Reider's Theorem
In algebraic geometry, Reider's theorem gives conditions for a line bundle on a projective surface to be very ample. Statement Let ''D'' be a nef divisor on a smooth projective surface ''X''. Denote by ''K''''X'' the canonical divisor of X. * If ''D''2 > 4, then the linear system , ''K''''X''''+D'', has no base points unless there exists a nonzero effective divisor ''E'' such that ** DE = 0, E^2 = -1, or ** DE = 1, E^2 =0 ; * If ''D''2 > 8, then the linear system , ''K''''X''''+D'', is very ample unless there exists a nonzero effective divisor ''E'' satisfying one of the following: ** DE = 0, E^2 = -1 or -2; ** DE = 1, E^2 = 0 or -1; ** DE = 2, E^2 = 0; ** DE = 3, D = 3E, E^2 = 1 Applications Reider's theorem implies the surface case of the Fujita conjecture In mathematics, Fujita's conjecture is a problem in the theories of algebraic geometry and complex manifolds, unsolved .

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 topo ...

Line Bundle
In mathematics, a line bundle expresses the concept of a line that varies from point to point of a space. For example, a curve in the plane having a tangent line at each point determines a varying line: the ''tangent bundle'' is a way of organising these. More formally, in algebraic topology and differential topology, a line bundle is defined as a ''vector bundle'' of rank 1. Line bundles are specified by choosing a one-dimensional vector space for each point of the space in a continuous manner. In topological applications, this vector space is usually real or complex. The two cases display fundamentally different behavior because of the different topological properties of real and complex vector spaces: If the origin is removed from the real line, then the result is the set of 1×1 invertible real matrices, which is homotopy-equivalent to a discrete two-point space by contracting the positive and negative reals each to a point; whereas removing the origin from the complex pla ...

Very 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 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 b ...

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 p ...

Divisor (algebraic Geometry)
In algebraic geometry, divisors are a generalization of codimension-1 subvarieties of algebraic varieties. Two different generalizations are in common use, Cartier divisors and Weil divisors (named for Pierre Cartier and André Weil by David Mumford). Both are derived from the notion of divisibility in the integers and algebraic number fields. Globally, every codimension-1 subvariety of projective space is defined by the vanishing of one homogeneous polynomial; by contrast, a codimension-''r'' subvariety need not be definable by only ''r'' equations when ''r'' is greater than 1. (That is, not every subvariety of projective space is a complete intersection.) Locally, every codimension-1 subvariety of a smooth variety can be defined by one equation in a neighborhood of each point. Again, the analogous statement fails for higher-codimension subvarieties. As a result of this property, much of algebraic geometry studies an arbitrary variety by analysing its codimension-1 subvarietie ...

Canonical Divisor
In mathematics, the canonical bundle of a non-singular algebraic variety V of dimension n over a field is the line bundle \,\!\Omega^n = \omega, which is the ''n''th exterior power of the cotangent bundle Ω on ''V''. Over the complex numbers, it is the determinant bundle of holomorphic ''n''-forms on ''V''. This is the dualising object for Serre duality on ''V''. It may equally well be considered as an invertible sheaf. The canonical class is the divisor class of a Cartier divisor ''K'' on ''V'' giving rise to the canonical bundle — it is an equivalence class for linear equivalence on ''V'', and any divisor in it may be called a canonical divisor. An anticanonical divisor is any divisor −''K'' with ''K'' canonical. The anticanonical bundle is the corresponding inverse bundle ω−1. When the anticanonical bundle of V is ample, V is called a Fano variety. The adjunction formula Suppose that ''X'' is a smooth variety and that ''D'' is a smooth divisor on ''X''. ...

Linear System Of Divisors
In algebraic geometry, a linear system of divisors is an algebraic generalization of the geometric notion of a family of curves; the dimension of the linear system corresponds to the number of parameters of the family. These arose first in the form of a ''linear system'' of algebraic curves in the projective plane. It assumed a more general form, through gradual generalisation, so that one could speak of linear equivalence of divisors ''D'' on a general scheme or even a ringed space (''X'', ''O''''X''). Linear system of dimension 1, 2, or 3 are called a pencil, a net, or a web, respectively. A map determined by a linear system is sometimes called the Kodaira map. Definition Given the fundamental idea of a rational function on a general variety X, or in other words of a function f in the function field of X, f \in k(X), divisors D,E \in \text(X) are linearly equivalent divisors if :D = E + (f)\ where (f) denotes the divisor of zeroes and poles of the function f.

Fujita Conjecture
In mathematics, Fujita's conjecture is a problem in the theories of algebraic geometry and complex manifolds, unsolved . It is named after Takao Fujita, who formulated it in 1985. Statement In complex geometry, the conjecture states that for a positive holomorphic line bundle ''L'' on a compact complex manifold ''M'', the line bundle ''K''''M'' ⊗ ''L''⊗''m'' (where ''K''''M'' is a canonical line bundle of ''M'') is * spanned by sections when ''m'' ≥ ''n'' + 1 ; * very ample when ''m'' ≥ ''n'' + 2, where ''n'' is the complex dimension In mathematics, complex dimension usually refers to the dimension of a complex manifold or a complex algebraic variety. These are spaces in which the local neighborhoods of points (or of non-singular points in the case of a variety) are modeled on ... of ''M''. Note that for large ''m'' the line bundle ''K''''M'' ⊗ ''L''⊗''m'' is very ample by the standard Serre's vanishing theorem (and its complex analytic variant). Fujita conje ...

Annals Of Mathematics
The ''Annals of Mathematics'' is a mathematical journal published every two months by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. History The journal was established as ''The Analyst'' in 1874 and with Joel E. Hendricks as the founding editor-in-chief. It was "intended to afford a medium for the presentation and analysis of any and all questions of interest or importance in pure and applied Mathematics, embracing especially all new and interesting discoveries in theoretical and practical astronomy, mechanical philosophy, and engineering". It was published in Des Moines, Iowa, and was the earliest American mathematics journal to be published continuously for more than a year or two. This incarnation of the journal ceased publication after its tenth year, in 1883, giving as an explanation Hendricks' declining health, but Hendricks made arrangements to have it taken over by new management, and it was continued from March 1884 as the ''Annals of Mathematics''.

Algebraic Surfaces
In mathematics, an algebraic surface is an algebraic variety of dimension two. In the case of geometry over the field of complex numbers, an algebraic surface has complex dimension two (as a complex manifold, when it is non-singular) and so of dimension four as a smooth manifold. The theory of algebraic surfaces is much more complicated than that of algebraic curves (including the compact Riemann surfaces, which are genuine surfaces of (real) dimension two). Many results were obtained, however, in the Italian school of algebraic geometry, and are up to 100 years old. Classification by the Kodaira dimension In the case of dimension one varieties are classified by only the topological genus, but dimension two, the difference between the arithmetic genus p_a and the geometric genus p_g turns to be important because we cannot distinguish birationally only the topological genus. Then we introduce the irregularity for the classification of them. A summary of the results (in det ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
