The category of regular proper curves and the function-field functor #
A regular proper curve over a field k is a curve over k (an integral scheme, proper and of
dimension one over k) whose local rings at its codimension-one points, its closed points, are
discrete valuation rings. With the dominant k-morphisms as morphisms these curves form a
category, the geometric side of the anti-equivalence with algebraic function fields of one
variable over k.
Taking function fields is a contravariant functor from this category to the category
TauCeti.FunctionFieldCat k of algebraic function fields over k: a curve goes to its function
field k(X), an algebraic function field by AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.IsCurveOver.isFunctionField,
and a dominant k-morphism f : X ⟶ Y to the pullback of rational functions
f^* : k(Y) → k(X), a k-algebra homomorphism by
AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.Hom.functionFieldAlgHom.
A regular projective curve over k is an integral scheme of dimension one, projective over k in
the sense of AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.IsProjectiveOver, whose local rings at its codimension-one
points are discrete valuation rings. A projective scheme is proper, so a regular projective curve
is a regular proper curve, and the regular projective curves form a full subcategory of the regular
proper curves. Every regular proper curve is projective
(AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.isProjectiveOver_of_isCurveOver), so this inclusion is an equivalence
(TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.RegularProjectiveCurveCat.equivRegularProperCurveCat).
