Prime torsion for a numerical type #
For a numerical type T, this file equips the subgroups Pic(T)[ℓ] and Coker(A)[ℓ] killed by a
natural number ℓ with their canonical ZMod ℓ-module structures. When ℓ is prime,
Pic(T)[ℓ] is a finite-dimensional vector space. Its cardinality is therefore ℓ raised to its
dimension, which is the form of the torsion invariant used when comparing a numerical type with
torsion line bundles on a regular model.
The total degree of every nonzero-order torsion class vanishes. Equivalences of numerical types carry torsion classes to torsion classes and induce linear equivalences on the corresponding prime-torsion spaces, so both their dimension and cardinality are independent of the indexing of the components.
The Picard group follows Stacks, Tag 0C7H, and its finite generation and rank are Stacks, Tag 0C7I.
The subgroup Pic(T)[ℓ] of Picard classes killed by ℓ.
Although the main application takes ℓ prime, the subgroup is useful for every natural number.
For prime ℓ, it carries the canonical vector-space structure over ZMod ℓ.
Equations
- T.torsion ℓ = AddSubgroup.torsionBy T.Pic ↑ℓ
Instances For
The canonical ZMod ℓ-module structure on the ℓ-torsion of Pic(T).
Equations
The subgroup Coker(A)[ℓ] of classes in the cokernel of the intersection matrix killed by
ℓ.
Equations
- T.cokerTorsion ℓ = AddSubgroup.torsionBy T.Coker ↑ℓ
Instances For
The canonical ZMod ℓ-module structure on the ℓ-torsion of Coker(A).
Equations
If ℓ is nonzero, then the ℓ-torsion subgroup of Pic(T) is finite.
The ambient Picard group is finitely generated because it is a quotient of the finite free module
of multidegrees. Its ℓ-torsion subgroup is therefore a finitely generated torsion abelian group.
For nonzero ℓ, the ℓ-torsion subgroup of Pic(T) is finitely generated over ZMod ℓ.
The cardinality of prime torsion is the prime raised to its vector-space dimension.
Every Picard torsion class killed by a nonzero natural number has total degree zero.
The Picard group of a numerical type with a single component is torsion-free: its intersection matrix vanishes, so zero is the only principal multidegree.
A numerical type with a single component has no nonzero prime torsion in its Picard group.
An equivalence of numerical types induces a ZMod ℓ-linear equivalence on their
ℓ-torsion Picard subgroups.
