The projective line is the two-chart model of k(X) #

The projective line ℙ¹_k = Proj k[X₀, X₁] over a field k (TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.projectiveLine) is a regular proper curve over k whose function field is the rational function field k(X), the function X₁ / X₀ going to X (TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.projectiveLine.functionFieldEquiv). By the classification of regular proper curves (AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.isoTwoChartModel), it is therefore isomorphic over k to the two-chart model of k(X) built from X, the scheme glued from Spec k[X] and Spec k[X⁻¹].

For a function field F finite over k(X), the two-chart model of F built from the image x of X maps finitely to the two-chart model of k(X) (TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.twoChartModel.isFinite_map), and is the normalization of the latter in F (TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.twoChartModel.normalizationIso). Composing with the isomorphism above gives the projection ν_F of the two-chart model of F onto ℙ¹_k itself: a finite morphism over k whose pullback of rational functions is the inclusion k(X) → F.

The projective line is a regular proper curve #

The projective line is a curve over k: it is integral and proper over k, and its dimension is the transcendence degree one of its function field k(X).

The projective line is the two-chart model of k(X) #

The projective line is the two-chart model of k(X): the isomorphism over k of ℙ¹_k = Proj k[X₀, X₁] with the scheme glued from Spec k[X] and Spec k[X⁻¹], whose pullback of rational functions is the identity of k(X) (functionFieldEquiv_functionFieldMap_isoTwoChartModel_hom).

    The pullback of rational functions along ℙ¹_k ≅ twoChartModel is the identity of k(X): under the identifications of both function fields with k(X), the pullback along the isomorphism ℙ¹_k ⟶ twoChartModel fixes every rational function.

    @[simp]

    The pullback of rational functions along the isomorphism twoChartModel ⟶ ℙ¹_k is the identity of k(X), under the identifications of both function fields with k(X).

    The projection of a two-chart model to the projective line #

    The projection ν_F of the two-chart model of F to the projective line, for a function field F integral, equivalently finite, over k(X): the morphism from the two-chart model of F built from the image x of X to ℙ¹_k, glued from Spec of the inclusions k[X] → 𝒪_x and k[X⁻¹] → 𝒪_{x⁻¹} and read through the isomorphism of ℙ¹_k with the two-chart model of k(X).

    Instances For

      The projection to the projective line is dominant.

      The projection of the two-chart model of F to the projective line is finite. This includes inseparable extensions F / k(X).

      @[simp]

      The pullback of rational functions along the projection to the projective line is the inclusion k(X) → F, under the identifications of the function fields of ℙ¹_k and of the two-chart model of F with k(X) and F.
