The Picard group under contraction of a (-1)-index #
Let e be a (-1)-index of a numerical type T and let T' be the contracted numerical type
TauCeti.NumericalType.contract, with components those of T other than e, weights w'ᵢ and
intersection numbers a'ᵢⱼ = aᵢⱼ + aᵢₑaⱼₑ / wₑ. The map of multidegrees
p(d)ⱼ = dⱼ (wⱼ / w'ⱼ) + dₑ (aₑⱼ / w'ⱼ)
carries the multidegree of each component i ≠ e of T to that of i in T', and the
multidegree of e to zero. It therefore descends to a homomorphism Pic(T) → Pic(T'), which is
injective and whose cokernel is killed by 2, since each ratio wⱼ / w'ⱼ is 1 or 2
(Stacks, Lemma 55.4.4).
This reduces questions about the torsion of Pic(T) to minimal numerical types: the ℓ-torsion
of Pic(T) has dimension at most that of Pic(T'). It also shows that the Picard group of a
numerical type of nonpositive genus is infinite cyclic
(Stacks, Lemma 55.4.5): such a type with more than
one component is not minimal, and contracting a (-1)-index preserves the genus.

The map of multidegrees #
The map of multidegrees p(d)ⱼ = dⱼ (wⱼ / w'ⱼ) + dₑ (aₑⱼ / w'ⱼ) from a numerical type to its
contraction along the (-1)-index e. It sends the multidegree of every component i ≠ e to the
multidegree of i in the contraction and the multidegree of e to zero; see
TauCeti.NumericalType.contractMultidegree_vecMul_weightedIntersection.

Instances For
The coordinates of TauCeti.NumericalType.contractMultidegree.
The coordinates of TauCeti.NumericalType.contractMultidegree with the exact divisions by
w'ⱼ cleared: p(d)ⱼ w'ⱼ = dⱼwⱼ + dₑaₑⱼ.
The map of multidegrees sends the multidegree of a component i ≠ e to the multidegree of
i in the contraction.
The map of multidegrees kills the multidegree of the contracted component e.
The map of multidegrees intertwines the weighted intersection matrices: the image of a
combination v of the multidegrees of the components of T is the same combination, with the
coefficient of e dropped, of the multidegrees of the components of the contraction.
A multidegree killed by the map of multidegrees is principal: it is a multiple of the
multidegree of e.
The homomorphism of Picard groups #
The principal multidegrees of T map to principal multidegrees of its contraction.
The homomorphism Pic(T) → Pic(T') from the Picard group of a numerical type to that of its
contraction along a (-1)-index, induced by TauCeti.NumericalType.contractMultidegree
(Stacks, Lemma 55.4.4).
Equations
Instances For
The homomorphism of Picard groups on the class of a multidegree.
The homomorphism Pic(T) → Pic(T') is injective
(Stacks, Lemma 55.4.4).
The cokernel of Pic(T) → Pic(T') is killed by 2: twice every class of the contraction
comes from Pic(T) (Stacks, Lemma 55.4.4).
Consequences #
The ℓ-torsion of Pic(T) has dimension at most that of Pic(T'), for every prime ℓ.
This reduces bounds on the prime torsion of Picard groups of numerical types to minimal numerical
types.
The Picard group of a numerical type of genus at most zero is infinite cyclic (Stacks, Lemma 55.4.5).
