bundle of . Example: A line bundle has a tensor inverse: in fact, is (isomorphic to) a trivial bundle by the previous example, as is trivial. Thus, the set of the isomorphism classes of all line bundles on some topological space forms an abelian group called the Pica ...

Serre Twist
In algebraic geometry, Proj is a construction analogous to the spectrum-of-a-ring construction of affine schemes, which produces objects with the typical properties of projective spaces and projective varieties. The construction, while not functorial, is a fundamental tool in scheme theory. In this article, all rings will be assumed to be commutative and with identity. Proj of a graded ring Proj as a set Let S be a commutative graded ring, whereS = \bigoplus_ S_iis the direct sum decomposition associated with the gradation. The irrelevant ideal of S is the ideal of elements of positive degreeS_+ = \bigoplus_ S_i .We say an ideal is homogeneous if it is generated by homogeneous elements. Then, as a set,\operatorname S = \. For brevity we will sometimes write X for \operatorname S. Proj as a topological space We may define a topology, called the Zariski topology, on \operatorname S by defining the closed sets to be those of the form :V(a) = \, where a is a homogeneous ideal ...

Euler Characteristic
In mathematics, and more specifically in algebraic topology and polyhedral combinatorics, the Euler characteristic (or Euler number, or Euler–Poincaré characteristic) is a topological invariant, a number that describes a topological space's shape or structure regardless of the way it is bent. It is commonly denoted by \chi (Greek alphabet, Greek lower-case letter chi (letter), chi). The Euler characteristic was originally defined for polyhedron, polyhedra and used to prove various theorems about them, including the classification of the Platonic solids. It was stated for Platonic solids in 1537 in an unpublished manuscript by Francesco Maurolico. Leonhard Euler, for whom the concept is named, introduced it for convex polyhedra more generally but failed to rigorously prove that it is an invariant. In modern mathematics, the Euler characteristic arises from homology (mathematics), homology and, more abstractly, homological algebra. Polyhedra The Euler characteristic was ...

Torsion-free Module
In algebra, a torsion-free module is a module over a ring such that zero is the only element annihilated by a regular element (non zero-divisor) of the ring. In other words, a module is ''torsion free'' if its torsion submodule contains only the zero element. In integral domains the regular elements of the ring are its nonzero elements, so in this case a torsion-free module is one such that zero is the only element annihilated by some non-zero element of the ring. Some authors work only over integral domains and use this condition as the definition of a torsion-free module, but this does not work well over more general rings, for if the ring contains zero-divisors then the only module satisfying this condition is the zero module. Examples of torsion-free modules Over a commutative ring ''R'' with total quotient ring ''K'', a module ''M'' is torsion-free if and only if Tor1(''K''/''R'',''M'') vanishes. Therefore flat modules, and in particular free and projective modules, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hyperplane Section
In mathematics, a hyperplane section of a subset ''X'' of projective space P''n'' is the intersection of ''X'' with some hyperplane ''H''. In other words, we look at the subset ''X''''H'' of those elements ''x'' of ''X'' that satisfy the single linear condition ''L'' = 0 defining ''H'' as a linear subspace. Here ''L'' or ''H'' can range over the dual projective space of non-zero linear forms in the homogeneous coordinates, up to scalar multiplication. From a geometrical point of view, the most interesting case is when ''X'' is an algebraic subvariety; for more general cases, in mathematical analysis, some analogue of the Radon transform applies. In algebraic geometry, assuming therefore that ''X'' is ''V'', a subvariety not lying completely in any ''H'', the hyperplane sections are algebraic sets with irreducible components all of dimension dim(''V'') − 1. What more can be said is addressed by a collection of results known collectively as Bertini's theorem. The topology of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Projective Variety
In algebraic geometry, a projective variety is an algebraic variety that is a closed subvariety of a projective space. That is, it is the zero-locus in \mathbb^n of some finite family of homogeneous polynomials that generate a prime ideal, the defining ideal of the variety. A projective variety is a projective curve if its dimension is one; it is a projective surface if its dimension is two; it is a projective hypersurface if its dimension is one less than the dimension of the containing projective space; in this case it is the set of zeros of a single homogeneous polynomial. If ''X'' is a projective variety defined by a homogeneous prime ideal ''I'', then the quotient ring :k _0, \ldots, x_nI is called the homogeneous coordinate ring of ''X''. Basic invariants of ''X'' such as the degree and the dimension can be read off the Hilbert polynomial of this graded ring. Projective varieties arise in many ways. They are complete, which roughly can be expressed by saying t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 manifold In mathematics, a manifold is a topological space that locally resembles Euclidean space near each point. More precisely, an n-dimensional manifold, or ''n-manifold'' for short, is a topological space with the property that each point has a N ...s in topology. Definition First, let ''X'' be an affine scheme of Glossary of scheme theory#finite, 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' ...

Finite Field
In mathematics, a finite field or Galois field (so-named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field (mathematics), field that contains a finite number of Element (mathematics), elements. As with any field, a finite field is a Set (mathematics), set on which the operations of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division are defined and satisfy certain basic rules. The most common examples of finite fields are the integers mod n, integers mod p when p is a prime number. The ''order'' of a finite field is its number of elements, which is either a prime number or a prime power. For every prime number p and every positive integer k there are fields of order p^k. All finite fields of a given order are isomorphism, isomorphic. Finite fields are fundamental in a number of areas of mathematics and computer science, including number theory, algebraic geometry, Galois theory, finite geometry, cryptography and coding theory.

Moduli Space
In mathematics, in particular algebraic geometry, a moduli space is a geometric space (usually a scheme (mathematics), scheme or an algebraic stack) whose points represent algebro-geometric objects of some fixed kind, or isomorphism classes of such objects. Such spaces frequently arise as solutions to classification problems: If one can show that a collection of interesting objects (e.g., the smooth algebraic curves of a fixed genus (topology), genus) can be given the structure of a geometric space, then one can parametrize such objects by introducing coordinates on the resulting space. In this context, the term "modulus" is used synonymously with "parameter"; moduli spaces were first understood as spaces of parameters rather than as spaces of objects. A variant of moduli spaces is formal moduli. Bernhard Riemann first used the term "moduli" in 1857. Motivation Moduli spaces are spaces of solutions of geometric classification problems. That is, the points of a moduli space corr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
