The R-algebra homomorphism R[X] → R[X] sending X ↦ c · X, used to realise the
scalar R*-action on the Rees algebra and hence on the tangent cone.
Instances For
Scaling by 1 on R[X] is the identity homomorphism.
Composition of scaling homomorphisms corresponds to multiplication: scaling by c₁
after scaling by c₂ equals scaling by c₁ * c₂.
The scaling endomorphism scaleAlgHom c preserves the Rees subalgebra of R[X]
associated to an ideal I.
The ring endomorphism of the Rees algebra reesAlgebra I induced by scaling X ↦ c · X.
Instances For
The scaling endomorphism of the Rees algebra fixes the image of R under the structure map.
The ideal of the Rees algebra obtained by extending an ideal 𝔪 ⊆ R along the
structure map; its quotient defines the associated graded ring.
Instances For
The extended ideal reesIdealFromBase I is preserved (in the comap sense) by every
scaling endomorphism of the Rees algebra.
The commutative ring structure on the associated graded ring, inherited from the quotient construction.
The induced ring endomorphism of the associated graded ring gr_I(R) coming from
the R*-scaling action on the Rees algebra.
Instances For
The tangent cone is a cone: scaling by 1 acts as the identity on the associated graded ring.
The tangent cone is a cone: the scaling action is multiplicative,
(c₁ * c₂)·_ = c₁ ·(c₂ ·_) on gr_I(R).
The canonical ring homomorphism R → gr_𝔪(R), factoring through the structure map
into the Rees algebra and the quotient projection.
Instances For
The tangent cone sits over the closed point: the ideal 𝔪 lies in the kernel of
R → gr_𝔪(R), so the map factors through the residue field R⧸𝔪.
The tangent cone C_x X := Spec(gr_𝔪 O_{X,x}) of X = Spec R at the point cut out by 𝔪.
Instances For
Definition 38: the tangent cone of Spec R at a point with maximal ideal 𝔪,
defined as Spec(gr_𝔪(R)).
Instances For
The structure morphism C_x X → X = Spec R from the tangent cone to the ambient scheme.
Instances For
The associated graded ring is an algebra over the residue field R ⧸ 𝔪.
The associated graded ring is an algebra over the Rees algebra via the quotient map.
Algebra isomorphism realising the associated graded ring as the exceptional fiber
of the blow-up: gr_𝔪(R) ≃ reesAlgebra 𝔪 ⊗_R (R⧸𝔪).
Instances For
The ring isomorphism underlying the algebra equivalence
gr_𝔪(R) ≃ reesAlgebra 𝔪 ⊗_R (R⧸𝔪).
Instances For
The exceptional fiber of the blow-up Bl_𝔪(Spec R) → Spec R above the closed point,
realised as Spec(reesAlgebra 𝔪 ⊗_R (R⧸𝔪)).
Instances For
Scheme-theoretic isomorphism identifying the tangent cone with the exceptional fiber of the blow-up.
Instances For
The additive group structure on the graded piece 𝔪^n / 𝔪^{n+1}.
The R-module structure on the graded piece 𝔪^n / 𝔪^{n+1}.
The quotient ring homomorphism from the Rees algebra onto the associated graded ring.
Instances For
The projection reesAlgebra 𝔪 → gr_𝔪(R) is surjective.
Proposition 38 (smooth case): At a smooth (regular) point, the associated graded ring
is isomorphic to the symmetric algebra on the cotangent space, so the tangent cone is the
linear tangent space Sym(T*_x X).
Proposition 38: The tangent cone of Spec R at 𝔪 is the exceptional fiber of the
blow-up, and at a regular (smooth) local ring it coincides with Sym(T*_x X).
The coordinate ring of the linear tangent space at the closed point of a local ring, namely the symmetric algebra on the cotangent space.
Instances For
The (Zariski) tangent space scheme Spec(Sym(T*_x X)) at the closed point.
Instances For
There is a canonical surjective ring homomorphism from the symmetric algebra on the cotangent space onto the associated graded ring; equivalently, the tangent cone embeds into the linear tangent space.
