Glossary of algebraic geometry

This is a glossary of algebraic geometry. See also glossary of commutative algebra, glossary of classical algebraic geometry, and glossary of ring theory. For the number-theoretic applications, see glossary of arithmetic and Diophantine geometry. For simplicity, a reference to the base scheme is often omitted; i.e., a scheme will be a scheme over some fixed base scheme S and a morphism an S-morphism.

Chow Theory of Toric Variety Bundles

We describe the Chow homology and cohomology of toric variety bundles, with no restrictions on the singularities of the fibre. We present the ordinary and equivariant homologies as modules over the cohomology of the base, identify the ordinary cohomology with homology-valued Minkowski weights, and identify the equivariant cohomology with cohomology-weighted piecewise polynomial functions. We describe the product structure on Minkowski weights via a fan displacement rule, and the non-equivariant limit via eq

Nash equilibria in scalar discrete-time linear quadratic games

An open problem in linear quadratic (LQ) games has been characterizing the Nash equilibria. This problem has renewed relevance given the surge of work on understanding the convergence of learning algorithms in dynamic games. This paper investigates scalar discrete-time infinite-horizon LQ games with two agents. Even in this arguably simple setting, there are no results for finding all Nash equilibria. By analyzing the best response map, we formulate a polynomial system of equations characterizing the linear

On the Generation of Face Morphs by Inversion of Optimal Morph Embeddings

Automatic face recognition systems are widely used in different applications which require authentication. Among various types of attacks against face recognition systems, morphing attacks have become a major concern, where face images of two subjects are combined into a face morph image which is submitted for enrolment. In a successful attack, both contributing subjects can then authenticate against the morph reference. In this work, we propose a new method to generate face morphs based on inversion of the

Schubert variety

In algebraic geometry, a Schubert variety is a certain subvariety of a Grassmannian, usually with singular points. Like a Grassmannian, it is a kind of moduli space, whose points correspond to certain kinds of subspaces V, specified using linear algebra, inside a fixed vector subspace W. Here W may be a vector space over an arbitrary field, though most commonly over the complex numbers.

Complete variety

In mathematics, in particular in algebraic geometry, a complete algebraic variety is an algebraic variety X, such that for any variety Y the morphism is a closed map (i.e. maps closed sets onto closed sets). This can be seen as an analogue of compactness in algebraic geometry: a topological space X is compact if and only if the above projection map is closed with respect to topological products. The image of a complete variety is closed and is a complete variety. A closed subvariety of a complete variety is complete.

Iitaka dimension

In algebraic geometry, the Iitaka dimension of a line bundle L on an algebraic variety X is the dimension of the image of the rational map to projective space determined by L. This is 1 less than the dimension of the section ring of L The Iitaka dimension of L is always less than or equal to the dimension of X. If L is not effective, then its Iitaka dimension is usually defined to be or simply said to be negative (some early references define it to be −1).
