The Euler characteristic of 𝒪_X(D) and the degree of a line bundle #

Let X be a Noetherian integral scheme over a field k whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings, and whose codimension-one points are closed with finite residue fields over k. Adding a point y to a Weil divisor D changes the Euler characteristic by the residue degree [κ(y) : k] (SchemeWeilDivisor.eulerCharBelow_sheaf_add_ofPoint). Inducting over the divisor gives

χ(𝒪_X(D)) = deg D + χ(𝒪_X),

where deg D = Σ_y D(y) [κ(y) : k] is SchemeWeilDivisor.relativeDegree (X ↘ Spec k) and χ(M) = dim H⁰(X, M) - dim H¹(X, M). The same induction shows that whether Hⁱ(X, 𝒪_X(D)) is finite-dimensional does not depend on D, so the only finiteness input needed is that of the cohomology of 𝒪_X itself.

On a proper curve over k, H⁰ is always finite-dimensional (SchemeWeilDivisor.finiteDimensional_cohomology_zero_sheaf) and every line bundle is some 𝒪_X(D) (SchemeWeilDivisor.exists_nonempty_iso_sheaf). As soon as H¹(X, 𝒪_X) is finite-dimensional, the Euler-characteristic degree χ(L) - χ(𝒪_X) of a line bundle therefore agrees with the degree of any divisor of L, and is additive under tensor product.

Finite-dimensionality of Hⁱ(X, 𝒪_X(D)) does not depend on D. If every codimension-one point of X is closed with finite residue field over k, then Hⁱ(X, 𝒪_X(D)) is finite-dimensional exactly when Hⁱ(X, 𝒪_X(E)) is.

χ(𝒪_X(D)) = deg D + χ(𝒪_X(0)). Let X be a Noetherian integral scheme over a field k whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings and whose codimension-one points are closed with finite residue fields over k. If H⁰(X, 𝒪_X(0)) and H¹(X, 𝒪_X(0)) are finite-dimensional, then for every Weil divisor D

χ(𝒪_X(D)) = Σ_y D(y) [κ(y) : k] + χ(𝒪_X(0)),

where χ(M) = dim H⁰(X, M) - dim H¹(X, M).

On a curve, 𝒪_X(0) is the trivial line bundle 𝒪_X.

    H¹(X, 𝒪_X(D)) is finite-dimensional once H¹(X, 𝒪_X) is. On a proper integral curve over a field k whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings, if H¹(X, 𝒪_X) is finite-dimensional over k, then so is H¹(X, 𝒪_X(D)) for every Weil divisor D.

    χ(𝒪_X(D)) = deg D + χ(𝒪_X). On a proper integral curve over a field k whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings, if H¹(X, 𝒪_X) is finite-dimensional over k, then for every Weil divisor D

    χ(𝒪_X(D)) = Σ_y D(y) [κ(y) : k] + χ(𝒪_X),

    where χ(M) = dim H⁰(X, M) - dim H¹(X, M).

    The degree is a linear-equivalence invariant. On a proper integral curve over k whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings, with H¹(X, 𝒪_X) finite-dimensional, linearly equivalent Weil divisors have the same degree: their sheaves are isomorphic, so their Euler characteristics agree.

    A principal divisor has degree zero. On a proper integral curve over k whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings, with H¹(X, 𝒪_X) finite-dimensional, the divisor of a nonzero rational function has degree zero.

    H¹ of a line bundle on a proper curve is finite-dimensional once H¹(X, 𝒪_X) is. On a proper integral curve over a field k whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings, if H¹(X, 𝒪_X) is finite-dimensional over k, then so is H¹(X, L) for every line bundle L.

    The Euler-characteristic degree of 𝒪_X(D) is deg D. On a proper integral curve over a field k whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings, with H¹(X, 𝒪_X) finite-dimensional over k, a line bundle L ≅ 𝒪_X(D) has χ(L) - χ(𝒪_X) = Σ_y D(y) [κ(y) : k].

    The Euler-characteristic degree is additive under tensor product, on a proper integral curve over k whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings and whose H¹(X, 𝒪_X) is finite-dimensional.
