If f : ℤ →₀ k is supported in nonnegative degrees, then it lies in the annihilator
of any g supported in nonnegative degrees under the residue pairing (f, g) ↦ ∑ j f j · g (-1 - j).
Annihilator characterization: f annihilates every nonneg-supported g
under the residue pairing if and only if f is itself nonneg-supported.
Converse: if f annihilates every strictly-negative-supported g
under the residue pairing, then f is supported in strictly negative degrees.
Biconditional version: the annihilator of the nonneg-supported subspace under the residue pairing is exactly the strictly-negative-supported subspace.
Tate-style duality: for a self-dual pairing B : V ≃ V*, the dimension of
B⁻¹(W₁⁰) ∩ B⁻¹(W₂⁰) equals the codimension of W₁ + W₂ in V.
Restated form of tate_duality_via_pairing where the annihilator subspaces
W₁' and W₂' are given as hypotheses.
Euler-characteristic identity: for any two subspaces of a finite-dimensional V,
dim(W₁ ∩ W₂) - dim(V/(W₁ + W₂)) = dim W₁ + dim W₂ - dim V.
Symmetric form combining Tate duality and the Euler identity, relating
dim(W₁ ∩ W₂) + dim(W₁' ∩ W₂') to the dimensions of W₁, W₂, V,
and the codimension of W₁ + W₂.
For n < -1, the Čech H¹(O(n)) on ℙ¹ realizes Tate-style duality:
its dimension equals dim H⁰(O(-2 - n)).
Both directions of Serre duality on ℙ¹: dim H¹(O(n)) = dim H⁰(O(-2-n))
and dim H⁰(O(n)) = dim H¹(O(-2-n)).
Bundles Serre duality on ℙ¹ (both directions) together with the
Riemann–Roch formula χ(O(n)) = n + 1.
The abstract Serre duality matches the explicit ℙ¹ computation:
dim H⁰(O(-2-n)) = dim H¹(O(n)).
The Tate-vector-space duality applied to the ℙ¹ Čech setup yields the
equality of H¹(O(n)) and H⁰(O(-2 - n)) dimensions, for n < -1.
