Graphs of points as relative effective Cartier divisors #

Let f : X ⟶ S be a separated morphism of schemes. A T-point x : T ⟶ X of X over S has a graph Γₓ : T ⟶ X_T = T ×_S X (TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.graphSection), a section of the projection X_T ⟶ T and hence a closed immersion. Its ideal sheaf commutes with base change along morphisms T' ⟶ T over S. When f is moreover smooth of relative dimension one, the graph is a relative effective Cartier divisor on X_T over T (Scheme.Hom.isRelativeEffectiveCartier_ker_of_smoothOfRelativeDimension).

Together these make the graph a natural transformation graphDivisor from the functor of points T ↦ Hom_S(T, X) of X to the functor Div_{X/S} of relative effective Cartier divisors. It is injective at every T, since a point is determined by its graph, and a section of a separated morphism by its ideal sheaf. Composed with the Abel map D ↦ 𝒪(D) it gives the degree-one Abel map x ↦ 𝒪(Γₓ) into the relative Picard presheaf, from which TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.abelJacobiMap is built.

The ideal sheaf of a graph commutes with base change. For a separated morphism f, the ideal sheaf of the graph of the base change φ ≫ x of a T-point x along φ : T' ⟶ T is the inverse image of the ideal sheaf of the graph of x along T' ×_S X ⟶ T ×_S X.

@[simp]

A point is determined by the ideal sheaf of its graph: for a separated f, two T-points of X over S are equal exactly when their graphs have the same ideal sheaf.

The graph of a T-point of a separated morphism which is smooth of relative dimension one is a relative effective Cartier divisor on X_T over T.

The graph divisor: for a separated morphism f : X ⟶ S which is smooth of relative dimension one, the natural transformation from the functor of points T ↦ Hom_S(T, X) of X to the functor Div_{X/S} of relative effective Cartier divisors, sending a T-point x to its graph Γₓ ⊆ X_T.

Instances For

    Distinct points have distinct graph divisors: for every scheme T over S, the graph divisor is injective on T-points.
