Algebraic Geometry

A better description of algebraic geometry is that it is the study of polynomial functions and the spaces on which they are deﬁned (algebraic varieties), just as topology is the study of continuous functions and the spaces on which they are deﬁned (topological spaces),

These notes are an introduction to the theory of algebraic varieties. In contrast to most such accounts they study abstract algebraic varieties, and not just subvarieties of affine and projective space. This approach leads more naturally into scheme theory.

A better description of algebraic geometry is that it is the study of polynomial functions and the spaces on which they are defined (algebraic varieties), just as topology is the study of continuous functions and the spaces on which they are defined (topological spaces), differential topology the study of infinitely differentiable functions and the spaces on which

they are defined (differentiable manifolds), and so on:algebraic geometryregular (polynomial) functionsalgebraic varieties

The approach adopted in this course makes plain the similarities between these different areas of mathematics. Of course, the polynomial functions form a much less rich class than the others, but by restricting our study to polynomials we are able to do calculus over any field: we simply define ddX Xa iXiDXia iXi?1: Moreover, calculations (on a computer) with polynomials are easier than with more general functions.1 For example, suppose that the system (1) has coefficientsaij2kand thatKis a field containingk.

Consider a nonzero differentiable functionf.x;y;z/. In calculus, we learn that the equation f.x;y;z/DC(2) defines a surfaceSinR3, and that the tangent plane toSat a pointPD.a;b;c/has equation 2 @f@x P .x?a/C?@f@y P .y?b/C?@f@z P .z?c/D0:(3) The inverse function theorem says that a differentiable map˛WS!S0of surfaces is a local isomorphism at a pointP2Sif it maps the tangent plane atPisomorphically onto the tangent plane atP0D˛.P/. Consider a nonzero polynomialf.x;y;z/with coefficients in a fieldk. In this course, we shall learn that the equation (2) defines a surface ink3, and we shall use the equation (3) to define the tangent space at a pointPon the surface. However, and this is one of the essential differences between algebraic geometry and the other fields, the inverse function theorem doesn"t hold in algebraic geometry. One other essential difference is that1=Xis - these functions can not be integrated in the ring of polynomial functions. The first ten chapters of the notes form a basic course on algebraic geometry. In these chapters we generally assume that the ground field is algebraically closed in order to be able to concentrate on the geometry. The remaining chapters treat more advanced topics, and are largely independent of one another except that chapter 11 should be read first. The approach to algebraic geometry taken in these notes In differential geometry it is important to define differentiable manifolds abstractly, i.e., not as submanifolds of some Euclidean space. For example, it is difficult even to make sense of a statement such as "the Gauss curvature of a surface is intrinsic to the surface but the principal curvatures are not" without the abstract notion of a surface. Until the mid 1940s, algebraic geometry was concerned only with algebraic subvarieties ofaffineorprojectivespaceoveralgebraicallyclosedfields. Then, inordertogivesubstance to his proof of the congruence Riemann hypothesis for curves an abelian varieties, Weil was forced to develop a theory of algebraic geometry for "abstract" algebraic varieties over arbitrary fields,

3but his "foundations" are unsatisfactory in two major respects:

Lacking a topology, his method of patching together affine varieties to form abstract varieties is clumsy. His definition of a variety over a base fieldkis not intrinsic; specifically, he fixes some large "universal" algebraically closed fieldand defines an algebraic variety overkto be an algebraic variety overwith ak-structure. In the ensuing years, several attempts were made to resolve these difficulties. In 1955, Serre resolved the first by borrowing ideas from complex analysis and defining an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field to be a topological space with a sheaf of functions2 Think ofSas a level surface for the functionf, and note that the equation is that of a plane through .a;b;c/perpendicular to the gradient vector.?f /PoffatP.

3 that is locally affine.

4Then, in the late 1950s Grothendieck resolved all such difficulties by

introducing his theory of schemes. In these notes, we follow Grothendieck except that, by working only over a base field, we are able to simplify his language by considering only the closed points in the underlying topological spaces. In this way, we hope to provide a bridge between the intuition given by differential geometry and the abstractions of scheme theory.4 Serre, Jean-Pierre. Faisceaux alg´ebriques coh´erents.
