The relative spectrum of a symmetric algebra #

For a quasicoherent sheaf F on a scheme X, the relative spectrum Spec_X (Sym F) of its symmetric algebra is the scheme over X that represents 𝒪-linear functionals on F (Stacks Project, Tag 01M1, and EGA II, §1.7). For a scheme q : T ⟶ X, morphisms T ⟶ Spec_X (Sym F) over X correspond to

The first is the universal property of relative Spec, relativeSpecHomIso, followed by the universal property of the symmetric algebra as the free commutative algebra, symmetricAlgebraHomEquiv; the second follows from the first by the adjunction between pullback and pushforward of modules. This is the contravariant linear scheme 𝕍(F) of a quasicoherent sheaf; for a finite locally free E, the total space of the vector bundle E is the relative spectrum of the symmetric algebra of the dual of E.

The relative spectrum of a symmetric algebra commutes with base change: for f : Y ⟶ X, Spec_Y (Sym (f^* F)) is the fibre product Y ×_X Spec_X (Sym F), naturally in F (relativeSpecSymmetricAlgebraBaseChangeIso). This is base change of relative Spec, relativeSpecBaseChangeIso, applied to the identification f^* (Sym F) ≅ Sym (f^* F) (pullbackSymmetricAlgebraIso). On points, the projection Spec_Y (Sym (f^* F)) ⟶ Spec_X (Sym F) (relativeSpecSymmetricAlgebraPullbackFst) sends a point over q : T ⟶ Y with linear functional q^* f^* F ⟶ 𝒪_T to the point over q ≫ f with the same functional on (q ≫ f)^* F ≅ q^* f^* F (relativeSpecSymmetricAlgebraPullbackHomEquiv_map_comp_relativeSpecSymmetricAlgebraPullbackFst).

The universal property of the relative spectrum of a symmetric algebra. For a quasicoherent sheaf F on X and a scheme q : T ⟶ X over X, morphisms T ⟶ Spec_X (Sym F) over X correspond to morphisms of 𝒪_X-modules F ⟶ q_* 𝒪_T.

Instances For

    The algebra map Sym F ⟶ q_* 𝒪_T of a point t : T ⟶ Spec_X (Sym F) over X, by which regular functions are pulled back along t, is the algebra map extending the module map F ⟶ q_* 𝒪_T of t.

    The functor-of-points universal property of Spec_X (Sym F), natural in the quasicoherent sheaf F and in the scheme T over X: morphisms T ⟶ Spec_X (Sym F) over X correspond to morphisms of 𝒪_X-modules F ⟶ q_* 𝒪_T. Its components are relativeSpecSymmetricAlgebraHomEquiv.

    Instances For

      Spec_X (Sym F) represents linear functionals. For a quasicoherent sheaf F on X and a scheme q : T ⟶ X over X, morphisms T ⟶ Spec_X (Sym F) over X correspond to morphisms of 𝒪_T-modules q^* F ⟶ 𝒪_T. It is relativeSpecSymmetricAlgebraHomEquiv followed by the adjunction between pullback and pushforward of modules.

      Instances For

        Base change of the relative spectrum of a symmetric algebra. For a morphism of schemes f : Y ⟶ X and a quasicoherent sheaf F on X, the relative spectrum Spec_Y (Sym (f^* F)) is the base change Y ×_X Spec_X (Sym F), as affine schemes over Y and naturally in F. It is relative Spec of the identification f^* (Sym F) ≅ Sym (f^* F) (pullbackSymmetricAlgebraIso), followed by the base-change isomorphism relativeSpecBaseChangeIso of relative Spec.

        Instances For

          The projection Spec_Y (Sym (f^* F)) ⟶ Spec_X (Sym F) from the base change, as a morphism of schemes over X: relative Spec of pullbackSymmetricAlgebraIso, followed by the projection relativeSpecPullbackFst of base change of relative Spec. Under relativeSpecSymmetricAlgebraBaseChangeIso it is the first projection of the fibre product Y ×_X Spec_X (Sym F) (relativeSpecSymmetricAlgebraBaseChangeIso_hom_app_left_fst).

          Instances For

            Base change of Spec_X (Sym F) on points, as module maps. For a scheme q : T ⟶ Y over Y and a morphism t : T ⟶ Spec_Y (Sym (f^* F)) over Y, the module map F ⟶ (q ≫ f)_* 𝒪_T of the composite of t with the projection to Spec_X (Sym F) is the transpose along f of the module map f^* F ⟶ q_* 𝒪_T of t, followed by the identification f_* q_* ≅ (q ≫ f)_*.

            Base change of Spec_X (Sym F) on points, as linear functionals. For a scheme q : T ⟶ Y over Y and a morphism t : T ⟶ Spec_Y (Sym (f^* F)) over Y, the linear functional (q ≫ f)^* F ⟶ 𝒪_T of the composite of t with the projection to Spec_X (Sym F) is the linear functional q^* f^* F ⟶ 𝒪_T of t, through the composition isomorphism of pullback.
