TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.WeilDivisor.Scheme.LinearEquivalence

Isomorphic divisor sheaves come from linearly equivalent divisors #

TauCeti/AlgebraicGeometry/WeilDivisor/Scheme/Sheaf.lean attaches to a Weil divisor D on an integral scheme the subsheaf 𝒪_X(D) of the sheaf 𝒦_X of rational functions, and shows in SchemeWeilDivisor.nonempty_iso_sheaf_of_linearlyEquivalent that linearly equivalent divisors have isomorphic sheaves. This file proves the converse for locally principal divisors: the isomorphism class of 𝒪_X(D) determines the class of D in the divisor class group.

The mechanism is that an 𝒪_X-linear map from 𝒪_X(D) to 𝒦_X is multiplication by a rational function. A local equation for D near the generic point exhibits 𝒪_X(D) as generated there by one rational function, and 𝒦_X is the constant sheaf with value K(X), so the multiplier read off near the generic point already computes the map over every open subset. An isomorphism 𝒪_X(D) ≅ 𝒪_X(E) is therefore multiplication by a unit g of K(X), and comparing the local equations of D - div g and of E at each codimension-one point gives E = D - div g.

Main declarations #

On a curve every Weil divisor is locally principal, so this makes the comparison map SchemeWeilDivisor.classGroupToLineBundleClass of TauCeti/AlgebraicGeometry/WeilDivisor/Scheme/LineBundle.lean injective: that is the injectivity half of Cl(X) ≅ Pic X.

The statement is Hartshorne, Algebraic Geometry, II, Proposition 6.13; the argument given here is the standard one, run through the constant sheaf 𝒦_X rather than through stalks at the generic point. The proofs reuse the divisor sheaf and its multiplication isomorphisms from TauCeti/AlgebraicGeometry/WeilDivisor/Scheme/Sheaf.lean, the local equations of TauCeti/AlgebraicGeometry/WeilDivisor/Scheme/LocallyPrincipal.lean, and Mathlib's TopCat.Presheaf.exists_le_germ_eq and AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.ord.

The inverse of a local equation for D on U is a section of 𝒪_X(D) over U: its order at a codimension-one point of U is exactly -D.

An 𝒪_X-linear map from 𝒪_X(D) to the rational functions is multiplication by a rational function. A local equation for D near the generic point trivializes 𝒪_X(D) there, and the resulting multiplier is independent of the open subset because 𝒦_X is the constant sheaf.

Isomorphic divisor sheaves come from linearly equivalent divisors. This is the converse of SchemeWeilDivisor.nonempty_iso_sheaf_of_linearlyEquivalent.
