The tangent space of an abelian variety at the identity #
The identity of an abelian variety A/K is a section Spec K ⟶ A of its structure morphism, so
the residue field κ(0) at the identity point is canonically the ground field; that
identification is AbelianVariety.zeroResidueFieldRingEquiv, built in
TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.AbelianVariety.Basic. It must be made explicit, because κ(0) and K
are not definitionally equal.
This file uses it to regard the Zariski tangent space at the identity as a vector space over the
ground field, and computes its dimension: it is the dimension of the abelian variety. Indeed A
is smooth over K, so its local ring at the identity is regular and its cotangent space
𝔪₀ / 𝔪₀² has dimension the Krull dimension of that local ring; and since the identity is a closed
point of the integral scheme A, locally of finite type over K, that local ring has the
dimension of A.

AbelianVariety.TangentSpace AisT₀A, the Zariski tangent space at the identity together with itsK-vector-space structure;AbelianVariety.finrank_tangentSpace_eq_finrank_cotangentSpacecomputes its dimension as the dimension of𝔪₀ / 𝔪₀²overκ(0);AbelianVariety.finrank_tangentSpace_eq_dim:dim_K T₀A = dim A.
For an affine group scheme the same tangent space is described in Hopf-algebra terms elsewhere
in the library: TauCeti.Bialgebra.CotangentSpace in
TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.Tangent.Cotangent is the augmentation ideal modulo its square,
and TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.Tangent.Basic describes the tangent space at the identity by
counit-valued derivations. The construction here is the scheme-level Zariski tangent space at a
point, which applies to an abelian variety, and no comparison between the two is made.
The residue field at the identity has dimension one over the ground field, since the
structure map of the K-algebra κ(0) is the bijection zeroResidueFieldRingEquiv.symm.
The residue field at the identity is a finite-dimensional K-vector space.
The tangent space T₀A of an abelian variety at its identity: the Zariski tangent space of
the underlying scheme at zeroPoint, carrying the K-vector-space structure transported along
zeroResidueFieldRingEquiv.
This is a type synonym rather than an abbreviation, so that the residue-field action, the
ground-field action and their scalar tower are declared together on one type — the arrangement
Mathlib recommends, and the reason Module.compHom is registered here rather than on the
underlying Module.Dual. The equivalence tangentSpaceLinearEquiv is the public interface to
the underlying Zariski tangent space.

The canonical equivalence sends a tangent vector to its underlying Zariski tangent vector.

Instances For
Evaluation in T₀A is application of the underlying Zariski tangent vector.
Restrict scalars on T₀A from κ(0) to K along the canonical residue-field
equivalence.
Equations
The ground-field action, the residue-field action, and the tangent-space action form the expected scalar tower.
Ground-field scalar multiplication on T₀A is restriction of the residue-field action.
Not a simp lemma: with algebraMap_zeroResidueField the right-hand side is the ground-field
scalar algebraMap K κ(0) k • v, which Mathlib's algebraMap_smul rewrites back to the left-hand
side.
The tangent space is finite-dimensional over the residue field, since the underlying Zariski tangent space is.
The tangent space of an abelian variety is finite-dimensional over the ground field.
The residue-field dimension of T₀A is that of the underlying Zariski tangent space: the
type synonym carries exactly the residue-field structure of the latter.
Computing the dimension of T₀A over K is the same as computing it over the canonically
identified residue field κ(0).
The dimension of the tangent space of an abelian variety over K is the dimension of the
cotangent space 𝔪₀ / 𝔪₀² over κ(0).
The tangent space of an abelian variety at the identity has dimension the dimension of the abelian variety.
