| If $A \subseteq k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ is a subset and $I$ is the ideal generated | |||
| by $A$, then | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}(A) = \mathcal{V}(I) | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| Let $Z \subseteq k^{n}$ be a subset. Define the ideal in $k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{I}(Z) \coloneqq \{ P \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n] \mid \forall x \in Z\colon P(x) = 0\} | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| Since $k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ is a Noetherian ring, all ideals are | |||
| finitely generated. For $I \subseteq k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ there | |||
| exist polynomials $P_1, \ldots, P_m \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ such that | |||
| $I = (P_1, \ldots, P_m)$ and | |||

| \mathcal{V}(I) = \mathcal{V}(P_1, \ldots, P_m) = \mathcal{V}(P_1) \cap \ldots \cap \mathcal{V}(P_m) | |||

| \section{The Zariski topology} | |||
| The algebraic subsets of $k^{n}$ can be used to define a topology on $k^{n}$. | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| The algebraic subsets of $k^{n}$ are exactly the closed sets of a topology | |||
| on $k^{n}$. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| $\emptyset = \mathcal{V}(1)$ and $k^{n} = \mathcal{V}(0)$. The rest follows from | |||
| \ref{lemma:union-of-alg-sets} | |||
| and \ref{lemma:intersection-of-alg-sets}. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| The topology on $k^{n}$ where the closed sets are exactly the | |||
| algebraic subsets of $k^{n}$, is called the \emph{Zariski topology}. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{lemma} | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item Let $Z \subseteq k^{n}$ be a subset. Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| \overline{Z} = \mathcal{V}(\mathcal{I}(Z)) | |||
| .\] | |||
| \item Let $Z \subseteq k^{n}$ be a subset. Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| \sqrt{\mathcal{I}(Z)} = \mathcal{I}(Z) | |||
| .\] | |||
| \item Let $I \subseteq k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be an ideal. Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}(I) = \mathcal{V}(\sqrt{I}) | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item Let $V = \mathcal{V}(I)$ be a Zariski-closed set such that | |||
| $Z \subseteq V$. Then $\mathcal{I}(Z) \supseteq \mathcal{I}(V)$. | |||
| But $\mathcal{I}(V) = \mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(I)) \supseteq I$, | |||
| so $\mathcal{V}(\mathcal{I}(Z)) \subseteq \mathcal{V}(I) = V$. | |||
| Thus | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}(\mathcal{I}(Z)) \subseteq \bigcap_{V \text{ closed}, Z \subseteq V} V | |||
| = \overline{Z} | |||
| .\] Since $\mathcal{V}(I(Z))$ is closed, the claim follows. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| For ideals $I, J \subseteq k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ we have | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}(I) \cup \mathcal{V}(J) = \mathcal{V}(IJ) = \mathcal{V}(I \cap J) | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| $\sqrt{I \cap J} = \sqrt{IJ}$ | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| The Zariski topology turns $k^{n}$ into a Noetherian topological space: If | |||
| $(F_n)_{n \in N}$ is a decreasing sequence of closed sets, then | |||
| $(F_n)_{n \in \N}$ is stationary. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $V_1 \supseteq V_2 \supseteq \ldots$ be a decreasing sequence of closed sets. | |||
| Then $\mathcal{I}(V_1) \subseteq \mathcal{I}(V_2) \subseteq \ldots$ | |||
| is an increasing sequence of ideals in $k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$. As | |||
| $k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ is Noetherian, this sequence is stationary. Thus | |||
| there exists $n_0 \in \N$ such that $\forall n \ge n_0$, | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(V_n) = \mathcal{I}(V_{n_0})$. Therefore, | |||
| \[ | |||
| V_n = \mathcal{V}(\mathcal{I}(V_n)) = \mathcal{V}(\mathcal{I}(V_{n_0})) = V_{n_0} | |||
| \] for $n \ge n_0$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| Let $P \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$. The subset | |||
| \[ | |||
| D_{k^{n}}(P) \coloneqq k^{n} \setminus \mathcal{V}(P) | |||
| \] is called a \emph{standard} or \emph{principal open set} of $k^{n}$. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| Since a Zariski-closed subset of $k^{n}$ is an intersection of finitely many | |||
| $\mathcal{V}(P_i)$, a Zariski-open subset of $k^{n}$ is a union of finitely many | |||
| standard open sets. Thus the standard open sets form a basis for the Zariski topology | |||
| of $k^{n}$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{satz}[] | |||
| The affine space $k^{n}$ is quasi-compact in the Zariski topology. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $k^{n} = \bigcup_{i \in J} U_i$ where $U_i$ is open. Since the standard opens form a basis | |||
| of the Zariski topology, we can assume $U_i = D(P_i)$ with $P_i \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$. | |||
| Then | |||
| $\mathcal{V}((P_i)_{i \in I}) = \bigcap_{i \in J} \mathcal{V}(P_i) = \emptyset$. Since | |||
| $k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ is Noetherian, we | |||
| can choose finitely many generators $P_{i_1}, \ldots, P_{i_m}$ such that | |||
| $((P_i)_{i \in J}) = (P_{i_1}, \ldots, P_{i_m})$. Thus | |||
| \[ | |||
| \bigcap_{j=1}^{m} \mathcal{V}(P_{i_j}) = \mathcal{V}(P_{i_1}, \ldots, P_{i_m}) | |||
| = \mathcal{V}((P_i)_{i \in J}) = \emptyset | |||
| .\] By passing to complements in $k^{n}$, we get | |||
| \[ | |||
| \bigcup_{j=1}^{m} D(P_{i_j}) = k^{n} | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{satz}[] | |||
| Let $P \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ and let $f_P \colon k^{n} \to k$ be the associated | |||
| function on $k^{n}$. Then $f_p$ is continuous with respect to the Zariski topology on $k^{n}$ | |||
| and $k$. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| The closed proper subsets of $k$ are finite subsets $F = \{t_1, \ldots, t_s\} \subseteq k$. | |||
| The pre-image of a singleton | |||
| $\{t\} \subseteq k$ is | |||
| \[ | |||
| f_P^{-1}(\{t\}) = \{x \in k^{n} \mid P(x) - t = 0\} | |||
| = \mathcal{V}(P - t) | |||
| \] | |||
| which is a closed subset of $k^{n}$. Thus | |||
| \[ | |||
| f_P^{-1}(F) = \bigcup_{i=1}^{s} \mathcal{V}(P - t_i) | |||
| \] is closed. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| If $k$ is infinite, $\mathcal{I}(k^{n}) = \{0\} $. | |||
| \label{satz:k-infinite-everywhere-vanish} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| By induction: for $n = 1$, this follows because a non-zero polynomial only has a finite number | |||
| of roots. Let $n \ge 1$ and $P \in \mathcal{I}(k^{n})$. Thus $P(x) = 0$ $\forall x \in k^{n}$. | |||
| Let | |||
| \[ | |||
| P = \sum_{i=0}^{m} P_i(X_1, \ldots, X_{n-1}) X_n^{i} | |||
| \] for $P_i \in k[X_1, \ldots, X_{n-1}]$. | |||
| Fix some $x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1} \in k$. Then $P(x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1}, y) \in k[y]$ has an | |||
| infinite number | |||
| of roots. Thus $P(x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1}, y) = 0$ for all $x_2, \ldots, x_n$ by the case $n=1$, | |||
| implying that $P_i(x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1}) = 0$ for all $i$. | |||
| Since this holds for all $(x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1}) \in k^{n-1}$, $P_i = 0$ by induction | |||
| for all $i$. | |||

| \begin{aufgabe}[] | |||
| Let $f\colon X \to Y$ be a morphism of algebraic pre-varieties. Assume | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $Y$ is a variety. | |||
| \item There exists an open covering $(Y_i)_{i \in I}$ of $Y$ such that the open subset | |||

| \end{aufgabe} | |||
| \begin{aufgabe}[] | |||
| Let $X$ be a topological space. Assume that there exists a covering $(X_i)_{i \in I}$ of | |||
| $X$ by irreducible open subsets such that for all $(i,j)$, $(X_i \cap X_j) \neq \emptyset$. | |||
| Show that $X$ is irreducible. | |||
| \end{aufgabe} | |||
| \subsection{Grassmann varieties} | |||
| Let $0 \le p \le n$ be integers. The Grassmannian $\text{Gr}(p, n)$ is the set | |||
| of $p$-dimensional linear subspaces of $k^{n}$. In order to endow this set with a structure | |||
| of algebraic prevariety, there are various possibilities: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item To a $p$-dimensional linear subspace $E \subseteq k^{n}$, we associate the line | |||
| $\Lambda^{p} E \subseteq \Lambda^{p} k^{n} \simeq k^{\binom{n}{p}}$, which | |||
| defines a point in the projective space $k\mathbb{P}^{\binom{n}{p}-1}$. | |||
| Claim: The map $\text{Gr}(p, n) \to k\mathbb{P}^{\binom{n}{p} -1}$ | |||
| is an injective map whose image is a Zariski-closed subset of $k\mathbb{P}^{\binom{n}{p} -1}$. | |||
| This identifies $\text{Gr}(n, p)$ canonically to a projective variety. In particular | |||
| one obtains in this way a structure of \emph{algebraic variety} | |||
| on $\text{Gr}(p, n)$. | |||
| \item For the second approach, recall that $\text{GL}(n, k)$ acts transitively on | |||
| $\text{Gr}(p, n)$. But the identification of $k^{n}$ to $(k^{n})^{*}$ | |||
| via the canonical basis of $k^{n}$ enables one to define, for all $E \in \text{Gr}(p, n)$, | |||
| a canonical complement $E^{\perp} \in \text{Gr}(n-p, n)$, i.e. | |||
| an $(n-p)$-dimensional linear subspace such that $E \oplus E^{\perp} = k^{n}$. | |||
| So the stabiliser of $E \in \text{Gr}(p, n)$ for the action of | |||
| $\text{GL}(n, k)$ is conjugate to the subgroup | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \text{P}(p, n) \coloneqq | |||
| \left\{ g \in \text{GL}(n, k) \middle \vert | |||
| \begin{array}{l} | |||
| g = \begin{pmatrix} A & B \\ 0 & C \end{pmatrix} \\ | |||
| \text{with } A \in \text{GL}(p, k), B \in \text{Mat}(p \times (n-p), k),\\ | |||
| \text{and } C \in \text{GL}(n-p, k) | |||
| \end{array} | |||
| \right\} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| This shows that the Grassmannian $\text{Gr}(p, n)$ is a homogeneous space | |||
| under $\text{GL}(n, k)$ and that | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \text{Gr}(p, n) \simeq \text{GL}(n, k) / \text{P}(p, n) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| which is useful if one knows that, given an affine algebraic group $G$ and | |||
| a closed subgroup $H$, the homogeneous space $G / H$ is an algebraic variety. We | |||
| will come back to this later on. | |||
| \item The third uses the gluing theorem. In particular, it also constructs | |||
| a standard atlas on $\text{Gr}(p, n)$, like the one we had on | |||
| $k\mathbb{P}^{n-1} = \text{Gr}(1, n)$. | |||
| The idea is that, in order to determine a $p$-dimensional subspace of $k^{n}$, | |||
| it suffices to give a basis of that subspace, which is a family of $p$ vectors | |||
| in $k^{n}$. Geometrically, this means that the subspace in question is seen | |||
| as the graph of a linear map $A\colon k^{p} \to k^{n}$. | |||
| Take $E \in \text{Gr}(p, n)$ and let $(v_1, \ldots, v_p)$ be a basis of $E$ over $k$. | |||
| Let $M$ be the $(n \times p)$-matrix representing the coordinates | |||
| of $(v_1, \ldots, v_p)$ in the canonical basis of $k^{n}$. Since $M$ has rank $p$, | |||
| there exists a $(p \times p)$-submatrix of $M$ with non-zero determinant: We set | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| J &\coloneqq \{ \text{indices } j_1 < \ldots < j_p \text{ of the rows of that submatrix}\} \\ | |||
| M_J &\coloneqq \text{the submatrix in question} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Note that if $M' \in \text{Mat}(n \times p, k)$ corresponds to a basis | |||
| $(v_1', \ldots, v_p')$, there exists a matrix $g \in \text{GL}(p, k)$ such that | |||
| $M' = Mg$. But then $(M')_J = (Mg)_J = M_J g$, so | |||
| \[ | |||
| \text{det }(M')_J = \text{det } (M_J g) = \text{det}(M_J) \text{det}(g) | |||
| ,\] | |||
| which is non-zero if and only if $\text{det}(M_J)$ is non-zero. As a consequence, | |||
| given a subset $J \subseteq \{1, \ldots, n\} $ of cardinal $p$, there is a well-defined | |||
| subset | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| G_J \coloneqq \left\{ E \in \text{G}(p, n) \mid | |||
| \exists M \in \text{Mat}(n \times p, k), E = \text{im }M \text{ and } | |||
| \text{det}(M_J) \neq 0 | |||
| \right\} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Moreover, if $M$ satisfies the conditions $E = \text{im }M$ and | |||
| $\text{det}(M_J) \neq 0$, then | |||
| $(M M_J^{-1})_J = I_p$ and $\text{im}(MM^{-1}_J) = \text{im }M = E$. | |||
| In fact, if $E \in G_J$, there is a unique matrix $N \in \text{Mat}(n \times p, k)$, | |||
| such that $E = \text{im }N$ and $N_J = I_p$, for if $N_1, N_2$ are two | |||
| such matrices, the columns of $N_2$ are linear combinations of those of $N_1$, | |||
| thus $\exists g \in \text{GL}(p, k)$ such that $N_2 = N_1g$. But then | |||
| \[ | |||
| I_p = (N_2)_J = (N_1g)_J = (N_1)_J g = g | |||
| .\] | |||
| So, there is a well-defined map | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \hat{\varphi}_J: G_J &\longrightarrow \operatorname{Hom}(k^{J}, k^{n}) \\ | |||
| E &\longmapsto N \text{ such that } E = \text{im }N \text{ and } N_J = I_p | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| whose image can be identified to the subspace | |||
| $\text{Hom}(k^{J}, k^{J^{c}})$, where $J^{c}$ is the complement of $J$ in | |||
| $\{1, \ldots, n\} $, via the map $N \mapsto N_{J^{c}}$. Conversely, a | |||
| linear map $A \in \text{Hom}(k^{J}, k^{J^{c}})$ determines a rank $p$ map | |||
| $N \in \text{Hom}(k^{J}, k^{n})$ such that $N_J = I_p$ via the formula | |||
| $N(x) = x + Ax$. | |||
| Geometrically, this means that the $p$-dimensional subspace | |||
| $\text{im }N \subseteq k^{n}$ is equal to the graph of $A$. | |||
| This also means that we can think of $G_J$ as the set | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \{E \in \text{Gr}(p, n) \mid E \cap k^{J^{c}} = \{0_{k^{n}}\} \} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| The point is that $\text{im } \hat{\varphi}_J = \text{Hom}(k^{J}, k^{J^{c}})$ | |||
| can be canonically identified with the affine space $k^{p(n-p)}$ and that we | |||
| have a bijection | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \varphi_J \colon G_J &\xlongrightarrow{\simeq} \text{Hom}(k^{J}, k^{J^{c}}) | |||
| \simeq k^{p(n-p)} \\ | |||
| E &\longmapsto A \mid \text{gr}(A) = E \\ | |||
| \text{gr}(A) &\longmapsfrom A | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Note that the matrix $N \in \text{Mat}(n \times p, k)$ | |||
| such that $\text{im }N = E$ and $N_J = I_p$ | |||
| is row-equivalent to $\begin{pmatrix} I_p \\ A \end{pmatrix} $ | |||
| with $A \in \text{Mat}((n-p) \times p, k)$. | |||
| Now, if $E \in G_{J_1} \cap G_{J_2}$, then, for all | |||
| $M \in \text{Mat}(p \times n, k)$ such that $\text{im } M = E$, | |||
| $\hat{\varphi}_{J_1}(E) = M M_{J_1}^{-1}$ and | |||
| $\hat{\varphi}_{J_2}(E) = M M_{J_2}^{-1}$. So | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \text{im } \hat{\varphi}_{J_1} | |||
| &= \left\{ N \in \text{Hom}(k^{J_1}, k^{n}) \mid N_{J_1} = I_p, | |||
| \text{im } N_{J_1} = E \text{ and } | |||
| \text{det}(N_{J_2}) \neq 0 | |||
| \right\} \\ | |||
| &= \{ N \in \text{im } \hat{\varphi}_{J_1} \mid \text{det}(N_{J_2}) \neq 0\} | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| which is open in $\text{im } \hat{\varphi}_{J_1} \simeq \text{im } \varphi_{J_1}$. | |||
| Moreover, for all $N \in \text{im }\hat{\varphi}_{J_1}$, | |||
| \[ | |||
| \hat{\varphi}_{J_2} \circ \hat{\varphi}_{J_1}^{-1}(N) = N N_{J_2}^{-1} | |||
| \] and, by Cramer's formulae, this is a regular function | |||
| on $\text{im }\hat{\varphi}_{J_1}$. | |||
| We have therefore constructed a covering | |||
| \[ | |||
| \text{Gr}(p, n) = \bigcup_{J \subseteq \{1, \ldots, n\}, \# J = p } G_J | |||
| \] | |||
| of the Grassmannian $\text{Gr}(p, n)$ by subsets $G_J$ | |||
| that can be identified to the affine variety $k^{p(n-p)}$ via bijective | |||
| maps $\varphi_J\colon G_j \to k^{p(n-p)}$ such that, | |||
| for all $(J_1, J_2)$, $\varphi_{J_1}(G_{J_1} \cap G_{J_2})$ is open | |||
| in $k^{p(n-p)}$ and the map | |||
| $\varphi_{J_2} \circ \varphi_{J_1}^{-1}\colon \varphi_{J_1}(G_{J_1} \cap G_{J_2}) \to \varphi_{J_2}(G_{J_1} \cap G_{J_2})$ | |||
| is a morphism of affine varieties. By the gluing theorem, | |||
| this endows $\text{Gr}(p, n)$ with a structure of algebraic prevariety. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \subsection{Vector bundles} | |||
| \begin{definition}[] | |||
| A \emph{vector bundle} is a triple | |||
| $(E, X, \pi)$ consisting of two algebraic varieties $E$ and $X$, and | |||
| a morphism $\pi\colon E \to X$ such that | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item for $x \in X$, $\pi^{-1}(\{x\} )$ is a $k$-vector space. | |||
| \item for $x \in X$, there exists an open neighbourhood $U$ of $x$ | |||
| and an isomorphism of algebraic varieties | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Phi\colon \pi^{-1}(U) \xlongrightarrow{\simeq} U \times \pi^{-1}(\{x\} ) | |||
| \] such that | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(a)] | |||
| \item $\text{pr}_1 \circ \Phi = \pi |_{\pi^{-1}(U)}$ and | |||
| \item for $y \in U$, $\Phi|_{\pi^{-1}(\{y\})}\colon \pi^{-1}(\{y\}) | |||
| \to \{y\} \times \pi^{-1}(\{x\})$ is | |||
| an isomorphism of $k$-vector spaces. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| A morphism of vector bundles is a morphism of algebraic varieties $f\colon E_1 \to E_2$ | |||
| such that $\pi_2 \circ f = \pi_1$ and $f$ is $k$-linear in the fibres. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| In practice, one often proves that a variety $E$ is a vector bundle over $X$ by | |||
| finding a morphism $\pi\colon E \to X$ and an open covering | |||
| \[ | |||
| X = \bigcup_{i \in I} U_i | |||
| \] such that $E|_{U_i} \coloneqq \pi^{-1}(U_i)$ is isomorphic to | |||
| $U_i \times k^{n_i}$ for some integer $n_i$, in such a way that, on $U_i \cap U_j$, | |||
| the morphism | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Phi_j \circ \Phi_i^{-1}\Big|_{\Phi_i(\pi^{-1}(U_i \cap U_j))}\colon | |||
| (U_i \cap U_j) \times k^{n_i} \longrightarrow | |||
| (U_i \cap U_j) \times k^{n_j} | |||
| \] is an isomorphism of algebraic varieties such that the following diagram commutes | |||
| and $\Phi_j \circ \Phi_i^{-1}$ is linear fibrewise: | |||
| \[ | |||
| \begin{tikzcd} | |||
| (U_i \cap U_j) \times k^{n_i} \arrow{dr}{\text{pr}_1} \arrow{rr}{\Phi_j \circ \Phi_i^{-1}} | |||
| & & (U_i \cap U_j) \times k^{n_j} \arrow{dl}{\text{pr}_1}\\ | |||
| & U_i \cap U_j & \\ | |||
| \end{tikzcd} | |||
| .\] In particular $k^{n_i} \simeq k^{n_j}$ as $k$-vector spaces, so | |||
| $n_i = n_j$ if $U_i \cap U_j \neq \emptyset$, and | |||
| $\Phi_j \circ \Phi_i^{-1}$ is necessarily of the form | |||
| \[ | |||
| (x, v) \longmapsto (x, g_{ji}(x) \cdot v) | |||
| \] for some morphism of algebraic varieties | |||
| \[ | |||
| g_{ji}\colon U_i \cap U_j \longrightarrow \text{GL}(n, k) | |||
| .\] | |||
| These maps $(g_{ij})_{(i, j) \in I \times I}$ then | |||
| satisfy for $x \in U_i \cap U_j \cap U_l$ | |||
| \[ | |||
| g_{lj}(x) g_{ji}(x) = g_{li}(x) | |||
| \] and for $x \in U_i$, $g_{ii}(x) = \text{I}_n$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| If $\pi\colon E \to X$ is a morphism of algebraic varieties and | |||
| $X$ has an open covering $(U_i)_{i \in I}$ over which $E$ admits | |||
| local trivialisations | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Phi_i \colon E|_{U_i} = \pi^{-1}(U_i) \xlongrightarrow{\simeq} U_i \times k^{n} | |||
| \] | |||
| with $\text{pr}_1 \circ \Phi_i = \pi|_{\pi^{-1}(U_i)}$ | |||
| such that the isomorphisms | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Phi_j \circ \Phi_i^{-1} \colon (U_i \cap U_j) \times k^{n} | |||
| \longrightarrow (U_i \cap U_j) \times k^{n} | |||
| \] are | |||
| linear in the fibres, then for all $x \in X$, $\pi^{-1}(\{x\})$ has | |||
| a well-defined structure of $k$-vector space and the local trivialisations | |||
| $(\Phi_i)_{i \in I}$ are linear in the fibres. In particular, | |||
| $E$ is a vector bundle. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| For $x \in U_i$ and $a, b \in \pi^{-1}(\{x\})$, let | |||
| \[ | |||
| a + \lambda b \coloneqq \Phi_i^{-1}(x, \text{pr}_2 (\Phi_i(a)) + \lambda \text{pr}_2 (\Phi_i(b))) | |||
| .\] | |||
| By using the linearity in the fibres of $\Phi_j \circ \Phi_i^{-1}$, one verifies | |||
| that this does not depend on the choice of $i \in I$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| Assume given an algebraic prevariety $X$ obtained by gluing affine varieties | |||
| $(X_i)_{i \in I}$ along isomorphisms $\varphi_{ji}\colon X_{ij} \xrightarrow{\simeq} X_{ji}$ | |||
| defined on open subsets $X_{ij} \subseteq X_i$, | |||
| such that $X_{ii} = X_i$, $\varphi_{ii} = \text{Id}_{X_i}$ | |||
| %, $\varphi_{ji}(X_{ij})$ is open in $X_{ji}$ | |||
| and | |||
| $\varphi_{lj} \circ \varphi_{ji} = \varphi_{li}$ on $X_{ij} \cap X_{il} \subseteq X_i$. | |||
| Recall that such an $X$ comes equipped with a canonical | |||
| map $p \colon \bigsqcup_{i \in I} \to X$ such that | |||
| $p_i \coloneqq p|_{X_i}\colon X_i \to X$ is an isomorphism onto an affine open subset | |||
| $U_i \coloneqq p_i(X_i) \subseteq X$ and, if we set $\varphi_i = p_i^{-1}$, | |||
| we have $\varphi_j \circ \varphi_i^{-1} = \varphi_{ji}$ | |||
| on $\varphi_i(U_i \cap U_j)$. | |||
| Let us now consider the vector bundle $X_i \times k^{n}$ on each of the affine varieties | |||
| $X_i$ and assume that an isomorphism of algebraic prevarieties of the form | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \Phi_{ji}\colon X_{ij} \times k^{n} &\longrightarrow X_{ji} \times k^{n} \\ | |||
| (x, v) &\longmapsto (\varphi_{ji}(x), h_{ji}(x) \cdot v) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| has been given, where $h_{ij}\colon X_{ij} \to \text{GL}(n, k)$ | |||
| is a morphism of algebraic varieties, in such a way that the following compatibility | |||
| conditions are satisfied: | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \Phi_{ii} = \text{Id}_{X_{ii} \times k^{n}} | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| and, for all $(i, j, l)$ and all $(x, v) \in (X_{ij} \cap X_{il}) \times k^{n}$ | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Phi_{lj} \circ \Phi_{ji}(x, v) = \Phi_{li}(x, v) | |||
| .\] | |||
| Then there is associated to this gluing data an algebraic vector bundle | |||
| $\pi\colon E \to X$, endowed with | |||
| local trivialisations $\Phi_i \colon E|_{U_i} \xrightarrow{\simeq} U_i \times k^{n}$, | |||
| where as earlier $U_i = p(X_i) \subseteq X$, | |||
| in such a way that, for all $(i, j)$ and all $(\xi, v) \in (U_i \cap U_j) \times k^{n}$, | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Phi_j \circ \Phi_i^{-1}(\xi, v) = | |||
| (\xi, g_{ji}(\xi) \cdot v) | |||
| \] where $g_{ji}(x) = h_{ji}(\varphi_i(\xi)) \in \text{GL}(n, k)$, so | |||
| $g_{ii} = \text{I}_n$ on $U_i$, and, for all $(i, j, l)$ and | |||
| all $\xi \in U_i \cap U_j \cap U_l$, | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| g_{lj}(\xi) g_{ji}(\xi) &= h_{lj}(\varphi_j(\xi)) h_{ji}(\varphi_i(\xi)) \\ | |||
| &= h_{lj}(\varphi_{ji}(\varphi_i(\xi))) h_{ji}(\varphi_i(\xi)) \\ | |||
| &= h_{li}(\varphi_i(\xi)) \\ | |||
| &= g_{li}(\xi) | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Indeed, we can simply set | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| E \coloneqq \left( \bigsqcup_{i \in I} X_i \times k^{n} \right) / \sim | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| where $(x, v) \sim (\varphi_{ji}(x), h_{ji}(x) \cdot v)$, and, by the | |||
| gluing theorem, this defines an algebraic prevariety, equipped | |||
| with a morphism $\pi\colon E \to X$ induced | |||
| by the first projection $\text{pr}_1\colon \bigsqcup_{i \in I} (X_i \times k^{n}) | |||
| \to \bigsqcup_{i \in I} X_i$. | |||
| The canonical map $\hat{p}\colon \bigsqcup_{ i \in I} (X_i \times k^{n}) \to E$ | |||
| makes the following diagram commute | |||
| \[ | |||
| \begin{tikzcd} | |||
| \bigsqcup_{i \in I} (X_i \times k^{n}) \arrow{d}{\text{pr}_1} | |||
| \arrow{r}{\hat{p}} & E \arrow{d}{\pi} \\ | |||
| \bigsqcup_{i \in I} X_i \arrow{r}{p} & X \\ | |||
| \end{tikzcd} | |||
| \] | |||
| and it induces an isomorphism of prevarieties | |||
| \[ | |||
| \hat{p}|_{X_i \times k^{n}}\colon X_i \times k^{n} | |||
| \xrightarrow{\simeq} E|_{p(X_i)} | |||
| = \pi^{-1}(p(X_i)) | |||
| \] | |||
| such that $\pi \circ \hat{p}|_{X_i \times k^{n}} = p|_{X_i} \circ \text{pr}_1$. | |||
| Since $p|_{X_i}$ is an isomorphism between $X_i$ and the open subset | |||
| $U_i = p(X_i) \subseteq X$ with inverse $\varphi_i$, the | |||
| isomorphism $\hat{p}|_{X_i \times k^{n}}$ | |||
| induces a local trivialisation | |||

| \section{The tangent cone and the Zariski tangent space} | |||
| \subsection{The tangent cone at a point} | |||
| Let $X \subseteq k^{n}$ be a non-empty Zariski-closed subset. | |||
| Let $P \in k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ be a polynomial. For all $x \in k^{n}$, we have a Taylor expansion | |||
| at $x$: For all $h \in k^{n}$: | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| P(x+h) &= P(x) + P'(x)h + \frac{1}{2} P''(x) (h, h) + \underbrace{\ldots}_{\text{finite number of terms}} \\ | |||
| &= \sum_{d=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{d!} P^{(d)}(x) (\underbrace{h, \ldots, h}_{d \text{ times}}) | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| The term $\frac{1}{d!} P^{(d)}(x)$ is a homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ | |||
| in the coordinates of $h = (h_1, \ldots, h_n)$: | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| P^{(d)}(x) (h, \ldots, h) | |||
| &= \sum_{\alpha \in \N_0^{n}, |\alpha| = d} \frac{d!}{\alpha_1! \cdots \alpha_n!} | |||
| \frac{\partial^{|\alpha|}}{\partial T_1^{\alpha_1} \cdots \partial T_n^{\alpha_n}} P(x) | |||
| h_1^{\alpha_1} \cdots h_n^{\alpha_n} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Also, when $x = 0_{k^{n}}$ and if we write | |||
| \[ | |||
| P = P(0) + \sum_{d=1}^{\infty} Q_d | |||
| \] with $Q_d$ homogeneous of degree $d$, then for all $h = (h_1, \ldots, h_n) \in k^{n}$, we | |||
| have | |||
| \[ | |||
| \frac{1}{d!}P^{(d)}(0) \cdot (h, \ldots, h) = Q_d(h_1, \ldots, h_n) | |||
| .\] | |||
| For all $P \in \mathcal{I}(X) \setminus \{0\} $, we denote by | |||
| $P_x^{*}$ the \emph{initial term} in the Taylor expansion of $P$ at $x$, i.e. | |||
| the term $\frac{1}{d!} P^{(d)}(x) \cdot (h, \ldots, h)$ for the smallest | |||
| $d \ge 1$ such that this is not zero. If $P = 0$, we put $P_x^{*} \coloneqq 0$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| We set $\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*}$ to be the ideal generated | |||
| by $P_x^{*}$ for all $P \in \mathcal{I}(X)$. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| %\begin{satz} | |||
| % The set $\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*}$ is an ideal of $k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$. | |||
| %\end{satz} | |||
| % | |||
| %\begin{proof} | |||
| % By definition, $0 \in \mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*}$. Let $P_x^{*}, Q_x^{*}$ be elements | |||
| % of $\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*}$ coming from $P, Q \in \mathcal{I}(X)$. Then | |||
| % $P_x^{*} - Q_x^{*}$ is of the form $R_x^{*}$ for some $R \in \mathcal{I}(X)$, where | |||
| % $R = 0$, $R = P$, $R = Q$ or $R = P-Q$. Moreover, for $Q \in k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$, | |||
| % we have $P_x^{*} Q = (PQ)_x^{*} \in \mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*}$. | |||
| %\end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| The ideal $\mathcal{I}(X)^{*}$ is finitely generated. However, | |||
| if $\mathcal{I}(X) = (P_1, \ldots, P_m)$, it is not true in general that | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*} = ((P_1)_x^{*}, \ldots, (P_m)_{x}^{*})$. We may need | |||
| to add the initial terms at $x$ of some other polynomials of the | |||
| form $\sum_{k=1}^{m} P_k Q_k \in \mathcal{I}(X)$. | |||
| If $\mathcal{I}(X) = (P)$ is principal though, we have $\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*} | |||
| = (P_x^{*})$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| The \emph{tangent cone} to $X$ at $x$ is the affine algebraic | |||
| set | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{C}_x^{(X)} \coloneqq x + \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*}) | |||
| = \{ x + h \colon h \in \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*})\} | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| The algebraic set $\mathcal{C}_x(X)$ is a cone at $x$: It contains $x$ and | |||
| for all $x + h \in \mathcal{C}_x(X)$ for some $h \in \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*})$, | |||
| we have for all | |||
| $\lambda \in k^{\times}$, | |||
| $\lambda h \in \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*}$), i.e. $x + \lambda h \in | |||
| \mathcal{C}_x(X)$. | |||
| Indeed, $P_x^{*} \in \mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*}$ is either zero or a homogeneous polynomial of | |||
| degree $r \ge 1$. Thus for $h \in k^{n}$ and $\lambda \in k^{\times}$: | |||
| $P_x^{*}(\lambda h) = \lambda^{r} P_x^{*}(h)$ which | |||
| is $0$ if and only if $P_x^{*}(h) = 0$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[] | |||
| Let $k$ be an infinite field and let $P \in k[x,y]$ be an irreducible polynomial | |||
| such that $X \coloneqq \mathcal{V}(P)$ is infinite. Then we know that | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(X) = (P)$. Then we can determine $\mathcal{C}_X(X)$ by computing | |||
| the successive derviatives of $P$ at $x$: In this case | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*} = (P_x^{*})$. For convenience wie will mostly consider examples | |||
| for which $x = 0_{k^2}$. | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $P(x,y) = y^2 - x^{3}$. Then $P^{*}_{(0,0)} = y^2$, so the tangent cone | |||
| at $(0, 0)$ is the algebraic set | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{C}_{(0,0)}(X) = \{ (x,y) \in k^2 \mid y^2 = 0\} | |||
| .\] | |||

| Note that $P_{(1,1)}^{*}(h_1, h_2) = 2h_2 - 3 h_1$, so the tangent cone at | |||
| $(1,1)$ is | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \mathcal{C}_{(1,1)}(X) &= \{ (1 + h_1, 1 + h_2) \mid 2h_2 - 3h_1 = 0\} \\ | |||
| &= \left\{ (x,y) \in k^2 \mid y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{1}{2}\right\} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| \item $P(x,y) = y^2 - x^2(x+1)$. Then $P_{(0,0)}^{*} = y^2 - x^2$ so | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{C}_{(0,0)}(X) = \{ y^2 - x^2 = 0\} | |||
| \] which | |||
| is a union of two lines. | |||

| \end{figure} | |||
| In contrast, $P_{(1,1)}^{*}(h_1, h_2) = 2h_2 - 5h_1$ so | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{C}_{(1,1)}(X) = \left\{ (x,y) \in k^2 \mid y = \frac{5}{2} x - \frac{3}{2}\right\} | |||
| ,\] which is just one line. | |||
| Evidently this is related to the origin being a ,,node`` of the curve of equation | |||
| $y^2 - x^2(x+1) = 0$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item The tangent cone $\mathcal{C}_x(X)$ represents all directions coming out | |||
| of $x$ along which the initial term $P_x^{*}$ | |||
| vanishes, for all $P \in \mathcal{I}(X)$. In that sense, it is the least complicated | |||
| approximation to $X$ around $x$, in terms of the degrees of the polynomials involved. | |||
| \item The notion of tangent cone at a point enables us to define singular points of algebraic | |||
| sets and even distinguish between the type of singularities: | |||
| Let $\mathcal{I}(X) = (P)$. | |||
| When $\text{deg}(P_x^{*}) = 1$, the tangent cone to $X \subseteq k^{n}$ at $x$ | |||
| is just an affine hyperplane, namely $x + \text{ker } P'(x)$, since | |||
| $P_x^{*} = P'(x)$ in this case. The point $x$ is then called \emph{non-singular}. | |||
| When $\text{deg}(P_x^{*}) = 2$, we say that $X$ has a \emph{quadratic singularity} | |||
| at $x$. If $X \subseteq k^2$, a quadratic singularity is called a \emph{double point}. | |||
| In that case, | |||
| $P_x^{*} = \frac{1}{2} P''(x)$ is a quadratic form on $k^2$. If it is non-degenerate, | |||
| then $x$ is called an \emph{ordinary} double point. For instance, | |||
| if $X$ is the nodal cubic of equation $y^2 = x^2(x+1)$, then the origin is | |||
| an ordinary double point (also called a \emph{node}), since | |||
| $\frac{1}{2}P''(0,0)$ is the quadratic form associated to the symmetric matrix | |||
| $\begin{pmatrix} -1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{pmatrix} $. | |||
| But if $X$ is the cuspidal cubic of equation $y^2 = x^{3}$, then | |||
| the origin is \emph{not} an ordinary double point, since | |||
| $\frac{1}{2}P''(0,0)$ corresponds to $\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{pmatrix} $. | |||
| Instead, the origin is a \emph{cusp} in the following sense. We can write | |||
| \[ | |||
| P(x,y) = l(x,y)^2 + Q_3(x,y) + \ldots | |||
| \] with $l(x,y) = \alpha x + \beta y$ a linear form in $(x,y)$, and the double point | |||
| $(0,0)$ is called a cusp if $Q_3(\beta, -\alpha) \neq 0$. This means that | |||
| \[ | |||
| t ^{4}X P(\beta t, - \alpha t) | |||
| \] in $k[t]$. And this is indeed what happens for $P(x,y) = y^2 - x^{3}$, since | |||
| $l(x,y) = y$ and $Q_3(x,y) = -x^{3}$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| One can define the \emph{multiplicity} of a point $(x,y) \in \mathcal{V}_{k^2}(P)$ as | |||
| the smallest integer $r \ge 1$ such that $P^{(r)}(x,y)\neq 0$. | |||
| If $P^{(r)}(x,y) \cdot (h, \ldots, h) = 0 \implies h = 0_{k^2}$, the singularity | |||
| $(x,y)$ is called \emph{ordinary}. If $k$ is algebraically closed and | |||
| $(x,y) = (0,0)$, we can write | |||
| $P^{(r)}(0, 0) = \prod_{i=1}^{m} (\alpha_i x + \beta_i y)^{r_i} $, | |||
| with $r_1 + \ldots + r_m = r$. Then $(0,0)$ is an ordinary singularity of multiplicity $r$ | |||
| iff $r_i = 1$ for all $i$. For instance, $(0,0)$ is an ordinary triple point of the trefoil | |||
| curve $P(x,y) = (x^2 + y^2)^2 + 3x^2 y - y^{3}$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \subsection{The Zariski tangent space at a point} | |||
| Let $X \subseteq k^{n}$ be a Zariski-closed subset and $x \in X$. | |||
| The tangent cone is in general not a linear approximation. To remedy this, one can | |||
| consider the Zariski tangent space to $X$ at a point $x \in X$. | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| The \emph{Zariski tangent space} to $X$ at $x$ is the affine subspace | |||
| \[ | |||
| T_xX \coloneqq x + \bigcap_{P \in \mathcal{I}(X)} \text{ker } P'(x) | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| By translation, $T_xX$ can be canonically identified to the vector space | |||
| $\bigcap_{P \in \mathcal{I}(X)} \text{ker } P'(x) $. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{satz}[] | |||
| View the linear forms | |||
| \[ | |||
| P'(x) \colon h \mapsto P'(x) \cdot h | |||
| \] as homogeneous polynomials of degree $1$ in the coordinates of $h \in k^{n}$ and | |||
| denote by | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{I}(X)_x \coloneqq (P'(x) : P \in \mathcal{I}(X)) | |||
| \] the ideal generated by these polynomials. Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| T_xX = x + \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(\mathcal{I}(X)_x) | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| It suffices to check that | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(\mathcal{I}(X)_x) = \bigcap_{P \in \mathcal{I}(X)} \text{ker } P'(x) | |||
| \] | |||
| which is obvious because the $(P'(x))_{P \in \mathcal{I}(X)}$ generate $\mathcal{I}(X)_x$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| $T_xX \supseteq \mathcal{C}_x(X)$ | |||
| \label{kor:cone-in-tangent-space} | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Since $\mathcal{I}(X)_x \subseteq \mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*}$, one has | |||
| $\mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(\mathcal{I}(X)_x) \supseteq \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(\mathcal{I}(X)_x^{*})$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| If $T_xX = \mathcal{C}_x(X)$, the point $x$ is called \emph{non-singular}. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| If $\mathcal{I}(X) = (P_1, \ldots, P_m)$, then | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(X)_x = (P_1'(x), \ldots, P_m'(x))$ | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| By definition, | |||
| \[ | |||
| (P_1'(x), \ldots, P_m'(x)) \subseteq (P'(x) : P \in \mathcal{I}(X)) = \mathcal{I}(X)_x | |||
| .\] But for $P \in \mathcal{I}(X)$, there exist $Q_1, \ldots, Q_m \in k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ such | |||
| that $P = \sum_{i=1}^{m} Q_i P_i$, so | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| P'(x) &= \sum_{i=1}^{m} (Q_i P_i)'(x) \\ | |||
| &= \sum_{i=1}^{m} (Q_i'(x) \underbrace{P_i(x)}_{= 0} + \overbrace{Q_i(x)}^{\in k} | |||
| P_i'(x)) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| since $x \in X$. This proves that $P'(x)$ is in fact a linear combination of the linear | |||
| forms $(P_i'(x))_{1 \le i \le m}$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| If $\mathcal{I}(X) = (P_1, \ldots, P_m)$, then | |||
| $T_xX = x + \bigcap_{i=1}^{m} \operatorname{ker } P_i'(x)$. | |||
| Moreover, if we write $P = (P_1, \ldots, P_m)$, and view this | |||
| $P$ as a polynomial map $k^{n} \to k^{m}$, then | |||
| \[ | |||
| T_xX = x + \text{ker } P'(x) | |||
| \] with $P'(x)$ the Jacobian of $P$ at $x$, i.e. | |||
| \[ | |||
| P'(x) = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{\partial P_1}{\partial T_1}(x) & \cdots & \frac{\partial P_1}{\partial T_n}(x) \\ | |||
| \vdots & & \vdots \\ | |||
| \frac{\partial P_m}{\partial T_1}(x) & \cdots & \frac{\partial P_m}{\partial T_n}(x) | |||
| \end{pmatrix} | |||
| .\] In particular, $\text{dim } T_xX = n - \operatorname{rk } P'(x)$. | |||
| \label{kor:tangent-kernel-jacobian} | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{bsp} | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $X = \{ y^2 - x^{3} = 0\} \subseteq k^2$. Then $\mathcal{I}(X) = (y^2 - x^{3})$, | |||
| so, | |||
| \[ | |||
| T_{(0,0)}X = (0,0) + \text{ker} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = k^2 | |||
| .\] | |||
| which strictly contains the tangent cone $\{y^2 = 0\} $. In particular, | |||
| the origin is indeed a singular point of the cuspidal cubic. In general, | |||
| \[ | |||
| T_{(x,y)}X = (x,y) + \text{ker} \begin{pmatrix} -3x^2 & 2y \end{pmatrix} | |||
| ,\] | |||
| which is an affine line if $(x,y) \neq (0,0)$. | |||
| \item $X = \{ y^2 - x^2 - x^{3} = 0\} \subseteq k^2$. Then | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(X) = (y^2 - x^2 - x^{3})$, so | |||
| \[ | |||
| T_{(0,0)}X = (0,0) + \text{ker} \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = k^2 | |||
| \] which again strictly contains the tangent cone $\{y = \pm x\} $. In general, | |||
| \[ | |||
| T_{(x,y)}X = (x,y) + \text{ker} \begin{pmatrix} -2x & 2y \end{pmatrix} | |||
| ,\] which is an affine line if $(x,y) \neq (0,0)$. | |||

| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||

| Let $k$ be algebraically closed and $A$ a finitely-generated $k$-Algebra. Then | |||
| the map | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \hat{A} = \operatorname{Hom}_{k\text{-alg}}(A, k) &\longrightarrow \operatorname{Spm } A \\ | |||
| \xi &\longmapsto \text{ker } \xi | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| is a bijection. | |||
| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| The map | |||
| admits an inverse | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \operatorname{Spm } A &\longrightarrow \operatorname{Hom}_{k\text{-alg}}(A, k) \\ | |||
| \mathfrak{m} &\longmapsto (A \to A / \mathfrak{m}) | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| This is well-defined, since $A / \mathfrak{m}$ is a finite extension of the algebraically closed field | |||
| $k$, so $k \simeq A / \mathfrak{m}$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| Since we have defined a product on the left-hand side of the anti-equivalence, this must correspond | |||
| to coproduct on the right-hand side. Since the coproduct in the category of commutative | |||
| $k$-algebras with unit is given by the tensor product, we have | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{O}_{X \times Y} (X \times Y) \simeq \mathcal{O}_X(X) \otimes_k \mathcal{O}_Y(Y) | |||
| .\] | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| Let $k$ be algebraically closed. Then the tensor product of two | |||
| reduced (resp. integral) finitely-generated $k$-algebras is reduced (resp. integral). | |||
| \label{kor:k-alg-closed-tensor-of-reduced} | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| This follows from the anti-equivalence of categories: Reduced since products of affine | |||
| $k$-varieties exist and integral since the product of two irreducible affine $k$-varieties is irreducible. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| \ref{kor:k-alg-closed-tensor-of-reduced} is false in general if $k = \overline{k}$. For instance | |||
| $\mathbb{C}$ is an integral $\R$-algebra, but | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \mathbb{C} \otimes_{\R} \mathbb{C} | |||
| &= \R[x]/(x^2 + 1) \otimes_{\R} \mathbb{C} \\ | |||
| &= \mathbb{C}[x]/(x^2 + 1) \\ | |||
| &= \mathbb{C}[x]/((x-i)(x+i)) \\ | |||
| &\stackrel{(*)}{\simeq} \mathbb{C}[x]/(x-i) \times \mathbb{C}[x]/(x+i) \\ | |||
| &\simeq \mathbb{C} \times \mathbb{C} | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| is not integral, where $(*)$ follows from the Chinese remainder theorem. | |||
| For a non-reduced example, consider $k = \mathbb{F}_{p}(t)$ and choose a $p$-th root | |||
| $\alpha = t ^{\frac{1}{p}}$ in $\overline{\mathbb{F}_p(t)}$. Then $\alpha \not\in k$ | |||
| but $\alpha ^{n} \in k$. If we put $L = k(\alpha)$, then | |||
| $\alpha \otimes 1 - 1 \otimes \alpha \neq 0$ in $L \otimes_k L$ since | |||
| the elements $(\alpha ^{i} \otimes \alpha ^{j})_{0 \le i, j \le p-1}$ form a basis | |||
| of $L \otimes_k L$ as a $k$-vector space, but | |||
| \[ | |||
| (\alpha \otimes 1 - 1 \otimes \alpha)^{p} | |||
| = \alpha ^{p} \otimes 1 - 1 \otimes \alpha ^{p} | |||
| = 1 \otimes \alpha ^{p} - 1 \otimes \alpha ^{p} = 0 | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| We now consider more generally finitely generated reduced $k$-algebras when $k$ is not | |||
| necessarily closed. | |||
| \begin{bsp} | |||
| Let $A = \R[X]/(x^2 +1)$. Since $x^2 + 1 $ is irreducible in $\R[x]$, it | |||
| generates a maximal ideal, thus the finitely-generated $\R$-algebra $A$ is a field and in | |||
| particular reduced. We can equip the topogical space | |||
| $X \coloneqq \operatorname{Spm } A = \{ (0)\} $ with a sheaf of regular functions, defined | |||
| by $\mathcal{O}_X(\{(0)\}) = A$. In other words, $\operatorname{Spm } A$ is just a point, | |||
| but equipped with the reduced $\R$-algebra $A$. It thus differs from the | |||
| point $\operatorname{Spm } \R$, which is equipped with the reduced $\R$-algebra $\R$, | |||
| since $\R[x]/(x^2 + 1) \not\simeq \R$ as $\R$-algebras. Indeed, the $\R$-algebra $\R[x]/(x^2+1)$ | |||
| is $2$ dimensional as a real vector space. | |||
| $A$ possesses a non-trivial $\R$-algebra automorphism induced by the automorphism of $\R$-algebras, | |||
| $P \mapsto P(-x)$ in $\R[x]$. Indeed, $\R[x]/(x^2+1) \simeq \mathbb{C}$ as $\R$-algebras, | |||
| with the previous automorphism corresponding to the complex conjugation $z \mapsto \overline{z}$. | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{bsp} | |||
| By analogy with the Zariski topology on maximal spectra of (finitely generated, reduced) | |||
| $\mathbb{C}$-algebras, we can equip $X = \operatorname{Spm } A$ with | |||
| a Zariski topology for all (finitely generated reduced) $\R$-algebras $A$: the closed subsets | |||
| of this topology are given by | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}_X(I) \coloneqq \{ \mathfrak{m} \in \operatorname{Spm } A \mid \mathfrak{m} \supset I\} | |||
| \] for any ideal $I \subseteq A$. | |||
| Note that $X = \operatorname{Spm } A$ contains | |||
| $\hat{A} = \operatorname{Hom}_{k\text{-alg}}(A, k)$ as a subset: the points | |||
| of $\hat{A}$ correspond to maximal ideals $\mathfrak{m}$ of $A$ with residue field | |||
| $A / \mathfrak{m} \simeq k$. But when $k \not\simeq \overline{k}$, the set | |||
| $\operatorname{Spm } A$ is strictly larger than $\hat{A}$: it contains maximal ideals $\mathfrak{m}$ | |||
| such that $A / \mathfrak{m}$ is a non-trivial finite extension of $k$. The induced topology on | |||
| $\hat{A} \subseteq \operatorname{Spm } A$ is the Zariski topologoy of $\hat{A}$ that was | |||
| introduced earlier. | |||
| Let $A = \R[x]$. Maximal ideals in the principal ring $\R[x]$ are generated | |||
| by a single irreducible polynomial $P$, which is either of degree $1$ or of degree $2$ with | |||
| negative discriminant. | |||
| In the first case, $P = x-a$ for some $a \in \R$ and the residue field is $\R[x]/(x - a) \simeq \R$, | |||
| while, in the second case, $P = x^2 + bx + c$ for $b, c \in \R$ and $b^2 - 4c < 0$ and | |||
| by choosing a root $z_0$ of $P$ in $\mathbb{C}$, the map | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \eta_{z_0} \colon \R[x]/(x^2 + bx + c) &\longrightarrow \mathbb{C} \\ | |||
| \overline{P} &\longmapsto P(z_0) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| is a field-homomorphism. In particular it is injective. Since $\mathbb{C}$ and | |||
| $\R[x]/(x^2 + bx + c)$ are both degree $2$ extensions of $\R$, we have | |||
| $\R[x]/(x^2 + bx + c) \simeq \mathbb{C}$. | |||
| Note that the other root of $x^2 + bx +c $ is $\overline{z_0}$ and that | |||
| $\eta_{\overline{z_0}} = \sigma \circ \eta_{z_0}$ where $\sigma$ is complex conjugation on $\mathbb{C}$. | |||
| So we have to ways to identify $\R[x]/(x^2 + bx +c)$ to $\mathbb{C}$ and they are | |||
| related by the action of $\text{Gal}(\mathbb{C}/ \R)$ on $\mathbb{C}$. | |||
| To sum up, the difference between the two possible types of maximal ideals $\mathfrak{m} \subseteq \R[x]$ | |||
| is the residue field, which is either $\R$ or $\mathbb{C}$. When it is $\R$, we | |||
| find exactly the points of | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \widehat{\R[x]} &= \operatorname{Hom}_{\R\text{-alg}}(\R[x], \R) \\ | |||
| &\simeq \{ \mathfrak{m} \in \operatorname{Spm } \R[x] \mid \R[x]/\mathfrak{m} \simeq \R\} \\ | |||
| &\simeq \{ (x-a) \colon a \in \R\} \\ | |||
| &\simeq \R | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| And when the residue field is $\mathbb{C}$, we have $\mathfrak{m} = (x^2 + bx + c)$ with | |||
| $b, c \in \R$ such that $b^2 - 4c < 0$. If we choose $z_0$ to be the root | |||
| of $x^2 + bx +c$ with $\text{Im}(z_0) > 0$, we can identify the set of these maximal ideals with | |||
| the subset | |||
| \[ | |||
| H \coloneqq \{ z \in \mathbb{C} \mid \text{Im}(z) > 0\} | |||
| .\] | |||
| In other words, the following pictures emerges, where we identify | |||
| $\operatorname{Spm } \R[x]$ with | |||
| \[ | |||
| \hat{H} \coloneqq \{ z \in \mathbb{C} \mid \text{Im}(z) \ge 0\} | |||
| \] | |||
| via the map | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \operatorname{Spm } \R[x] &\longrightarrow \hat{H} \\ | |||
| \mathfrak{m} &\longmapsto \begin{cases} | |||
| a \in \R & \mathfrak{m} = (x-a) \\ | |||
| z_0 \in H & \mathfrak{m} = ((x-z_0)(x-\overline{z_0})) \text{ and } \text{Im}(z_0) > 0 | |||
| \end{cases} | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| which is indeed bijective. | |||

| We see that $\operatorname{Spm } \R[x]$ contains a lot more points | |||
| that $\R$. One could go further and add the ideal $(0)$: This would give the set | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathbb{A}^{1}_{\R} = \operatorname{Spec } \R[x] | |||
| = \operatorname{Spm } \R[x] \cup \{(0)\} | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| If $A$ is a $k$-algebra and $\overline{k}$ is an algebraic closure of $k$, the | |||
| group $\text{Aut}_k(\overline{k})$ acts on the $\overline{k}$-algebra | |||
| $A_{\overline{k}} \coloneqq A \otimes_k \overline{k}$ via | |||
| $\sigma (a \otimes \lambda) \coloneqq a \otimes \sigma(\lambda)$. Moreover, the map | |||
| $a \mapsto a \otimes 1$ induces an injective morphism of $k$-algebras | |||
| $A \xhookrightarrow{} A \otimes_k \overline{k}$ since | |||
| the tensor product over fields is left-exact. | |||
| Its image is contained in the $k$-subalgebra | |||
| $\operatorname{Fix}_{\operatorname{Aut}_k(\overline{k})} A_{\overline{k}} \subseteq A_{\overline{k}}$. When | |||
| $k$ is a perfect field, this inclusion is an equality. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{bsp} | |||
| If $A = \R[x]$, then $A \otimes_{\R} \mathbb{C} \simeq \mathbb{C}[x]$. The group | |||
| $\text{Aut}_{\R}(\mathbb{C}) = \text{Gal}(\mathbb{C}/\R) = \langle \sigma \rangle$ with | |||
| $\sigma\colon z \mapsto \overline{z}$, acts naturally on $\mathbb{C}[x]$. This | |||
| is an action by $\R$-algebra automorphisms. Clearly, | |||
| $\text{Fix}_{\langle\sigma\rangle} \mathbb{C}[x] = \R[x]$. There | |||
| is an induced action on $\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x]$, | |||
| defined by | |||
| \[ | |||
| \sigma(\mathfrak{m}) = \sigma((x-z)) \coloneqq (x - \sigma(z)) = (x - \overline{z}) | |||
| .\] | |||
| When we identify $\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x]$ with $\mathbb{C}$ | |||
| via $(x-z) \mapsto z$, this action is just $z \mapsto \overline{z}$. This | |||
| ,,geometric action'' induces an action of $\text{Gal}(\mathbb{C}/\R)$ on | |||
| regular functions on $\mathbb{C}$: to $h \in \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}}(U)$, there | |||
| is associated a regular function $h \in \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}}(\sigma(U))$, defined for | |||
| all $x \in \sigma(U)$, by | |||
| \[ | |||
| \sigma(h)(z) \coloneqq \sigma \circ h \circ \sigma ^{-1}(z) = \overline{h(\overline{z})} | |||
| .\] | |||
| In particular, if $h = P \in \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}}(\mathbb{C}) = \mathbb{C}[x]$, then | |||
| $P \mapsto \sigma(P)$ coincides with the natural | |||
| $\text{Gal}(\mathbb{C} / \R)$ action on $\mathbb{C}[x]$. We will see momentarily that this | |||
| defines a sheaf of $\R$-algebras on $\operatorname{Spm } \R[x]$. To that end, | |||
| let us first look more closely at the $\text{Gal}(\mathbb{C}/ \R)$ action | |||
| on $\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x]$. Its fixed-point set | |||
| is | |||
| \[ | |||
| \{ \mathfrak{m} \in \operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x] \mid \mathfrak{m} = (x-a), a \in \R\} | |||
| \simeq \R = \operatorname{Fix}_{z \mapsto \overline{z}}(\mathbb{C}) | |||
| .\] | |||
| Moreover, there is a map | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x] &\longrightarrow \operatorname{Spm } \R[x] \\ | |||
| \mathfrak{m} &\longmapsto \mathfrak{m} \cap \R[x] | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| sending $(x-a) \mathbb{C}[x]$ to $(x-a)\R[x]$ if $a \in \R$, | |||
| and $(x-z)\mathbb{C}[x]$ to $(x-z)(x-\overline{z})\R[x]$ if $z \in \mathbb{C} \setminus \R$. | |||
| This map is surjective and induces a bijection | |||
| \[ | |||
| (\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x]) / \operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{C} / \R) | |||
| \xlongrightarrow{\simeq} \operatorname{Spm } \R[x] | |||
| .\] | |||
| Geometrically, the quotient map $\pi\colon \operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x] \to \operatorname{Spm } \R[x]$ | |||
| is the ,,folding map`` | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \mathbb{C} &\longrightarrow \hat{H} \\ | |||
| z = u + iv &\longmapsto u + i |v| | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||

| \end{figure} | |||
| In view of this, it is natural to | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item put the quotient topology on | |||
| \[ | |||
| \operatorname{Spm } \R[x] = \left( \operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x] \right) | |||
| / \operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{C}/\R) | |||
| \] | |||
| where $\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x] \simeq \mathbb{C}$ is equipped with its topology | |||
| of algebraic variety. | |||
| \item define a sheaf of $\R$-algebras on $\operatorname{Spm } \R[x]$ by pushing-forward | |||
| the structure sheaf on $\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x]$ | |||
| and then taking the $\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{C}/ \R)$-invariant subsheaf: | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Spm } \R[x]}(U) | |||
| \coloneqq \mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x]} | |||
| (\pi^{-1}(U))^{\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{C} / \R)} | |||
| \] where | |||
| $\pi\colon \operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x] \to \operatorname{Spm } \R[x]$, | |||
| $\mathfrak{m} \mapsto \mathfrak{m} \cap \R[x]$ is the quotient map, | |||
| and $\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{C}/ \R)$ acts on | |||
| $\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x]}(\pi^{-1}(U))$ via | |||
| $h \mapsto \sigma(h) = \sigma \circ h \circ \sigma ^{-1}$ (note that the open set | |||
| $\pi^{-1}(U)$ is $\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{C} / \R)$-invariant). | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| Observe that | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Spm } \R[x]}(\operatorname{Spm } \R[x]) | |||
| = \mathbb{C}[x]^{\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{C} / \R)} = \R[x] | |||
| .\] | |||
| Also, if $h = \frac{f}{g}$ around $x \in U$, then, around | |||
| $\sigma(x) \in U$, one has $\sigma(h) = \frac{\sigma(f)}{\sigma(g)}$ and, | |||
| for all $\lambda \in \mathbb{C}$, $\sigma(\lambda h) = \overline{\lambda} \sigma(h)$. | |||
| Remarkably, we will see that we can reconstruct the algebraic $\mathbb{C}$-variety | |||
| \[ | |||
| (X_{\mathbb{C}}, \mathcal{O}_{X_{\mathbb{C}}}) | |||
| \coloneqq (\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x], \mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Spm } \mathbb{C}[x]}) | |||

| \[ | |||
| (X, \mathcal{O}_X) \coloneqq (\operatorname{Spm } \R[x], \mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Spm } \R[x]} | |||
| \] that we have just constructed. | |||

| \section{Ordered fields and real fields} | |||
| \begin{definition}[] | |||
| An \emph{ordered field} is a pair $(k, \le)$ consisting of a field $k$ and | |||
| an order relation $\le$ such that | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $\le $ is a total order: if $x, y \in k$, then $x \le y$ or $y \le x$. | |||
| \item $\le $ is compatible with addition in $k$: | |||
| if $x, y, z \in k$, then $x \le y$ implies $x + z \le y + z$. | |||
| \item $\le $ is compatible with multiplication in $k$: | |||
| if $x, y\in k$, then $0 \le x$ and $0 \le y$ implies $0 \le xy$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| A morphism between two ordered fields $(k, \le)$ and $(L, \le)$ is a field homomorphism | |||
| $\varphi\colon k \to L$ such that $x \le y$ in $k$ implies $\varphi(x) \le \varphi(y)$ in $L$. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[] | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(1)] | |||
| \item The fields $\Q$ and $\R$, equipped with their usual orderings, are | |||
| ordered fields. | |||
| \item The field $\mathbb{C}$ can be equipped with a total ordering | |||
| (the ,,lexicographic order``) but not with a structure of | |||
| ordered field. | |||
| \item The field $\R(t)$ of rational fractions with coefficients in $\R$, can | |||
| be equipped with a structure of ordered field in multiple ways: | |||
| Fix an $x \in \R$ and, for all polynomial $P \in \R[t]$, use | |||
| Taylor expansion at $x$ to write | |||
| \[ | |||
| P(t) = a_p (t - x)^{p} + \text{higher order terms} | |||
| .\] | |||
| with $a_p \neq 0$, then define | |||
| $P(t) >_{x^{+}} 0$ if $a_p > 0$, i.e. if the function | |||
| $t \mapsto P(t)$ is positive on a small interval $(x, x + \epsilon)$. Set also | |||
| $\frac{P(t)}{Q(t)} >_{x^{+}} 0$ if $P(t)Q(t) >_{x^{+}} 0$, | |||
| and define $f \le_{x^{+}} g$ in $\R(t)$ if either $f = g$ or | |||
| $g - f >_{x^{+}} 0$. | |||
| Equivalently $f \le_{x^{+}} g$ in $\R(t)$ if | |||
| either $f = g$ or $g - f$ is positively-valued on $(x, x + \epsilon)$ for $\epsilon > 0$ small | |||
| enough. | |||
| It is clear that this is a total ordering on $\R(t)$, and that this ordering is compatible | |||
| with addition and multiplication in the sense of the definition of an ordered field. | |||
| Moreover, the substitution homomorphism | |||
| $h(t) \mapsto h(t - x)$ induces an isomorphism of ordered fields | |||
| $(\R(t), \le_{0^{+}}) \xlongrightarrow{\simeq} (\R(t), \le_{x^{+}})$, | |||
| since a function $t \mapsto h(t - x)$ is positively-valued | |||
| on $(x, x + \epsilon)$ if and only if the function $t \mapsto h(t)$ is positively valued | |||
| on $(0, \epsilon)$. | |||
| Note that we can also define orderings on $\R(t)$ by setting $f \le_{x^{-}} g$ | |||
| if either $f = g$ or $g - f$ is positively-valued | |||
| on $(x-\epsilon, x)$, for $\epsilon > 0$ small enough. | |||
| The substitution homomorphism $h(t) \mapsto h(-t)$ induces an isomorphism | |||
| of ordered fields | |||
| $(\R(t), \le_{0^{-}}) \xlongrightarrow{\simeq} (\R(t), \le_{0^{+}})$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| The ordered field $(\R(t), \le_{0^{+}})$ | |||
| is non-Archimedean: the element $t$ is | |||
| \emph{infinitely small with respect to any real $\delta > 0$} in the sense that for all $n \in \N$, | |||
| $nt < \delta$ (indeed $t \mapsto n t - \delta$ is negatively-valued | |||
| on $(0, \epsilon)$ for $\epsilon > 0$ small enough). Equivalently, $\frac{1}{t}$ | |||
| is infinitely large with respect to $ 0 < \delta \in \R$ in the sense that | |||
| $\frac{1}{t} > n \delta$ for all $n \in \N$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{satz}[] | |||
| Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field and $x, y, z \in k$. Then the following properties hold: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(a)] | |||
| \item $x \ge 0$ or $- x \ge 0$. | |||
| \item $-1 < 0$ and $1 > 0$. | |||
| \item $k$ is of characteristic $0$. | |||
| \item if $x < y$ and $z > 0$, then $x z < y z$. | |||
| \item if $x < y$ and $z < 0$, then $x z > y z$. | |||
| \item $x y \ge 0$ if and only if $x$ and $y$ have the same sign. | |||
| \item $x^2 \ge 0$ and, if $x \neq 0$, then $x$ and $\frac{1}{x}$ have the same sign. | |||
| \item if $0 < x \le y$, then $0 < \frac{1}{y} \le \frac{1}{x}$. | |||

| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Elementary verifications. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| It turns out that it is possible to characterise ordered fields without explicitly mentioning | |||
| the order relation, using cones of positive elements. | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| Let $k$ be a field. A \emph{cone} in $k$ is a subset $P \subseteq k$ such that | |||
| for all $x, y \in P$ and $z \in k$: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $x + y \in P$ | |||
| \item $xy \in P$ | |||
| \item $z^2 \in P$ | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| A cone $P \subseteq k$ is called a \emph{positive cone} if, additionally, one has: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \setcounter{enumi}{3} | |||
| \item $-1 \not\in P$ | |||

| Let $k$ be a field. Assume that there exists a positive cone $P \subseteq k$. Then: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $0 \in P$ and $1 \in P$. | |||
| \item $k$ is of characteristic $0$. | |||
| \item $P \cap (-P) = \{0\}$ | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $0 = 0^2 \in P$ and $1 = 1^2 \in P$ by axiom (iii). | |||
| \item Since $1 \in P$, by induction and axiom (i), | |||
| $n \cdot 1 = \underbrace{1 + \ldots + 1}_{n \text{ times}} \in P$ for all $n \in \N$. | |||
| Assume that there exists $n \in \N$, such that $n \cdot 1 = 0$ in $k$. | |||
| Since $1 \neq 0$ in $k$, it follows $n \ge 2$ so, | |||
| \[ | |||
| -1 = 0 - 1 = n \cdot 1 - 1 = (n - 1) \cdot 1 \in P | |||
| ,\] which contradicts axiom (iv). | |||
| \item Assume that there exists $x \in P \cap (-P) \setminus \{0\}$. In particular | |||
| $x \neq 0$ and $-x \in P$. So | |||
| $- x^2 = (-x) x \in P$ by axiom (ii) and $\frac{1}{x^2} = \left( \frac{1}{x} \right)^2 \in P$ | |||
| by axiom (iii). Again by axiom (ii) | |||
| \[ | |||
| -1 = \frac{1}{x^2} (-x^2) \in P | |||
| \] which contradicts axiom (iv). | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| Given a positive cone $P$ in a field $k$, let us set $P^{+} = P \setminus \{0\} $ | |||
| and $P^{-} = (-P) \setminus \{0\} = - P^{+}$. Then we have a disjoint union | |||
| \[ | |||
| P^{-} \sqcup \{0\} \sqcup P^{+} \subseteq k | |||
| .\] | |||
| Note that $P^{+}$ satisfies axioms (i) and (ii) of the definition of a cone, as well | |||
| as the property that $x \in k \setminus \{0\} \implies x^2 \in P^{+}$. | |||
| We now prove that positive curves can be enlarged, that the resulting notion of | |||
| maximal positive cone satisfies $P \cup (-P) = k$, and that | |||
| this defines a structure of ordered field on $k$ by setting $x \le y$ if and only if $y - x \in P$. | |||
| \begin{lemma} | |||
| Assume that $P$ is a positive cone in a field $k$. If $a \in k \setminus P \cup (-P)$, then the set | |||
| \[ | |||
| P[a] \coloneqq \{ x + a y \in k \colon x, y \in P\} | |||
| \] | |||
| is a positive cone in $k$, satisfying $P \subsetneq P[a]$. | |||
| \label{lemma:positive-cone-extend-by-one-element} | |||
| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $x, y, x', y' \in P$. Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| (x + ay) + (x' + a y') = x + x' + a(y + y') \in P[a] | |||
| \] and | |||
| \[ | |||
| (x+ay)(x' + ay') = x x' + a^2 y y' + a (x y' + x' y) \in P[a] | |||
| .\] Moreover $z^2 \in P \subseteq P[a]$ for all $z \in k$. | |||
| Now assume $-1 = x + a y$ for some $x, y \in P$. | |||
| If $y = 0$, then $-1 = x \in P$ which is a contradiction. Thus $y \neq 0$ and | |||
| \[ | |||
| - a = \frac{1 + x}{y} = \left( \frac{1}{y} \right)^2 y (1+x) \in P | |||
| ,\] which contradicts the assumption on $a$. Finally, we have $P \subseteq P[a]$ and, | |||
| if $P[a] \subseteq P$ then $a \in P$, again contradicting the assumption on $a$. So | |||
| $P \subsetneq P[a]$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of positive cones of a field $k$ ordered | |||
| by inclusion. If $\mathcal{P} \neq \emptyset$, then | |||
| $\mathcal{P}$ admits a maximal element and such an element $P$ satisfies | |||
| $P \cup (-P) = k$. | |||
| \label{satz:existence-maximal-positive-cones} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| To obtain a maximal element of $\mathcal{P}$, | |||
| by Zorn's lemma, it suffices to show, that every | |||
| chain $(P_i)_{i \in I}$ in $\mathcal{P}$ has an upper bound. We set | |||
| \[ | |||
| P = \bigcup_{i \in I} P_i \subseteq k | |||
| .\] One verifies immediately that $P$ is a positive cone and an upper bound of the chain $(P_i)_{i \in I}$. | |||
| Let $P$ be such a maximal element. If there exists $a \in k \setminus P \cup (-P)$, then by | |||
| \ref{lemma:positive-cone-extend-by-one-element} $P \subsetneq P[a]$ contradicts the maximality of $P$. Thus | |||
| $P \cup (-P) = k$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $k$ be a field and denote by | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Sigma k^{[2]} \coloneqq | |||
| \left\{ y \in k \mid \exists (a_x)_{x \in k} \in \{0, 1\}^{(k)}, y = \sum_{x \in k} a_x x^2 \right\} | |||
| \] | |||
| the set of sums of squares in $k$. Then | |||
| $\Sigma k^{[2]}$ is a cone and $-1 \not\in \Sigma k^{[2]}$ if and only if | |||
| for all $x_1, \ldots, x_n \in k$: | |||
| \[ | |||
| x_1^2 + \ldots + x_n^2 = 0 \implies x_1 = \ldots = x_n = 0 | |||
| .\] | |||
| \label{satz:sums-of-squares-cone} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| One verifies immediately that $\Sigma k^{[2]}$ is a cone in $k$. If | |||
| $-1 \in \Sigma k^{[2]}$, then | |||
| $-1 = x_1^2 + \ldots + x_n^2$ for some $x_i \in k$. Thus | |||
| \[ | |||
| 0 = \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i^2 + 1 | |||
| \] but $1 = 1^2$ and $1 \neq 0$. Conversely let | |||
| $0 = \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i^2$ with $x_1 \neq 0$. Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| -1 = \frac{1}{x_1^2} \sum_{i=2}^{n} x_i^2 = | |||
| \sum_{i=2}^{n} \left(\frac{x_i}{x_1}\right)^2 | |||
| \in \Sigma k^{[2]} | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| A field $k$ is called a \emph{real field} if $-1 \not\in \Sigma k^{[2]}$, or equivalently | |||
| if $\sum_{k=1}^{n} x_i^2 = 0$ in $k$ implies $x_k = 0$ for all $k$. | |||

| a positive cone. | |||

| $(\Rightarrow)$: By \ref{satz:sums-of-squares-cone} $\Sigma k^{[2]}$ is a positive | |||
| cone. | |||
| $(\Leftarrow)$: Let $P$ be a positive cone. Since | |||
| $P$ is closed under addition and for all $z \in k\colon z^2 \in P$, | |||
| $\Sigma k^{[2]} \subset P$. Since $P$ is positive, $-1 \not\in \Sigma k^{[2]}$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field. Then the set | |||
| \[ | |||
| P \coloneqq \{ x \in k \mid x \ge 0\} | |||
| \] is a maximal positive cone in $k$. In particular, | |||
| $k$ is a real field. Conversely, if $k$ is a real field and $P$ is a maximal | |||
| positive cone in $k$, then the relation $x \le_P y$ if $y - x \in P$ is an order | |||
| relation and $(k, \le_P)$ is an ordered field. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| $(\Rightarrow)$: | |||
| Let $(k, \le )$ be an ordered field. Then by | |||
| definition and \ref{satz:ordered-field-basics}, $P$ is a maximal positive cone. | |||
| $(\Leftarrow)$: Let $P$ be a maximal positive cone in $k$. Since | |||
| $0 \in P$, we have $x \le_P x$. Suppose that $x \le_P y$ and $y \le_P x$. Then | |||
| $y - x \in P \cap (-P) = \{0\} $, so $x = y$. Moreover, if $x \le_P y$ | |||
| and $y \le_P z$, then $z - x = (z - y) + (y - x) \in P$. Thus $x \le_P z$, hence | |||
| $\le_P$ is an order relation. Moreover, it is a total order, because if | |||
| $x, y \in k$, then $y - x \in k = P \cup (-P)$, so either $x \le_P y$ or $y \le_P x$. | |||
| Finally, | |||
| this total order on $k$ is compatible with addition and multiplication because | |||
| $x \le_P y$ and $z \in k$ implies $(y + z) - (x + z) = y - x \in P$, so | |||
| $x + z \le_P y + z$, and $x \ge_P 0$, $y \ge_P 0$ means that $x \in P$ and $y \in P$, so $xy \in P$, | |||
| hence $xy \ge_P 0$. | |||

| \section{Real-closed fields} | |||
| In this section we study real algebraic extensions of real fields. | |||
| \begin{lemma} | |||
| Let $k$ be a real field and $x \in k \setminus \{0\} $. Then | |||
| $x$ and $-x$ cannot be both sums of squares in $k$. | |||
| \label{lemma:real-field-only-one-is-square} | |||
| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| If $x \in \Sigma k^{[2]}$ and $-x \in \Sigma k^{[2]}$, then | |||
| \[ | |||
| 1 = \frac{1}{x^2} (-x) x \in \Sigma k^{[2]} | |||
| \] contradicting that $k$ is real. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $k$ be a real field and $a \in k$ such that $a$ is not a square in $k$. | |||
| Then the field | |||
| \[ | |||
| k(\sqrt{a}) = k[t] / (t^2 - a) | |||
| \] is real if and only if $-a \not\in \Sigma k^{[2]}$. | |||
| In particular, if $\Sigma k^{[2]} \cup (- \Sigma k^{[2]}) \neq k$, | |||
| then $k$ admits real quadratic extensions. | |||
| \label{satz:quadratic-extensions-of-real-field} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Since $a$ is not a square in $k$, $t^2 - a$ is irreducible in $k[t]$, so | |||
| $k[t] / (t^2 -a)$ is indeed a field. Denote by $\sqrt{a} $ the class of | |||
| $t$ in the quotient. | |||
| ($\Rightarrow$): $a$ is a square in $k(\sqrt{a})$, thus by | |||
| \ref{lemma:real-field-only-one-is-square} we have $-a \not\in \Sigma k(\sqrt{a})^2$. | |||
| But $\Sigma k^{[2]} \subseteq \Sigma k(\sqrt{a})^{[2]}$, thus | |||
| $-a \not\in \Sigma k(\sqrt{a})^{[2]}$. | |||
| ($\Leftarrow$): | |||
| $-1 \in \Sigma k(\sqrt{a})^{[2]}$ | |||
| if and only if there exist $x_i, y_i \in k$, such that | |||
| \[ | |||
| -1 = \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i + y_i \sqrt{a})^2 | |||
| = \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i^2 + a y_i^2) + 2 \sqrt{a} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i y_i | |||
| .\] | |||
| Since $(1, \sqrt{a})$ is a basis of the $k$-vector space $k(\sqrt{a})$, the previous equality | |||
| implies | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| -1 &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i^2 + a \sum_{i=1}^{n} y_i^2 | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Since $-1 \not\in \Sigma k^{[2]}$, $\sum_{i=1}^{n} y_i^2 \neq 0$, this | |||
| implies | |||
| \[ | |||
| -a = \frac{1 + \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i^2}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} y_i^2} | |||
| = \frac{\left( \sum_{i=1}^{n} y_i^2 \right)\left( 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i^2 \right) } | |||
| {\left( \sum_{i=1}^{n} y_i^2 \right)^2} | |||

| Simple extensions of odd degree are simpler from the real point of view: | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $k$ be a real field and $P \in k[t]$ be an irreducible polynomial of odd degree. | |||
| Then the field $k[t]/(P)$ is real. | |||
| \label{satz:odd-real-extension} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Denote by $n$ the degree of $P$. We proceed by induction on $n \ge 1$. | |||
| If $n = 1$, then $k[t]/(P) \simeq k$ is real. Since $n$ is odd, we | |||
| may now assume $n \ge 3$. | |||
| Let $L \coloneqq k[t]/(P)$. Suppose $L$ is not real. Then there exist | |||
| polynomials $g_i \in k[t]$, of degree at most $n-1$, such that | |||
| $-1 = \sum_{i=1}^{m} g_i^2$ | |||
| in $L = k[t]/(P)$. Since $k \subseteq L$ and $k$ is real, at least | |||
| one of the $g_i$ is non-constant. | |||
| By definition of $L$, there exists $Q \in k[t] \setminus \{0\}$ | |||
| such that | |||
| \begin{equation} | |||
| -1 = \sum_{i=1}^{m} g_i^2 + P Q | |||
| \label{eq:gi-sq+pq} | |||
| \end{equation} | |||
| in $k[t]$. Since $k$ is real, in $\sum_{i=1}^{m} g_i^2$ no cancellations | |||
| of the terms of highest degree can occur. Thus | |||
| $\sum_{i=1}^{m} g_i^2$ is of positive, even degree at most $2n-2$. By | |||
| \ref{eq:gi-sq+pq}, it follows that $Q$ is of odd degree at most $n-2$. | |||
| In particular, $Q$ has at least one irreducible factor $Q_1$ of odd degree at most | |||
| $n-2$. Since $n \ge 3$, $n-2 \ge 1$. By induction, | |||
| $M \coloneqq k[t]/(Q_1)$ is real. But \ref{eq:gi-sq+pq} implies | |||
| \[ | |||
| -1 = \sum_{i=1}^{m} g_i^2 | |||
| \] in $M = k[t] / (Q_1)$ contradicting the fact that $M$ is real. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| A \emph{real-closed} field is a real field that | |||
| has no proper real algebraic extensions. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{theorem} | |||
| Let $k$ be a field. Then the following conditions are equivalent: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $k$ is real-closed. | |||
| \item $k$ is real and for all $a \in k$, either $a$ or $-a$ | |||
| is a square in $k$ and | |||
| every polynomial of odd degree in $k[t]$ has a | |||
| root in $k$. | |||
| \item the $k$-algebra | |||
| \[ | |||
| k[i] \coloneqq k[t] / (t^2+1) | |||
| \] is algebraically closed. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \label{thm:charac-real-closed}. | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| (i)$\Rightarrow$(ii): Let $a \in k$ such that neither $a$ nor $-a$ is a square in $k$. Then | |||
| by \ref{satz:quadratic-extensions-of-real-field} and (i), $\pm a \in \Sigma k^{[2]}$ | |||
| contradicting | |||
| \ref{lemma:real-field-only-one-is-square}. Let $P \in k[t]$ be a polynomial | |||
| of odd degree. $P$ has at least one irreducible factor $P_1$ of odd degree. | |||
| By \ref{satz:odd-real-extension}, $k[t]/(P_1)$ is a real extension of $k$. | |||
| Since $k$ is real-closed, $P_1$ must be of degree $1$ and thus $P$ has a root in $k$. | |||
| (ii)$\Rightarrow$(iii): Since $-1$ is not a square in $k$, the polynomial | |||
| $t^2 + 1$ is irreducible over $k$. Thus $L \coloneqq k[t]/(t^2 + 1)$ is a field. Denote | |||
| by $i$ the image of $t$ in $L$ and for $x = a + ib \in L = k[i]$, denote | |||
| by $\overline{x} = a - ib$. This extends to a ring homomorphism $L[t] \to L[t]$. Let | |||
| $P \in L[t]$ be non-constant. It remains to show, that $P$ has a root in $L$. We | |||
| first reduce to the case $P \in k[t]$. | |||
| Assume every non-constant polynomial in $k[t]$ has a root in $L$. Let $P \in L[t]$. Then | |||
| $P \overline{P} \in k[t]$ has a root $x \in L$, thus either $P(x) = 0$ | |||
| or $\overline{P}(x) = 0$. In the first case, we are done. | |||
| In the second case, we have $P(\overline{x}) = \overline{\overline{P}(x)} | |||
| = \overline{0} = 0$, so $\overline{x}$ is a root of $P$ in $L$. | |||
| Thus we may assume $P \in k[t]$. Write $d = \text{deg}(P) = 2^{m} n$ with $2 \nmid n$. We | |||
| proceed by induction on $m$. If $m = 0$, the result is true by (ii). Now assume $m > 0$. | |||
| Fix an algebraic closure $\overline{k}$ of $k$. Since $k$ is real, it is of characteristic | |||
| $0$, thus $k$ is perfect and $\overline{k} / k$ is galois. | |||
| Let $y_1, \ldots, y_d$ be the roots | |||
| of $P$ in $\overline{k}$. Consider for all $r \in \Z$: | |||
| \[ | |||
| F_r \coloneqq \prod_{1 \le p < q \le d}^{} | |||
| \left( t - (y_p + y_q) - r y_p y_q) \right) \in \overline{k}[t] | |||
| .\] This polynomial with coefficients in $\overline{k}$ is invariant | |||
| under permutation of $y_1, \ldots, y_d$. Thus its coefficients | |||
| lie in $\overline{k}^{\text{Gal}(\overline{k} / k)} = k$. Moreover | |||
| \[ | |||
| \text{deg}(F_r) = \binom{d}{2} = \frac{d(d-1)}{2} = 2^{m-1} n (2^{m} -1) | |||
| .\] with $n (2^{m} -1)$ odd. So the induction hypothesis applies and, | |||
| for all $r \in \Z$, there is a pair $p < q$ in $\{1, \ldots, d\} $ | |||
| such that $(y_p + y_q) + r y_p y_q \in L$. Since $\Z$ is infinite, | |||
| we can find a pair $p < q$ in $\{1, \ldots, d\} $ for which | |||
| there exists a pair $r \neq r'$ such that | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| &(y_p + y_q) + r y_p y_q \in L \\ | |||
| \text{and } & (y_p + y_q) + r' y_p y_q \in L | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| By solving the system, we get $y_p + y_q \in L$ and $y_p y_q \in L$. But $y_p, y_q$ | |||
| are roots of the quadratic polynomial | |||
| \[ | |||
| t^2 - (y_p + y_q)t + y_p y_q \in L[t] | |||
| \] and since $i^2 = -1$, the roots of this polynomial lie in $L = k[i]$, by (ii) and the | |||
| usual formulas | |||
| \[ | |||
| t_{1,2} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} | |||
| .\] So $P$ indeed has a root in $k[i]$, which finishes the induction. | |||
| (iii)$\Rightarrow$(i): Denote again by $i$ the image in the algebraically closed field | |||
| $k[t]/(t^2 + 1)$. We first show that $k^{[2]} = \Sigma k^{[2]}$. Let $a, b \in k$. Then | |||
| $a + ib = (c + id)^2$ in $k[i]$ for some $c, d \in k$. Thus | |||
| \[ | |||
| a^2 + b^2 = (a+ib)(a-ib) = (c+id)^2(c-id)^2 = (c^2 + d^2)^2 | |||
| .\] By induction the claim follows. Since $t^2 + 1$ is irreducible, | |||
| $-1 \not\in k^{[2]} = \Sigma k^{[2]}$ and $k$ is real. | |||
| Let $L$ be a real algebraic extension of $k$. Since $k[i]$ is algebraically closed and contains | |||
| $k$, there exists a $k$-homomorphism $L \xhookrightarrow{} k[i]$. Since | |||
| $[ k[i] : k ] = 2$, either $L = k$ or $L = k[i]$, but $k[i]$ is not real, since $i^2 = -1$ | |||
| in $k[i]$. So $L = k$ and $k$ is real-closed. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||

| A real-closed field $k$ admits a canonical structure of ordered field, in | |||
| which the cone of positive elements is exactly $k^{[2]}$, the set of squares in $k$. | |||

| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| Recall that, given a quadratic form $q$ on a finite-dimensional | |||
| $k$-vector space $E$, there always exists a basis of $E$ in which | |||
| $q(x_1, \ldots, x_n) = a_1x_1^2 + \ldots + a_r x_r^2$, where | |||
| $r = \text{rg}(q) \le n = \text{dim } E$ and $a_1, \ldots, a_r \in k$. | |||
| The form $q$ is non-degenerate on $E$ if and only if $r = \text{dim } E$. | |||

| \begin{bsp}[] | |||
| \begin{itemize} | |||
| \item A field $k$ is real if and only if for all $n \in \N$, the form | |||

| \begin{definition} | |||
| Let $k$ be a field and $L$ an extension of $k$. A quadratic form | |||
| $q\colon k^{n} \to k$ induces a quadratic form $q_L \colon L^{n} \to L$. The form | |||
| $q$ is called \emph{anisotropic over $L$} if $q_L$ is anisotropic. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| It can be checked that, on an ordered field $(k, \le )$, a quadratic form | |||
| $q$ is anisotropic if and only if it is non-degenerate and of constant sign. The interest | |||
| of this notion for us is given by the following result. | |||
| \begin{theorem} | |||
| \label{thm:charac-orderable-extension} | |||
| Let $(k, \le )$ be an ordered field and $L$ be an extension of $k$. Then the following | |||
| conditions are equivalent: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item The extension $L / k$ is orderable. | |||
| \item For all $n \ge 1$ and all $a = (a_1, \ldots, a_n) \in k^{n}$ such that | |||
| $a_i > 0$ for all $i$, the quadratic form | |||
| $q(x_1, \ldots, x_n) = a_1x_1^2 + \ldots + a_n x_n^2$ is anisotropic over $L$ | |||
| (i.e. all positive definite quadratic forms on $k$ are anisotropic over $L$). | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| (i)$\Rightarrow$(ii): Assume that there is an ordering of $L$ that extends | |||
| the ordering of $k$ and let $n \ge 1$. Let $a = (a_1, \ldots, a_n) \in k^{n}$ | |||
| with $a_i > 0$ for all $i$. Then $a_i > 0$ still holds in $L$. Since | |||
| squares are non-negative for all orderings, the sum | |||
| $a_1 x_1^2 + \ldots + a_n x_n^2$ is a sum of positive terms in $L$. Therefore | |||
| it can only be $0$, if all of its terms are $0$. Since $a_i \neq 0$, it follows | |||
| $x_i = 0$ for all $i$. | |||
| (ii)$\Rightarrow$(i): Define | |||
| \[ | |||
| P = \bigcup_{n \ge 1} \left\{ \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i x_i^2 \colon a_i \in k, a_i > 0, x_i \in L \right\} | |||
| .\] The set $P$ is stable by sum and product and contains all squares of $L$, | |||
| so it is a cone in $L$. Suppose $-1 \in P$. Then there exists | |||
| $n \ge 1$ and $a = (a_1, \ldots, a_n) \in k^{n}$ with $a_i > 0$ | |||
| and $x = (x_1, \ldots, x_n) \in L^{n}$ such that | |||
| $-1 = \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i x_i^2$. So | |||
| \[ | |||
| a_1 x_1^2 + \ldots + a_n x_n^2 + 1 = 0 | |||
| ,\] meaning that the quadratic form $a_{1} x_1^2 + \ldots + a_n x_n^2 + x_{n+1}^2$ | |||
| is isotropic on $L^{n+1}$, contradicting (ii). | |||
| Thus $P$ is a positive cone containing all positive elements of $k$. By | |||
| embedding $P$ in a maximal positive cone, the claim follows. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{satz}[] | |||
| Let $(k, \le )$ be an ordered field and let $c > 0$ be a positive element in $k$. | |||
| Then $k[\sqrt{c}]$ is an orderable extension of $k$. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| If $c$ is a square in $k$, there is nothing to prove. Otherwise, $k[\sqrt{c}]$ is | |||
| indeed a field. Let $n \ge 1$ and let $a = (a_1, \ldots, a_n) \in k^{n}$ | |||
| with $a_i > 0$ for all $i$. Assume that $x = (x_1, \ldots, x_n) \in k[\sqrt{c}]^{n}$ | |||
| satisfies | |||
| \[ | |||
| a_1 x_1^2 + \ldots + a_n x_n^2 = 0 | |||
| .\] Since $x_i = u_i + v_i \sqrt{c} $ for some $u_i, v_i \in k$, we can rewrite | |||
| this equation as | |||
| \[ | |||
| \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i (u_i^2 + c v_i^2) + 2 \sum_{i=1}^{n} u_i v_i \sqrt{c} = 0 | |||
| .\] | |||
| Since $1$ and $\sqrt{c}$ are linearly independent over $k$, we get | |||
| $\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i (u_i^2 + c v_i^2) = 0$, hence | |||
| $u_i = v_i = 0$ for all $i$, since all terms in the previous sum are non-negative. | |||
| So $x_i = 0$ for all $i$ and (ii) of \ref{thm:charac-orderable-extension} | |||
| is satisfied. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $(k, \le )$ be an ordered field and let $P \in k[t]$ be an irreducible | |||
| polynomial of odd degree. Then the field $L \coloneqq k[t]/ (P)$ is an orderable | |||
| extension of $k$. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Denote by $d$ the degree of $P$ and proceed by induction on $d \ge 1$. If $d = 1$, then | |||
| $L = k$. Now assume $d \ge 2$. Let $n \ge 1$ and $a_1, \ldots, a_n \in k$ with $a_i > 0$. | |||
| Denote by $q_L$ the quadratic form | |||
| \[ | |||
| q_L(x_1, \ldots, x_n) = a_1 x_1^2 + \ldots + a_n x_n^2 | |||
| \] on $L^{n}$. If $q_L$ is isotropic over $L$, then there exist | |||
| polynomials $g_1, \ldots, g_n \in k[t]$ with $\text{deg}(g_i) < d$ | |||
| and $h \in k[t]$ such that | |||
| \begin{equation} | |||
| q_L(g_1, \ldots, g_n) = h P | |||
| \label{eq:quad-form} | |||
| \end{equation} | |||
| Let $g$ be the greatest common divisor of $g_1, \ldots, g_n$. Since $q_L$ is | |||
| homogeneous of degree $2$, | |||
| $g^2$ divides $q_L(g_1, \ldots, g_n)$. Since $P$ is irreducible, $g$ divides $h$. | |||
| We may thus assume that $g = 1$. The leading coefficients of the terms on | |||
| the left hand side of (\ref{eq:quad-form}) are non-negative, thus | |||
| the sum has even degree $< 2d$. Since the degree of $P$ is odd, | |||
| $h$ must be of odd degree $< d$. Therefore, $h$ has an irreducible factor | |||
| $h_1 \in k[t]$ of odd degree. Let $\alpha$ be a root of $h_1$. By evaluating | |||
| (\ref{eq:quad-form}) at $\alpha$, we get | |||
| \[ | |||
| q_{k[\alpha]}(g_1(\alpha), \ldots, g_n(\alpha)) = 0 | |||
| \] in $k[\alpha]$. Since the $gcd(g_1, \ldots, g_n) = 1$ and $k[t]$ is a principal ideal | |||
| domain, there exist $h_1, \ldots, h_n \in k[t]$ such that | |||
| \[ | |||
| h_1 g_1 + \ldots + h_n g_n = 1 | |||
| .\] In particular | |||
| \[ | |||
| h_1(\alpha) g_1(\alpha) + \ldots + h_n(\alpha) g_n(\alpha) = 1 | |||
| ,\] so not all $g_i(\alpha)$ are $0$ in $k[\alpha]$. Thus $q_{k[\alpha]}$ | |||
| is isotropic over $k[\alpha] = k[t] / (h_1)$ contradicting the induction hypothesis. | |||

| \section{Real closures} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $k$ be a real field. Then there exists a real-closed | |||
| algebraic orderable extension $k^{r}$ of $k$. | |||
| \label{satz:existence-alg-closure} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $\overline{k}$ be an algebraic closure of $k$ and $E$ be the set of intermediate | |||
| extensions $k \subseteq L \subseteq \overline{k}$ such that $L$ is real and algebraic over $k$. | |||
| $E \neq \emptyset$ since $k \in E$. Define $L_1 < L_2$ on $E$ if and only if | |||
| $L_1 \subseteq L_2$ and $L_2 / L_1$ is ordered, i.e. | |||
| the order relation on $L_1$ coincides with the on induced by $L_2$. | |||
| Then | |||
| every totally ordered familiy $(E_i)_{i \in I}$ has an upper bound, namely | |||
| $\bigcup_{i \in I} E_i$. By Zorn, $E$ has a maximal element, which we | |||
| denote by $k^{r}$ and which is an algebraic extension of $k$. Such | |||
| a $k^{r}$ is real-closed, because otherwise it would admit a proper real | |||
| algebraic extension contradicting the maximality of $k^{r}$ as a real algebraic extension of $k$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{definition}[] | |||
| A real-closed real algebraic extension of a real field $k$ is called | |||
| a \emph{real closure} of $k$. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| By the construction in the proof of \ref{satz:existence-alg-closure}, | |||
| a real closure of a real field $k$ can be chosen as a subfield | |||
| $k^{r}$ of an algebraic closure of $\overline{k}$. | |||
| Since $k^{r}[i]$ is algebraically closed and algebraic over $k^{r}$, so also over $k$, | |||
| it follows $k^{r}[i] = \overline{k}$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $k$ be a real field and $L$ be a real-closed extension of $k$. Let | |||
| $\overline{k}^{L}$ be the relative algebraic closure of $k$ in $L$, i.e. | |||
| \[ | |||
| \overline{k}^{L} = \{ x \in L \mid x \text{ algebraic over } k\} | |||
| .\] Then $\overline{k}^{L}$ is a real closure of $k$. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| It is immediate that $\overline{k}^{L}$ is a real algebraic extension of $k$. Let | |||
| $x \in \overline{k}^{L}$. Then $x$ or $-x$ is a square in $L$, since | |||
| $L$ is real-closed. Without loss of generality, assume that | |||
| $x \in L^{[2]}$. Then $t^2 - x \in \overline{k}^{L}[t]$ | |||
| has a root in $L$. Since this root is algebraic over $\overline{k}^{L}$, hence over $k$, | |||
| it belongs to $\overline{k}^{L}$. Thus $x$ is in fact a square in $\overline{k}^{L}$. By | |||
| the same argument every polynomial of odd degree has a root in $\overline{k}^{L}$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[] | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $\overline{\Q}^{\R} = \overline{\Q}^{\mathbb{C}} \cap \R$ | |||
| is a real closure of $\Q$. In particular, $\overline{\Q}^{\mathbb{C}} | |||
| = \overline{\Q}^{\R}[i]$ as subfields of $\mathbb{C}$. | |||
| \item Consider the real field $k = \R(t)$ and the real-closed extension | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \widehat{\R(t)} = | |||
| \bigcup_{q > 0} \R((t ^{t/q})) | |||
| .\end{salign*} Then the subfield | |||
| $\overline{\R(t)}^{\widehat{\R(t)}}$, consisting of all those real | |||
| Puiseux series that are algebraic over $\R(t)$, is a real closure of $\R(t)$. | |||
| The field of real Puiseux series itself is a real closure of the field $\R((t))$ | |||
| of real formal Laurent series. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{lemma} | |||
| Let $L_1, L_2$ be real-closed fields and let $\varphi\colon L_1 \to L_2$ be a homomorphism | |||
| of fields. Then $\varphi$ is compatible with the canonical orderings of $L_1$ and $L_2$. | |||
| \label{lemma:hom-real-closed-fields-respects-orderings} | |||
| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| It suffices to prove that $x \ge_{L_1} 0$ implies $\varphi(x) \ge_{L_2} 0$ | |||
| for all $x \in L_1$. This follows from the fact that in a real-closed field $L$, | |||
| for all $x \in L$, $x \ge 0$ if and only if $x$ is a square. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| If $k$ is a real field and $k^{r}$ is a real closure of $k$, then | |||
| $k$ inherits an ordering from $k^{r}$. However, different real closures may induce | |||
| different orderings on $k$, as the next example shows. | |||
| \begin{bsp}[] | |||
| \label{bsp:different-real-closures-depending-on-ordering} | |||
| Let $k = \Q(t)$. This is a real field, since $\Q$ is real. Since $\pi$ | |||
| is transcendental over $\Q$, we can embed $\Q(t)$ in $\R$ by sending $t$ to $\pi$. | |||
| \[ | |||
| i_1\colon \Q(t) \xhookrightarrow{\simeq} \Q(\pi) \subseteq \R | |||
| .\] Since $\R$ is real-closed, the relative algebraic closure | |||
| $i_1(\Q(t))^{\R}$ is a real closure of $i_1(\Q(t))$. | |||
| We can also embed $\Q(t)$ in the field $\widehat{\R(t)}$ of real Puiseux series via | |||
| a homomorphism $i_2$ and then | |||
| $\overline{i_2(\Q(t))}^{\widehat{\R(t)}}$ is a real closure of $i_2(\Q(t))$. | |||
| However, the ordering on $\overline{i_1(\Q(t))}^{\R}$ | |||
| is Archimedean, because it is a subfield of $\R$, | |||
| while the ordering on $\overline{i_2(\Q(t))}^{\widehat{\R(t)}}$ | |||
| is not Archimedean (it contains infinitesimal elements, such as $t$ for instance). | |||
| The fields $\overline{i_1(\Q(t))}^{\R}$ | |||
| and $\overline{i_2(\Q(t))}^{\widehat{\R(t)}}$ cannot be isomorphic as fields. | |||
| Indeed, when two real-closed fields $L_1, L_2$ are isomorphic as fields, | |||
| then they are isomorphic as ordered fields, since positivity on a real | |||
| closed field is defined by the condition of being a square, which is preserved | |||
| under isomorphisms of fields. | |||

| E \arrow[dashed, swap]{ur}{\varphi'} | |||
| \end{tikzcd} | |||
| .\] | |||
| \label{lemma:continuation-in-real-closed} | |||
| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Since $k$ is perfect, $E / k$ is separable. Moreover $E / k$ is finite, thus by the | |||
| primitive element theorem, $E = k[a]$ for $a \in E$. Let | |||
| $P \in k[t]$ be the minimal polynomial of $a$ over $k$. Let $E^{r}$ be | |||
| an orderable real-closure of $E$. Thus $E^{r}$ is | |||
| a real-closed extension of $k$ that contains a root of $P$. By | |||
| \ref{lemma:number-of-roots-in-real-closed-extension}, | |||
| $P$ has a root $b \in L$. Now | |||
| define $\psi\colon k[t] \to L$ by $t \mapsto b$ and | |||
| $\psi|_k = \varphi$. Since $b$ is a root of $P$, | |||
| $\psi$ factors through $E = k[a] = k / (P)$ and gives $\varphi'\colon E \to L$. | |||

| $X$ irreducible $\implies$ $X$ connected, but the converse is false: Let $k$ be infinite and | |||

| Since $x^2 - y^2 = (x-y)(x+y) = 0$ in $k$ | |||
| if and only if $x = -y$ or $x = y$, we have | |||

| \begin{theorem} | |||
| Let $V \subseteq k^{n}$ be an algebraic set. Then $V$ is irreducible in the Zariski | |||
| topology if and only if $\mathcal{I}(V)$ is a prime ideal in $k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$. | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| ($\Rightarrow$) Since $V \neq \emptyset$, | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(V) \subsetneq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$. | |||
| Let $P, Q \in k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ | |||
| such that $PQ \in \mathcal{I}(V)$. For $x \in V$, $(PQ)(x) = 0$ in $k$, hence | |||
| $P(x) = 0$ or $Q(x) = 0$. Thus $x \in \mathcal{V}(P) \cup \mathcal{V}(Q)$. Therefore | |||
| $V = (\mathcal{V}(P) \cap V) \cup (\mathcal{V}(Q) \cap V)$ is the union of | |||
| two closed subsets. Since $V$ is irreducible, | |||
| we may assume $V = \mathcal{V}(P) \cap V \subseteq \mathcal{V}(P)$, hence | |||
| $P \in \mathcal{I}(V)$ and $\mathcal{I}(V)$ is prime. | |||
| ($\Leftarrow$) $V \neq \emptyset$, since $\mathcal{I}(V)$ is a proper ideal. Let | |||
| $V = V_1 \cup V_2$ with $V_1, V_2$ closed in $V$. Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{I}(V) = \mathcal{I}(V_1 \cup V_2) = \mathcal{I}(V_1) \cap \mathcal{I}(V_2) | |||
| \supseteq \mathcal{I}(V_1) \mathcal{I}(V_2) | |||
| .\] By \ref{lemma:prime-avoidance}, we may assume | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(V_1) \subseteq \mathcal{I}(V)$. But then | |||
| \[ | |||
| V_1 = \mathcal{V}(\mathcal{I}(V_1)) \supseteq \mathcal{V}(\mathcal{I}(V)) = V | |||
| \] since $V_1$ and $V$ are closed. Therefore $V = V_1$ and $V$ is irreducible. | |||

| \begin{proof} | |||
| Since $k$ is infinite, $\mathcal{I}(k^{n}) = (0)$ by \ref{satz:k-infinite-everywhere-vanish} | |||

| \begin{theorem} | |||
| Let $V \subseteq k^{n}$ be an algebraic set. Then there exists a decomposition | |||

| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $V_i$ is a closed irreducible subset of $k^{n}$ for all $i$. | |||
| \item $V_{i} \not\subset V_j$ for all $i \neq j$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| This decomposition is unique up to permutations. | |||
| \label{thm:decomp-irred} | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{definition}[] | |||
| For an algebraic set $V \subseteq k^{n}$, the $V_i$'s in the decomposition | |||
| in \ref{thm:decomp-irred} are called the \emph{irreducible components} of $V$. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{proof}[Proof of \ref{thm:decomp-irred}] | |||
| Existence: Let $A$ be the set of algebraic sets $V \subseteq k^{n}$ that | |||
| admit no finite decomposition into a union of closed irreducible subsets. Assume | |||
| $A \neq \emptyset$. By noetherianity of $k^{n}$, | |||
| there exists a minimal element $V \in A$. In particular | |||
| $V$ is not irreducible, so $V = V_1 \cup V_2$ with $V_1, V_2 \subsetneq V$. By | |||
| minimality of $V$, $V_1, V_2 \not\in A$, thus they admit | |||
| a finite decomposition into a union of closed irreducible subsets. Since | |||
| $V = V_1 \cup V_2$, the same holds for $V$. Contradiction. Removing the | |||
| $V_i's$ for which $V_i \subseteq V_j$ for some $j$, we may assume that | |||
| $V_i \not\subset V_j$ for $i \neq j$. | |||
| Uniqueness: Assume that $V = V_1 \cup \ldots \cup V_r$ | |||
| and $V = W_1 \cup \ldots \cup W_s$ | |||
| are decompositions that satisfiy (i) and (ii). Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| W_1 = W_1 \cap V = (W_1 \cap V_1) \cup \ldots \cup (W_1 \cap V_r) | |||
| .\] Since $W_1$ is irreducible and $W_1 \cap V_i$ is closed in $W_1$, | |||
| there exists $j$ such that $W_1 = W_1 \cap V_j \subseteq V_j$. Likewise, | |||
| there exists $k$ such that $V_j \subseteq W_k$. Hence $W_1 \subseteq W_k$, | |||
| which forces $k = 1$ (because for $k \neq 1$, we have $W_1 \subsetneq W_k)$. Thus | |||
| $W_1 = V_j$ and we can repeat the procedure | |||
| with $W_2 \cup \ldots \cup W_s = \bigcup_{i \neq j} V_i$. | |||

| .\] The closed irreducible subset $\{(0, 0)\} $ lies in the intersection of | |||
| the irreducible components of $V$. | |||
| \item In view of the corollary \ref{cor:irred-sub-of-alg-set}, | |||
| theorem \ref{thm:decomp-irred} implies that an algebraic | |||

| \begin{korollar} | |||
| Let $V \subseteq k^{n}$ be an algebraic set. The irreducible components of $V$ | |||

| $V_j \subseteq W$ for some irreducible and closed subset $W \subseteq V$, again | |||
| by \ref{cor:irred-sub-of-alg-set} we have $W \subseteq V_i$ for some $i$, therefore | |||
| $V_j \subseteq V_i$ which implies $i = j$ and $V_j = W$. | |||

| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Uniqueness: Let $\varphi\colon k^{r} \to L$ be a homomorphism of $k$-algebras and | |||
| $a \in k^{r}$. Since $a$ is algebraic over $k$, it has | |||
| a minimal polynomial $P \in k[t]$ over $k$. Denote | |||
| by $a_1 \le \ldots \le a_n$ the roots of $P$ in $k^{r}$. Since | |||

| the irreducible polynomial $P$ is separable and thus | |||
| $a_1 < \ldots < a_n$. Now there exists a unique $1, \ldots, n$ such that | |||
| $a = a_j$. By \ref{lemma:number-of-roots-in-real-closed-extension}, the polynomial | |||
| $P$ also has $n$ distinct roots $b_1 < \ldots < b_n$ in the real-closed field $L$. | |||
| Since $\varphi$ sends roots of $P$ in $k^{r}$ to roots of $P$ in $L$, there is a | |||
| permutation $\sigma \in S_n$ such that | |||
| $\varphi(a_i) = b_{\sigma(i)}$. By \ref{lemma:hom-real-closed-fields-respects-orderings}, | |||
| $\varphi$ respects the ordering of the roots and thus $\sigma = \text{id}$ | |||
| and $\varphi(a) = \varphi(a_j) = b_j$. | |||
| Existence: Consider the set $\mathcal{F}$ of all pairs | |||
| $(E, \psi)$ where $k \subseteq E \subseteq k^{r}$ is a subextension | |||
| of $k^{r} / k$ and $\psi\colon E \to L$ is a homomorphism of $k$-algebras. Since | |||

| E \arrow[dashed]{ur} \arrow{r}{\psi} & L | |||
| \end{tikzcd} | |||
| \] in the category of $k$-algebras. Then by Zorn, the set | |||
| $\mathcal{F}$ admits a maximal element $(E, \psi)$. $E$ is real-closed, otherwise | |||
| it admits a finite real extension $E'$ of $E$. In particular $E' \subseteq k^{r}$. | |||
| Since $L$ is real-closed, $\psi\colon E \to L$ admits a continuation | |||
| $\psi'\colon E' \to L$ by \ref{lemma:continuation-in-real-closed}. | |||
| Thus $(E, \psi) < (E', \psi')$ contradicting the | |||
| maximality of $(E, \psi)$. Hence $E$ is real-closed | |||
| and $k^{r} / E$ is real algebraic, thus $E = k^{r}$. So | |||

| \section{Counting real roots} | |||
| In this section, we will study \emph{Sturm's method} of counting | |||
| the number of roots of a separable polynomial with coefficients | |||
| in a real-closed field $L$. | |||
| \begin{lemma} | |||
| Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field and let $P \in k[t]$ be a separable polynomial. | |||
| Assume that $P$ has a root $a \in k$. Then there exists $\delta > 0$ such that | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item for $x \in \;]a- \delta, a + \delta[$ and $x \neq a$, $P(x) \neq 0$. | |||
| \item for $x \in \;]a, a + \delta[$, $P(x)$ and $P'(x)$ have the same sign. | |||
| \item for $x \in \;]a- \delta, a[$, $P(x)$ and $P'(x)$ have opposite signs. | |||
| \item for $x \in \;]0, \delta[$, $P(a+h)$ and $P(a-h)$ have opposite signs. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \label{lemma:root-signs-separable} | |||
| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Since $P$ is separable and $P(a) = 0$, it follows that $P'(a) \neq 0$. | |||
| By continuity of $P'$, there exists $\delta > 0$ such that | |||
| $P'$ has constant sign on $] a- \delta, a + \delta[$. Suppose $P'(x) > 0$. | |||
| Since $k$ is real-closed, | |||
| this implies that $P$ is strictly increasing on this interval. In particular, | |||
| $P(x) < P(a) = 0$ for $x \in \;]a - \delta, a[$ | |||
| and $P(x) > P(a) = 0$ for $x \in \;]a, a + \delta[$. The case $P'(x) < 0$ is | |||
| similar which concludes the proof. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| Let $(k, \le )$ be an ordered field. A finite sequence $(P_0, \ldots, P_n)$ of polynomials | |||
| $P_i \in k[t]$ is called a \emph{Sturm sequence} if it satisfies the following | |||
| properties: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $P_1 = P_0'$ | |||
| \item for all $x \in k$ and $i \in \{0, \ldots, n\}$, if $P_i(x) = 0$, then | |||
| $P_{i+1}(x) \neq 0$. | |||
| \item for all $x \in k$ and all $i \in \{1, \ldots, n-1\} $, | |||
| if $P_i(x) = 0$ then $P_{i-1}(x) P_{i+1}(x) < 0$. | |||
| \item $P_n \in k^{\times}$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \noindent If $P \in k[t]$ is separable and $k$ has characteristic $0$, then the greatest | |||
| common divisor of $P$ and $P'$ is $1$. To determine a Bézout relation between $P$ and $P'$, | |||
| one proceeds by successive Euclidean divisions: | |||
| First set $P_0 = P$ and $P_1 = P'$, next define $P_2$ such that $P_0 = P_1 Q_1 - P_2$ | |||
| and $\text{deg}(P_2) < \text{deg}(P_1)$. Inductively, this | |||
| defines $P_i = P_{i+1} Q_{i+1} - P_{i+2}$ with $\text{deg}(P_{i+2}) < \text{deg}(P_{i+1})$. | |||
| This algorithm stops after at most $\text{deg}(P_0) $ steps | |||
| with $P_{n-1} = P_n Q_n$ and $P_n \neq 0$. | |||
| Then $P_n$ is a greatest common divisor of $P = P_0$ and $P' = P_1$. Since $P$ and | |||
| $P'$ are coprime, $P_n$ is a non-zero constant. | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| The sequence of polynomials $(P_0, \ldots, P_n)$ is a Sturm sequence. | |||
| This is called the to $P$ associated Sturm sequence. | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| (i) and (iv) are clear. For (ii) observe that if there exists $x \in k$ and | |||
| $i \in \{0, \ldots, n\} $ such that $P_i(x) = P_{i+1}(x) = 0$, then | |||
| $P_j(x) = 0$ for all $j \ge i$ which contradicts $P_n(x) = P_n \neq 0$. | |||
| Finally for (iii), if $P_i(x) = 0$, then $P_{i-1}(x) = - P_{i+1}(x)$, so $P_{i-1}(x)$ | |||
| and $P_{i+1}(x)$ have opposite signs. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field. | |||
| For a finite sequence of elements $(a_0, \ldots, a_n)$ in $k$ with $a_0 \neq 0$, | |||
| the number of \emph{sign changes} in this sequence is the number of pairs | |||
| $(i, j)$ such that $i < j$, $a_i \neq 0$ and $a_i a_j < 0$ with either $j = i+1$ or | |||
| $j > i+1$ and $a_{i+1} = \ldots = a_{j-1} = 0$. | |||

| $[a, b]$ is equal to $\nu(a) - \nu(b)$. | |||
| \label{thm:sturm} | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $x_1 < \ldots < x_m$ be the elements of the finite set | |||
| \[ | |||
| E = \{ x \in \; ]a, b[ \mid \exists i \in \{0, \ldots, n\} , P_i(x) = 0\} | |||
| .\] | |||
| %For all $x \in E$, we can choose $\delta > 0$ such that | |||
| %$] x - \delta, x + \delta[ \cap E = \{x\} $, i.e. | |||
| %$]x - \delta , x + \delta [$ contains no other root of one of the $P_i$'s. | |||
| There exists a partition of $[a,b]$ in subintervals | |||
| $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}]$ where $\alpha_0 = a$, $\alpha_m = b$, | |||
| and for all $j \in \{0, \ldots, m-1\} $, $\alpha_j \not\in E$, | |||
| $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}] \cap E = \{x_j\} $. | |||
| Also | |||
| \[ | |||
| \sum_{j=0}^{m-1} (\nu(\alpha_j) - \nu(\alpha_{j+1})) | |||
| = \nu(\alpha_0) - \nu(\alpha_1) + \nu(\alpha_1) - \ldots - \nu(\alpha_m) | |||
| = \nu(a) - \nu(b) | |||
| .\] Thus it suffices to show that for fixed $j \in \{0, \ldots, m-1\}$, the number of roots | |||
| of $P$ in $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}]$ is equal to $\nu(\alpha_j) - \nu(\alpha_{j+1})$. | |||
| By construction, | |||
| $P$ has at most one root in $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}]$, at $x_j$, thus | |||
| we want to show | |||
| \[ | |||
| \nu(\alpha_j) - \nu(\alpha_{j+1}) = \begin{cases} | |||
| 0 & P(x_j) \neq 0 \\ | |||
| 1 & P(x_j) = 0 | |||
| \end{cases} | |||
| .\] | |||
| If $P(x_j) = 0$, then $P(\alpha_j)$ and $P(\alpha_{j+1})$ must have opposite sign. Indeed, | |||
| by \ref{lemma:root-signs-separable} $P(x_j + h) P(x_j - h) < 0$ for all $h > 0$ small | |||
| enough, but $P$ cannot change sign on $[\alpha_j, x_j -h]$ nor on | |||
| $[x_j + h, \alpha_{j+1}]$, for otherwise the intermediate value theorem would | |||
| imply the existence of a root $x \neq x_j$ in $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}]$. | |||
| So $P(\alpha_j) P(\alpha_{j+1}) < 0$. | |||
| If $P(\alpha_j) > 0$, then $P(\alpha_{j+1}) < 0$. With $P_1 = P'$ and | |||
| \ref{lemma:root-signs-separable}, it follows that $P_1(x) < 0$ for | |||
| $x$ close to $x_j$. But $P_1$ cannot change sign in $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}]$, | |||
| otherwise its root in that interval would be $x_j$. Since $P$ is separable | |||
| and $P_1 = P'$, this is impossible. Thus $P' < 0$ | |||
| and $P$ is strictly decreasing on $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}]$. So | |||
| the sequence of signs in the sequence | |||
| $(P_0(\alpha_j), P_1(\alpha_j), \ldots, P_n(\alpha_j))$ starts | |||
| with $(+, -, \ldots)$ while the one at $\alpha_{j+1}$ starts | |||
| with $(-, -, \ldots)$. Similarly, if $P(\alpha_j) < 0$, then | |||
| the sequences are $(-, +, \ldots)$ and $(+, +, \ldots)$. In either case, | |||
| there is one more sign change in the sequence corresponding to $\alpha_j$, | |||
| so $\nu(\alpha_j) - \nu(\alpha_{j+1}) = 1$. | |||
| Now suppose $P(x_j) \neq 0$. Observe that $P_0(\alpha_j)$ and | |||
| $P_0(\alpha_{j+1})$ have the same sign, otherwise by the intermediate value theorem | |||
| and the construction, $P_0(x_j) = 0$. Also a difference between | |||
| $\nu(\alpha_j)$ and $\nu(\alpha_{j+1})$ only occurs if there exists | |||
| $i \in \{0, \ldots, n-1\} $ such that $P_i(\alpha_j) P_i(\alpha_{j+1}) < 0$. In this | |||
| case, again by the intermediate value theorem, we have $P_i(x_j) = 0$. By the definition | |||
| of a Sturm sequence, we have $P_{i-1}(x_j)P_{i+1}(x_j) < 0$. If $P_{i-1}(x_j) < 0$ | |||
| then $P_{i-1} < 0$ on $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}]$, because $x_j$ is | |||
| the only possible root for $P_{i-1}$ in $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}]$, | |||
| so $P_{i-1}$ cannot change sign on that interval. Likewise, | |||
| $P_{i+1}$ has the same sign on $[\alpha_j, \alpha_{j+1}]$ as it does at $x_j$. Proceeding | |||
| similarly when $P_{i-1}(x_j) > 0$, we arrive at the following possibilities | |||
| for the sign sequences of $P_{i-1}(\alpha_j) P_i(\alpha_j)P_{i+1}(\alpha_j)$ | |||
| and $P_{i-1}(\alpha_{j+1})P_i(\alpha_{j+1})P_{i+1}(\alpha_{j+1})$: | |||

| Since sign sequences located in cells of the two tables corresponding to the same case have | |||
| the same number of sign changes, equal to $1$, we see that | |||
| $\nu(\alpha_{j}) - \nu(\alpha_{j+1}) = 0$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| We deduce from the previous result, this important result: | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| Let $(k, \le )$ be an ordered field and let $L_1, L_2$ be real-closed, orderable extensions | |||
| of $k$. Let $P \in k[t]$ be an irreducible polynomial over $k$. Then $P$ has the same | |||
| number of roots in $L_1$ as it does in $L_2$. | |||
| \label{lemma:number-of-roots-in-real-closed-extension} | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| For a polynomial $Q = c_n t^{n} + c_{n-1} t ^{n-1} + \ldots + c_0 \in k[t]$ with | |||
| $c_n \neq 0$, the roots | |||
| of $Q$ in an ordered real-closed extension $L$ of $k$ are bounded by | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| M | |||
| = 1 + \left| \frac{c_{n-1}}{c_n} \right|_L + \ldots + \left| \frac{c_0}{c_n} \right|_L | |||
| = 1 + \left| \frac{c_{n-1}}{c_n} \right|_k + \ldots + \left| \frac{c_0}{c_n} \right|_k | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Note that $M$ is independent from $L$. | |||
| So given $P \in k[t]$ irreducible and the associated Sturm sequence | |||
| $(P_0, P_1, \ldots, P_n)$, there exists $M \in k$ such that all roots | |||
| of all $P_i$'s in $L$ are contained in the interval $[-M, M] \subseteq L$. Since | |||
| $\text{char } k = 0$, $P$ is separable, by \ref{thm:sturm} | |||
| the number of roots of $P$ in $[-M, M] \subseteq L$ is equal | |||
| to $\nu(-M) - \nu(M)$. Since $\pm M \in k$, | |||
| all $P_i \in k[t]$ and the ordering of $L$ extends the one of $k$, the number | |||
| of sign changes $\nu(\pm M)$ in the sequences | |||
| $(P_0(-M), P_1(-M), \ldots, P_n(-M))$ | |||
| and $(P_0(M), P_1(M), \ldots, P_n(M))$ does not depend on $L$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item | |||
| In particular, if $P \in k[t]$ is an arbitrary polynomial, then if $P$ has a root | |||
| in a real-closed extension $L$ of $k$, then it has a root in all real-closed extensions of $k$. | |||
| A polynomial with coefficients in an ordered field $(k, \le)$ might not have roots | |||
| in any real-closed extensions of $k$. | |||
| \item | |||
| There is a proof of Sturm's algorithm that does not require $P$ to | |||
| be separable. As a consequence \ref{lemma:number-of-roots-in-real-closed-extension} | |||
| holds for all $P \in k[t]$, not only the irreducible ones. | |||

| \section{The real Nullstellensatz} | |||
| When $k$ is algebraically closed, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz implies | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(I)) = \sqrt{I}$ for all ideal | |||
| $I \subseteq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$. In this section we try to compute | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(I))$ when $k$ is a real-closed field. | |||
| \begin{definition}[] | |||
| Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field and let $A$ be a commutative $k$-algebra with unit. | |||
| An ideal $I \subseteq A$ is called a \emph{real ideal} if it satisfies the following condition: If | |||
| $\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_r > 0$ in $k$ and $a_1, \ldots, a_r \in A$ satisfy | |||
| \[ | |||
| \sum_{j=1}^{r} \lambda_j a_j^2 \in I | |||
| ,\] then $a_j \in I$ for all $j$. | |||
| $A$ is a \emph{real algebra} if the zero ideal in $A$ is | |||
| a real ideal. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field and let $Z \subseteq k^{n}$ be a subset. Then the ideal | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(Z)$ is a real ideal. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| If $Z = \emptyset$, then $\mathcal{I}(Z) = \mathcal{I}(\emptyset) = k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ is | |||
| a real ideal. Now assume $Z \neq \emptyset$. In this case, if $P_1, \ldots, P_r \in k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ | |||
| and $\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_r > 0$ in $k$ are such that | |||
| $\sum_{j=1}^{r} \lambda_j P_j^2 \in \mathcal{I}(Z)$, then | |||
| for all $x \in Z$, $\sum_{j=1}^{r} \lambda_j P_j^2(x) = 0$ in $k$. Since | |||
| $k$ is an ordered field and $\lambda_j > 0$ for all $j$, this implies | |||
| that for all $j$, $P_j(x) = 0$, i.e. $P_j \in \mathcal{I}(Z)$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| Recall that if $k$ is an arbitrary field and $I \subsetneq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ is a proper ideal, | |||
| then finding a common zero $x \in L^{n}$ to all polynomials $P \in I$ for some extension $L$ of $k$ | |||
| is equivalent to finding a homomorphism of $k$-algebras | |||
| \[ | |||
| \varphi\colon k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]/I \longrightarrow L | |||
| .\] Indeed, the correspondence is obtained by sending such a $\varphi$ | |||
| to $x = (x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ where $x_i = \varphi(T_i \text{ mod } I)$. The basic | |||
| result should be about giving sufficient conditions for such homomorphisms to exist. | |||
| \begin{theorem}[Real Nullstellensatz I] | |||
| Let $(k, \le )$ be an ordered field and let $k^{(r)}$ be the real closure of $k$. Let | |||
| $I \subseteq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ be a real ideal. Then there exists a homomorphism | |||
| of $k$-algebras | |||
| \[ | |||
| k[T_1, \ldots, T_n] / I \longrightarrow k^{(r)} | |||
| .\] In particular, if $I \subsetneq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ is a proper real ideal, then | |||
| $\mathcal{V}_{k^{r}}(I) \neq \emptyset$. | |||
| \label{thm:real-nullstellensatz} | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| Let $(k, \le)$ be an ordered field. For the proof of \ref{thm:real-nullstellensatz}, we need | |||
| two lemmata: | |||
| \begin{lemma} | |||
| Let $I \subseteq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ be a real ideal. Then $\sqrt{I} = I$. Moreover, | |||
| if $\mathfrak{p} \supset I$ is a minimal prime ideal containing $I$, then | |||
| $\mathfrak{p}$ is real. | |||
| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{lemma} | |||
| Let $\mathfrak{p} \subseteq k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ be a prime ideal. Then the fraction field | |||
| \[ | |||

| \] is a real field if and only if the prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ is real. In that case | |||
| $K$ can be ordered in a way that extends the order of $k$. | |||

| The polynomial | |||

| \item \ref{thm:plane-curve-ivf=f} does not hold in this form for hypersurfaces of $k^{n}$ for $n \ge 3$. | |||
| For instance, the polynomial | |||
| \[ | |||

| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}(f) = \{ (0, y, 0)\colon y \in \R\} \cup \{(x, 0, 0)\colon x \in \R\} | |||

| For an integral domain $R$ denote by $Q(R)$ its fraction field. If $R$ is a factorial ring then | |||
| $q \in R[T]$ is called \emph{primitve} if it is non-constant and its | |||

| Let $h = \frac{a}{b} \in Q(R)[X]$ be a common irreducible factor of $f$ and $g$ with | |||

| may assume $a$ irreducible. Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| \frac{f}{1} = \frac{p_1}{q_1} \frac{a}{b} \text{ and } \frac{g}{1} = \frac{p_2}{q_2} \frac{a}{b} | |||
| \] for some $p_1, p_2 \in R[X]$ and $q_1, q_2 \in R \setminus 0$. | |||
| So $p_1 a = f q_1 b$ and $p_2 a = g q_2 b$. $a$ neither divides $q_1$, $q_2$ nor $b$, for otherwise | |||
| $a \in R \setminus 0$ by the degree formula for polynomials and $h$ is a unit. | |||
| Since $a$ divides $fq_1 b$ and | |||
| $g q_2 b$ and, since $R[X]$ is factorial, $a$ is prime in $R[X]$ and thus | |||

| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| %\begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| %\item Claim: $f$ and $g$ have no common factors in $k(x)[y]$. Indeed, if | |||
| % $h(x,y) = \frac{H(x,y)}{L(x)} \in k(x)[y]$ is a common irreducible factor of $f$ and $g$, | |||
| % then we may assume $H$ and $L$ coprime in $k[x,y]$, with $L$ irreducible in $k[x]$ | |||
| % and $H$ irreducible in $k[x,y]$. Thus we can write | |||
| % \begin{salign*} | |||
| % f(x,y) &= \frac{A(x,y)}{M(x)} \frac{H(x,y)}{L(x)} | |||
| % \intertext{and} | |||
| % g(x,y) &= \frac{B(x,y)}{N(x)} \frac{H(x,y)}{L(x)} | |||
| % \end{salign*} | |||
| % with $A$ and $M$ coprime, as well as $B$ and $N$ coprime in $k[x,y]$. | |||
| % So $A(x,y) H(x,y) = M(x) L(x) f(x,y)$ | |||
| % and $B(x,y) H(x,y) = N(x) L(x) g(x,y)$. | |||
| % But $H(x,y)$ cannot divide $L(x), M(x)$ nor $N(x)$ in $k[x,y]$, for otherwise | |||
| % $H(x,y) \in k[x]$, making $h(x,y) = \frac{H(x,y)}{L(x)}$ a unit in $k(x)[y]$. But | |||
| % $H(x,y)$ is irreducible in $k[x,y]$ and divides both $M(x)L(x)f(x,y)$ and | |||
| % $N(x)L(x)g(x,y)$, so $H(x,y)$ divides $f(x,y)$ and $g(x,y)$ in $k[x,y]$. Contradiction. | |||
| %\item | |||
| Since $k(x)[y]$ is a principal ideal domain, \ref{satz:coprime-in-r-is-coprime-in-qr} implies | |||
| $(f,g) = k(x)[y]$, hence the existence of $A(x,y), B(x,y), M(x), N(x)$ such that | |||
| \[ | |||
| f(x,y) A(x,y) + g(x,y) B(x,y) = \underbrace{M(x) N(x)}_{=: D(x)} | |||
| \] with $D(x) \in k[x]$. Since a common zero $(x,y)$ of $f$ and $g$ gives a zero of | |||
| $D$, and $D$ has finitely many zeros, there are only finitely many $x$ such that | |||
| $(x,y)$ is a zero of both $f$ and $g$. But, for fixed $x \in k$, the polynomial | |||
| \[ | |||
| y \mapsto f(x,y) - g(x,y) | |||
| \] has only finitely many zeros in $k$. So $\mathcal{V}(f) \cap \mathcal{V}(g)$ is finite. | |||

| \begin{proof}[Proof of \ref{thm:plane-curve-ivf=f}] | |||
| Let $f \in k[x,y]$ be irreducible such that $\mathcal{V}(f) \subseteq k^2$ is infinite. | |||
| Since $f \in \mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(f))$, it suffices to show that | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(f)) \subseteq (f)$. | |||
| Let | |||
| $g \in \mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(f))$. Then $\mathcal{V}(f) \subseteq \mathcal{V}(g)$. Thus | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}(f) \cap \mathcal{V}(g) = \mathcal{V}(f) | |||
| \] which is infinite by assumption. Thus by \ref{lemma:coprime-finite-zero-locus}, | |||
| $f$ and $g$ have a common factor. Since $f$ is irreducible, this implies that $f \mid g$, i.e. | |||
| $g \in (f)$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||

| $\mathcal{V}(P_i)$ are the irreducible components of $\mathcal{V}(P)$. | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Note that | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}(P) = \mathcal{V}(P_1^{n_1} \cdots P_r^{n_r}) = \mathcal{V}(P_1) \cup \ldots \cup \mathcal{V}(P_r) | |||
| .\] Since $P_i$ is irreducible and $\mathcal{V}(P_i)$ is infinite for all $i$, | |||
| by \ref{thm:plane-curve-ivf=f} $\mathcal{V}(P_i)$ is irreducible and for $i \neq j$ | |||
| $\mathcal{V}(P_i) \not\subset \mathcal{V}(P_j)$, for otherwise | |||
| \[ | |||
| (P_i) = \mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(P_i)) \supset \mathcal{I} (\mathcal{V}(P_j)) = (P_j) | |||
| \] which is impossible for distinct irreducible elements $P_i, P_j$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[Real plane cubics] | |||
| Let $P(x,y) = y^2 - f(x)$ with $\text{deg}_xf = 3$ in $k[x]$. Since $\text{deg}_y P \ge 1 $ | |||
| and the leading coefficient of $P$ is $1$, the polynomial $P$ is primitive in $k[x][y]$. | |||
| It is reducible in $k(x)[y]$ if and only if there exists $a(x), b(x) \in k(x)$ such that | |||
| $(y-a)(y-b) = y^2 - f$, i.e. $b = -a$ and $f = a^2$ in $k(x)$, therefore also in $k[x]$. | |||
| Since $\text{deg}_xf = 3 $, this cannot happen. So, $P$ is irreducible | |||
| by \ref{satz:gauss}. | |||
| Moreover, when $k = \R$, the | |||
| cubic polynomial $f(x)$ takes on an infinite number of positive values, | |||
| so $\mathcal{V}(y^2 - f(x)) = \mathcal{V}(P)$ is infinite. In conclusion, | |||
| real cubics of the form $y^2 - f(x) = 0$ are irreducible algebraic sets in $\R^2$ | |||
| by \ref{thm:plane-curve-ivf=f}. | |||

| Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and let $P \in k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ be a non-constant polynomial | |||
| with $n \ge 2$. Then $\mathcal{V}(P)$ is infinite. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Since $P$ is non-constant, we may assume that $\text{deg}_{x_1} P \ge 1$. Write | |||
| \[ | |||
| P(T_1, \ldots, T_n) = \sum_{i=1}^{d} g_i(T_2, \ldots, T_n) T_1^{i} | |||
| ,\] | |||
| with $d \ge 1$ and $g_d \neq 0$. Then $D_{k^{n-1}}(g_d)$ is infinite: Since $g_d \neq 0$ and | |||
| $k$ infinite, it is non-empty. Thus let $(a_2, \ldots, a_n) \in k^{n-1}$ such that | |||
| $g_d(a) \neq 0$. Then $g_d(ta) = g_d(ta_2, \ldots, ta_n) \in k[t]$ is a non-zero polynomial and thus | |||
| has only finitely many zeros in $k$. In particular $D_{k^{n-1}}(g_d)$ is infinite. | |||
| For $(a_2, \ldots, a_{n-1}) \in D_{k^{n-1}}(g_d)$, $P(T_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n) \in k[T_1]$ is non-constant | |||
| and thus has a root $a_1$ in the algebraically closed field $k$. Hence | |||
| $(a_1, \ldots, a_n) \in \mathcal{V}(P)$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| We finally give a complete classification of irreducible algebraic sets in the affine plane $k^2$ for | |||
| an infinite field $k$. | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $k$ be an infinite field. Then the irreducible algebraic subsets of $k^2$ are: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item the whole affine plane $k^2$ | |||
| \item single points $\{ (a, b) \} \subseteq k^2$ | |||
| \item infinite algebraic sets defined by an irreducible polynomial $f \in k[x,y]$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \label{satz:classification-irred-alg-subsets-plane} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $V \subseteq k^2$ be an irreducible algebraic subset of the affine plane. If $V$ is finite, | |||
| it reduces to a point. So we may assume $V$ infinite. If $\mathcal{I}(V) = (0)$, then $V = k^2$. | |||
| Otherwise, there is a non-constant polynomial $P \in k[x,y]$ such that $P$ vanishes on $V$. Since | |||
| $V$ is irreducible, $\mathcal{I}(V)$ is prime, so it contains an irreducible factor $f$ of $P$. | |||
| Let $g \in \mathcal{I}(V)$. Then $V \subseteq \mathcal{V}(f) \cap \mathcal{V}(g)$, but since | |||
| $V$ is infinite, $f$ and $g$ must have a common factor. By irreducibility of $f$, it follows | |||
| $f \mid g$, i.e. $g \in (f)$. Hence $\mathcal{I}(V) = (f)$ and $V = \mathcal{V}(f)$. | |||

| \section{Prime ideals in $k[x,y]$} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $A$ be a principal ideal domain. Let $\mathfrak{p} \subseteq A[X]$ be a prime ideal. Then | |||
| $\mathfrak{p}$ satisfies exactly one of the following three mutually exclusive possibilities: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $\mathfrak{p} = (0)$ | |||
| \item $\mathfrak{p} = (f)$, where $f \in A[X]$ is irreducible | |||
| \item $\mathfrak{p} = (a, q)$, where $a \in A$ is irreducible and | |||
| $q \in A[X]$ such that its reduction modulo $a A$ is an irreducible element | |||
| in $A / aA [X]$. In this case, $\mathfrak{p}$ is a maximal ideal. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \label{thm:class-prim-pol-pid} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $\mathfrak{p} \subseteq A[X]$ be a prime ideal. If $\mathfrak{p}$ is principal, then | |||
| $\mathfrak{p} = (f)$ for some $f \in A[X]$. If $f = 0$, we are done. Otherwise, | |||
| since $A[X]$ is factorial by Gauß and $\mathfrak{p}$ is prime, $f$ is irreducible. | |||
| Let now $\mathfrak{p}$ not be principal. Then there exist $f, g \in \mathfrak{p}$ without | |||
| common factors in $A[X]$. By \ref{satz:coprime-in-r-is-coprime-in-qr}, they | |||
| also have no common factors in the principal ideal domain $Q(A)[X]$, so | |||
| $Mf + Ng = 1$ for some $M, N \in Q(A)[X]$. By multiplying with the denominators, we obtain | |||
| $Pf + Qg = b$ for some $b \in A$ and $P, Q \in A[X]$. So $b \in (f, g) \subseteq \mathfrak{p}$, | |||
| thus there is an irreducible factor $a$ of $b$ in $A$ such that $a \in \mathfrak{p}$. | |||
| Moreover, $a A[X] \subsetneq \mathfrak{p}$ since $\mathfrak{p}$ is not principal. Now consider | |||
| the prime ideal | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathfrak{p} / a A[X] \subset A[X]/aA[X] \simeq \left( A / aA \right)[X] | |||
| .\] Since $A$ is a PID and $a$ is irreducible, $A/aA$ is a field and $(A / aA)[X]$ a PID. | |||
| So $\mathfrak{p}/aA[X]$ is generated by an irreducible element $\overline{q} \in (A/aA)[X]$ | |||
| for some $q \in A[X]$. Thus $\mathfrak{p} = (a, q)$. Moreover | |||
| \[ | |||
| \faktor{A[X]}{\mathfrak{p}} \simeq | |||
| \faktor{\left(\faktor{A}{aA}\right)[X]}{\left(\faktor{\mathfrak{p}}{aA}\right)[X]} | |||
| = | |||
| \faktor{\left( \faktor{A}{aA} \right)[X] } | |||
| {\overline{q} \left( \faktor{A}{aA} \right)[X] } | |||
| \] which is a field since $\left( \faktor{A}{aA} \right)[X]$ is a PID. So $\mathfrak{p}$ is maximal in | |||
| $A[X]$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| Using \ref{thm:class-prim-pol-pid} we can give a simple proof for the classification of maximal ideals | |||
| of $k[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$ when $k$ is algebraically closed and $n=2$. | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| If $k$ is algebraically closed, a maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ of $k[x,y]$ is of the form | |||
| $\mathfrak{m} = (x-a, y-b)$ with $(a, b) \in k^2$. In particular, principal ideals are never maximal. | |||
| \label{kor:max-ideals-alg-closed-k2} | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Since $\mathfrak{m}$ is maximal, it is prime and $\mathfrak{m} \neq (0)$. By | |||
| \ref{thm:class-prim-pol-pid}, $\mathfrak{m} = (P, f)$ | |||
| with $P \in k[x]$ irreducible and $f \in k[x,y]$ such that | |||
| its image $\overline{f}$ in $(k[x]/(P))[y]$ is irreducible or | |||
| $\mathfrak{m} = (f)$ for $f \in k[x,y]$ irreducible. | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(1)] | |||
| \item $\mathfrak{m} = (P, f)$. Since $k$ is algebraically closed and $P \in k[x]$ is irreducible, | |||
| $P = x - a$ for some $a \in k$. | |||
| \[ | |||
| k[x]/(P) = k[x]/(x-a) \simeq k | |||
| .\] Since $\overline{f} \in k[y]$ is also irreducible, $\overline{f} = y - b$ for some $b \in k$. | |||
| \item $\mathfrak{m} = (f)$. Since $k = \overline{k}$, $\mathcal{V}(f)$ is infinite, in particular | |||
| $\mathcal{V}(f) \neq \emptyset$. Then if $(a,b) \in \mathcal{V}(f)$, | |||
| \[ | |||
| (x-a, y-b) = \mathcal{I}(\{(a, b)\}) | |||
| \supset \mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(f)) \supset (f) | |||
| .\] Since $(f)$ is maximal, it follows that $(f) = (x-a, y-b)$, which is impossible since | |||
| $x -a $ and $y-b$ habe no common factors in $k[x,y]$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| The ideal $(x^2 + 1, y)$ is maximal in $\R[x,y]$ and is not of the form $(x-a, y-b)$ for $(a,b) \in \R^2$. | |||
| Indeed, | |||
| \[ | |||
| \faktor{\R[x,y]}{(x^2 + 1, y)} | |||
| \simeq | |||
| \faktor{\left( \R[y]/y\R[y] \right)[x]}{(x^2 + 1)} | |||

| \begin{satz}[] | |||
| Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Then the maps $V \mapsto \mathcal{I}(V)$ | |||
| and $I \mapsto \mathcal{V}(I)$ induce a bijection | |||

| \{ \text{irreducible algebraic subsets of } k^2\} | |||

| \text{ with } f \text{ irreducible} \\ | |||
| k^2 &\longleftrightarrow (0) | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| \label{satz:correspondence-irred-subsets-prime-ideals} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $V \subseteq k^2$ be an irreducible algebraic set. By | |||
| \ref{satz:classification-irred-alg-subsets-plane} we | |||
| can distinguish the following cases: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item If $V = k^2$, then $\mathcal{I}(V) = (0)$ since $k$ is infinite and | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(0)) = (0)$. | |||
| \item If $V = \{(a,b)\} $, then $\mathcal{I}(V) \supset (x-a, y-b) \eqqcolon \mathfrak{m} $. Since | |||
| $\mathfrak{m}$ is maximal, $\mathcal{I}(V) = \mathfrak{m}$. Since $V = \mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{m})$, | |||
| this also shows $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{m})) = \mathfrak{m}$. | |||
| \item If $V = \mathcal{V}(f)$ where $f \in k[x,y]$ is irreducible, | |||
| then by \ref{thm:plane-curve-ivf=f} $\mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(f)) = (f)$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| So, every irreducible algebraic set $V \subseteq k^2$ is of the form | |||
| $\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{p})$ for some prime ideal $\mathfrak{p} \subseteq k[x,y]$. Moreover, | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{p})) = \mathfrak{p} | |||
| .\] | |||
| Let now $\mathfrak{p}$ be a prime ideal in $k[x,y]$. By \ref{thm:class-prim-pol-pid} we can dinstiguish | |||
| the following cases: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $\mathfrak{p} = (0)$: Then $\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{p}) = k^2$ and | |||
| since $k$ is infinite, $k^2$ is irreducible. | |||
| \item $\mathfrak{p}$ maximal: Then by \ref{kor:max-ideals-alg-closed-k2}, | |||
| $\mathfrak{p} = (x-a, y-b)$ for some $(a, b) \in k^2$. So $\mathcal{V}(m) = \{(a, b)\}$ | |||
| is irreducible. | |||
| \item $\mathfrak{p} = (f)$ with $f \in k[x,y]$ irreducible. Since $k = \overline{k}$, | |||
| $\mathcal{V}(f)$ is infinite and hence by \ref{thm:plane-curve-ivf=f} irreducible. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| Thus the maps in the proposition are well-defined, mutually inverse and induce the stated | |||
| correspondences. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| Assume that $k$ is algebraically closed and let $\mathfrak{p} \subseteq k[x,y]$ be a prime ideal. | |||
| Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathfrak{p} = \bigcap_{\mathfrak{m} \; \mathrm{maximal}, \mathfrak{m} \supset \mathfrak{p}} | |||
| \mathfrak{m} | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| If $\mathfrak{p}$ is maximal, there is nothing to prove. If $\mathfrak{p} = (0)$, $\mathfrak{p}$ | |||
| is contained in $(x-a, y-b)$ for $(a, b) \in k^2$. Since $k$ is infinite, the intersection | |||
| of these ideals is $(0)$. Otherwise, by \ref{satz:correspondence-irred-subsets-prime-ideals}, | |||
| $\mathfrak{p} = (f)$ for some $f \in k[x,y]$ irreducible. Then, since $k = \overline{k}$, | |||
| $\mathcal{V}(f)$ is infinite and with \ref{thm:plane-curve-ivf=f}: | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathfrak{p} = (f) = \mathcal{I}(\mathcal{V}(f)) | |||
| = \mathcal{I}\left( \bigcup_{(a, b) \in \mathcal{V}(f)} \{(a, b)\} \right) | |||
| \supset \bigcap_{(a,b) \in \mathcal{V}(f)} | |||
| \mathcal{I}(\{(a,b)\}) | |||
| \supset (f) = \mathfrak{p} | |||
| .\] By \ref{satz:correspondence-irred-subsets-prime-ideals}, the ideals | |||
| $\mathcal{I}(\{(a,b)\})$ for $(a, b) \in \mathcal{V}(f)$ are exactly the | |||
| maximal ideals containing $(f) = \mathfrak{p}$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| Let $\mathfrak{p} \subseteq k[x,y]$ be a non-principal prime ideal. | |||
| Then $\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{p}) \subseteq k^2$ is finite. | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Since $\mathfrak{p}$ is not principal, there exist $f, g \in \mathfrak{p}$ without common factors. Since | |||
| $(f, g) \subset \mathfrak{p}$, we have | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}(f) \cap \mathcal{V}(g) = | |||
| \mathcal{V}(f, g) \supset \mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{p}) | |||
| \] and the left hand side is finite by \ref{lemma:coprime-finite-zero-locus}. | |||

| continuous map $f\colon X \to Y$ such that, for all open set $U \subseteq Y$, the | |||
| pullback map $f_U^{*}$ takes a regular function on the open set $U \subseteq Y$ to | |||
| a regular function on the open set $f^{-1}(U) \subseteq X$. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| Then, given open sets $U' \subseteq U$ in $Y$, we have compatible homomorphisms of $k$-algebras: | |||
| In other words, we have a morphism of sheaves on $Y$ | |||
| $f^{*}\colon \mathcal{O}_Y \to f_{*} \mathcal{O}_X$, where | |||
| by definition $(f_{*}\mathcal{O}_X)(U) = \mathcal{O}_X(f^{-1}(U))$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{aufgabe}[] | |||
| Given $g\colon Y \to Z$, show that $(g \circ f)_{*}\mathcal{O}_X | |||
| = g_{*}(f_{*} \mathcal{O}_X)$ and that | |||
| $g_{*}$ is a functor from sheaves on $Y$ to sheaves on $Z$. | |||
| \end{aufgabe} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| If $f\colon (X, \mathcal{O}_X) \to (Y, \mathcal{O}_Y)$ | |||
| and $g\colon (Y, \mathcal{O}_Y) \to (Z, \mathcal{O}_Z)$ are morphisms, | |||
| so is the composed map $g \circ f\colon X \to Z$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{satz}[] | |||
| Let $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ and $(Y, \mathcal{O}_Y)$ be locally closed subsets | |||
| of an affine space $(X \subseteq k^{n}, Y \subseteq K^{m})$ equipped with | |||
| their respective sheaves of regular functions. Then a map $f\colon X \to Y$ | |||
| is a morphism of spaces with functions if and only if $f = (f_1, \ldots, f_m)$ with | |||
| each $f_i\colon X \to k$ a regular function on $X$. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| The proof that if each of the $f_i$'s is a regular function, then $f$ is a morphism | |||
| is similar to point (i) of the previous example: it holds because the pullback | |||
| of a regular function (in particular, the pullback of a polynomial) by a regular function | |||
| is a regular function, and because an equation of the form $h(x) = 0$ for $h$ a regular | |||
| function is locally equivalent to a polynomial equation $P(x) = 0$. | |||
| Conversely, if $f\colon X \to Y \subseteq k^{m}$ is a morphism, then the pullback of | |||
| the $i$-th projection $p_i\colon k^{m} \to k$ is a regular function | |||
| on $X$. Since $f^{*}p_i = f_i$, the proposition is proved. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| In the proof of the previous proposition, we used that if the | |||
| $(f_i\colon X \to k)_{1 \le i \le m}$ are regular functions on the locally closed | |||
| subset $X \subseteq k^{n}$, then the map | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| f\colon X &\to k^{m} \\ | |||
| x &\mapsto (f_1(x), \ldots, f_m(x)) | |||
| \end{salign*} is continuous on $X$. This is because | |||
| the pre-image of $f^{-1}(V)$ of an algebraic subset | |||
| $V = V(P_1, \ldots, P_r) \subseteq k^{m}$ is the intersection | |||
| of $X$ with the zero set | |||
| \[ | |||
| W = V(P_1 \circ f, \ldots, P_r \circ f) \subseteq k^{n} | |||
| \] which is indeed an algebraic set, because $P_j \circ f$ is a regular function | |||
| so the equation $P_j \circ f = 0$ is equivalent to a polynomial equation. | |||
| Beware, however, that if the $(f_i)_{1 \le i \le m}$ are only continuous maps, then | |||
| $W$ is no longer an algebraic set, so we would need another argument in order to prove | |||
| the continuity of $f$. Typically, in general topology, we | |||
| say that $f\colon X \to k^{m}$ is continuous because its components $(f_1, \ldots, f_m)$ are | |||
| continuous. This argument is valid when the topology used on $k^{m}$ is the | |||
| product topology of the topologies on $k$. However, this does not hold in general | |||
| for the Zariski topology, which is strictly larger than the product topology when $k$ is | |||
| infinite. | |||

| \section{Abstract affine varieties} | |||
| Recall that an isomorphism of spaces with functions is a morphism | |||
| $f\colon (X, \mathcal{O}_X) \to (Y, \mathcal{O}_Y)$ that admits an inverse morphism. | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| As we have seen, a bijective morphism is not necessarily an isomorphism. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| Somewhat more formally, one could also define a morphism of spaces | |||
| with functions (over $k$) to be a pair $(f, \varphi)$ such that | |||
| $f\colon X \to Y$ is a continuous map and $\varphi\colon \mathcal{O}_Y \to f_{*}\mathcal{O}_X$ | |||
| is the morphism of sheaves $f^{*}$. The question then arises how to define | |||
| properly the composition $(g, \psi) \circ (f, \varphi)$. The formal answer is | |||
| $(g \circ f, f_{*}(\varphi) \circ \psi)$. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{definition}[] | |||
| Let $k$ be a field. An (abstract) \emph{affine variety over $k$} | |||
| (also called an affine $k$-variety) | |||
| is a space with functions $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ | |||
| over $k$ that is isomorphic to the space with functions $(V, \mathcal{O}_V)$, where | |||
| $V$ is an algebraic subset of some affine space $k^{n}$ and $\mathcal{O}_V$ is the | |||
| sheaf of regular functions on $V$. | |||
| A morphism of affine $k$-varieties is a morphism of the underlying spaces with functions. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[] | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item An algebraic subset $V \subseteq k^{n}$, endowed with its sheaf of regular functions | |||
| $\mathcal{O}_V$, is an affine variety. | |||
| \item It is perhaps not obvious at first, but a standard open set | |||
| $D_V(f)$, where $f\colon V \to k$ is a regular function on an algebraic set | |||
| $V \subseteq k^{n}$, defines an affine variety. Indeed, when | |||
| equipped with its sheaf of regular functions, | |||
| $D_V(f) \simeq \mathcal{V}_{k^{n+1}}(tf(x) - 1)$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| Let $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ be a space with functions. An open subset $U \subseteq X$ defines | |||
| a space with functions $(U, \mathcal{O}_U)$. If | |||
| $(U, \mathcal{O}_U)$ is isomorphic to some standard open set | |||
| $D_V(f)$ of an algebraic set $V \subseteq k^{n}$, we will call | |||
| $U$ an \emph{affine open set}. | |||
| Then the observation is the following: since an algebraic set $V \subseteq k^{n}$ | |||
| is a finite union of standard open sets, every point $x$ in an affine variety $X$ | |||
| has an affine open neighbourhood. | |||
| Less formally, an affine variety $X$, locally ,,looks like`` a standard open set | |||
| $D_V(f) \subseteq k^{n}$, where $V \subseteq k^{n}$ is an algebraic set. In particular, | |||
| open subsets of an affine variety also locally look like standard open sets. In fact, | |||
| they are finite unions of such sets. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[] | |||
| The algebraic group $\mathrm{GL}(n ; k)$ is an affine variety over $k$. | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| An algebraic set $(V, \mathcal{O}_V)$ is a subset $V \subseteq k^{n}$ defined | |||
| by polynomial equations and equipped with its sheaf of regular functions. | |||
| An affine variety $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ is | |||
| ,,like an algebraic set`` but without a reference to a particular | |||
| ,,embedding`` in affine space. This is similar to having a finitely generated $k$-Algebra $A$ | |||
| without specifying a particular isomorphism | |||
| \[ | |||
| A \simeq k[X_1, \ldots, X_n] / I | |||
| .\] The next example will illustrate precisely this fact. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[] | |||
| Let us now give an abstract example of an affine variety. | |||
| We consider a finitely generated $k$-algebra $A$ and define | |||
| $X \coloneqq \operatorname{Hom}_{k-\mathrm{Alg}}(A, k)$. The idea is to think | |||
| of $X$ as points on which we can evaluate elements of $A$, which are thought of | |||
| as functions on $X$. For $x \in \operatorname{Hom}_{k}(A, k)$ and | |||
| $f \in A$ we set $f(x) \coloneqq x(f) \in k$. | |||
| \begin{itemize} | |||
| \item Topology on $X$: for all ideal $I \subseteq A$, set | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{V}_X(I) \coloneqq \{ x \in X \mid \forall x \in I\colon f(x) = 0\} | |||
| .\] These subsets of $X$ are the closed sets of a topology on $X$, which | |||
| we may call the Zariski topology. | |||
| \item Regular functions on $X$: if $U \subseteq X$ is open, | |||
| a function $h\colon U \to k$ is called regular at $x \in U$ if | |||
| there it exists an open set $x \in U_x$ and elements | |||
| $P, Q \in A$ such that for $y \in U_x$, $Q(y) \neq 0$ and | |||
| $h(y) = \frac{P(y)}{Q(y)}$ in $k$. | |||
| The function $h$ is called regular on $U$ | |||
| iff it is regular at $x \in U$. Regular functions then form a sheaf of | |||
| $k$-algebras on $X$. | |||
| Moreover, if $h\colon U \to k$ is regular on $X$, the | |||
| set $D_X(h) \coloneqq \{ x \in X \mid h(x) \neq 0\} $ is open in $X$ | |||
| and the function $\frac{1}{h}$ is regular on $D_X(h)$. | |||
| \end{itemize} | |||
| So, we have defined a space with functions $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$, at least | |||
| whenever $X \neq \emptyset$. We show that $X$ is an affine variety. | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Fix a system of generators of $A$, i.e. | |||
| \[ | |||
| A \simeq k[t_1, \ldots, t_n] / I | |||
| \] where $k[t_1, \ldots, t_n]$ is a polynomial algebra. We denote | |||
| by $\overline{t_1}, \ldots, \overline{t_n}$ the images of $t_1, \ldots, t_n$ in $A$ | |||
| and we define | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \varphi\colon X = \operatorname{Hom}_{k}(A, k)& \to k^{n} \\ | |||
| x &\mapsto (x(\overline{t_1}), \ldots, x(\overline{t_n})) | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Let $P \in I$ and $x \in X$. Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| P(\varphi(x)) = P(x(\overline{t_1}), \ldots, x(\overline{t_n})) | |||
| = x(\overline{P}) = 0 | |||
| .\] Thus $\varphi(x) \in \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(I)$. | |||
| Conversely let $a = (a_1, \ldots, a_n) \in \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(I)$, then | |||
| we can define a morphism of $k$-algebras | |||
| \[ | |||
| x_a\colon A \to A / (\overline{t_1} -a_1, \ldots, \overline{t_n} - a_n) | |||
| \simeq k | |||
| \] which satisfies $x_a(\overline{t_i}) = a_i$ for all $i$. So | |||
| $(a_1, \ldots, a_n) = \varphi(x_a) \in \text{im } \varphi$. | |||
| In particular, we have defined a map | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \psi\colon \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(I) &\to X = \operatorname{Hom}_k(A, k) \\ | |||
| a &\mapsto x_a | |||
| \end{salign*} such that $\varphi \circ \psi = \text{Id}_{\mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(I)}$. In fact, | |||
| we also have $\psi \circ \varphi = \text{Id}_X$. | |||
| It remains to check that $\varphi$ and $\psi$ are morphisms of spaces with functions, which | |||
| follows from the definition of the topology and the notion of regular function on $X$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| The elements of $X \coloneqq \operatorname{Hom}_k(A, k)$ are also called the | |||
| \emph{characters} of the $k$-algebra $A$, and this is sometimes denoted | |||
| by $\hat{A} \coloneqq \operatorname{Hom}_{k-\text{alg}}(A, k)$. Note that | |||
| $\hat{A}$ is a $k$-subalgebra of the algebra of all functions $f\colon A \to k$. | |||
| The character $x_a$ introduced above and associated to an alemenet $a \in A$ is then | |||
| denoted by $\hat{a}$ and called the \emph{Gelfand transform} of $a$. The | |||
| \emph{Gelfand transformation} is the morphism of $k$-algebras | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| A &\to \hat{A} \\ | |||
| a &\mapsto \hat{a} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{aufgabe} | |||
| Let $A$ be a finitely generated $k$-algebra and let | |||
| $X = \operatorname{Hom}_{k\text{-alg}}(A, k)$. Show that the map | |||
| $x \mapsto \text{ker } x$ induces a bijection | |||
| \[ | |||
| X \simeq \{ \mathfrak{m} \in \operatorname{Spm} A \mid A / \mathfrak{m} \simeq k\} | |||
| .\] | |||
| \end{aufgabe} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| Note that we have not assumed $A$ to be reduced and that, if we | |||
| set $A_{\text{red}} \coloneqq A / \sqrt{(0)}$, then | |||
| $A_{\text{red}}$ is reduced and | |||
| $\hat{A_{\text{red}}} = \hat{A}$, because a maximal ideal of $A$ necessarily | |||
| contains $\sqrt{(0)}$ and the quotient field is ,,the same``. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| Let $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ be an affine variety. One can associate the $k$-algebra | |||
| $\mathcal{O}_X(X)$ of globally defined regular functions on $X$: | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{O}_X(X) = \{ f \colon X \to k \mid f \text{ regular on } X\} | |||
| .\] | |||
| Moreover, if $\varphi\colon (X, \mathcal{O}_X) \to (Y, \mathcal{O}_Y)$ is | |||
| a morphism between two affine varieties, we have a $k$-algebra homomorphism | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \varphi^{*}\colon \mathcal{O}_Y(Y) &\to \mathcal{O}_X(X) \\ | |||
| f &\mapsto f \circ \varphi | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Also, $(\text{id}_X)^{*} = \text{id}_{\mathcal{O}_X(X)}$ and | |||
| $(\psi \circ \varphi)^{*} = \varphi^{*} \circ \psi^{*}$ whenever | |||
| $\psi\colon (Y, \mathcal{O}_Y) \to (Z, \mathcal{O}_Z)$ is a morphism of | |||
| affine varieties. In other words, we have defined a (contravariant) functor | |||
| $k$-Aff $\to k$-Alg. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| Let $k$ be a field. The functor | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| k\text{-Aff} &\to k\text{-Alg} \\ | |||
| (X, \mathcal{O}_X) &\mapsto \mathcal{O}_X(X) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| is fully faithful. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Since $X$ and $Y$ are affine, we may assume $X = V \subseteq k^{n}$ | |||
| and $Y = W \subseteq k^{m}$. Then $\varphi\colon V \to W$ | |||
| is given by $m$ regular functions $(\varphi_1, \ldots, \varphi_m)$ | |||
| on $V$. On $k^{m}$, let us denote by $y_i$ the projection to the $i$-th factor. | |||
| Its restriction to $W$ is a regular function | |||
| \[ | |||
| y_i|_W \colon W \to k | |||
| \] that satisfies $\varphi^{*}(y_i|_W) = \varphi_i$. | |||
| Since for all regular functions $f\colon W \to k$ one has | |||
| \[ | |||
| \varphi^{*}f = f \circ \varphi = f(\varphi_1, \ldots, \varphi_m) | |||
| ,\] we see that the morphism | |||
| \[ | |||
| \varphi^{*}\colon \mathcal{O}_W(W) \to \mathcal{O}_V(V) | |||
| \] is entirely determined by the $m$ regular functions $\varphi^{*}(y_i|_W) = \varphi_i$ | |||
| on $V$. In particular, if $\varphi^{*} = \psi^{*}$, then | |||
| $\varphi_i = \varphi^{*}(y_i|_W) = \psi^{*}(y_i|_W) = \psi_i$, so $\varphi = \psi$, | |||
| which proves that $\varphi \mapsto \varphi^{*}$ is injective. | |||
| Surjectivity: Let $h\colon \mathcal{O}_W(W) \to \mathcal{O}_V(V)$ be a morphism | |||
| of $k$-algebras. Let | |||
| \[ | |||
| \varphi \coloneqq (h(y_1|_W), \ldots, h(y_m|_W)) | |||
| \] which is a morphism from $V$ to $k^{m}$, because its components are regular functions | |||
| on $V$. It satisfies $\varphi^{*}(y_i|_W) = \varphi_i = h(y_i|_W)$, so $\varphi^{*} = h$. | |||
| It remains to show, that $\varphi(V) \subseteq W$. Let $W = \mathcal{V}(P_1, \ldots, P_r)$ | |||
| with $P_j \in k[Y_1, \ldots, Y_m]$. Then for all $j \in \{1, \ldots, r\} $ | |||
| and $x \in V$ | |||
| \[ | |||
| P_j(\varphi(x)) = P_j(h(y_1|_W), \ldots, h(y_m|_W))(x) | |||
| .\] Since $h$ is a morphism of $k$-algebras and $P_j$ is a polynomial, we have | |||
| \[ | |||
| P_j(h(y_1|_W), \ldots, h(y_m|_W)) = h(P_j(y_1|_W), \ldots, P_j(y_m|_W)) | |||
| .\] But $P_j \in \mathcal{I}(W)$, so | |||
| \[ | |||
| P_j(y_1|_W, \ldots, y_m|_W) = P_j(y_1, \ldots, y_m)|_W = 0 | |||
| ,\] which proves that for $x \in V$, $\varphi(x) \in W$. | |||

| Consider a plane algebraic curve $\mathcal{C}$, defined by the equation $f(x,y) = 0$. | |||
| If we fix $x = a$, then the polynomial equation $f(a, y) = 0$ has only finitely many solutions | |||
| (at most $\text{deg}_y f$). This means that the map | |||

| (x,y) \mapsto x | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||

| $k$ is algebraically closed, one can always find such a surjective projection. | |||
| \begin{theorem} | |||
| Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and $f \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be a polynomial | |||
| of degree $d \ge 1$. Then there is a morphism of affine varieties | |||

| of at most $d$ points. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \label{thm:geom-noether-norm} | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $f \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be of degree $d$. We construct a change of variables | |||
| of the form $(x_i \mapsto x_i + a_i x_n)_{1 \le i \le n-1}$ and | |||
| $x_n \mapsto x_n$, such that the term of degree $d$ of | |||
| $f(x_1 + a_1x_n, \ldots, x_{n-1} + a_{n-1}x_n, x_n)$ becomes | |||
| $c x_n^{d}$ with $c \in k^{\times }$. Since | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| f(x_1 + a_1 x_n, \ldots, x_{n-1} + a_{n-1} x_n, x_n) | |||
| = | |||
| \sum_{(i_1, \ldots, i_n) \in \N^{n}} \alpha_{i_1, \ldots, i_n} | |||
| (x_1 + a_1 x_n)^{i_1} \cdots (x_{n-1} + a_{n-1} x_n)^{i_{n-1}} x_n^{i_n} | |||
| ,\end{salign*} | |||
| the coefficient of $x_n^{d}$ in the above equation is obtained by considering all | |||
| $(i_1, \ldots, i_n)$ such that $i_1 + \ldots + i_n = d$, and keeping only the term | |||
| in $x_n^{i_j}$ when expanding $(x_j + a_j x_n)^{i_j}$, so we get | |||
| \[ | |||
| \sum_{(i_1, \ldots, i_n) \in \N \\ i_1 + \ldots + i_n = d} | |||
| \alpha_{i_1, \ldots, i_n} a_1^{i_1} \cdots a_{n-1}^{i_{n-1}} | |||
| ,\] which is equal to $f_d(a_1, \ldots, a_{n-1}, 1)$, where | |||
| $f_d$ is the (homogeneous) degree $d$ part of $f$. | |||
| Claim: There exist $a_1, \ldots, a_{n-1} \in k$ such that $f_d(a_1, \ldots, a_{n-1}, 1) \neq 0$. | |||
| Proof of claim by induction: if $n = 1$, $f_d = c x_1^{d}$ for some $c \neq 0$, so | |||
| $f_d(1) = c \neq 0$. If $n \ge 2$, we can write | |||

| f_d(x_1, \ldots, x_n) = \sum_{i=0}^{d} h_i(x_2, \ldots, x_n) x_1^{i} | |||
| \] where $h_i \in k[x_2, \ldots, x_n]$ is homogeneous of degree $d-i$. | |||
| Since $f_d \neq 0$, there is at least one $i_0$ such that $h_{i_0} \neq 0$. By induction, | |||
| we can find $(a_2, \ldots, a_{n-1}) \in k^{n-2}$ such that | |||
| $h_{i_0}(a_2, \ldots, a_{n-1}, 1) \neq 0$. But then | |||
| $f(\cdot, a_2, \ldots, a_{n-1}, 1) \in k[x_1]$ is a non zero polynomial, so it has | |||
| only finitely many roots. As $k$ is infinite, there exists $a_1 \in k$, such that | |||
| $f(a_1, \ldots, a_{n-1}, 1) \neq 0$. | |||
| Then | |||
| \[ | |||
| \varphi\colon \begin{cases} | |||
| x_i \mapsto x_i + a_i x_n & 1 \le i \le n-1\\ | |||
| x_n \mapsto x_n | |||

| \] for $c \neq 0$. This induces an isomorphism of affine varieties | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \mathcal{V}(f) &\to \mathcal{V}(f \circ \varphi^{-1}) \\ | |||
| x &\mapsto \varphi(x) | |||

| & k^{n-1} | |||
| \end{tikzcd} | |||
| \] defines the morphism $\pi$ with the desired properties. Indeed: | |||
| Let $(x_1, \ldots, x_n) \in k^{n}$ and set $y_i \coloneqq \varphi(x_i)$. Then | |||
| $(x_1, \ldots, x_n) \in \mathcal{V}(f)$ iff $x_n = y_n$ | |||
| is a root of the polynomial | |||
| \[ | |||
| t ^{d} + \sum_{j=1}^{d} g_j(y_1, \ldots, y_{n-1}) t ^{d-j} | |||
| .\] Therefore for all $t = (y_1, \ldots, y_{n-1}) \in k^{n-1}$, | |||
| $\pi^{-1}(\{t\}) \neq \emptyset$ (because $\overline{k} = k$) and | |||
| $\pi^{-1}(\{t\})$ has at most $d$ points. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{definition} | |||
| Let $f \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be a polynomial of degree $d$. | |||
| As in the proof of \ref{thm:geom-noether-norm}, ther exists a linear coordinate transformation | |||
| $\varphi\colon k^{n} \to k^{n}$, such that | |||
| $f \circ \varphi^{-1}(y_1, \ldots, y_n) = c y_n^{d} + \sum_{j=1}^{d} g_j(y_1, \ldots, y_{n-1})y_n^{d-j}$. For a point $x \in \pi^{-1}(y_1, \ldots, y_{n-1}) \subseteq \mathcal{V}(f)$, | |||
| the \emph{multiplicity} of $x$ is the multiplicity of $y_n$ as a root of that polynomial. | |||
| A point with multiplicity $\ge 2$ are called \emph{ramification point} and | |||
| its image lies in the \emph{discriminant locus} of $\pi$. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| With this vocabulary, we can refine the statement of \ref{thm:geom-noether-norm}. | |||
| \begin{definition}[Geometric Noether normalisation] | |||

| \end{enumerate} | |||
| is called a \emph{geometric Noether normalisation}. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{korollar}[Geometric Noether normalisation for hypersurfaces] | |||

| \begin{bsp} | |||

| $(x,y) \mapsto x$ is not (the fibres of the latter have degree $2$, while $\text{deg } f = 3$). | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{bem} | |||
| In the proof of \ref{thm:geom-noether-norm}, to construct $\varphi$ and | |||

| \] is valid over $k$ if $k$ is infinite. The resulting map | |||
| \[ | |||
| \pi\colon \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(f) \to k^{n-1} | |||
| \] still has finite fibres, but it is no longer surjective in general, as | |||
| the example $f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 - 1$ shows. | |||
| However, it induces a surjective map with finite fibres | |||
| \[ | |||
| \hat{\pi}\colon \mathcal{V}_{\overline{k}^{n}}(f) \to \overline{k}^{n-1} | |||

| Next, we want to generalise the results above beyond the case of hypersurfaces. | |||
| \begin{theorem} | |||
| Assume $k$ is algebraically closed. Let $V \subseteq k^{n}$ be an algebraic set. | |||
| Then there exists a natural number $r \le n$ and a morphism of algebraic sets | |||
| \[ | |||
| p\colon V \to k^{r} | |||
| \] such that $p$ is surjective and has finite fibres. | |||
| \label{thm:geom-noether-norm-general} | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{proof}[Sketch of proof] | |||
| If $V = k^{n}$, we take $r = n$ and $p = \text{id}_{k^{n}}$. Otherwise | |||
| $V = \mathcal{V}(I)$ with $I \subseteq k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ a non-zero ideal. | |||
| Take $f \in I \setminus \{0\} $. Then there exists a geometric Noether normalisation | |||
| \[ | |||
| p_1\colon \mathcal{V}(f) \to k^{n-1} | |||
| .\] | |||
| One can now show that $V_1 \coloneqq p_1(V)$ is an algebraic set in $k^{n-1}$. Thus there are | |||
| two cases: | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(1)] | |||
| \item $p_1(V) = k^{n-1}$. Thus $p_1|_V\colon V \to k^{n-1}$ is surjective with finite fibres | |||
| and we are done. | |||
| \item $p_1(V) \subsetneq k^{n-1}$. In this case | |||
| $p_1(V) = \mathcal{V}(I_1)$ with $I_1 \subseteq k[x_1, \ldots, x_{n-1}]$ a | |||
| non-zero ideal. So we can repeat the argument. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| After $r \le n$ steps, the above algorithm terminates, and this happens precisely when | |||
| $V_r = k^{n-r}$. If we set | |||
| \[ | |||
| p\coloneqq p_r \circ \ldots \circ p_1 \colon V \to k^{n-r} | |||
| \] then $p$ is surjective with finite fibres because $p(V) = V_r = k^{n-r}$ and | |||
| each $p_i$ has finite fibres. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| By the fact used in the proof of \ref{thm:geom-noether-norm-general}, $p$ is in fact | |||
| a closed map. Note that when $r = n$, $V = p^{-1}(\{0\})$ is actually finite, in which case | |||
| $\text{dim }V$ should indeed be $0$. | |||

| \section{Gluing spaces with functions} | |||
| We present a general technique to construct spaces with functions by | |||
| ,,patching together`` other spaces with functions ,,along open subsets``. This | |||
| will later be used to argue that, in order to define a structure of variety on a | |||
| topological sapce (or even a set), it suffices to give one atlas. | |||
| \begin{theorem}[Gluing theorem] | |||
| Let $(X_i, \mathcal{O}_{X_i})_{i \in I}$ be a family of spaces with functions. For | |||
| all pair $(i, j)$, assume that the following has been given | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(a)] | |||
| \item an open subset $X_{ij} \subseteq X_i$ | |||
| \item an isomorphism of spaces with functions | |||
| \[ | |||
| \varphi_{ji}\colon (X_{ij}, \mathcal{O}_{X_{ij}}) | |||
| \to (X_{ji}, \mathcal{O}_{X_{ji}}) | |||
| \] | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| subject to the following compatibility conditions | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(1)] | |||
| \item for all $i$, $X_{ii} = X_i$ and $\varphi_{ii} = \text{id}_{X_i}$ | |||
| \item for all pair $(i, j)$, $\varphi_{ij} = \varphi_{ji}^{-1}$ | |||
| \item for all triple $(i, j, k)$, $\varphi_{ji}(X_{ik} \cap X_{ij}) = X_{jk} \cap X_{ji}$ | |||
| and $\varphi_{kj} \circ \varphi_{ji} = \varphi_{ki}$ | |||
| on $X_{ik} \cap X_{ij}$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| Then there exists a space with functions $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ equipped with a family of | |||
| open sets $(U_i)_{i \in I}$ | |||
| and isomorphisms of spaces with functions | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(A1)] | |||
| \item $\varphi_i \colon (U_i, \mathcal{O}_X|_{U_i}) \to (X_i, \mathcal{O}_{X_i})$, | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| such that $\bigcup_{i \in I} U_i = X$ and, for all pair $(i, j)$, | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(A1)] | |||
| \setcounter{enumi}{1} | |||
| \item $\varphi_i(U_i \cap U_j) = X_{ij}$, and | |||
| \item $\varphi_j \circ \varphi_i^{-1} = \varphi_{ji}$ on $X_{ij}$. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| Such a familiy $(U_i, \varphi_i)_{i \in I}$ is called | |||
| an atlas for $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$. | |||
| Moreover, if $(Y, \mathcal{O}_Y)$ is a space with functions equipped with an atlas | |||
| $(V_i, \psi_i)_{i \in I}$ satisfying conditions (A1), (A2) and (A3), then | |||
| the isomorphisms $\psi_i^{-1} \circ \varphi_i \colon U_i \to V_i$ induce | |||
| an isomorphism $(X, \mathcal{O}_X) \to (Y, \mathcal{O}_Y)$. | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Uniqueness up to canonical isomorphism: Let $(U_i, \varphi_i)_{i \in I}$ | |||
| and $(V_i, \psi_i)_{i \in I}$ be two atlases modelled on the same gluing data, | |||
| then for all pair $(i, j)$, | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \psi_j^{-1} \circ \varphi_j \Big|_{U_i \cap U_j} | |||
| &= \psi_j^{-1} \circ \underbrace{(\varphi_j \circ \varphi_i^{-1})}_{= \varphi_{ji}} | |||
| \circ \varphi_i \Big|_{U_i \cap U_j} \\ | |||
| &= \psi_j^{-1} \circ \underbrace{(\psi_j \circ \psi_i^{-1})}_{= \varphi_{ji}} | |||
| \circ \varphi_i \Big|_{U_i \cap U_j} \\ | |||
| &= \psi_i^{-1} \circ \varphi_i \Big|_{U_i \cap U_j} | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| so there is a well-defined map | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| f\colon X = \bigcup_{i \in I} U_i &\to \bigcup_{i \in I} V_i = Y \\ | |||
| (x \in U_i) &\mapsto (\psi_i^{-1} \circ \varphi_i(x) \in V_i) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| which induces an isomorphism | |||
| of spaces with functions. | |||
| Existence: Define $\tilde{X} \coloneqq \bigsqcup_{i \in I} X_i$ and let the | |||
| topology be the final topology with respect to the canonical maps | |||
| $(X_i \to \tilde{X})_{i \in I}$. Then define | |||
| $X \coloneqq \tilde{X} / \sim $ where | |||
| $(i, x) \sim (j, y)$ in $\tilde{X}$ if $x = \varphi_{ij}(y)$. Conditions | |||
| (1), (2) and (3) show that $\sim $ is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. | |||
| We equip $X$ with the quotient topology and denote by | |||
| \[ | |||
| p\colon \tilde{X} \to X | |||
| \] the canonical continuous projection. Let $U_i \coloneqq p(X_i)$. Since | |||
| $p^{-1}(U_i) = \bigsqcup_{j \in I} X_{ji}$ | |||
| is open in $\tilde{X}$, $U_i$ is open in $X$. Moreover, | |||
| $\bigcup_{i \in I} U_i = X$, so we have an open covering of $X$. We | |||
| put $p_i \coloneqq p|_{X_i}$ and we define a sheaf on $X$ by setting | |||
| \[ | |||
| \mathcal{O}_X(U) \coloneqq \{ f \colon U \to k \mid \forall i \in I, f \circ p_i | |||
| \in \mathcal{O}_{X_i}(p_i^{-1}(U)) \} | |||
| \] for all open sets $U \subseteq X$. This defines a sheaf on $X$, with | |||
| respect to which $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ is a space with functions. | |||
| Finally, $p_i\colon X_i \to U_i$ is a homeomorphism and, by construction | |||
| $\mathcal{O}_{U_i} \simeq (p_i)_{*} \mathcal{O}_{X_i}$ via pullback by $p_i$. | |||
| We have thus constructed a space with functions $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$, | |||
| equipped with an open covering $(U_i)_{i \in I}$ and local charts | |||
| \[ | |||
| \varphi_i \coloneqq p_i^{-1}\colon (U_i, \mathcal{O}_X|_{U_i}) | |||
| \stackrel{\sim }{\longrightarrow } | |||
| (X_i, \mathcal{O}_{X_i}) | |||
| .\] It remains to check that | |||
| $\varphi_i(U_i \cap U_j) = X_{ij}$ and | |||
| $\varphi_j \circ \varphi_i^{-1} = \varphi_{ji}$ on $X_{ij}$, but | |||
| this follows from the construction of | |||
| $\displaystyle{X = \bigsqcup_{i \in I} X_i / \sim }$ and | |||
| the definition of the $\varphi_i$'s as $p|_{X_i}^{-1}$. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[] | |||
| Take $k = \R$ or $\mathbb{C}$ equipped with either the Zariski or the usual topology. Consider | |||
| the spaces with functions $X_1 = k$, $X_2 = k$ and the open sets | |||
| $X_{12} = k \setminus \{0\} \subseteq X_1$ and | |||
| $X_{21} = k \setminus \{0\} \subseteq X_2$. Finally, set | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \varphi_{21}\colon X_{12} &\to X_{21} \\ | |||
| t &\mapsto \frac{1}{t} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Since this is an isomorphism of spaces with functions, we can glue | |||
| $X_1$ and $X_2$ along $X_{12} \xlongrightarrow[\varphi_{21}]{\sim } X_{21} $ | |||
| and define a space with functions $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ with | |||
| an atlas modelled on $(X_1, X_2, \varphi_{21})$. We will now identify this | |||
| space $X$ with the projective line $k \mathbb{P}^{1}$. By definition, the latter | |||
| is the set of $1$-dimensional vector subspaces (lines) of $k^2$: | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| k \mathbb{P}^{1} \coloneqq (k^2 \setminus \{0\}) / k^{\times } | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Then, we have a covering | |||
| $U_1 \cup U_2 = k \mathbb{P}^{1}$, where | |||
| $U_1 = \{ [x_1 : x_2] \mid x_1 \neq 0\} $ | |||
| and $U_2 = \{ [x_1 : x_2 ] \mid x_2 \neq 0\} $, and we can define charts | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \varphi_1\colon U_1 &\xlongrightarrow{\sim } k \\ | |||
| [x_1 : x_2 ] &\longmapsto x_2 / x_1 \\ | |||
| [1:w] & \longmapsfrom w | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| and $\varphi_2\colon U_2 \to k$ likewise. Then, on the intersection | |||
| \[ | |||
| U_1 \cap U_2 = \{ [x_1 : x_2 ] \mid x_1 \neq 0, x_2 \neq 0\} | |||
| \] we have a commutative diagram | |||
| \[ | |||
| \begin{tikzcd} | |||
| U_1 \cap U_2 \arrow{d}{\varphi_1} \arrow{dr}{\varphi_2} & \\ | |||
| X_1 \arrow{r}{\varphi_{21}} & X_2 | |||
| \end{tikzcd} | |||
| \] with $\varphi_i(U_1 \cap U_2)$ open in $X_i$. In view of | |||
| the gluing theorem, we can use this to set up a bijection | |||
| $k \mathbb{P}^{1} \to X$ where $\displaystyle{X \coloneqq (X_1 \sqcup X_2) / \sim_{\varphi_{12}}}$ | |||
| and define a topology and a sheaf of regular functions on | |||
| $k \mathbb{P}^{1}$ via this identification. Note that this was done without putting | |||
| a topology on $k \mathbb{P}^{1}$: the latter is obtained using the bijection | |||
| $k \mathbb{P}^{1} \to X$ constructed above. We now spell out the notion of regular functions | |||
| thus obtained on $k \mathbb{P}^{1}$. | |||
| \end{bsp} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| With the identification | |||
| \[ | |||
| k \mathbb{P}^{1} = X_1 \sqcup X_2 / \sim | |||
| \] constructed above, a function $f\colon U \to k$ defined on | |||
| an open subset $U \subseteq k \mathbb{P}^{1}$ is an element of $\mathcal{O}_X(U)$ if | |||
| and only if, for each local chart $\varphi_i \colon U_i \to k$, the function | |||
| \[ | |||
| f \circ \varphi_i^{-1} \colon \varphi_i(U_i \cap U) \to k | |||
| \] is regular on the open set $\varphi_i(U_i \cap U) \subseteq k$. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{definition}[] | |||
| Let $k$ be a field. An \emph{algebraic $k$-prevariety} is a space | |||
| with functions $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ such that | |||
| \begin{enumerate}[(i)] | |||
| \item $X$ is quasi-compact. | |||
| \item $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ is locally isomorphic to an affine variety. | |||
| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| Saying that $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ is locally isomorphic to an affine variety means | |||
| that for $x \in X$, it exists an open neighbourhood $x \in U$ such that | |||
| $(U, \mathcal{O}_X|_U)$ is isomorphic to an open subset of an affine variety. Since | |||
| such an open set is a union of principal open sets, which are themselves affine, one can | |||
| equivalently ask that $(U, \mathcal{O}_U)$ be affine. Thus: | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{satz} | |||
| A space with functions $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ is an algebraic prevariety, if and only if | |||
| there exists a finite open covering | |||
| \[ | |||
| X = U_1 \cup \ldots \cup U_n | |||
| \] such that $(U_i, \mathcal{O}_X|_{U_i})$ is an affine variety. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{bem}[] | |||
| As a consequence of the gluing theorem, in order to either construct an algebraic | |||
| prevariety or put a structure of an algebraic prevariety on a set, it suffices to either | |||
| define $X$ from certain gluing data $(X_i, X_{ij}, \varphi_{ij})_{(i,j)}$ satisfying | |||
| appropriate compatibility conditions, or find a covering | |||
| $(U_i)_{i \in I}$ of a set $X$ and local charts $\varphi_i \colon U_i \to X_i$ such that | |||
| $X_{ij} = \varphi_i (U_i \cap U_j)$ is open in $X_i$ and | |||
| $\varphi_j \circ \varphi_i^{-1}$ is an isomorphism of spaces with functions. | |||
| In practice, $X$ is sometimes given as a topological space, and | |||
| $(U_i)_{i \in I}$ is an open covering, with local charts $\varphi_i\colon U_i \to X_i$ that | |||
| are homeomorphisms. So the condition that $X_{ij}$ be open in $X_i$ is automatic | |||
| in this case and one just has to check that | |||
| \[ | |||
| \varphi_{j} \circ \varphi_i^{-1} \colon X_{ij} \to X_{ji} | |||
| \] induces an isomorphism of spaces with functions. In the present context where | |||
| $X_i$ and $X_j$ are affine varieties, this means a map | |||
| \[ | |||
| X_{ij} \subseteq k^{n} \to X_{ji} \subseteq k^{m} | |||
| \] between locally closed subsets of $k^{n}$ and $k^{m}$ whose components are regular functions. | |||
| \end{bem} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[Projective sets] | |||
| We have already seen that projective spaces $k \mathbb{P}^{n}$ are algebraic pre-varieties. | |||
| Let $P \in k[x_0, \ldots, x_n]_d$ be a homogeneous polynomial of degree $d \ge 0$. Although | |||
| $P$ cannot be evaluated at a point | |||
| $[x_0 : \ldots : x_n] \in k \mathbb{P}^{n}$, the condition | |||
| $P(x_0, \ldots, x_n) = 0$ can be tested, because for $\lambda \in k^{x}$, | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| P(x_0, \ldots, x_n) = 0 \iff 0 = \lambda ^{d} P(x_0, \ldots, x_n) | |||
| = P(\lambda x_0, \ldots, \lambda x_n) | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| We use this to define the following \emph{projective sets} | |||

| is provided by the principal open sets | |||
| $D_{k \mathbb{P}^{n}} (P)$ where $P$ is a homogeneous polynomial. By definition, a regular | |||
| function on a locally closed subset of $k \mathbb{P}^{n}$ is locally given by the restriction | |||
| of a ration fraction of the form | |||
| \[ | |||
| \frac{P(x_0, \ldots, x_n)}{Q(x_0, \ldots, x_n)} | |||
| \] where $P$ and $Q$ are homogeneous polynomials of the same degree. | |||

| \begin{satz} | |||
| A Zariski-closed subset $X$ of $k \mathbb{P}^{n}$ equipped with its | |||
| sheaf of regular functions, is an algebraic pre-variety. The same holds | |||
| for all open subsets $U \subseteq X$. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Consider the open covering | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| X &= \bigcup_{i = 0} ^{n} X \cap U_i \\ | |||
| &= \bigcup_{i = 0}^{n} \{ [x_0 : \ldots : x_n ] \in X \mid x_i \neq 0\} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Then the restriction to $X \cap U_i$ of the local chart | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \varphi_i \colon U_i &\longrightarrow k^{n} \\ | |||
| x = [x_0 : \ldots : x_n] &\longmapsto | |||
| \underbrace{\left( \frac{x_0}{x_i}, \ldots, \hat{\frac{x_i}{x_i}}, \ldots, \frac{x_n}{x_i} \right)}_{w = (w_0, \ldots, \hat{w}_i, \ldots, w_n)} | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| sends an $x$ such that $P_1(x) = \ldots = P_m(x) = 0$ to a $w$ such that | |||
| $Q_1(w) = \ldots = Q_m(w) = 0$ where, for all $j$, | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| Q_j(w) &= P_j(w_0, \ldots, w_{i-1}, 1, w_{i+1}, \ldots, w_n) \\ | |||
| &= P_j(x_0, \ldots, x_{i-1}, x_i, x_{i+1}, \ldots, x_n) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| is the dehomogeneisation of $P_j$. So | |||
| $\varphi_i(X \cap U_i) = \mathcal{V}_{k^{n}}(Q_1, \ldots, Q_m) \eqqcolon X_i$ | |||
| is an algebraic subset of $k^{n}$, in particular an affine variety. It remains | |||
| to check that $\varphi_i|_{X \cap U_i}$ pulls back regular functions on $X_i$ to | |||
| regular functions on $X \cap U_i$, and similarly for $(\varphi_i|_{X \cap U_i})^{-1}$. | |||
| But if $f$ and $g$ are polynomials in $(w_0, \ldots, \hat{w}_i, \ldots, w_n)$, | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \left(\varphi_i^{*} \frac{f}{g}\right)(x) | |||
| &= \frac{f(\varphi_i(x))}{g(\varphi_i(x))} \\ | |||
| &= \frac{f\left( \frac{x_0}{x_i}, \ldots, \hat{\frac{x_i}{x_i}}, \ldots, \frac{x_n}{x_i} \right) }{g\left( \frac{x_0}{x_i}, \ldots, \hat{\frac{x_i}{x_i}}, \ldots, \frac{x_n}{x_i} \right) } | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| which can be rewritten as a quotient of two homogeneous polynomials of the same | |||
| degree by multiplying the numerator and denominator | |||
| by $x_i^{r}$ with $r \ge \text{max}(\text{deg}(f) , \text{deg}(g))$. The computation | |||
| is similar but easier for $\left( \varphi_i |_{X \cap U_i} \right)^{-1}$. | |||

| \begin{lemma} | |||
| The category of affine varieties admits products. | |||
| \label{lemma:aff-var-prod} | |||
| \end{lemma} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$, $(Y, \mathcal{O}_Y)$ be affine varieties. Choose embeddings | |||
| $X \subseteq k^{n}$ and $Y \subseteq k^{p}$ for some $n$ and $p$. Then | |||
| $X \times Y \subseteq k^{n+p}$ is an affine variety, endowed with two morphisms | |||
| of affine varieties $\text{pr}_1\colon X \times Y \to X$ and | |||
| $\text{pr}_2\colon X \times Y \to Y$. We will prove that | |||
| the triple $(X \times Y, \text{pr}_1, \text{pr}_2)$ satisfies the universal property of | |||
| the product of $X$ and $Y$. | |||
| Let $f_X\colon Z \to X$ and $f_Y\colon Z \to Y$ be morphisms of affine varieties. | |||
| Then define $f = (f_x, f_y)\colon Z \to X \times Y$. This satisfies | |||
| $\text{pr}_1 \circ f = f_X$ and $\text{pr}_2 \circ f = f_Y$. | |||
| If we embed $Z$ into some $k^{m}$, | |||
| the components of $f_X$ and $f_Y$ are regular functions from | |||
| $k^{m}$ to $k^{n}$ and $k^{p}$. Thus the components of | |||
| $f = (f_X, f_Y)$ are regular functions $k^{m} \to k^{n+p}$, i.e. $f$ is a morphism. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{theorem} | |||
| The category of algebraic pre-varieties admits products. | |||
| \end{theorem} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $(X, \mathcal{O}_X), (Y, \mathcal{O}_Y)$ algebraic pre-varieties. Let | |||
| \[ | |||
| X = \bigcup_{i=1} ^{r} X_i \text{ and } Y = \bigcup_{j=1}^{s} Y_j | |||
| \] be affine open covers. Then, as a set, | |||
| \[ | |||
| X \times Y = \bigcup_{i,j} X_i \times Y_j | |||
| .\] | |||
| By \ref{lemma:aff-var-prod}, each | |||
| $X_i \times Y_j$ has a well-defined structure of affine variety. Moreover, | |||
| if $X_i' \subseteq X_i$ and $Y_j' \subseteq Y_j$ are open sets, then | |||
| $X_i' \times Y_j'$ is open in $X_i \times Y_j$. | |||
| So we can use the identity morphism to glue $X_{i_1} \times Y_{j_1}$ | |||
| to $X_{i_2} \times Y_{j_2}$ along the common open subset | |||
| $(X_{i_1} \cap X_{i_2}) \times (Y_{j_1} \cap Y_{j_2})$. This defines | |||
| an algebraic prevariety $P$ whose underlying set is $X \times Y$. Also, | |||
| the canonical projections | |||
| $X_i \times Y_j \to X_i$ and $X_i \times X_j \to X_j$ | |||
| glue together to give morphisms | |||
| $p_X \colon X \times Y \to X$ and $p_Y \colon X \times Y \to Y$, which | |||
| coincide with $\text{pr}_1$ and $\text{pr}_2$. | |||
| There only remains to prove the universal property. Let $f_x\colon Z \to X$ and | |||
| $f_Y\colon Z \to Y$ be morphisms of algebraic prevarieties and set | |||
| $f = (f_x, f_y)\colon Z \to X \times Y$. In particular, | |||
| $\text{pr}_1 \circ f = f_X$ and $\text{pr}_2 \circ f = f_Y$ as maps between sets. | |||
| To prove that $f$ is a morphisms of algebraic prevarieties, it suffices to show | |||
| that this is locally the case. $Z$ is covered by the open subsets | |||
| $f_X^{-1}(X_i) \cap f_Y^{-1}(Y_j)$, each of which can be covered by affine open subsets | |||
| $(W_{l}^{ij})_{1 \le l \le q(i, j)}$. By construction, | |||
| $f(W_{l}^{ij}) \subseteq X_i \times Y_j$. So, by the universal property of the affine | |||
| variety $X_i \times Y_j$, the map $f|_{W_l^{ij}}$ is a morphism of affine varieties. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{definition}[algebraic variety] | |||
| Let $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ be an algebraic pre-variety and | |||
| $X \times X$ the product in the category of algebraic pre-varieties. If the subset | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Delta_X \coloneqq \{ (x, y) \in X \times X \mid x = y\} | |||
| \] | |||
| is closed in $X \times X$, then $(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ is said to be an | |||
| \emph{algebraic variety}. A morphism of algebraic varieties $f\colon X \to Y$ | |||
| is a morphism of the underlying pre-varieties. | |||
| \end{definition} | |||
| \begin{bsp}[of a non-seperated algebraic prevariety] | |||
| We glue two copies $X_1, X_2$ of $k$ along the open subsets $k \setminus \{0\} $ using | |||
| the isomorphism of spaces with functions $t \mapsto t$. The resulting | |||
| algebraic prevariety is a ,,line with two origins'', denoted by $0_1$ and $0_2$. For | |||
| this prevariety $X$, the diagonal $\Delta_X$ is not closed in $X \times X$. | |||
| Indeed, if $\Delta_X$ were closed in $X \times X$, then its pre-image in $X_1 \times X_2$ | |||
| under the morphism $f\colon X_1 \times X_2 \to X\times X$ defined by | |||

| \] where $i_j\colon X_j \xhookrightarrow{} X$ is the canonical inclusion of $X_j$ | |||
| into $X = \left( X_1 \sqcup X_2 \right) / \sim $, | |||
| would be closed in $X_1 \times X_2$. But | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| f^{-1}(\Delta_X) &= \{ (x_1, x_2) \in X_1 \times X_2 \mid i_1(x_1) = i_2(x_2) \} \\ | |||
| &= \{ (x_1, x_2) \in X_1 \times X_2 \mid x_j \neq 0 \text{ and } x_1 = x_2 \text{ in } k\} \\ | |||
| &= \{ (x, x) \in k \times k \mid x \neq 0\} | |||
| \subseteq k \times k = X_1 \times X_2 | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| which is not closed in $X_1 \times X_2$. In fact, | |||
| $f^{-1}(\Delta_X) = \Delta_k \setminus \{ (0, 0) \} \subseteq k \times k$. | |||

| Affine varieties are algebraic varieties. | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| Let $X$ be an affine variety. We choose an embedding $X \subseteq k^{n}$. Then | |||
| $\Delta_X = \Delta_{k^{n}} \cap (X \times X)$. But | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Delta_{k^{n}} = \{ (x_i, y_i)_{1 \le i \le n} \in k^{2n} \mid x_i - y_i = 0\} | |||
| \] is closed in $k^{2n}$. Therefore, | |||
| $\Delta_X$ is closed in $X \times X$ (note that the prevariety topology of $X \times X$ | |||
| coincides with its induced topology as a subset of $k^{2n}$ by construction | |||
| of the product prevariety $X \times X$). | |||

| \end{enumerate} | |||
| \end{aufgabe} | |||
| Recall that $k \mathbb{P}^{n}$ is the projectivisation | |||

| .\end{salign*} | |||
| \begin{satz}[Segre embedding] | |||

| [x_0 y_0 : \ldots x_0 y_m : \ldots : x_n y_0 : \ldots : x_n y_m ] | |||

| where $\zeta$ is a Zariski-closed subset of $k \mathbb{P}^{nm + n + m}$. | |||
| \label{prop:segre-embed} | |||
| \end{satz} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| It is clear that | |||
| $f$ is well-defined. Let us denote by $(z_{ij})_{0 \le i \le n, 0 \le j \le m}$ the | |||
| homogeneous coordinates on $k \mathbb{P}^{nm + n + m}$, and call them | |||
| \emph{Segre coordinates}. Then $f(k \mathbb{P}^{n} \times k \mathbb{P}^{m})$ | |||
| is contained in the projective variety | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| \zeta &= \mathcal{V}\left( \left\{ z_{ij}z_{kl} - z_{kj}z_{il} \mid 0 \le i, k \le n, 0 \le j, l \le m \right\} \right) \\ | |||
| &\subseteq P\left( k^{(n+1)(m+1)} \right) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| as can be seen by writing | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| f([x], [y]) = \begin{bmatrix} x_0 y_0 : & \ldots & : x_0y_m \\ | |||
| \vdots & & \vdots \\ | |||
| x_n y_0 : & \ldots & : x_n y_m | |||
| \end{bmatrix} | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| so that | |||
| \[ | |||
| z_{ij} z_{kl} - z_{kj} z_{il} = | |||
| \begin{vmatrix} | |||
| x_i y_j & x_i y_l \\ | |||
| x_k y_j & x_k y_l | |||
| \end{vmatrix} | |||
| = 0 | |||
| .\] | |||
| The map $f$ is injective because, if $z \coloneqq f([x], [y]) = f([x'], [y'])$ then | |||
| there exists $(i, j)$ such that $z \in W_{ij} \coloneqq \{ z \in k \mathbb{P}^{nm + n + m} \mid z_{ij} \neq 0\} $ | |||
| so $x_i y_j = x_i'y_j' \neq 0$. In particular | |||
| $\frac{x_i}{x_i'} = \frac{y_j'}{y_j} = \lambda \neq 0$. Since | |||
| \[ | |||
| [x_0 y_0 : \ldots : x_n y_m ] = [x_0' y_0' : \ldots : x_n' y_m' ] | |||
| \] means that there exists $\mu \neq 0$ such that, for all $(k, l)$, | |||
| $x_k y_l = \mu x_k'y_l'$. Taking $k = i$ and $l = j$, we get that $\mu = 1$ | |||
| and hence, for all $k$, $x_k y_j = x_k' y_j'$, so | |||
| $x_k = \frac{y_j'}{y_j} x_k' = \lambda x_k'$. Likewise, for all $l$, | |||
| $x_i y_l = x_i' y_l'$, so $y_l = \frac{1}{\lambda} y_l'$. As a consequence | |||
| $[x_0 : \ldots : x_n ] = [ x_0' : \ldots : x_n' ]$ and | |||
| $[y_0 : \ldots : y_m ] = [y_0' : \ldots : y_m' ]$, thus | |||
| proving that $f$ is injective. Note that we have proven that | |||
| \[ | |||
| f^{-1}(W_{ij}) = U_i \times V_j | |||
| \] | |||
| where $U_i = \{ [x] \in k \mathbb{P}^{n} \mid x_i \neq 0\} $ | |||
| and $V_j = \{ [y] \in k\mathbb{P}^{m} \mid y_j \neq 0\} $. | |||
| For simplicity, let us assume that $i = j = 0$. The open sets $U_0, V_0, W_0$ are affine charts, | |||
| in which $f$ is equivalent to | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| k^{n} \times k^{m} &\longrightarrow k^{nm + n + m} \\ | |||
| (u, v) &\longmapsto (v_1, \ldots, v_m, u_1, u_1v_1, \ldots, u_1v_m, \ldots, u_n, u_n v_1, \ldots, v_n v_m) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| which is clearly regular. In particular $f \mid U_0 \times V_0$ is a morphism of algebraic | |||
| pre-varieties. | |||
| $\text{im }f = \zeta$: Let $[z] \in \zeta$. Since the $W_{ij}$ cover | |||
| $k \mathbb{P}^{nm + n + m}$, we can assume without loss of generality, $z_{00} \neq 0$. Then | |||
| by definition of $\zeta$, $z_{kl} = \frac{z_{k_0} z _{0l}}{z_{00}}$ for all $(k, l)$. If we | |||
| set | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| ([x_0 : \ldots : x_n ] , [y_0 : \ldots : y_m]) | |||
| &= \left( \left[ 1 : \frac{z_{10}}{z_{00}} : \ldots : \frac{z_{n_0}}{z_{00}}\right], | |||
| \left[1 : \frac{z_{01}}{z_{00}} : \ldots : \frac{z_{0m}}{z_{00}}\right]\right) | |||
| \end{salign*} | |||
| we have a well defined point $([x], [y]) \in U_0 \times V_0 \subseteq k\mathbb{P}^{n} \times k \mathbb{P}^{m}$, which satisfies $f([x], [y]) = [z]$. | |||
| Thus $f^{-1}\colon \zeta \to k \mathbb{P}^{n} \times k \mathbb{P}^{m}$ is defined and | |||
| a morphism of algebraic pre-varieties because, in affine charts | |||
| $W_0 \xlongrightarrow{f^{-1}|_{W_0}} U_0 \times V_0$ as above, it is the regular map | |||
| $(u_{ij})_{(i,j)} \mapsto \left( (u_{i_0})_i, (u_{0j})_j \right) $. | |||
| \end{proof} | |||
| \begin{korollar} | |||
| Projective varieties are algebraic varieties. | |||
| \end{korollar} | |||
| \begin{proof} | |||
| By \ref{exc:closed-subs-of-vars} it suffices to show that | |||
| $k \mathbb{P}^{n}$ is an algebraic variety. Let | |||
| $f\colon k \mathbb{P}^{n} \times k \mathbb{P}^{n} \to k \mathbb{P}^{n^2 + 2n}$ | |||
| be the Segre embedding. For $[x] \in k \mathbb{P}^{n}$: | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| f([x], [x]) &= | |||
| \begin{bmatrix} | |||
| x_0x_0 : & \ldots & : x_0 x_m \\ | |||
| \vdots & & \vdots \\ | |||
| x_n x_0 : & \ldots & : x_n x_m | |||
| \end{bmatrix} | |||
| .\end{salign*} | |||
| Thus $f([x], [x])_{ij} = f([x], [x])_{ji}$. Let now | |||
| $[z] \in \zeta \subseteq k \mathbb{P}^{n^2 + 2n}$, where $\zeta$ is defined | |||
| in the proof of \ref{prop:segre-embed}, and | |||
| such that, in Segre coordinates, $z_{ij} = z_{ji}$. Without loss of generality, | |||
| we can assume $z_{00} = 1$. Set $x_j \coloneqq z_{0j}$ for $1 \le j \le n$. Thus | |||
| for all $(i, j)$ | |||
| \begin{salign*} | |||
| f([x], [y])_{ij} = x_i x_j = z_{0i} z_{0j} = z_{i0} z_{0j} = z_{ij} z_{00} = z_{ij} | |||
| ,\end{salign*} i.e. | |||
| \[ | |||
| \Delta_{k \mathbb{P}^{n}} \simeq | |||
| \{ [z] \in \zeta \mid z_{ij} = z_{ji}\} | |||
| \] which is a projective and thus closed set of $k \mathbb{P}^{n} \times k \mathbb{P}^{n}$. | |||
