Two schemes are birational when they share a common dense open Z, i.e. there exist open immersions f : Z ↪ X and g : Z ↪ Y with dense images.

Instances For

    A scheme is projective if it admits a closed immersion into some Proj 𝒜 for a finitely-generated graded (𝒜 0)-algebra.

    Instances For

      Every affine scheme admits a projective completion: there is a projective scheme Y and an open immersion U ↪ Y with dense image.

      The graph-closure construction: given a proper morphism f : X → S with integral domain, the closure of the graph yields a projective scheme X' birational to X. This is the geometric heart of Chow's lemma.

      Chow's lemma helper: for any proper morphism X → S with integral X, there is a projective scheme X' birational to X.

      Birationality is reflexive: every scheme is birational to itself via the identity.

      Birationality is symmetric: swap the roles of X and Y in the witnessing common open.
