1 Algebraic Geometry (Intersection Theory) Seminar Lecture 1 (January 20, 2009) We ill discuss cycles, rational equivalence, and Theorem 1.4 in Fulton, as ell as push-forard of rational equivalence. Notationise, e ill let scheme mean an algebraic scheme over a field, variety ill mean a reduced and irreducible scheme, and a point ill mean a closed point. Let \ be a scheme and Z \ a subvariety. Then b@ßb œ b8ßb here 8 is a generic point of Z. For a variety \, let V \ be the field of rational functions. Let \ be a variety ith Z \ a subvariety of codimension one. Then bzß\ has dimension, and V bzß\ œ V \. For any! Á < V \ œ V bzß\ ith < œ +Î, for +ß, bzß\. For any! Á = b, j b ÎW. Zß\ Zß\ Definition. Let \ be a variety and Z \ a subvariety ith codimension. Then there is a ell-defined homomorphism ord Z À V \ Ä such that ( for < V \ œ V b, < œ +Î, ith +ß, b ): Zß\ (i) ord < œ ord + ord,, (ii) ord Z Z Z Z + œ j b Î+, and Zß\ (iii) ord, œ j b Î,. Z Zß\ Example. If \ is a veriety hich is regular in codimension one, this means for any Z \ a subvariety ith codimension, b Zß\ is a discrete valuation ring. Cycles and rational equivalence Definition. Let \ be a scheme. A 5 -cycle on \ is a finite formal sum 8 cz d ß 8 here Z \ are 5 -dimensional subvarieties of \. Let ^ \ œ e 8 cz d lz are a 5-dimensional subvarieties f, so 5 Any element α œ eαf 5! ^ \ œ 9 ^ 5 \. 5! ^ O 5 is called a cycle. Zß\

2 For \ a scheme, let \ ßÞÞÞß\ > be irreducible components of \. For each \, e have geometric multiplicity 7 œ j b\ ß\. Notice \ has a generic points ( ( b b is an Artinian ring). \ ß\ œ ( > Notation. We define c\ d œ 7 c\ d ^ \ (this is a cycle). œ We ant to give an equivalence relation on cycles. Let \ be a scheme and [ \ a 5 -dimensional subvariety. For < V [, e define cdiv < d œ ord < czd. cod Z [ [ Z œ Notice a 5 -cycle α is rationally equivalent to!, ritten α µ!, if there are a finite number of 5 -dimensional subvarieties [ \ and < V [ such that α œ cdiv < d. All the cycles equivalent to! are ritten Rat 5 \. We can no define the cycle class, E 5\ œ ^ 5\Î Rat 5\, ith E \ œ 9 E \ œ 9 ^ \Î Rat \ ! 5! Examples. (1) E 5 \ z E 5 \ red, since \ and \ reduced have the same subvarieties. (2) If \ œ \ \ # ÞÞÞ \ >, then ^ \ œ 9 > ^ \ and E \ œ 9 > E \. œ œ () If dim \ œ 8, then E 8\ œ ^ 8\, then there are no 5 -dimensional subvarieties, so there is nothing to mod out by. (4) If \ and \# are subschemes of \, then is an exact sequence. E 5 \ \ # Ä E 5 \ ŠE 5 \# Ä E 5 \ \ # Ä! Z

3 (5) If Z is an irreducible component of \, then for any cycle class α E \, e define the coefficient of Z in α to be the coefficient of czd in any cycle hich represents α (since α œ 8 cz d). (6) If \ œ spec O, then E \ œ ^ \ œ (just one point).!! c B d 5 cb d! c: d (7) If \ œ, then E \ œ ^ \ œ and E \ œ Pic œ. (8) Let Z be a 5 -dimensional variety. Assume e have 0 À Z Ä a dominant function ( 0 Z œ, or other ay to think about it is that 0 maps a generic point of Z to a generic point of, or even 0 V Z ). Let's look at the fibers 0! and 0 (i.e., if œ B! À B, e have! œ À! and œ! À ). Then 0! and 0 are purely 5- dimensional subschemes, so c0! 0 d œ cdiv 0 d. Push-forard of cycles Let 0 À \ Ä ] be a proper morphism of to schemes. Then for a unique α ^ \, e ant to understand 0 α ^ ]. Assume α is a 5-cycle ith α œ 8cZd ith Z a 5-dimensional subvariety. We ant 0 czd œ? ^ ] to have some (covariant) functorial property relating \ and ]. If 0 À \ Ä ] and 0 À Z Ä [ œ 0 Z ( 0 Z is a subvariety of ] ). We ant (1) dim [ dim Z means 0cZd œ!. (2) dim [ œ dim Z means V Z ä V [ has degree cv [ À V Z d We then call 0 czd œ cv Z À V [ d c[ d (so 0 α is ell-defined). Theorem. [1.4] If 0 À \ Ä ] is a proper morphism and α is a 5-cycle on \ hich is rationally equivalent to!, then 0α is rationally equivalent to zero on ]. Proof. We rite α œ cdiv < d for < V Z for some 5 -dimensional subvariety of \. That is, α œ cdiv < d œ 8cZd. codim Z Z Z œ Z

4 For this cycle, e can assume \ œ Z and ] œ 0 Z. We can assume \ is a variety and ] is a variety and 0 À \ Ä ] is a proper surjection. No e use the belo proposition. Proposition. [1.4] Let let < V \. Then 0 À \ Ä ] be a proper, surjective morphism and (a) 0 cdiv < d œ! if dim ] dim \. (b) 0 cdiv < d œ cdiv R < d if dim ] œ dim \, < here R < is determinant of V \ Ä V \ as an V ] -linear morphism ( R V V ] ). Proof. Case 1. Let ] œ spec O for O a field. Let \ œ 5 ith 0 À 5 Ä spec O. Since V \ œ O >, and < V \ œ O > ( < œ +Î, ith +ß, O c> d), e can assume < O c> d is an irreducible polynomial (since cdiv < d œ cdiv + d cdiv, d, so if e prove it for cdiv + d and cdiv, d (and e kno + and, are polynomials), then e have shon it for cdiv < d). Furthermore, let T œ < be a maximal prime ideal ( T \ œ 5 is a closed point). In this case, ord T < œ (since b: œ O c> d < ), and ord U < œ! for U O c> d ith U Á T. Finally, consider the point T 5. Then T œ ˆ > O > (it corresponds to the prime ideal generated by > in the ring O > ). The ay to visualize this is that O c> d is for everything but, and O > is for everything but!. Call degree < œ.. Then < œ ˆ. 2ˆ > >, some poly. For # # example, < œ > œ ˆ ˆ. Then on, e have > > # cdiv < d œ c: d. ct d and 0 cdiv < d œ cv T À Od. cv T À Od œ.. œ!, ith V T œ O c> dî<. Case 2. If 0 À \ Ä ] is finite, set ith O œ V ] and P œ V \ and O ä P. Also, assume all varieties in cdiv < d map to a variety [ ] of codimension. Let E œ b [ß] (the generic point of this image) and 7 œ 7 [ß]. Consider the commutative diagram 5

There is a one-to-one correspondence beteen, ez \l0 Z œ [ f and { 7 Fl7 E œ 7} Þ Also, from the diagram, F Œ O œ P and F Œ O œ P. No assume < F. Then computationally, div < œ ord < cz d, and Z E Z 0 cdiv < d œ ord < cv Z À V [ dc[ d Z Z 7 œ j F Î< cv Z À V [ dc[ d.

Z Alternate Definition of Rational Equivalence E Let Z ä \ Ä ith Z a 5 -dimensional variety and \ Ä \. Then the fibers 0! \ e! f and 0 \ e f are purely 5-dimensional subvarieties of Z. Then if 0! \ e! f, e can define div 0 œ c0! d c0 d and : div 0 œ : c0! d : c0 d here : c0! d œ Z! and : c0 d œ Z. Proposition 1.6. A cycle α in ^ 5 \ is rationally equivalent to zero if and only if there are 5 -dimensional subvarieties Z ßÞÞÞßZ > of \ such that projections from Z to are dominant ith > α œ cz! d cz d œ E. E

6 Proof. We have α œ cdiv < d ( < V [, [ a 5 -dimensional sub- < variety of \). Then consider [ Ä and e have Z ä \ Ä and divc< d œ : cdiv 0 d œ cz! d cz d (here 0 À Z Ä ). Lecture 2 (January 27, 2009) Recall from last time that for \ a scheme, 8 cz d is a 5-cycle, and ^ \ 5 is ^ \ œ e 8 cz d lz are 5-dimensional subvarieties f. 5 Furthermore, ^ \ œ 9 ^ 5\. For [ X 5 -dimensional, < V [, 5! cdiv < d œ ord czd. cod [ Zœ Z < Furthermore, recall that RatV\ œ eeldiv < f ( < µ!). We defined ith E 5\ œ ^ 5\Î Rat5\ E \ œ 9 E 5\. 5! Theorem 1.4. For 0 À \ Ä ] a proper morphism, e define 0 À ^ \ Ä ^ ] \ 5 5 by 0 czd œ deg ZÎ[ c[ d ([ œ 0 Z ). Then for α µ! on \, 0 α µ! on ]. We ill motivate this theorem by seeing its application to Bezout's Theorem on plane curves.

Ramin says: Keep in mind, for flat morphisms, it essentially means that the dimensions of fibers are constant. This is hat it means to be flat, it makes these morphisms nice in the aforementioned sense. [not really a quote, just paraphrase] Specifically, for 0 C a fiber of a flat morphism 0 À \ Ä ], the dimension is given by dim \ dim ]. Lemma For all subschemes ] ]ß 0 c] d œ c0 ] d. Proposition 1.7. Consider the fiber square ith 1 flat and 0 proper: 1 \ Ä \ 0 Æ Æ 0

The product of to sets \ and ] is the Cartesian pairs BßC such that you have to projections onto B and onto C. The above is the situation hen B and C don't have any maps onto any other thing. No, if you did have a third map, then you'd ant the collection of pairs BßC hich actually map into the same thing in D. Set theoretically, for a diagram ^ Ä ] Æ Æ 0 \ Ä 1 ^, the fiber product is ^ \ ] given by ^ œ e BßC l1 B œ 0 C f. Suppose you have specv Ä Spec W and Spec X Ä Spec W and you ant to construct something Ä Spec V and Ä Spec X (diagram). First thing you do is reverse the arros so you get W Ä Vß W Ä X, and then the ring you construct is V Ä V Œ WX and X Ä V Œ WX. Then you consider the spectrum of these rings and that is the fiber product. Problem is, schemetheoretically you have to do this locally, so you have to make sure the data glues together. Proof. For \ and ] varieties ith α œ c\ d, assume surjective. Then 0 \ œ ] and 0 c\ d œ. c] d. We ant 0 c\ d œ. c] d. Take \ œ Spec P and ] œ Spec O ith OßP fields, and let ] œ Spec E ith E local Artinian, and E œ Spec F ith F œ EŒ O P. Then e are done by Lemma A.1.. We are no ready to prove the main theorem. Theorem 1.7. If 0 À \ Ä ] is a flat morphism (of relative dimension 8), define 0 À ^ 5] Ä ^ 5 8\ by 0 czd œ c0 Zd ( Z a variety). Then for α µ! in ^ 5], 0 α µ! in ^ 5 8\ Proof. Let α µ! in ^ O]. Then α œ cz! d cz d ith Z! œ ;:!, for

Need 2 œ 2l ith 2 T œ 7 c2 T d for T œ!ß. [ 1.8 An Exact Sequence See Proposition 1.8 and Example Lecture (February, 2009) Recall that if \ is a variety and Z \ is of codimension, then e defined a= b Zß\ (regular functions in the local ring), then j b Zß\ Î =. Furthermore, recall that a 5-cycle is a finite formal sum Z \ßdim Zœ5 8<cZd. Divisors Definition. Let \ be a variety ( 8-dimensional). Then a Weil divisor is an 8 -cycle on \. Furthermore, ^ \ œ abelian group of Weil divisors. 8 Definition. A C artier divisor on \ is defined by e Yαß0α f œ H, here Y α \ is open, and \ œ - αyα, and 0α are non-zero functions in V Yα œ V \ that satisfy (1) 0 α Î! on Yα, (2) 0α Î0 is a unit on Yα Y (a unit is nohere-vanishing, regular). Definition. The 's are called the local equation of. 0 H α

10 Definition. If H is a Cartier divisor of \, and Z \ is a subvariety of codimension ß then e can define an order function on the divisor, ord H ³ ord 0. Z This is ell-defined (independent of our choice of local equations) because they differ by a unit: ord 0α œ ord?0, here? is a unit in b Y Y ß\. Z α α Definition. The associated Weil divisor to H is chd œ ord HcZd. Z \ß codim Note. There are only finitely many Z \ of order ZH Á!. Definition. Let Div \ œ group of Cartier divisors. Let H œ Yαß0α ßI œ Yαß1α. Then e define H I œ Yαß0α1α. We also induce a homomorphism Div \ Ä ^ \ ith H È chd. Definition. For any 0 V \, e define a Principle Cartier Divisors div 0 by all local equations œ 0. Definition. To Cartier divisors H and are linearly equivalent if there exists an 0 V \ such that H œ H div 0. Definition. Pic \ œ Div \ Î µ, here µ is the above linear equivalence. Hence, H œ H div 0 Ö chd ch d µ! as 8 -cycle. This induces Pic \ Ä E \. 8 Definition. The support of a Cartier divisor HÎ\ denoted supp H, or khk is the unit of all subvarieties ^ \ such that if H œ Yαß0α then 0α is not a unit of b \ß^. Or 0α somehere on some ^ \ (that is, 0α has a zero or a pole on ^ \). Example. If \ is defined by D œ BC, then B œ D œ! is a Weil divisor, but not a Cartier divisor. This is because there is no ay to have local equations about the cycles define B œ D œ! exclusively. If D œ! Ö B œ D œ! or C œ D œ!. No matter hat local equation you choose, you ill alays get another line. $ # Line bundles as pseudo-divisors Definition.

(Recall isomorphism of line bundles!) Definition. For \ an algebraic scheme, E a Cartier divisor, a divisor H determines a line bundle b H by the sheaf of sections on the b\ -subsheaf generated by Î0 on Y (ith \ œ - Y ). Definition. A cartier divisor H is effective if the 0 œ = Hl Y for = H b\, here = H is the canonical section (i.e., if H has a canonical section that is regular, it is effective). Definition. A canonical divisor H determines a pseudo-divisor b H ßkHkß=. If Pß^ß= if khk œ ^ and b H z P. B H \ Lemma. If \ is a variety, any pseudo-divisor Pß^ß= is represented by a cartier divisor H such that (1) If ^ Á \, the operation is unique. (2) If ^ œ \, the operation is unique up to linear equivalence. Definition. If H is a pseudo-divisor on an 8-dimensional variety ith support khk, then the Weil divisor class is chd E khk. Definition. If E œ Pß^ß= and F œ P ß^ ß= are pseudo-divisors, then 8 E F œ PŒP ß^ ^ ß=Œ=, and, E œ P ß^ßÎ= here the tensor product is taken over the trivial bundle, PŒP ß^ß=Œ=. Definition.

12 Definition. If H is a pseudo-divisor on a scheme \ and Z is a 5- dimensional sub- variety of \, define HcZd or H Z in E5 khk Z to be 4 H, a pseudo-divisor on Z ith support khk Z. Then H Z is the Weil divisor class of 4 H œ c4 Hd. Note: If H is a Cartier divisor, and Z Î khk, then H retracts (pullback) to a Cartier divisor by 4 H. Definition. Let α œ 8ZcZd be a 5-cycle. Then the support of α, kαk is the union of subvarieties ith non-zero coefficients. Definition. Each H czd is a class in E5 khk kαk. We define the intersection class H α œ 8 H czd Z. Proposition. If H is a pseudo-divisor on \ and α is a 5-cycle, then (1) H α α œ H α H α, (2) H H α œ H α Hš () If 0 À \ Ä \ is a morphism, then there is 8 Z 1 À 0 khk kαk Ä khk 0 kαk ith 1 0 H α œ H 0 α.
