Coherent sheafIn 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 , and so they are closed under operations such as taking , , and cokernels.
Faisceau (de modules)En mathématique, un faisceau de modules est un faisceau sur un espace localement annelé qui possède une structure de module sur le faisceau structural . Sur un espace localement annelé , un faisceau de -modules (ou un -Module) est un faisceau sur tel que soit un -module pour tout ouvert , et que pour tout ouvert contenu dans , l'application restriction soit compatible avec les structures de modules: pour tous , on a Les notions de sous--modules et de morphismes de -modules sont claires.
Faisceau (mathématiques)En mathématiques, un faisceau est un outil permettant de suivre systématiquement des données définies localement et rattachées aux ouverts d'un espace topologique. Les données peuvent être restreintes à des ouverts plus petits, et les données correspondantes à un ouvert sont équivalentes à l'ensemble des données compatibles correspondantes aux ouverts plus petits couvrant l'ouvert d'origine. Par exemple, de telles données peuvent consister en des anneaux de fonctions réelles continues ou lisses définies sur chaque ouvert.
Cohomologie des faisceauxLes groupes de cohomologie d'un faisceau de groupes abéliens sont les groupes de cohomologie du complexe de cochaines. Les groupes de cohomologie d'un faisceau de groupes abéliens sont les groupes de cohomologie du complexe de cochaines : où est une résolution injective du faisceau , et désigne le groupe abélien des sections globales de . A unique isomorphisme canonique près, ces groupes ne dépendent pas de la résolution injective choisie. Le zéroième groupe est canoniquement isomorphe à .
Schéma (géométrie algébrique)En mathématiques, les schémas sont les objets de base de la géométrie algébrique, généralisant la notion de variété algébrique de plusieurs façons, telles que la prise en compte des multiplicités, l'unicité des points génériques et le fait d'autoriser des équations à coefficients dans un anneau commutatif quelconque.
Coherent sheaf cohomologyIn mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds, coherent sheaf cohomology is a technique for producing functions with specified properties. Many geometric questions can be formulated as questions about the existence of sections of line bundles or of more general coherent sheaves; such sections can be viewed as generalized functions. Cohomology provides computable tools for producing sections, or explaining why they do not exist. It also provides invariants to distinguish one algebraic variety from another.
Coherent dualityIn mathematics, coherent duality is any of a number of generalisations of Serre duality, applying to coherent sheaves, in algebraic geometry and complex manifold theory, as well as some aspects of commutative algebra that are part of the 'local' theory. The historical roots of the theory lie in the idea of the adjoint linear system of a linear system of divisors in classical algebraic geometry. This was re-expressed, with the advent of sheaf theory, in a way that made an analogy with Poincaré duality more apparent.
Hilbert schemeIn algebraic geometry, a branch of mathematics, a Hilbert scheme is a scheme that is the parameter space for the closed subschemes of some projective space (or a more general projective scheme), refining the Chow variety. The Hilbert scheme is a disjoint union of projective subschemes corresponding to Hilbert polynomials. The basic theory of Hilbert schemes was developed by . Hironaka's example shows that non-projective varieties need not have Hilbert schemes.
Base change theoremsIn mathematics, the base change theorems relate the and the of sheaves. More precisely, they are about the base change map, given by the following natural transformation of sheaves: where is a of topological spaces and is a sheaf on X. Such theorems exist in different branches of geometry: for (essentially arbitrary) topological spaces and proper maps f, in algebraic geometry for (quasi-)coherent sheaves and f proper or g flat, similarly in analytic geometry, but also for étale sheaves for f proper or g smooth.
Ringed spaceIn mathematics, a ringed space is a family of (commutative) rings parametrized by open subsets of a topological space together with ring homomorphisms that play roles of restrictions. Precisely, it is a topological space equipped with a sheaf of rings called a structure sheaf. It is an abstraction of the concept of the rings of continuous (scalar-valued) functions on open subsets. Among ringed spaces, especially important and prominent is a locally ringed space: a ringed space in which the analogy between the stalk at a point and the ring of germs of functions at a point is valid.
Formal schemeIn mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, a formal scheme is a type of space which includes data about its surroundings. Unlike an ordinary scheme, a formal scheme includes infinitesimal data that, in effect, points in a direction off of the scheme. For this reason, formal schemes frequently appear in topics such as deformation theory. But the concept is also used to prove a theorem such as the theorem on formal functions, which is used to deduce theorems of interest for usual schemes.
Direct image functorIn mathematics, the direct image functor is a construction in sheaf theory that generalizes the global sections functor to the relative case. It is of fundamental importance in topology and algebraic geometry. Given a sheaf F defined on a topological space X and a continuous map f: X → Y, we can define a new sheaf f∗F on Y, called the direct image sheaf or the pushforward sheaf of F along f, such that the global sections of f∗F is given by the global sections of F.
Schéma noethérienEn géométrie algébrique, les schémas noethériens sont aux schémas ce que les anneaux noethériens sont aux anneaux commutatifs. Ce sont les schémas qui possèdent un certain nombre de propriétés de finitude. De nombreux résultats fondamentaux en géométrie algébrique sont montrés dans le cadre des schémas noethériens. Il est généralement considéré comme raisonnable de travailler dans la catégorie des schémas noethériens. Un schéma affine Spec A est noethérien si A est un anneau noethérien.
Géométrie algébriqueLa géométrie algébrique est un domaine des mathématiques qui, historiquement, s'est d'abord intéressé à des objets géométriques (courbes, surfaces...) composés des points dont les coordonnées vérifiaient des équations ne faisant intervenir que des sommes et des produits (par exemple le cercle unité dans le plan rapporté à un repère orthonormé admet pour équation ). La simplicité de cette définition fait qu'elle embrasse un grand nombre d'objets et qu'elle permet de développer une théorie riche.
Module sur un anneauEn mathématiques, et plus précisément en algèbre générale, au sein des structures algébriques, : pour un espace vectoriel, l'ensemble des scalaires forme un corps tandis que pour un module, cet ensemble est seulement muni d'une structure d'anneau (unitaire, mais non nécessairement commutatif). Une partie des travaux en théorie des modules consiste à retrouver les résultats de la théorie des espaces vectoriels, quitte pour cela à travailler avec des anneaux plus maniables, comme les anneaux principaux.
Derived algebraic geometryDerived algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics that generalizes algebraic geometry to a situation where commutative rings, which provide local charts, are replaced by either differential graded algebras (over ), simplicial commutative rings or -ring spectra from algebraic topology, whose higher homotopy groups account for the non-discreteness (e.g., Tor) of the structure sheaf. Grothendieck's scheme theory allows the structure sheaf to carry nilpotent elements.
Group schemeIn mathematics, a group scheme is a type of object from algebraic geometry equipped with a composition law. Group schemes arise naturally as symmetries of schemes, and they generalize algebraic groups, in the sense that all algebraic groups have group scheme structure, but group schemes are not necessarily connected, smooth, or defined over a field. This extra generality allows one to study richer infinitesimal structures, and this can help one to understand and answer questions of arithmetic significance.
Glossary of algebraic geometryThis 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.
Stalk (sheaf)The stalk of a sheaf is a mathematical construction capturing the behaviour of a sheaf around a given point. Sheaves are defined on open sets, but the underlying topological space consists of points. It is reasonable to attempt to isolate the behavior of a sheaf at a single fixed point of . Conceptually speaking, we do this by looking at small neighborhoods of the point. If we look at a sufficiently small neighborhood of , the behavior of the sheaf on that small neighborhood should be the same as the behavior of at that point.
Quot schemeIn algebraic geometry, the Quot scheme is a scheme parametrizing sheaves on a projective scheme. More specifically, if X is a projective scheme over a Noetherian scheme S and if F is a coherent sheaf on X, then there is a scheme whose set of T-points is the set of isomorphism classes of the quotients of that are flat over T. The notion was introduced by Alexander Grothendieck. It is typically used to construct another scheme parametrizing geometric objects that are of interest such as a Hilbert scheme.
