The ideal sheaf of a rational point #

On an integral regular curve, the ideal sheaf of a closed field-valued point is canonically isomorphic to the divisor sheaf 𝒪_X(-x). The comparison identifies both inclusions into the sheaf of rational functions. It therefore connects points presented as closed immersions with points presented as Weil divisors, without choosing a local parameter.

For a rational point on a proper curve, the ideal line bundle has Euler-characteristic degree -1. Its dual is the degree-one line bundle used by the Abel map. The sheaf comparison needs only a closed immersion from a field spectrum and dimension at most one; the degree calculation additionally uses a section of the structure morphism and finite-dimensional H¹(X, 𝒪_X).

The ideal sheaf of a closed field-valued point on a regular integral curve is 𝒪_X(-x). The comparison respects the embeddings into rational functions (kerSheafIsoNegPoint_hom_ι). The dimension bound is only needed to recover regular functions from rational sections.

    On a connected smooth proper curve, the ideal line bundle of a rational point has degree -1. The geometric hypotheses supply discrete valuation stalks and finite-dimensional cohomology, without a perfect-field assumption.

    The dual of the ideal line bundle of a rational point has degree one on a connected smooth proper curve. This is the class 𝒪_X(x) used by the Abel map.
