The two-chart model as a closed subscheme of a projective space #
Let F / k be an algebraic function field, let z ∈ Fˣ, and write D = (z)_∞ for its pole
divisor. The two-chart model of F built from z is Proj of the section ring
⨁ₙ L(nD) (TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.twoChartModel.sectionRingProjIso). Suppose that every
positive degree of this section ring is generated in degree one, that is, L(nD) ⊆ L(D)ⁿ for
every n ≠ 0. Then the graded lift Sym_k L(D) → ⨁ₙ L(nD) of the identification of L(D) with
the degree-one part is surjective in positive degrees, so Proj of the section ring is a closed
subscheme of the projective space Proj (Sym_k L(D))
(AlgebraicGeometry.Proj.isClosedImmersion_map_gradedLift). Degree zero does not matter, which
is why no exactness of the constants is needed here: L(0) is the full constant field of F.
This file assembles these into a closed immersion of the two-chart model into Proj (Sym_k L(D))
over k: the embedding of the curve by the complete linear system of D. Since L(D) is
finite-dimensional, Proj (Sym_k L(D)) is a projective space over k.
Generation in degree one is a genuine condition on z. It holds for every z when F has genus
zero and k is the exact constant field of F
(TauCeti.riemannRochSpace_nsmul_poles_le_pow_of_genus_eq_zero), for instance for the rational
function field k(X); for z = X the space L(D) is spanned by 1 and X, so the target is the
projective line. In every genus and over any constant field, it holds in positive degrees after
replacing a transcendental z by a power z ^ e with e ≥ 1 and e ≥ 2g, where g is the genus
of F over its full constant field (TauCeti.riemannRochSpace_nsmul_poles_pow_le_pow_of_ne_zero),
since the pole divisor of z ^ e is e D.
Since the two-chart model does not depend on the transcendental function it is built from
(TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.twoChartModel.isoOfAlgEquiv), every two-chart model is
projective: it is a closed subscheme over k of a projective space Proj (Sym_k V) with V
finite-dimensional. Every regular proper curve over k is the two-chart model of its function
field (AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.isoTwoChartModel), so every regular proper curve is projective
as well: it is projective over k in the sense of AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.IsProjectiveOver.

The embedding of the two-chart model by the sections of the pole divisor. If the section
ring of D = (z)_∞ is generated in degree one in every positive degree, L(nD) ⊆ L(D)ⁿ for every
n ≠ 0, the two-chart model built from z, identified with Proj of the section ring, maps to
the projective space Proj (Sym_k L(D)) by the graded lift of the identification of L(D) with
the degree-one part of the section ring.
Instances For
The embedding by the sections of (z)_∞ is the inverse of the identification of the
two-chart model with Proj of the section ring, followed by the morphism of projective spectra
induced by the graded lift Sym_k L((z)_∞) → ⨁ₙ L(n (z)_∞).
The two-chart model is a closed subscheme of a projective space: when the section ring of
(z)_∞ is generated in degree one in every positive degree, the embedding by the sections of
(z)_∞ is a closed immersion.
The embedding by the sections of (z)_∞ lies over Spec k: followed by the coefficient
morphism of the projective space, it is the structure morphism of the two-chart model.
The embedding by the sections of (z)_∞ lies over Spec k: followed by the coefficient
morphism of the projective space, it is the structure morphism of the two-chart model.
The two-chart model is projective. Over any field k, the two-chart model built from any
transcendental x is a closed subscheme, over k, of the projective space Proj (Sym_k V) of a
finite-dimensional k-vector space V.
A regular proper curve is projective: if X is a curve over k whose codimension-one
local rings are discrete valuation rings, then X is a closed subscheme, over k, of the
projective space Proj (Sym_k V) of a finite-dimensional k-vector space V. No hypothesis on
the constants of the function field k(X) is needed.
