The Weil divisor group DW(Y) on Y (Def 29, Lec 14): finitely supported ℤ-valued
formal sums on Y, viewed as the free abelian group on points of Y.
Instances For
A Weil divisor is effective when all coefficients are non-negative.
Instances For
An ideal class in the class group is trivial iff the ideal is principal: a concrete
realization of Pic = DC / principals (Cor 19, Lec 15) for Dedekind domains.
Two Cartier divisors (i.e. non-zero ideals) are linearly equivalent when they represent the same class in the Picard group.
Instances For
A UFD that is also a Dedekind domain is a PID.
For a Dedekind domain that is also a UFD, the ideal class group is trivial, i.e. Pic is trivial: every ideal is principal.
The Cartier-to-Weil divisor map: send a fractional ideal to its valuation data, recording for each height-one prime the order of vanishing.
Instances For
Reconstruct a non-zero fractional ideal from its Weil divisor data via the finite product over height-one primes raised to the orders of vanishing.
Restriction of the Cartier-to-Weil map to invertible fractional ideals.
Instances For
The Weil-to-Cartier map: build an invertible fractional ideal as the product of prime ideals raised to the orders specified by the Weil divisor.
Instances For
The multiplicative isomorphism between invertible fractional ideals (the
Cartier divisor group) and the free abelian group on height-one primes (the
Weil divisor group), proving DC ≃ DW for a Dedekind domain.
Instances For
Pic(R) = DC(R) / principals: the class group is isomorphic to the
quotient of invertible fractional ideals by principal fractional ideals
(Cor 19, Lec 15).
Instances For
A discrete valuation ring is a UFD.
A discrete valuation ring is a PID.
Every Dedekind domain is locally factorial: localizations at primes are DVRs (non-zero primes) or fields (the zero prime), both of which are UFDs.
Localizing a Dedekind domain at a non-zero prime gives a DVR.
Localizing a Dedekind domain at a non-zero prime gives a PID.
In a UFD, every minimal non-zero prime (i.e. height-one prime) is principal, generated by a prime element.
Under local factoriality, a height-one prime ideal becomes principal after localizing at any prime: this is the local condition relating Weil and Cartier divisors.
Any ideal in a Dedekind domain becomes principal after localizing at a non-zero prime, since the localization is a DVR (hence PID).
The class group measures the obstruction between Weil and Cartier divisors: a non-zero ideal represents the trivial class iff it is already principal.
The Picard group of the affine line A¹_k = Spec k[x] is trivial, since
k[x] is a PID.
Polynomial rings in arbitrarily many variables over a field are UFDs.
The power series ring over a PID is a UFD.
The class number of a PID is one: every PID has trivial Picard group.
For a Dedekind domain, the class group is trivial iff the ring is a PID.
Finitely generated torsion-free modules over a PID are free: a key step in
classifying coherent sheaves on A¹ and in proving Grothendieck-Birkhoff.
The Cartier divisor group DC(A) (Def 30, Lec 15), realized as the units of
the monoid of fractional ideals.
Instances For
Alternative spelling of CartierDivisorGroupUnits over a general domain.
Instances For
The principal divisor map (Def 31, Lec 15) sending a unit of K to the
fractional ideal it spans; its image is the subgroup of principal divisors.
Instances For
The subgroup of principal Cartier divisors, i.e. the image of the principal divisor map.
Instances For
Membership criterion: a Cartier divisor is principal iff some element of K
spans it as a singleton fractional ideal.
The Picard group as the quotient DC / principals, the abelian group from
Cor 19.
