Pullback of divisors on Riemann surfaces #

A finite holomorphic map f : X → Y pulls a divisor on Y back to X by multiplying the coefficient at f x by the local multiplicity of f at x. The resulting function on X has finite support because f has finite fibres. This file packages the construction as the additive homomorphism TauCeti.RiemannSurface.divisorPullback on the existing finite formal sums TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.WeilDivisor.

Pullback is contravariantly functorial. On a point divisor it is the sum of the points in the fibre, weighted by their local multiplicities, and therefore its divisor degree is the analytic degree of the map. More generally, pullback multiplies divisor degree by the degree of the finite holomorphic map. These formulas are the divisor-theoretic form of counting a fibre with multiplicity and are used to construct ramification divisors.

    The coefficient of a pulled-back divisor is the coefficient at the image point multiplied by the local multiplicity.

    Pulling back a point divisor gives the fibre, with each point weighted by its local multiplicity.

    The support of a pulled-back divisor is the preimage of the original support.
